I chose this cute coffee shop while passing thru Metarie. I was the only person in there when I walked in. The barista was not friendly & I never saw her smile once. I ordered a coconut mocha latte & an omelet. The cook was outside when i placed my order & went outside several times during my 45 minute stay. For not being busy AT ALL!, my latte was missing the coconut syrup & my omelet took 30 mins to get. I actually had to go check on it after 25 mins because i was getting strapped for tine. I wish i wouldn't have left a generous tip when I ordered! read more

The service was really good but this latte tastes more like a cappuccino than a latte. I won't be ordering it again. read more

Puccino's Coffee - Large vanilla latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Disappointed with last food service, simple grits, fried egg and toast. They were out of croissants and biscuits at 11am. Grits were not their usual creamy delicious ones. Waited 20 minutes for overcooked egg. Coffee drinks were good. Seating area is still pleasant and enjoyable area to relax. Service was definitely lacking in the kitchen area. read more

Very poor service..Went in this morning for a cup of coffee with my husband, the lady at the register seemed rude from the get go... he got a cappuccino and I got a cold brew and cappuccino tasted fine. The cold brew was very watered down and did not taste good at all. I asked if I can get something else instead and give her back my drink and she said "uhhhhhh...no I'm not really allowed to.." and I said well can I get a refund? It just doesn't taste good and I always get a cold brew from here and she said "uhhhh.. I can't do that" so I said well you can make a cup so you can try it, it doesn't even taste like coffee and she said "I'm not a fan of cold brew" so I just said don't worry about it, threw away my drink and left. Not trying to be rude but I will not be going back read more

Got there at 12:15, was told they "sold out" of. Salmon, chicken salad and bacon!!! There was hardly anyone in there! Ordered Turkey wrap and Chicken wrap...wanted to yell out "where's the meat"!!!. Horrible, AND it took way too long to get bad food. read more

Great service. Clean facility and loved my frozen drink. Easy parking and exit. Several locations. read more

Lots of parking in front of the strip mall where this located. Friendly employees. It could use a good cleaning. Food was good. Reasonable prices. read more

If you want to find some of the BEST coffee in NOLA, look no further than Puccino's! Their Italian coffee is superb and you can even go with the frozen granita (which is what my girls love) or go with a caramel Frappuccino...you won't go away unhappy for sure! read more

I visited Puccino's on Veteran's Blvd this morning to study and pick up coffee. I was warned by other classmates that the Veterans location does not have the best service, and it lived up to its reputation. I ordered a latte with caramel syrup, but when I received the drink there was no caramel in it. I asked the barista to add some in - and when I tasted it afterwards there was orange juice in the latte! Not sure if it was an honest mistake or intentional, but it's safe to say I will not be going back to that location. read more

this is specifically about the location on METAIRIE ROAD ! ive been going for the past 7 months consistently and there has been a great decline in all categories. MY ORDER IS NEVER CORRECT. i have even called afterwards to let them know and they will compensate by giving me a free coffee the next day but this is ridiculous !! the prices are wayyy too high to have low quality service from women with attitudes, the biscuit ALWAYS incorrect and/or missing something and my coffee to never have the extra shot that i pay for !!?!? yeaaaa its a no from me read more

I love the Puccinos on West Esplanade in Metairie I always get the Frozen Puccino. great service! L.S.

This coffee shop is nice and quiet, and a perfect place to take a break during the day. The service is great, and the food is good too. Today I had the smoked salmon bagel, and it was fantastic. I'll definitely be coming here for it again. I might just do it again tomorrow! read more

Came in on a random Tuesday afternoon and was the only one in line. Ordered the iced Puccino with espresso and was not disappointed. It was on the sweet side but still good for our first time. Would come back and order one of the frozen drinks or straight espresso. read more

We went here for breakfast. I'm not a coffee drinker. I know, right!! Anyway, the breakfast menu is pretty basic. My hubby got a waffle which came with your choice of side. He chose sausage. It was just mediocre. I had the salmon bagel with cream cheese, onions and capers. It was good. I feel like they can do way more with the menu. Shake it up a bit and offer more fun and appealing breakfast items. The baristas weren't overly friendly. They basically did what they needed to do. The decor is pretty fun. It was just a lack luster experience for me overall. read more

