    I am staying at the Holiday Inn and was looking for a coffee shop near me. I noticed this little shop that had great reviews so decided to give it a try. WOW awesome coffee!! Very high quality coffee. I am very happy to have found this coffee shop. I just bought coffee here, but tomorrow I may try some of their pastries. They look delicious. The owner was very friendly and courteous. I will be back tomorrow. Thank you for the awesome coffee!

    Crescent Counter is a great little coffee shop connected to the hotel. I've been here two days in a row and enjoyed it both times. The first day I ordered a hot caramel latte, which was smooth and really well made. The second day I had the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant--super buttery and flaky, with perfectly seasoned eggs. I also tried a vanilla coffee with milk, and the vanilla syrup had an almost cinnamony flavor that was unexpected and delicious. Definitely a convenient and tasty stop for breakfast or a coffee break.

    Crescent Counter has moved one block down the street inside the Wyndham Garden Hotel. The ambiance is just as quaint as the last one. This space however feels more vibrant. And the coffee and menu consistently amazing. The owners tell me they have been attempting to claim the business on Yelp to update the address but are running into issues with Yelp.

    This is a really cute spot! There is some bar seating for while you wait for your drinks. The coffee and tea were both good, didn't try the pastries but they looked good. The only bummer was it took quite a long time to get our two to go lattes after ordering (30 minutes) and we were expecting a quicker turnaround, so probably not the best place to come if you are in a hurry. Didn't feel as though the quality was worth the wait for me.

    I found this place on my last morning in NOLA and boy do I wish I'd found it sooner. The interior of the shop is super cute and has plenty of bar style seating for taking a quick call or finishing up that last minute report while having your coffee. I got a cafe au lait, egg and cheese and spinach frittata, almond croissant and a homemade limeade. Everything was FANTASTIC. I literally wanted to return and have 4 more of the croissants because they were so good. They make all the pastries in house and the juices are made that morning. This is the type of coffee shop/community space that I had in walking distance in my own neighborhood in Philly. Definitely bookmarking as my go to spot the next time I come back to NOLA.

    EXCELLENT customer service and suggestions. The coffee was bold and the flavors were perfect.

    Great gourmet coffee and food. They make everything, so it's quality. Nice people and service. Clean atmosphere.

    Amazing fresh pastries

    We literally stumbled on this hidden gem while visiting NOLA for a long weekend. Unless you walk by or look it up, you won't see it. It's attached next door to a hotel but the sign is flush on the outside wall. We took a chance based on the Yelp reviews and were so happy we did. It's small inside but very clean and simple. It's a coffee shop buy so much more. It appears everything is made early that morning and they do run out. Only about 10 single seat inside so it appears most take it to go. Here's the kicker! It's not expensive. Their prices were very reasonable. We ordered to coffees and the sausage & cheese roll, blueberry biscuit and the almond croissant. OH MY every bite was pure heaven. We sat down to eat them and let's start with that super flaky blueberry biscuit. Just a hint of sweetness and a glaze that made it scrumptious. The croissant was also flaky and incredibly delicious. The crown jewel was that sausage and cheese roll. Not sure what type of sausage it was but it was the best I've ever had. We ate breakfast for 1/2 of any other restaurant and enjoyed it so much....we came back the next morning.

    Came in for a cappuccino one morning and it was amazing! Everyone here is so friendly and it's a very cute and clean shop that opens early at 7am. I didn't get a pastry but they looked amazing in the little window. They have amazing looking peach croissants when I stopped by. I enjoyed my coffee at the counter and it looked like a lot of regulars coke by in the morning.

    I asked the barista how long it took them to perfect their cappuccino. They said with a smile "it's not perfected" ...and that's some humility because, daayyuum. Crescent Counter makes their pastries in-house and provides a delightful atmosphere, great playlist, and serves local beans from woman owned and operated business. I may have never come here if I didn't happen to be walking nearby and in need of a coffee post Mardi Gras madness (since I already have my go-to's). But, this place has become top 3 for me!

    It's funny, you tell just about anyone you're going to New Orleans and almost always the first…read moreplace they bring up is Cafe Du Monde. I'd literally been told I had to go here so many times that by the time I landed in New Orleans, I pretty much made a beeline straight for this legendary cafe. This cafe is located right outside Jackson Square right off the waterfront. They are open late, as they close at either 11p or 12am every day. When we went in the middle of the afternoon, the place was very busy as it was hard to find a table in their outside patio, so we settled for a table in the indoor section(A/C SCORE!!). The ground was littered with powdered sugar as customers like myself don't always understand how to eat these beignets without making a big mess. The beignets themselves were pretty inexpensive as they cost only $4.53 for a 3-pack. I also got a large frozen coffee for $7.70. The beignets were delivered to our table very fast and very warm. The movie "Chef" says you only get your first bite of your first beignet from Cafe Du Monde once in your life and to cherish the moment and I do truly understand what they meant with that quote. These beignets were so great and that first bite with the powdered sugar explosion was so amazing-I really enjoyed the recklessness of having a beignet at Cafe Du Monde. Overall, I feel that anyone who visits New Orleans has to find their way to this legendary cafe and enjoy this dish that has been served since 1862. A really great bite!.

