Love the ambiance - not super crowded on a Friday at 9:40A, kitschy decor, plenty of light. Young lady at counter was polite and eager to serve, though a bit distracted by activity going on behind her in the drive thru. Coffees were good, albeit a bit pricy: $6.25 for a large cappuccino - strong and definitely Italian coffee - and $7.75 for a med vanilla carmel whip frappe, which was like a dessert. Husband ordered Big Classic Breakfast with sausage patties, sunny side up. He enjoyed it, and I loved the pancakes. Unfortunately, I didn't love my breakfast. $6.95 Divine Biscuit Angel, not served in drive thru or take out. Must be something special; OK, I'll try it. Can I have the egg over hard? When they brought it to me, I thought they had my order wrong. It looked NOTHING like the picture. Upon closer look at the picture, the runny egg made it look moist. But where were the onions? I was told they were out of them because they don't sell very many of this biscuit. And the shredded cheese was a slice of American. Basically it was 2 sausage patties, a biscuit (that was a bit dry), an egg (which was over hard, thank you!) and a slice of cheese. I'm going to stop here and let you draw your own conclusion on my opinion of the breakfast. read more

Puccino's is currently my favorite study spot! The ladies that work here don't always make conversation with you, but they recommend great stuff and always get your food and drinks out to you quickly, hot and fresh. This place definitely has character!! Every wall has something interesting or funny to look at/read. The decor will leave you entertained and never board. This isn't your modern, basic coffeeshop...it's a nice change up to a lot of places you'll visit nowadays. read more

I wish I could have an option for no stars!!! Drive thru for watered down tasteless coffee. Go inside to remedy the situation and the girl working says she has to ask the manager how to make my coffee problem a non problem. Shes texting, Im waiting. Gave me all kinds of excuses why she couldn't fix my $4 coffee. I left that nasty sh&$ on the counter!!! Wont ever go back. Mike Williams you can do better! read more

C.W.A...coffee with an attitude...the cashier or "Lead Barista" had a serious pis poor attitude like we were there to bother her from what she was supposed to be doing...her job...I know somedays people have bad days...but when she clearly is just a mad person...the grirs were soupy and watery I say pass on it and go to one of the other breakfast places near by read more

Still terrible service. And from the manager no less. Maybe the manager should be less rude to customers who frequent the place. Never going back there again. read more

Pulled my warm donut twist out of the bag to find they tossed it in the bag on top of the napkins without wrapping it. Should have just gone to McD's - coffee would be just as good and there wouldn't be paper adhered to my food. read more

Puccino's Coffee - Donut twist with napkin attached. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

I live in River Ridge so I go to this small coffee shop. The place is beautiful inside and the people at the window are very friendly. I tried a "mocha frappe" and I swear it was the most delicious thing I've ever had in my life. Of course, coffee is a little pricey. Everything is a little pricey right now. But this is so good, I would rate it over Starbucks. read more

What a wonderful experience! My hubby and I visited Puccinos and truly enjoyed it. In all transparency, the inside has a lot going on, but the service was phenomenal and we enjoyed our drinks. First, let me give kudos to Jerry, who served us. He was welcoming, made suggestions and extended genuine gratitude. He did a great job sharing about the menu since it was our first visit, offered us a sample of their signature drink and sharing details about their refill policy. Perfect 10 on the service. I enjoyed my frozen cappuccino- very creamy, flavorful and a good portion size. My hubby tried the house coffee with lavender flavoring. Definitely something new, but he really enjoyed it. I look forward to returning and enjoyed our first visit. read more

They keep it so cold in here year round. If you go inside for longer longer than five minutes, bring a sweater, jacket, coat, etc. The staff stated their is nothing they can do for it is controlled by the wizard of oz. Maybe the one star will get someone's attention. Probably not based on their poor average... read more

Puccino's Coffee - the inside of a restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

Where do I begin.? Coffee is fine. That's good. Iced latte is good. Can't have a granita because it's loaded with sugar and I don't like a whole lot of sugar so that's out. I've gotten a croissant that was toasted that was so so I've gotten a croissant that was heated in the microwave and that was rubbery. They stopped serving breakfast way too early for me. I like breakfast anytime of the day and that is not possible because their kitchen closes quite early. I think it's about 2 in the afternoon. Service was less than enthusiastic or friendly. I always try to be friendly and smile and it's difficult with someone who seems like they don't want to be there. The café is appealing. it was clean. read more

