This is one of the best coffee places w found while visiting New Orleans- tucked into a quiet alley and real holding real history. Think craft coffee- the coffee version of craft cocktails. The barista was so amazing and answered our questions, made suggestions, was friendly and made great drinks. Inside there is merch and classy pirate decor. You'll have plenty to look at and purchase while you wait. We went around noon on a Monday and the alley was quiet and a perfect place to enjoy our drinks. P The chicory blend coffee is so naturally sweet and smooth. We brought back coffee for family to try and they loved it- one only drinks coffee loaded with sweet creamers and loved a cup of this blend with steamed milk (made at home), and kept commenting on how nice it was. Have coffee, learn about history- this isn't just a pirate "themed" coffee house... read more

Pretty good coffee, but a little on the pricey side. I think with tip it was close to $9 for a medium mocha with oat milk. Definitely unique decor; somewhat hidden off a side street. Service was meh, but I think that is pretty typical for the area. I would recommend to go at least once if you are visiting or if you don't mind paying a little extra for coffee. read more

Place was a fun-quick stop. Workers weren't very enthusiastic to help us with our orders when I shared it was our first time. It felt more like a tourist stop, museum exhibition versus a coffee shop--would've loved to see more items on the menu. Still a cute exhibition of all things pirate ‍ read more

What a great hidden gem! Much needed caffeine fix in the morning, and let's be honest, hotel coffee just does not cut it! Luckily we were close and it was lie a treasure hunt! Friendly greeting and a heart! What more could you ask for? Well, maybe that skull and cross bones design...LOL! There's a nice, cozy lounge area with a faux fireplace. But there's also a captain's quarters and homage to Lafitte. My only regret is that I didn't pick up some coffee beans. Great place to come to! read more

Pirate King Coffee was hands-down the best coffee we had on our trip! The coffee was fantastic, and the shop itself is really cool inside with a great atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area--we'll be back next time! read more

I found Pirate King post-breakfast, as is my goal, to find the local coffee places when I travel. Located in an alley in the French Quarter I had no idea existed, I walked in when foot traffic was light (which I highly recommend) and was festooned with all things pirate related. It was so fitting for Jean Lafitte. I ordered my usual coffee drink, mocha breve, light ice, which was to my liking, not too sweet, and enough of the coffee flavor seeping through. I would definitely hit this place again, if I'm in town. read more

Pirate King Coffee - Walking in - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Yaaaaaaaarr my pirate's booty is not to be taken ! New Orleans what can I say? Thanks for this coffee experience. First time being in the french quarter and we were on the prowl for some caffeine. We wanted some local fare besides the usual chicory from all the beignet places around and this shows up on our yelp list. The corsair behind the counter recommended the naughty wench and i obliged by asking "How naughty can you make it ?" The service was informative , the ambiance of the place was straight out of a ride at disneyland , and the drinks hit so hard like you were getting smacked around by Jean Lafitte himself . Take my advice , and make this a spot to visit when you're here in NOLA or you'll catch a bit of scurvy matey ! read more

The Baseline: For a coffee shop the baseline involves the quality of the roast, the taste of the coffee, and the preparation of specialty drinks/food items. Food: The Latte and Iced Coffee had a good taste and the roast smelled good. Preparation of the drinks was pretty standard without any extra bells and whistles and I wanted the extra "swords and doubloons" for coming to this themed coffee shop. Service: Service was efficient and quick. No complaints but nothing sure extra. Ambiance: This place advertises Coffee and Pirates and the cafe is definitely themed for Pirates and Coffee. Merchandise is pirates, pirate bedroom, pirate themed decor, pirate etc. ... pirates... I know I am here for pirates. If you want to think of pirates while having coffee come to this coffee cafe. If you are into ninjas rather than pirates then this is not a place you will get ninjas, just pirates. Pirates verses Ninjas... Pirates win here. read more

I was pleasantly surprised at how cool Pirate King coffee was. I wasn't sure what to expect but when we got there the theme of the entire coffee shop hit the ball out of the park. You actually feel like you're in a pirate ship complete with the Captain's quarters in the back. Such a cool concept and even better coffee. I got one of the specialty coffee is called the Pirates Grog. It was actually delicious. All of the staff was also super nice and accommodating. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Have you ever had a skull in your latte foam?!?!?! I think not. I am here to tell you, it is the little touches like this that make this place a MUST. While in New Orleans, each day, we made it a plan to try a new coffee spot. After the entire time there, we both agreed this was--by far--our favorite of all. The coffee alone, gets the 5 star experience. The staff, the ambiance, the location, and even the cute little store next to it, would make it 6 stars. They have custom designed in-house pirate flavors to add to your coffee--and they truly are tasty and not overly sweet. I wish we would have tried this place at the beginning of our trip, because now when we go, this would be the only place I would consider. I am confident in saying you will not find a better coffee place than this, while in NOLA. read more