    I really wanted to understand the hype around Cafe Du Monde, but unfortunately, this was a huge…read moredisappointment. The beignets were dry and lacked flavor, and instead of a nice dusting of powdered sugar, there were huge clumps of it piled on top. Powdered sugar can't make up for a dry beignet. The coffee wasn't any better. It had a strong burnt taste that made it difficult to enjoy. I understand Cafe Du Monde is an iconic New Orleans stop with tons of history, but based on the food and coffee alone, I just don't understand the hype. There are much better beignets in New Orleans. Service was average very touristy Overrated, disappointing, and definitely a one-and-done for me. I wouldn't return.

We hadn't…read morebeen to CC in about 13 years, but we remember how good it had been in the past and wanted to sneak in a visit while we had a chance. We were not disappointed! We ended up at the Metairie location, which ended up being very convenient since there is substantial parking right out front, which is rare in N.O. It's in a modern shopping center but still has that quaint feel of the original location. The staff immediately greeted us when we came through the door and were very attentive and knowledgeable. We were there just before the after school rush and timed everything perfectly. I was planning to get a different flavor this time, but I ended up with my old standby, Red Velvet. This stuff is so good it's illegal in 49 states. It's subtle and perfectly understated by the chunks of cake mixed throughout. It's what keeps me coming back. My wife got a scoop each of the Peanut Butter Cup and the Cookie Monster. Both were absolutely delicious, as I can personally attest since I stole a bite of both. All in all, I can't wait to go back. It was every bit as good as I remembered. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

Our first day back out there, fortunately, the line wasn't too long so I got some plain beignets, a crab beignet and some sweet potato cookies. First thing I ate was the crab beignet. WOW! I'm not the biggest fan of crab but that thing with that sauce...!! Lived up to the hype. I love candied yams and sweet potato pie so I had to try those cookies. Also amazing! Huge. Texture was perfect. Dang!! Now, the beignets. Did I like them more than Cafe Du Monde's? Hands down! Si! Oui! Nai! YES!!!!!!!!!! From the first bite! Dang!!! I still have to try Cafe Beignet's beignets. But Loretta's is gonna be a tough act to follow. I will never come out there and not go to Loretta's. Will someday make a trip to the location at North Rampart Street. And the service...! The young man who took our order was so nice. There was a bit of a wait (just a few minutes. Totally worth it!) but there's seating right across from Loretta's stand. My next visit, I'm bringing some zip lock bags and/or Tupperware cos I'm bringing some Loretta's back home with me. Dang!

One of the customers suggested having the line routed through the inside of the covered market, which was an amazing idea. So I walked to the front of the line and asked the cashier if she would be able to reroute us so we wouldn't all get soaking wet. She was the only person working up front and taking orders, but she was pleasant and kind and said sure. After she finished taking the order she was working on, she came from around the counter and rerouted the line so we could all get out of the rain. After that, the line seemed to move a little quicker too. I'd say we waited about 30 minutes, maybe even 25. We knew what we wanted because we were able to see the menu while we were waiting, but there are no prices listed, so you are a little shocked when you get to the register. I believe one crab beignet was between $8 and $9. I ended up spending about $40 total on two orders of traditional beignets, one crab beignet, a sweet potato cookie, and one order of praline beignets. The traditional and the praline come with three each, but the crab only comes with one. I posted one of my receipts below. Can't seem to find the receipt from my larger order. Now let's get to the taste.... they were amazing! Yes, when you go, try the crab and try the praline. I probably would not buy the traditional beignets again because they are significantly smaller than the Café du Monde beignets, and the taste is not drastically different. So you're paying more and getting less for pretty much the same product. But I would absolutely go back for the crab, the praline, and some of the other items she has. My cousin also had the beignet burger, which she said was great. All in all, it was a great experience. I just wish the beignets were a little bigger and the prices were a little lower, but with the cost of everything going up, I do understand. There's not much of an ambiance because you're pretty much sitting in a covered market. Birds are flying around, tourists are walking through looking at the different kiosks, and there's a lot going on around you. But they made the beignets to order, brought them out really fast, and there was a guy walking around wiping the tables after each person got up because, of course, there was powdered sugar EVERYWHERE. Lol.
