I was wondering around the WB with Re and she suggested we go "to the candy store." I was confused…read morebecause it was already after 8pm and what would be open? Royal Roastery that's who! This unassuming spot in a strip mall was gorgeous inside. And it serves coffee, pastries, ice cream plus y'know candy. AND they roast their own nuts, spices and I guess coffee beans. There were definitely folks hanging out and enjoying a Turkish style coffee... I guess either the caffeine doesn't hit them the way it does me or they had no plans to sleep. The candy isn't labeled 100% correctly but you kind of know that gummy worms are not gummy strawberries. I tried an assortment bag of gummies and some of chocolates and the price was by the pound. Re got some freshly roasted unsalted cashews and they were delicious! Parking is easy in the strip mall lot. And as you step in you definitely leave Louisiana and step into another country.

Royal Roastery is a bit of a mixed bag. They've got some savory nut options- I tried the barbecue…read morecashews. They were fine. They also carry some gummy and chocolate varieties, some spices, some boxed coffee, some Middle Eastern pastries. Only some things were labeled with either what it was or the price of it, so that was a little disorienting. I was surprised to find a cafe and gelato bar inside. The gelato flavors were incredible. I settled on popcorn caramel and baklava in a waffle bowl. An employee said that everything was made in-house. The price was standard considering that all was made there. The service was weird. I kept getting served after people who'd gotten there after me. My ice cream scoops were significantly smaller than my boyfriend's. Returning isn't high on my list of priorities, but I'm glad I tried them.

I walked in and the place wasn't crowded (probably due to the rain that day), but I was able to place my order quickly. I received my snack and drink quickly and sat. If you are looking to visit to read or study or do work, I do recommend you bring noise canceling headphones if sounds distract you. I get distracted The ceiling is high so noise is amplified, especially once other patrons occupy the space. But I enjoyed my time here. I was able to block out everything and get a nice amount of chapters covered. The tart was really good. Very toasty and flaky and the right amount of lemon. The honey tahini is my go-to beverage here, and it was delicious as always. This is a nice little neighborhood cafe!

Overall this is a nice spot to get your caffeine intake needs taken care of nicely.

Mojo has just become my new favorite coffee shop in New Orleans…read more I stopped in during Mardi Gras looking for some respite from the festivities. The calm, soothing atmosphere was most welcome, and I immediately felt at home. I ordered a simple latte, and when I declined any sort of flavoring or sweetener, the barista chose a nice light Ethiopian roast on the assumption that I wanted to savor the coffee bean flavors. He was right, and this was one of the best coffees I've had on this side of the Atlantic.

I had the king cake latte which was delicious, not too sweet, and the espresso was so good! They have a variety of offerings, house made syrups, and lots of little pastries, chia pudding/overnight oats options, and full breakfast like avocado toast. Already craving that king cake latte again!

Coast Roast has the best iced coffee I have ever had in 63 years!…read more It's not a bargain, at over $6 for a large 24 oz one. But, it is the only iced coffee that I dream about! Seriously. I get one every time I am in the neighborhood. Lots of on-street parking and the service and ambiance of St. Roch Market is phenomenal. Highly recommended.

The breadwinner (or maybe brew-winner, idk if I'm feeling it) for best cold brew coffee I have ever…read morehad, and probably will ever have! Still can't quite believe it, just how truly good this coffee was. Don't look to get anything else besides the vanilla cream cold brew, or you will miss out on the experience of a lifetime. Seriously, even if you aren't a sweet fan (I don't like super sweet coffee), this cold brew is so exquisite that it is sweet, yes, but in the way where it perfectly compliments your tastebuds with some sugary vanilla without going over the top, still letting the espresso take the spotlight. Even just the presentation of the dark roast coffee with the cream slowly dispersing into the deeps is so mesmerizing (see video/ pics if not understanding). One person in my party in specific had been to Coast Roast dozens of times before just to have this cold brew. He said anytime they return to New Orlaeans this is a must stop and they will bc one at least once a day every day they are in town. I didn't think there was any chance a coffee could stand up to hype like that. Also, I don't typically like cold brew anyways, so I was pretty unconvinced. Let me be the first to admit I was WRONG. I took one sip and was transported to a land of soft, billowing clouds, pink skies and coffee waterfalls (cold brew, specifically). Wow. I have dreamt of this coffee at least every week since I have been and the daydreams will continue until I can come back. It looks like I'll be stopping there every chance I get too, from now on.

Their lemonade is also top-tier: super refreshing, perfectly tart, and not overly sweet. It's my go-to drink, especially on a hot day. But beyond the food and drinks, it's the vibe of Hey Cafe that keeps me coming back. The place has this effortlessly cool, laid-back energy that feels so New Orleans. Whether I'm grabbing something to go or hanging out for a bit, it always feels welcoming. Great staff, great music, and the kind of place that feels like a neighborhood secret--though it deserves all the love. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

***DoorDash order***…read more My hot chai latte with their house made chai syrup and oat milk was perfect. Not too sweet, not too watery. I appreciated the care they took to pack the drink, too. The label covered the top and the sipper was taped over for safety. The gooey brownie bites with an infusion of cold brew were also very yummy. They, too, were packaged to prioritize food safety within a sealed plastic container. I really appreciated that. After such a successful delivery order, I'm keen to check out the in-person experience.

It was pretty busy when I stopped by but the staff were great at staying on top of taking orders and getting drinks and snacks to customers. They had a decent size indoor space. They also have a large outdoor patio area and cute porch searing overlooking Magazine Street. Dog friendly. Seems like a good space for work or just chilling on the porch like I did.