Simply unique. The very alley where this one-of -a-kind coffee shop quietly exists is a reminiscent of some Caribbean island nation. Cuba? Or some French territory nation (well, it's located in none other than French Quarter so there is no wonder after all!!) Whatever the image this place emits (based on your interpretation), you'll be welcomed by friendly and welcome staff who explain what "chicory" is all about. I've had a chicory infused coffee in my home state (CO). The nutty taste truly makes the whole coffee experience so next level. To have such a nice indulgence in the state where it boasts it, I certainly was taken to the next level as well. I got me the Chicory Coffee in Cafe Au Lait style. My daughter got an Iced Shaken Cappuccino with Banana, Vanilla and Dark Chocolate. Both of them were absolutely delightful. The coffee menu selection is a good size; there are some bakery items if you want a little bite to eat along with your beverage. The merchandise they sell here on the other side of it is all pirate themed. If you are a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise then this definitely is a must stop place for sure. I noticed in the coffee sleeve that this is a veteran owned business. This also resorts with you then go here. Nice relaxing breeze that runs through the quiet alley truly relaxes your mind and soul. It made our late morning coffee time so exceptional. read more

I came here with a bias: I LOVE Pirates. I also LOVE a themed establishment. This place was awesome! Got here at open on a Sunday and beat a small rush of foot traffic. I really enjoyed my Americano, and my colleagues all had good things to say about their respective drinks. It's easy to spend far too much time walking around the shop! Come here, you won't be disappointed. Super friendly guy running the counter as well. Ye be warned: you'll be back more than once! read more

Stopped here in July 2025 as myself, wife, and kids 19 and 15 wanted some coffee to start our day. This inside is pirate decor, and they are all in. There is also an outdoor seating area as the seating is limited inside. I had a black coffee and my family all had iced coffees. We sat outside on this quiet, cute New Orleans street, drinking our drinks. Perfect experience and yummy coffee. read more

Shiver me timbers, interesting premise for a coffee shop. I skipped the grog and got my usual hot latte which was beautifully hand crafted, smooth and delicious. They do not require that you pay in pieces of eight so I used my card. If you ever find yourself in need of a pirate hat, skull, or treasure chest, you will find it here. Arrr, I can't say that need has ever come for me but I'll know where to go if it does. Don't forget to pop in and check out the captains quarters. There are a few sitting areas inside and several outside. It's in a small alleyway which provides quiet and no traffic. Service was excellent. Glad I was able to spend my booty at this fun place. read more

Yum, yum, yum. I come from a city with great coffee and I was a little nervous about trying to find a good spot on my trip to New Orleans. Pirate King has a name that piqued my interest and definitely satisfied my caffeine cravings. Delicious coffee, kind service and lovely outdoor seating. It was quiet in the alley and I loved spending my morning sipping my coffee and reading my book. Looks like a croissant store might open next door which will really make this place impossible to resist! read more

Pirate King Coffee - Iced coffee on the patio - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Solid coffee, they fancy themselves a museum more than a coffee shop but it appears to be a vanity project more than a true museum.

The staff is nice, and the coffee is delicious. The espresso is rich and strong--it has a unique flavor. They have an outdoor seating area in a cute alley, so there is only foot traffic passing by, giving a quieter, more pleasant atmosphere. They also have wi-fi, which is an absolute bonus for anyone wanting to get in a little work (or play!) while enjoying coffee! read more

The gift shop inside is pirate themed and done well. My son got some souvenirs and I got a Nola hat that matched my outfit that day :) I liked the Captain's bedroom. Nice!! So that's what is great about it. It's a one and done for me though. This place would b great for kids interested in Pirate themed toys /gifts. Unfortunately as other yelpers have commented there is a male employee who has zero social skills. One remarked he makes you feel uncomfortable and that is true. I felt it myself. It's a little off the beaten path . I can't speak about the coffee but if it was good it's a peaceful place to sit and enjoy it. read more

Great location, good seating in a tucked away alley. I feel the current 4.8 stars is a bit inflated. I like supporting non chain small businesses. I would have preferred more emphasis be placed on making a solid coffee and maybe some semi home made confections instead this is a T-shirt shop for The Pirates of the Caribbean with an espresso machine. So much potential. read more

Such a cute coffee shop in NOLA! With so many delicious specialty drinks to choose from, my friends and I took a little while to decide. The baristas were very friendly and helpful. I went with an iced captain snickerdoodle with oat milk. FANTASTIC!! It was super creamy with the most superb balance of sweetness without masking the rich espresso taste. The snickerdoodle flavor was spot on. I only gave 4 instead of 5 because this was a bit pricey. Typically I expect to spend $7-8 on a specialty latte but this was $10.71. Definitely worth trying at least once though because it was a wonderful drink to start the day! read more

This is a super cute coffee shop with a unique pirate theme tucked away in an alleyway. There's limited seating space on the inside (half of it is actually a gift shop selling merch) but there are quite a few chairs/tables in the outdoor area. The menu is pretty vast so I was a bit overwhelmed. Luckily, the barista came to my rescue by offering recommendations based on my palette (I asked for something more middle of the road in terms of sweetness). I ended up ordering the le capitaine, which contains chocolate Milano and coconut. I quite liked the drink, especially since it wasn't overly sweet and the coffee flavor still shined through. The coconut flavor was subtle but still noticeable. I would love to come back and try some of the other fun specialty flavors! read more