When I first noticed these coffee shops popping up around town, I thought they were a national chain. Upon stepping into this location on Sunday morning, I realized nope; this is definitely local. Wow that's a lot of stuff everywhere. I met some family members and we had a variety of items. I liked that I could ask for my hot tea in ceramic and not in their go-cups. I think hot tea changes taste when served in those synthetic-y cups. My nieces got hot chocolate and it was OK. The one person who got iced coffee was happy. The food was hit or miss. The grits were gummy and the cheese grits had unmelted squares of cheese on top. One of the croissant sandwiches was sort of burnt, but my biscuit sandwich was good but really small. Definitely will do a in a pinch but not my first choice. read more

Puccino's is a coffee shop in serious need of focus. Behind the bar is a large menu featuring what I'd guess are the most popular items: iced coffee, iced lattes, granitas, frappes, and drip coffee. If you'd like something else, direct your attention to... anywhere else on the walls in the rest of the shop. There's a separate sign for mochas, a separate sign for chai, one for juice, one for lemonade, one for wine, a sign for breakfast sandwiches, a sign for frittatas; the list goes on. A shelf under the counter features bottled water, cotton candy, bubblegum, cookies, chips, and chocolates. Displays on either side of the register hold coffee beans, tea bags, breads, danish, muffins, oatmeal, protein bars, scones, and brownies. I counted four drink coolers. Oh, and there's video poker in the back. It's a good thing they sell coffee here, because this shop is exhausting. The service was decent. Both ladies behind the counter had heavy Italian accents, so I'd assume they're in some way part of the Puccino family. The ladies were curt in their exchanges, but efficient. The woman at the register tried to upsell me with some breakfast, and looked puzzled when I asked her if any of the food here was gluten free. That was all the answer I needed. With the myriad of snack options, I was pretty bummed that nothing here is safe for GF folks like me. I'd be happy with a KIND Bar or a packet of nuts, if I can't get a gluten free muffin. No such luck. My white mocha was fine. A bit too sweet, even by mocha standards. I parked myself in a booth and connected to the wifi -- which is free now, btw -- and caught up on my Yelp reviews. I wasn't bothered at all or given dirty looks for sitting on my phone for over an hour. If you're in need of a caffeine boost and you don't require a relaxing environment, Puccino's will work for you. I'd still rather support a place like this over the national chains, but I'd still take a chill, hipstery place over Puccino's in a heartbeat. read more

I've been to Puccino's 3x in 3 days, visiting both of their locations. I can't help it, but i'm addicted to the frozen puccino's. Their regular lattes are also good and I did not have to add any sugar, and the lemon cake I had was large, only $4, and was delicious and not stale. I look forward to trying their breakfast items, and they have pretty awesome working hours. 5am to 12am? I'm in. Clearly Puccino's is a restaurant and not a typical coffee shop like Starbucks or French Press, so I find many of the bad reviews to be unfounded, especially when the major complaints are based on no free wifi and not being able to sit for hours studying at tables without purchasing food, when other patrons are clearly looking for somewhere to sit so that they can eat. read more

Puccino's Coffee - Two for one Tuesdays! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

For all the people complaining about the service it might be time to lower your expectations. You walk up to the counter and order. They make your coffee immediately, and when your food is ready they call your number. You're not waited on so I'm not sure what all these people are crying about regarding service? The staff was fine and efficient. My egg croissant sandwich with turkey was bomb and I would definitely come back here for that. The place itself is clean and pretty and they have free wifi with no one stressing you to give up your table. They also have cute booths that are raised one step. I love booths and this place is cool. I'm visiting from LA and have one more day. I plan on coming back here in the morning because now I know it's a sure thing. That is all! :) read more

