    My local coffee shop! When I'm in the mood for some fresh coffee and don't feel like brewing it myself this is where I like to go! This location is always busy and is a popular spot for a caffeine fix, especially for people in the Algiers Point Area. It's a great place to work, hang out, or just get some stuff to go. I've done the latter two, and will soon be trying the first option. I like to bring my own coffee cup (reuse!) and get it filled with fresh black coffee. Sometimes if I'm peckish, I'll select a treat from their amazing bakery items. And they really are that good! The cookies and the pastries are absolutely worth it! Drinks: Lots of Caffeine options! Parking: Street parking. Outdoor Seating: There are a few places to sit outside. Dog Friendly: Absolutely!

    Large at another local shop for the same price as the "large" at congregation.... Make it make sense

    Not sure where to start.... It's sad because it's the only coffee shop in the point but I only go if I am completely out of coffee at home. Their sizes are bonkers. The "large" is a small at every other coffee shop, but they'll charge you the same price. They constantly mess up orders (it's happened to me only once but I see it so much it's wild). Slow as molasses. Really nice baristas and atmosphere, just lacking in a lot of ways....

    It's a shame they dont have more milk options!! The staff were kind of standoffish but I get people have bad days, but it got to a point where they forgot to even put in my order and I had to ask them if they even had it and show my receipt. Ended up paying $16 for 2 hot lattes which is outrageous. I added a tip of course but I kind of regret it. Coffee was good I guess.

    Took the easy ferry across Algiers Point to visit congregation and buy some of their beans and merch. The cortado and English muffin had me wishing this was my daily stop.

    Congregation Coffee Roasters, a Brennan family coffee roaster, features a variety of coffee beans and ground coffee guaranteed to appeal to coffee enthusiasts. After trying the chicory blend featured at Brennan's restaurant, we decided to take the ferry to Algiers to buy whole beans (the restaurant has ground coffee to purchase). Well worth the journey across the Mississippi to stop in at this local coffee gem. A lovely local coffee spot with beautiful art work and friendly staff members. Super delightfully casual establishment. A great place for a cuppa coffee! wish I lived in Algiers- I'd become a regular!

    Great pistachio latte, you need to give it a try. New restaurant worth the try uptown

    We took the ferry to get to Congregation and it was a nice walk. I have been wanting to come back here because they have yummy pastries and this vanilla tahini latte that's incredible. They also used to make Mister Mao chai mix and I really want a bag of it haha We grabbed yogurt parfait, quiche, ham and cheese tang a blueberry muffin.

    apparently very delicious

    The proof is in the pudding, or should I say coffee. Pal friend Patty and I thought we would venture away from our regular spot after passing Congregation a zillion times. Very cute, neighborhood coffee joint. I love the vibe. We decided on breakfast sandwiches and our perspective coffee choices. I ordp o

I was in New Orleans for the 2026 Jazz and Heritage Festival, so my mornings were my own. I travel alone and don't always look for reservations when planning on a meal in this city. Streetcar Café is a perfect choice for what I was looking for: ample breakfast choices, a full bar, and excellent service by Andres. I ordered two poached eggs ($3.50), a single pancake ($4.50), and hash brown potatoes ($4). Totally reasonable pricing, and excellent meals, topped with the Always Summer (Malibu rum, Triple sec, OJ, Pineapple juice, Grenadine, $13). The place filled up pretty quickly after I arrived at around 10 a.m. Andres did an outstanding job of keeping track of my order, and served up the menu items piping hot. Couldn't finish it all, but it was a best-choice for brunch this morning.

It was Taco Tuesday and a pop up night by the chef so we did not have the usual dinner menu. At first I was disappointed because I was not necessarily in the mood for Mexican and I had already decided on something from the menu online. We chose shrimp tacos and the brisket melt and decided to split them. We had our child with us so the option for her would be a cheese quesadilla. The food took a bit to come out - close to 40-45 minutes. When the food arrived our child had a veggie quesadilla instead of cheese. We could not wait the same amount of time for the correct order so we said we would feed her later. However the chef made one immediately. I appreciated the care they took with making the correction for us. Our food was fantastic! The tacos had a lot of shrimp and were so flavorful. The shrimp were also smaller so it made it easier to eat while ensuring shrimp in all the bites. I can't stand huge shrimp that fall out resulting in eating tortilla and garnish for the majority of bites. The brisket melt was so so good. My daughter (who can be limited in food repertoire) tried it and loved it. She then decided this was the best restaurant of our trip after those few bites. The ambiance is so cozy and warm. I loved the vibe and decor - almost like being in your Southern aunt's dining room. We will definitely plan to return when we head back to New Orleans to try the original menu or even another pop up if they have one.

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.