Interesting place. The interior of Puccino's is immaculate. I mean, really a work of art with the furnishings. Yet the service that goes along with a good product is so-so. A little slow at times when it comes to ordering and delivering such items as coffee, sandwich wraps, and pastries. The kitchen closes either at 3 or 4 PM, and you'll have to walk to the window to pick up your food as opposed to getting it served to you at the table. Nonetheless, the food and coffee is pretty good, and there is a gambling room that is within the center of the venue. While there are several Puccino's venues all over the New Orleans area, this one seems to be among the newest. read more

Food was okay but service definitely needs work. I had gotten a wrap with a Barqs Root beer. Barqs is in a bottle, have to ask the cashier for a cup with ice, then I had to ask her to open the bottle! Got the eye roll on that but she did open it. Good restaurants will do those things without asking. Then to top that off, she did not turn in one of the orders for one in our group. That's always nice when one is sitting there while everyone is eating. read more

Puccini's is not cool. That's not a criticism, as "cool" here is used in its pre-West Side Story former sense: understated, quiet, calm, muted, unemotional. Puccini's is none of these, with its bright lights and colors, seemingly endless array of menus and promotions in front, behind, hanging above, and atop the counter, a wide range of products arrayed there as well as on shelves and rolling carts all around the place, and even a collection of motivational words running along the molding overhead. Did that last sentence leave you a bit overwhelmed? If so, I've succeeded in conveying the feeling of sitting down with a cup of coffee at Puccino's. My experience is limited to the cup of brewed coffee, which was surprisingly weak but still satisfying, and a scone that moist and fresh with a biscuit-like texture. There is a complete brunch menu with sandwiches and egg-based dishes. Back to those motivational words: The list overhead included "accomplished, astute, confident, creative, resourceful, strong, loving," and "discrete". Discrete? All the rest I could imagine on posters at the office, but "discrete"? Did they mean "discreet"? The latter probably applies to some of the rendezvous at coffee shops, but how did the word--in either spelling--end up on that list? I will carry that question to the grave, I fear. read more

Puccino's Coffee - 'Twist knob for table busing' - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

I am not one to leave reviews, I am one that understands people and businesses have off days, but for me to have had food from this place twice in 3 weeks and it not be good, for the prices they charge, I am HIGHLY disappointed. The very first time I've ever had food from here, I had a wrap, not good. Today I had a Caesar Salad, horrible. The chicken literally was hard and looked as if it had been sitting, definitely not fresh. I paid $12 for this salad and it was NOT worth the money AT ALL!!!! I am not happy with the food and this will be the last time I order. First impressions are lasting and although I gave it a second chance, there won't be a third. read more

This sandwich was almost $8 dollars and I'm just thinking of what I could get with that.... Praline bacon and egg Biscuit from District. Two breakfast meals from burger-king, full breakfast with home fries from Cafe Latte da. Chick fill A breakfast, eggnormus burrito, 7 value menu burritos from Taco Bell.... Yeah I won't be getting breakfast from here again. Nor coffee since my latte was cold. read more

Puccino's Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

Such an interesting, artful interior that's oh so pleasant to be in. Good music and friendly staff, you can tell that they have a good system amongst staff. Interior was immaculate, they even have a button that you can press if you need a table cleaned for you. Thia is my first visit, and I definitely want to come back to try some of their food items. I love how their menu includes the tax, but my beverage was somehow even cheaper than that! I was served quickly after I ordered, amd the staff was very knowledgeable about the different drinks. I got a stout iced puccino, very smooth and creamy! read more

I only use the drive through, but the staff is always kind and courtesy. Food and drinks are always delicious. Calling for a pick up order and picking up in the drive through is a breeze. read more

I have to say that this is the worst coffee shop in Elmwood. If you want to wait 15 min and pay almost $3.50 for bitter black coffee, then for sure come here. If you want the drive through person to argue with you about the price and wait time and be super rude to your face, then for sure come here. Otherwise, yes, I agree, you're not Starbucks, where I have never waited 15 min for black coffee with a horrible attitude. If I want "gourmet" coffee that doesn't taste like burnt beans, I will go to District Donuts. I frequent here b/c it's so convenient to my job but they have permanently lost my business after today. read more

Every time I go in this place it smells like horrible BO. Smells like a sweaty armpit. Like the place where your scrotum and thigh meet, smells like that, after a gym visit... in hell. Can't stand the smell. The coffee's okay read more

Terrible customer service, so rude and never going back again because of this one cashier. They should reevaluate their employees because it really put a bad taste in my mouth for the company. Oh and if you want food good luck with that, the kitchen seems to be closed 24/7! :) read more