Puccino's Coffee - Cute little coffee breakfast spot. Feels mom and pop even though I think it's a chain. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I had a terrible experience here. For one, I was one of the only African American customers and it was awkward for me walking into this place where the customers were openly discussing racism! Nevertheless, I politely ignored the vibes and hard stares and proceeded to wait in line like every else. The lady behind the counter had a very nasty attitude. I had been there previously and ordered a blended coffee that was really good so I wanted the same drink that I had last time but I didn't know the name of the coffee. The lady who helped the first time was very nice but that lady wasn't here this time. This time, I received service from a lady who had a very think accent and she didn't speak English well. I described the drink that I received last time to her. The drink she gave me was not the correct drink so I took it back. I told her this drink she gave me was not the correct drink. The drink I had last time was a blended drink that had whipped cream and chocolate drizzle on top. The drink that she gave me did not and it didn't taste the same either. This drink was very bitter and it tasted like chocolate drizzle. A cup full of chocolate drizzle. She attempted to re-ring the incorrect drink that I was trying to bring back and I told her I didn't want this drink. She proceeded to accuse me of incorrectly ordering and told me that they don't do free drinks and if I wanted her to remake it she would charge me full price. She then proceeded to tell me it was MY mistake, and not her fault. Then she spoke the foreign language over her shoulder while walking off. Very rude. Very unprofessional and almost seemed as if she didn't want to serve me at all. I will never return! Needless to say, I threw the entire coffee away and went straight to Starbucks where the only color that matters is green! read more

Closed at 9:15 PM. The neon sign still flashing "open" and their listing says closes at 10. That's a bummer.

I love the atmosphere, however-the food is so-so. The coffee is ok, but the staff-RUDE. Always has attitude. Can't stand going in there-I feel like a burden because I walked in. And don't ask any questions-the staff becomes confused and even more rude. The wi-fi never works-and don't ask about that either. One plus-free small coffee when you play the video poker. read more

FAMOUS FROZEN PUCCINO: GET IT. Served with Italian espresso and ice cream, this coffee/dessert is to die for. I crave it all of the time! And for about $4, well worth the price! Iced latte: great flavor, more for those who prefer a semi-sweet/bitter coffee flavor Food: They offer breakfast, brunch and lunch options, along with cakes, wine, and sandwiches! Puccino's (2 locations in NOLA) is a cute dive-y coffee house perfect for studying or reading a newspaper/book. I love it here! read more

Puccino's Coffee - 3 Frozen Puccino's and an Iced Puccino Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Puccinios has great coffee. It was becoming part of my morning routine. Joined their little coffee club and some of the morning workers were starting to recognize me as a regular. Friend of mine loves Italian sodas so I brought him there yesterday at about 250. He wanted a chicken wrap off of the menu. I was puzzled when the server said let me ask the kitchen if their going to make it. Their answer was no. No explanation just no. Worst things can happen but when a business says thanks but no thanks to my patronage it doesn't sit well with me. I won't be back. We went to Whole Foods and got a Turkey burger as a result. read more

Just get the Frozen Puccino and you'll know what I'm talking about!!! Blended espresso with a dollop of vanilla soft serve..all topped with Whipped Cream and cinnamon! Simply amazing.. read more

Puccino's Coffee - Frozen goodness!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

If you're looking for a place to study do not come here! This cafe is more for grabbing coffee with friends. They play Italian music in the background and there is a lot of wall decor. It makes me feel like I'm in someone's grandma's house. I ordered a blueberry scone and a Puccino cappuccino. The price is nothing to complain about. It's basically like paying for a drink and pastry from Starbucks. The blueberry scone could've been heated up a little, it was too hard in my opinion. The cappuccino was good, but there was nothing special about it. It just taste like a normal cappuccino. Would I come back? Maybe! Gotta support our local businesses! read more

Puccino's Coffee - Blueberry scone with a Puccino cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

I want to like this place but it's impossible. The floors are sticky and the tables are always dirty. The outside area is never cleaned as well. I have sat in the restaurant before and never see any servers cleaning tables, seats etc. It so unclean and bugs are flying around the place. read more

