You gotta love a business with a good sense of humor. After taking your first few sips of coffee from this small shop (located inside the Stein's Market and Deli), you'll definitely be thinking this coffee is anything but "whatever". I had a cold brew, which was rich, smooth and full of delicious "coffee" flavor (yet not at all bitter....as a cold brew SHOULD be). Again, the shop is super small, taking up a small corner, but the working the the shop is BIG on coffee. He was pretty friendly and willing to chat about all things coffee...so much so, he caught himself then apologized for chatting too much (I really didn't mind). So yeah, stop in, get some coffee, or...whatever.

Whatever you do, be sure to stop by this cool coffee stand inside of Stein's Deli. Don't be fooled by the small size of this place, however, as they can make just about whatever you could possible want (espresso, lattes, coffee, etc.). I didn't test them, but I have no doubt that they will do whatever it takes to make your drink exactly how you like it. You can get whatever floats your boat, but their espresso is very good and is served in the coolest glasses. I usually just stop and get whatever is easiest on my way out the door, but I would definitely recommend stopping by this hidden gem of a coffee shop if you're in the area. They will have whatever you need to get you through your day!

Don't miss it. Pay attention or you will. Quick, no frills, smoothest espresso and a tight mellow milk top to the cappuccino.

Great coffee and great baristas! I tried several different lattes and the chai and they were all amazing!

I got a coffee there this morning and it tasted off. I swirled the cup and noticed the milk was chunky! They used rotten milk :(

TL;DR - Despite how popular and what a tourist stop this is, you still HAVE to grab your beignets…read moreand coffee here, at least once. You do that, you may be stopping more than once. Longer: So I was a little hesitant to go to CDM, because it's such the tourist stop and the first joint anyone mentions when they say "beignet". But this was our first stop, morning of first day. The beignets are piled in sugar, they are warm, crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft, warm and delicate inside. I gotta tell you, the texture is just a little different than Cafe Beignet, the Four Seasons, and even the other CDM in the park we tried a few days later. To me, this is the best one. Now, as a coffee person, their black coffee is strong, rich, and a good compliment to the real show - the beignets. But I did not pick up on nearly as much chicory in their chicory coffee as, say, Cafe Beignet's version. Also, I have to let you know the other location in the big park serves a non-chicory version (in addition to NOLA chicory) that is head and shoulders the best coffee we had in New Orleans. But this is the joint. As a bonus, it's colorful, has consistently great street musicians, and has lots of walkable sites as you struggle to waddle around after too many beignets. Gotta go!

This is a must-do if it is your first time in NOLA. But are the beignets tasty? Only if you like…read moresugary powder over fried dough! Don't be deterred if you see a long line - that's for takeout only. The tables are first come, first served. Portions are quite large so good to share a plate (3 beignets) between 2 ppl. Service can take a while if they happen to be taking a break (that was the case for us). And you are expected to pay when the orders are delivered (cash only). Make sure to tip extra because it is one tough job.

Still a New Orleans Gem - Visitor since 2018!…read more I'm updating my review as of April 2026 because it's important for visitors to know that The Vintage has absolutely "still got it." My last review was in 2020, and I'm happy to report that the quality and atmosphere remain top notch. Whether you are looking for a morning pick up or an evening wind-down, this spot covers all the bases. Their beignets and coffee are a classic must have, and I can personally vouch for their Americano. It is consistently well made and delicious. They also have a great selection of beer and cocktails if you're looking for something a bit stronger. What really sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. We have always had great interactions with the staff, but a special shout out goes to Jimmy, whom we met this past week. He was incredibly kind and hospitable, truly making us feel right at home. Jimmy if you are reading this, THANK YOU!! If you want a spot that feels authentic, welcoming, and consistently excellent, put The Vintage at the top of your list!

Cute cafe! l love the decor. The furniture is very cute & standout ottoman piano did look vintage…read more This is a walk up & order at the bar venue Your are given a number to your table. The menu has many choices. I ordered the firecracker shrimp with side arugula salad. The shrimp was yummy the salad too but expected more on the salad maybe cucumber or tomatoes over all for just having cheese on Arugula with dressing was ok. I paired it with the shrimp and it was tasty! According to the hop on/off bus the beignets & champagne are the hit at this cafe. The bartender made a wonderful cocktail with champagne & it was delicious! The spot is dog friendly & in a cute little restaurant/bar row & shops area.

Mojo is a great coffee spot. The sausage bisuit with sauerkraut and mustard was surprisingly tasty…read more The chocolate muffin warmed up was deliscious. The boudin burrito has gotten larger since last time I had it. The spicy sauce with it is so good. I took the rest of it to go. Also a great working atmosphere with lots of tables and chairs.

Transitioning between the Garden and Warehouse Districts, Jamie W and I were looking for a respite…read moreduring our NOLA walkabout before heading to Willie Mae's for her legendary fried chicken. Spacious with a boho vibe, this was the ideal spot for us to discover at the end of our Magazine Street stroll. Tables were well spaced from each other, so laptoppers get their privacy. Us too, so there. We ordered a couple of refreshing $3.50 Iced Cafe au Laits (Photo 9) and parked ourselves at a table close to the restroom. Wise move because it might as well have a revolving door for how often it was being used. We hung out for a surprisingly long time for tourists. Credit us for not buying any of their tempting baked goods like the pistachio financier. We had fried chicken in our imminent future. COFFEE - 4 stars...a fine cold brew AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...a lotta space SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly boho staff TOTAL - 4 stars...wake me up before you mojo RELATED - Exploring New Orleans?