I visited Puccino's for a quick daytime coffee outing. I arrived at 10am on a Tuesday morning and parking was non-existent. I guess it's good that they're getting business, but the parking lot is a bit small for the location. I had to drive around a few minutes before locating a spot behind the building. I then had to go through the drive through area in order to reach the parking spot. I ordered a cappuccino, and silly me for thinking that it would come in a small ceramic cup lol. I was asked if I wanted a small, medium or large. I was then given the option of adding flavoring. I never knew ordering a cappuccino could be so difficult lol. However, I did appreciate the fact that they had several sugar free syrups and decided to go with french vanilla. My cappuccino was super hot and I had to wait about 30 minutes before being able to comfortably drink it. The inside of the coffee shop was unique, but the atmosphere wasn't for me. I can't see myself taking my laptop there and hanging out for a couple of hours. read more

Puccino's Coffee - Small Cappuccino - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

I have officially come here for coffee, breakfast, lunch and post dinner coffee (in that order). So sit down and get ready for a serious well rounded review. - Coffee :They offer a full menu of coffee drinks so if you have a favorite they got it. I enjoy the iced Puccino, iced coffee, and when I'm in the mood for dessert coffee, the frozen Puccino. -Breakfast: I love the waffle sandwich, its perfect for a hearty Sunday breakfast. -Lunch:I love the apple turkey and brie sandwich and get it almost every time. -They do not have a wait staff. You order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. It's a little unclear if its expected to bus your own table and I've seen people do both. -They have outdoor seating -This Puccino's has a drive thru, but a few times I have tried to use it, they've had issues and it takes longer than if I would just walk inside. If you have been to any of the other locations, this one is no different except it is larger. Yes, they still have clusters of crap everywhere, as if someone bought one of everything from World Market and threw it on the counter. The music is a no go, its super loud italian pop music. Since its been open I have never seen it empty so the people of River Ridge and Harahan are taking to it well. I grew up in the area so I love seeing new businesses popping up. During the week nights a lot of high school kids were there studying, but it still wasn't a problem finding a booth. read more

Puccino's Coffee - Sweet dreams are made of these - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

Puccino's has opened a new location, this one at the site of the old Cellars of River Ridge. Amazing what they did inside, nice faux Italian look, with a sharp modern touch. Plenty of seating, booths, tables, and couches. Stopped in for a light lunch. My wife ordered the turkey Apple Brie panini while I settled for a cranberry muffin. Food was good. Local coffee shops have some serious new competition. read more

Puccino's Coffee - Front counter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Harahan, Louisiana

I am a coffee lover of all sorts, so Italian coffee after a morning of plane travel sounded really amazing at that very moment. Totally not what I was expecting, when I walked in on a pretty early morning though. It was an awkward vibe. Then, I walked up to the order counter and the customer service was just felt cold, like our business was unwanted. I've been to another Puccino's Coffee location and it was a lot better than this one. Ordered coffee and it was more bitter than I remember. My family and I were a bit hungry, too and tomato soup was on the menu. Sadly, that was just okay, too, nothing too exciting. The coffee shop was was near empty and I was surprised because it was so warm and inviting. They definitely get an A for "awkward" and I was just B for "bummed. My experience was nothing but mediocre. read more

The coffee is always really good and hot. They have really sweet baristas now and they're always very helpful! I love to get the ultimate iced puccino or a hot chai with oat milk. Also the super shot is amazing for a pump up on tired days! read more

Love Puccino's Coffee. I rate solely on the Iced Puccino and frozen Puccino. I love it! If you get the Primo Puccino, it has a shot of espresso. Soooo good. It cost me around 5.30 for a large. The frozen Puccino is more like a dessert to me. Kind of like an afogato style coffe. Kind of. Only caveat is the location of the drive thru. read more

This place is so trippy. Overwhelmingly decorated. My senses go to extremes. There is just too much too take in. The frozen Puccino is a great drink. Coffee and ice cream. Also, the granita is banging. Lots of good muffins. Brunch is actually pretty good. Lots of seating, and comfortable too. But the kitchen closes at 3. Really disappointing. All in all, it's a weird as coffee shoppe. Disorienting in structure and appeal. read more

The frozen Puccino gets 5 stars, most everything else 2-3 stars, including the service. It's just blah and basic - nothing that differentiates them. I do like that you can request a decaf frozen Puccino. I tried the 1/2 sandwich & soup combo and it was average. It is definitely not worth $7.99 though. The tomato soup, eh. I didn't finish it all. The ham is thick sliced and has the skin on it? Ham with skin annoys me on a sandwich. The Swiss cheese is average, as is the wheatberry bread; which tastes like regular ol' wheat bread to me. $1.89 for a 16.9oz bottle of Kentwood water = ridiculous. They have a $5 credit card minimum. That in and of itself infuriates me and makes me not want to return, although I do. read more