Haven't been to Puccino's in so long bc of how overpriced it is and how you had to pay for wifi! I couldn't find a table at any of the coffee shops nearby, so I decided to go to Puccino's as my last resort. My opinion about this place has not changed at all. Coffee is still overpriced. They charge for every little thing! I ordered two shots of espresso with two pumps of white mocha and a SPLASH of soy milk. I was charged for a SPLASH of soy milk! The total came out to be $5.67. I didn't have any cash, so I guess it worked out bc there's a $5 minimum with card purchases. They don't allow you to bring in outside food or drinks, but I brought my own snacks anyways. Not sure if they changed the quality of their food, but I remember their sandwiches being subpar and not worth spending $10. On the bright side, they don't charge for wifi anymore. The wifi PW is: lovepuccinos read more

I ordered a medium coffee here and had no cash on me. They wouldn't take my debit card because they have a $5 minimum charge. My first time there, so I didn't know. So I left with no coffee. They threw the coffee out, lost a customer, and received a negative Yelp review. All because they don't want to pay their card swipe charge just once for a new customer that didn't realize they had a $5 minimum. That's poor business. read more

While the food and drinks are decent at best, the service is incredibly slow. The staff is rude, and I was given a two minute lecture why they would not allow me to use a credit card on a transaction (I had a gift card of $5 and my total was around $9. They don't "allow" transactions below $5 on a credit card). This is not only inconvenient, but complete nonsense. Clearly a money saving tactic, but I believe they'll lose more business with this kind of service. A sandwich to go should not take 20 minutes to make either. And if it does, I expect a little more than a half thrown together mess that arrived as my "chicken salad sandwich." Although I didn't use it, a cafe charging for Wi-Fi seems silly. Get it together, Puccino's. read more

It's obvious that Puccino's doesn't want to attract the college crowd that likes to drink coffee, eat overpriced food, and study. Ignoring the big signs declaring that you cannot study in a booth, the place is filled with loud "Italian" music. There are only four booth and about a dozen or so small tables, so seating is pretty limited. Throw in a lack of free wifi and it's not a good place to catch up on anything that requires a laptop or tablet. This was the first coffee shop I've been in in years that didn't offer free wifi. Even Starbucks does that. I wasn't particularly impressed with either of the items on my order. The cappuccino was passable. I also had the 5200 Avenue Bagel, which was ok but a bit greasy. To be honest, I don't see why people would choose this over any of the dozens of other coffee shops in the area. read more

A friend and I dropped in here where we decided that we wanted coffee after roaming around a book store for a while. We ordered the frozen because it was recommended on the review and WOW. It was so good. What is even better was the text message conversation that happened the morning after. K: Do you know what I was thinking about when I woke up this morning? Me: No............... PUCCINO'S? K: Yes! We are addicted. Inside the place is very cute, and I am looking forward to trying to food in the future. What struck me the most is that I almost didn't come because the place was only rated 3 stars. However, I realized it seems to be that people love the frozen, but a handful of people give 1 star reviews because they don't have free WiFi. I wasn't looking for internet so I decided to give the place a try. I don't want to sound like a jerk, but come on. It is obvious that this is a restaurant. I am sure they are discouraging people from studying in there because they need the tables for people who want to come inside and eat. Honestly, if I went for lunch and I couldn't find a place to sit because people were sitting there with a drink typing on their lap top I would be really annoyed. And its not that I don't understand being in school, not having a lot of money, and needing to do work, I'm a graduate student! read more

This review is not for the coffee, but for the horrible service I just received. When I lived here this was my go to Puccino's because it was open late and close to my house. The frozen Puccino is life!!!!!!! I am sacrificing ketosis for this cup of delicious awesomeness! But anyway....the service at this location is horrid. The 3 blonde ladies in here Elena and 2 others are so rude, they don't greet you when you come in or anything. They act like they are upset for being present. I wanted my frozen puccino primo but the lady making the drinks in the red cap walked off so fast I couldn't complete my order. This is not the way to deliver customer service ladies. I will go to the other location down veterans next visit here. read more

