Not uptown. Not downtown. Backatown! This coffee parlour is EVERYTHING. I regret not coming hungry because their food looked and smelled amazing. That being said, I got their iced miel latte and it was delicious. They have a rewards program for their regulars, and I intend to become one. The staff are friendly and craft the coffees with care to ensure perfection. The space magnificent. They have a lot of options from big comfy couches, to intimate tables, and a lovely large table where patrons appeared to be working on their laptops. They have a take one leave one bookshelf and a lot of beautiful artwork. Can't wait to come back and try the food soon!!

Cranberry & Cream Cheese Scone
Meagan L.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in the city. It's a convenient location, and the staff is friendly no matter what's going on. I usually get an iced or hot mocha latte and the coffee is always smooth. Even when it's delivered, the temps are perfect. I can't skip the snacks here! The crawfish melt is my go-to, along with the cranberry cream cheese scone. I've enjoyed the sweet potato scone, too, and the muffins. The turkey and egg sandwich is a regular brunch choice. I tried the raspberry grilled cheese but it was too much of the sweet raspy jam for me. Sometimes they run out of items, but they're always great with substituting. If it's a quiet day downtown, I'll sit and read it people watch. The distressed couch is a lot more comfy than it looks.

One word: PERFECTO It is the CUTEST, most welcoming coffee shop I have been to in a long time. It displays local art and embodies the NOLA culture. This was my first time coming to this coffee shop while visiting. It was my husband, mom, aunts and me. We ordered 3 small king cake lattes, a vanilla cortado and crawfish quiche. Each drink and the quiche was made with love. I wish I could remember the man's name that helped us. He was patient with us and really helped us find the best drink for our palettes. There is a "lounge area" with couches that allows for you to get comfy while you enjoy your drinks and food. On the table in the lounging area, there are chit chat cards that encourage some fun dialogue. There is a station that offers patrons to grab free books and to leave books. The music is very soothing and allows for studying, reading and conversation. Another spot for our "must go" NOLA list.

Last stop before heading off to the airport, I had to get some work done before I take off so I found a low key coffee shop to sit at and partake in some pastries while I drained their wifi. Great location, close to the hustle and bustle of the city. Plenty of space inside with the option of outdoor seating as well. The decor inside is very reminiscent of the entire city, very jazz influenced. Has paintings and murals inside, very easy on the eyes. Service was on point, the cashier was pleasant and made my cappuccino well. I placed my food order and received it shortly after. Seems like there were only two people working and they had a brunch party inside but they were extremely accommodating. I had the crawfish quiche with my cappuccino, it was very good. I love seafood and never had crawfish in my quiche so it was a delight to try and taste great. When I come back to the city I want to try their crawfish melt!

This place is a hidden gem in that isn't so hidden anymore. I got the Raspberry Grilled cheese and let me tell. It was definitely different, but it was good. I created a Carmel drink of some sort, but it was delicious.... My hubby had the Vietnamese Coffee and it was great too. The service was pretty fast and the ambiance is vibe. This is the perfect spot to conduct business or if you need a coffee shop to do some work. Check them out.

I've been following this shop on social media for a couple of years and finally decided to walk down (our vacation club property is a few blocks away) for a visit. My family and I were in town for the 51st Bayou Classic - fun times. The shop is very nice and quaint. Our drinks and pastries were delicious! My husband had a macchiato, daughter had a cranberry cream cheese scone with a seasonal specialty bev and I had a miel latte. I was not disappointed at all. I'm definitely visiting again.

Jasmine Loose Leaf Tea and Black Tea

Things I love about Backatown: It's Black owned The service The high ceilings, square tables, and cozy chairs The sweet potato pie The hot tea options The sandwich menu The lotion in the bathroom and the fact that there are two restrooms!

Crawfish quiche
Paul H.

Nice and spacious cafe spot close to the French Quarter with Free-Wi Fi. The space itself was decorated like a cool loft with local art on the walls. Offerings include various coffee and teas, pastries, quiche, soups, sandwiches, etc.. Of note, the crawfish quiche, although small fist sized portion, was really good. Could imagine eating a few pie sized slices if it was served that way. Make sure to top the quiche off with the green hot sauce ! There were a few other items that also sounded good; sweet potato scone, raspberry grilled cheese and the shrimp and corn bisque. Will be in town for a few days and may have to slide back through

Crawfish Quiche & melt.  So so good!
Bacong F.

We took a stroll here for coffee and ended up ordering the crawfish melt and quiche as well. It was amazing! Highly recommend this place to break away from the canal st and French quarter tourist crowd. The place has plenty of sitting area to hang out.

Turkey, egg, and cheese croissant
Tara C.

Sooooo good! We loved this place so much we visited twice during our trip. The service was excellent and the coffee and food top notch. I got the turkey, egg and cheese on a croissant and a hot Americano. Hubby got a frappe and some of their tasty treats. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere immensely and it was waaaaaaay better than St*rbucks. Will miss this gem when I go home.

Good coffee & service, nice large place to spread out and relax. I love the extensive menu and the sandwich saw them making looks delicious. I had the Vietnamese coffee, the strawberry banana smoothie was good and so was the blueberry muffin that they warmed up.

After 25 minute we realized they forgot our breakfast sandwiches. They don't wear gloves when touching food and after handling cash.

I hear they're moving to a larger place which they have earned. When I first met the couple after they just opened this joint I was impressed with their leap of faith to create this place. The interior is an Alice in Wonderland full of whimsy, interesting art and beautifully designed decor that screams fun. Just like on my first JazzFest in 1987 an elderly man with one tooth in his mouth ambled up to me and said "if you can't have fun in New Orleans, you ain't got a pulse" My friend and I ordered the following Gris Gris with espresso: gris gris banana brown sugar gelato, praline rum ball, brûléed banana, caramel rum drizzle, cinnamon dust, espresso boozy version option: spiced rum evo drizzle option: koroneiki It was delicious and was a perfect ending after we had a great meal. I look forward to their move to their new location which I heard will have an event space. All the best to Drip and the Drippetts.

We went all in: shrimp and grits that were downright phenomenal (I'm still thinking about them), a goat cheese omelette that was so good it made me question all my past breakfast decisions, and pancakes with berries that tasted like they were made by someone who genuinely cares about your happiness. The coffee? Strong enough to fix your life. The service? Warm, attentive, and somehow psychic--they just knew when we needed refills or another mimosa (which, for the record, felt less like a drink and more like a lifestyle choice). Honestly, this place doesn't just serve breakfast--it gives you a reason to get out of bed. 10/10 would wake up early again... and I do not say that lightly.

Our goal every year is to find somewhere new, and Cafe FDL definitely fit the bill this year. There is quaint seating on the first and second floor, and it feels like there's not going to be enough room, but the wait isn't bad. The service was quick and attentive, and the food was hot and filling. The alcohol was... alcohol. What's there to say about that? Price wise, it was reasonable, and it was filling enough that I wasn't hungry when I left, nor was I ill-prepared for any shenanigans that the say might bring. Definitely a solid choice for breakfast in the Quarter. Not fancy, but filling!

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!

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.