The owners are deeply stupid, and the biscuit queen signs are really strange (please take them down). However most of the workers are really nice, especially the Eastern European ladies on met road and the big guy with a southern accent in river ridge. I don't really understand the effort to advertise how "healthy" Puccinos is (it's clearly not) but I enjoy the frozen green tea, granita, or chocolate muffin. Kitchen food is not worth your money but if you're craving fries or something it's decent. The ambiance is really nice though the music is sometimes too loud. I Love u Puccinos even though your owners are evil read more

The only reason I'm giving them a 3 is because I'm not really a fan of the food but that might just be me. My father in law loves the croissants. The best part about this place is that they let me chill and work all day and have the most comfortable booths with outlets. Their wifi is fast. It's kind of the most ideal place to work if you're not super hungry! read more

Don't waste your time or your money here. There are much better places to get coffee. The service is slow and they don't put cream and sugar in your coffee. I was told you have to do it yourself and then they expect a tip! LMAO. No thanks I'll stick with PJs. read more

My boyfriend had to work and suggested this spot for breakfast. I had an omlet with onions, peppers and spinach. Delish!!! Coffee is good too!! I'll definitely come back. A little pricey, but good food, made fresh. read more

I think Puccino's is now my go-to for coffee. If you are an iced or frozen coffee fan, this is your place. We don't have one on the Westbank, but my new office is in Puccino's territory and I've been enjoying it. I can't believe I've been missing out for years. Their Frozen Cappuccino is fantastic. Tons of sugar, I'm sure, but you can still taste the coffee, which seems to be a rarity in the world of frozen coffee these days. It's a treat, and a good one at that. They do have a sign by the drive thru explaining how the Frozen Cappuccino is "good for you".... I would probably take that with a grain of salt, but it is good for my tastebuds! read more

The coffee was pretty sweet, so I was not too upset. Overall the place made the coffee we wanted with out much fuss. Just was not my cup of coffee. read more

I would rather give everyone a good review, but I just can't for here because the staff is wildly inconsistent with attitude, attentiveness, and LISTENING SKILLS. Several young people who've waited on me & whomever I'm with in the past seem to be drifting with their disinterested "not another one" looks and hamster-wheel heads with calliope music playing and not hearing "AND A SCONE." It's always a scone issue with me, as if someone hit the mute button when I ask for one. Not everyone who works there is like that--there are a few on staff who are always cool & on point, and trust me that those darling ones know who I'm talking about in the above paragraph. The other major issue is the coffee is NOT Italian but more like that of a gas station that opened a really pretty cafe and are using two prepackaged coffee pot packs instead of one. It's not dark, it's not rich, and it all has this bizarre, slightly sweetly bitter taste. They truly, sincerely need new coffee period. Someone needs to go to Starbucks and buy a bag of Verona, French, or Italian roast, although if they really want to go gung-ho, they should find a Torrefazione Italia distributor. That's the creme de la creme that could turn this place around. Compare here to Brocato's, for example, and you'll agree Brocato's=Italian and Puccino's=gas station/donut shop. I recommend a diet coke or San Pellegrino. Desserts are decadent, but this is Nola and there's plenty of competition. Lunch is run of the mill with nothing stand out or unique. They really need a wider variety of simple pastries. read more

I stopped here because it's close to home and someone recommended trying their frozen drink. I got the small frozen Puccino. It was rather sweet and tasted more like a dessert than straight coffee. Might be nice if you want dessert or something sugary, but not if you need the morning caffeine - go with the regular coffee. read more

Food was good.. Yet all of the positively was cancelled out by the loudness and "instructional signage" to the staff.. (As well as instructional signs to the customers?!) Music too loud, and I found the PA announcements about food being ready for pickup VERY annoying. The atmosphere was very ornate but the signage was over the top. Inspirational quotes were good here and there but it seems the person who designed the interior has serious control issues. Sincerely... Is the owner expecting customers to turn a timer on signaling that it's time to "bus"? If go back if were full service and less signage. read more

I like the coffee but it is expensive and if I want an expensive cup of coffee with terrible service I can just go to Starbucks which is actually cheaper. I've stopped going to Puccino's mainly due to the service. At every location the staff act like you ruined their day by walking in door. read more

Heard a few good things about this place, but it was just meh. Eggs and grits had no seasoning....salt or pepper. Bacon was even not flavorful if that makes any sense, but the amount of bacon and eggs was ridiculous. Probably a half lb of bacon, and 4 whole eggs scrambled. Everything bagel was good. Smoked salmon was good, and in abundance. Granita was delish as was the latte. I'll be back for the frozen puccino that i hear great things about, but will make sure i eat before i go. read more