Oh Puccinos...that was horrible. Completely horrible. Chicken Cesar wrap took 15mins to make in an empty cafe, when it was only tiny cubes of precooked chicken and wilted lettuce in a wrap, and the price was higher than stated on the menu. The WORST chicken Cesar wrap I've ever had, and if it weren't for their tasty coffee, I'd give this cafe 1 star. First, I hate grilled wraps. Most wraps have cold ingredients and in my opinion, shouldn't be grilled! It results in horribly wilted lettuce. Second, the wrap was falling apart the moment I picked it up. It was wrapped with broken wrap and was completely soggy on the bottom from the gallon of non creamy dressing they put in it. It was inedible. I threw it away. Do NOT order food from Puccinos. Stick to the coffee. read more

Puccino's saved my life. I traveled to Metairie, LA, in spring '06 for business and spent 11 days at and around the Lakeside Mall. When I arrive in any locale one of my first tasks is to locate someplace serving good coffee. For the first three days in Metairie I desperately searched for a good coffee place - hard to find with many businesses still closed after Katrina. Then one of our local informants told us about Puccino's. Hallelujah! Decent, strong, hot americanos with real cream. A local company --- that made it even better. Supporting the return of a local business seemed the very very least we could do. I wasn't thrilled with the pastry selection , though they do serve hot breakfast and also light lunch options. The decor is...eclectic. The coffee is great. If you come to Metairie and need a place for a decent cup of coffee, head for Puccino's. read more

Their black coffee was not the best I had in NOLA, It was a little watered down for my tastes, but the place has a great location and a lot of business. Service was fast and friendly - which are both pluses in my book! read more

I've recently become obsessed with this place since I finally ventured out from just their drink menu. To my surprise I discovered that Puccino's is an excellent breakfast and lunch spot. Breakfast- Mon-Fri they have buy one get one free english muffin with egg, cheddar and ham for $1.99. Thats right, a dollar each! That's like McDonald's prices without having to eat McD's food! Big Win! In addition to that deal they have all the usual breakfast favorites all at great prices. Lunch - Mon - Fri They have "blue plate specials" for $4.99. Monday- red beans Tuesday - white beans Wed- Salsbury steak Thurs - Fried chicken Fri - fried catfish They come with 1 or 2 sides and the portion is generous. Besides that, they have a full menu of paninis, wraps, and salads. Everything has been good and they are fast so I can always count on them to not make me late going back to work. As for coffee, they have a ton of specialty coffee but this one is definitely worth mentioning... skinny frozen wedding cake latte and I swear they are lying because the taste isn't skinny at all! Its small so its good for small groups or take out. read more

Came here for the first time to try their famous Frozen Puccino and ohhhh my!! That was delicious. It was a veryyyy enjoyable dessert but I wouldn't get it if I need a boost of caffeine. It says that there is expresso in it but it has more of a coffee milkshake feel for me. It is topped with ice cream and the rest of the drink was extremely smooth. I would compare this to Starbuck's frappuccino but with ice cream and this is 987987987x better! The flavor is just right and the texture is just amazing. They give you a spoon to mix the ice cream in or just to eat it. Overall, this is a great dessert if you like coffee and I'd probably come back here next time I see one! read more

Puccino's Coffee - Cluttered counter.... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Wow.. rudest service I've had in a coffee shop ever. I have been in here a few times and love the coffee but the service is pretty hot or miss. Today I went in and clearly ordered a iced latte( I had 2 people with me that heard me order) and when she served it to me it was hot. When I told her I ordered iced she picked it up, threw it in the sink and turned her back to make another. No comment from her at all as she pretty much slammed the iced down in front of me. I'm still giving it a 2 star because the coffee was good but customer service was a 1 star. I ran a coffee shop for 4 years and that would have been a instant fired employee for me. That was it for me.. never again. I'll stick to the places where I at least feel appreciated a little bit for forking over $5.00 for a coffee read more

I love this place! **WARNING** The Frozen Puccinos can be addictive!! I've been going here for a couple years. Everything I've tried has been top notch...including their food. I love the ambiance of the place also. They have all kinds of kitschy stuff decorating the place and cool music too. It's a great place to meet up with a friend or friends to visit. They have comfortable seating inside and they have tables outside too. For the lovely humid/hot times here, they have fans with misting water, so you can actually sit outside. My favorite item there is definitely the Frozen Puccino. It is insanely good! The prices tend to be a little bit on the higher side, but the quality of everything is worth it. read more
