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.

GREAT BEIGNETS!!! Regular and mini! Love it…read more This is an excellent spot for two awesome things - cafe au laits of multiple kinds (my favorite coffee drink!) and beignets, also with multiple options. I will have to come back and try the spiked cafe au lait, since I was alcoholed-out at the time... They also have coffee with chicory. Tastefully decorated, cozy interior. A chill place to hang out with friends or kids, study, type, read, and enjoy delicious eating and drinking. Simple pricing - $3/4/5. Plenty of places to charge devices. Fancy restrooms. Friendly staff working really hard. We went back to order seconds and she said it happens a lot. Five stars all around. I would be a regular if I lived in the neighborhood.

If you have time for just one coffee shop in New Orleans while strolling through the Garden…read moreDistrict or Uptown, make it this one. The coffee house is the perfect match of New Orleans aesthetics and flavors. Starting with the architecture, it's housed in one of the many ornate double shotgun homes that line Magazine street. It leans into the historic aesthetic, with chandeliers, brick fireplaces, deep colors, and lots of hard wood, appearing like a quiet study or library. Be forewarned, this place can get rather busy, mostly with students studying and working. I found everyone to be respectful of the quietness of the space. On a visit at 2:00pm every interior table was full (approximately 25 tables). Hot Tip: There is a door leading to the back that states "espresso garden". We landed there, where there were 6 additional seating tables outside in a very nice space. The coffee offerings were excellent and curated. Respectful to New Orleans they use chicory in their coffee ; I am happy to have this familiar flavor but some may find it strong or bitter. I got the Tiramisu Cold Brew and the cream cut the bitterness significantly. I also ordered a savory pastry (the shroom boom) which had a crispy, flaky crust and tasted fresh. There are other coffee shops in the area; most feel very standard or corporate and don't have the richness that this location offers.

I had an awesome experience at trumpet and drum coffee house. The vibes were awesome! And the…read morecoffee was pretty good as well. I loved the interior and exterior of this shop. I had an awesome time sitting outside - they had both a front patio and a small seating area in the back of the shop. The furniture was pretty nice and comfortable. The interior had a great vibe too - I loved the overall layout and decoration. The coffee was pretty good. It was a little bit expensive, but it was pretty darn good. I got a cappuccino, it had nice rich flavor without being too intense. Service was good, it took a little bit to get our coffee, but was happy to sit outside while we waited. It was a little busy when I went, but not too bad for a weekend. Definitely would recommend & will be back

***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.

Enjoyed the sweet cream cold brew. They also have a protein coffee I have to go back and try…read more Friendly, efficient staff. 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.

Undergrowth Coffee is right next door to Ms. Mae's 24/7 dive bar. The only time I've visited…read moreUndergrowth Coffee is when I'm finishing a lovely brunch of beer at Ms. Mae's after staying up all night. So once the bright morning light is really getting intense you can stroll out of Ms. Mae's and head right into Undergrowth Coffee where they also have food but I've never gotten the food but I do get the coffee and they do have some good coffee here. So after a long nights work and some fun at Ms. Mae's it is a great thing to have a nice hot cup of coffee to chase down the Ms. Mae's breakfast beers to energize you for the walk home.

I'm confused about this place. Was thrilled to see them open up. The building is gorgeous and had…read morebeen standing empty for years, ever since the demise of CC's. The first drink I tried was excellent--a pumpkin spice latte with coconut or oat milk, I don't remember. The spices were on point and it was nice and frothy and perfectly sweet. It was also decaf and didn't even taste like it. The second drink I got, just last week, was a decaf pistachio and it was honestly horrendous. Worst cafe coffee I've bought in many a moon--and it was over 7 dollars for a small! It was burnt... noticeably so. Maybe no one buys enough decaf to warrant a fresh pot more than once a day, but please, for the love of God, don't serve it if the carbon has reached these levels. I couldn't even drink it. I took two sips and chucked it. Hopefully they'll eventually convince me, because it's such a cute spot and so close to home, but as of now I'm still luke warm about it.

Lower Coast Coffee completely won me over. I originally heard about it on TikTok, and somehow this…read moreplace single-handedly turned me into a coffee drinker. The service was always great and super timely, even during the Mardi Gras rush. The staff kept things moving while still being friendly, which I really appreciated. The shop itself has such a cool aesthetic--clean, inviting, and just a vibe. It's the kind of place you actually want to hang out in. I love that they have their coffee available for purchase, plus really cute merch (still regret not grabbing a shirt). It feels like a brand you want to support. We got large Mardi Gras lattes and they literally tasted like king cake in a cup. Sweet, festive, and perfect. I loved every bit of it--and honestly, I went back multiple times during Mardi Gras. It was the only thing that got me going in the mornings. 10/10, will absolutely keep coming back.

First of all, this is a cash only business so come prepared…read more Secondly, please do not expect lightning fast service. To say this place is "busy" is an understatement. Finally, if you're in NOLA, it's a must. Their beignets are the absolute best in the city. We came on a Monday. We saw the crowd over jazz fest weekend and it's a mob scene. We got a table pretty quickly and were served within a few minutes. Beignets and frozen cafe au lait are amazing!! I'm so glad we waited for a lull in the crowd as it was definitely worth the wait!!

Surprisingly I wasn't very impressed with this place…read moreProbably known as the #1 place to try beignets in NOLA I actually preferred a different place So the atmosphere is buzzing as it's full of tourists and right in the French market I just didn't care for the taste and too much powered sugar for me that's just messy and overpriced The chicory coffee was not also my thing I'm glad I visited but would skip next time It's gets pretty crowded and there can wait times in lines

I would say the price points are great. Our total came out to 312.30 including tip for 11 entrees, six hot beverages, and one appetizer. The food was well seasoned and the portion sizes were decent. We all got an ample amount of injera to accompany our food. The food did take a while to come out, but there were so many of us, and it's a small restaurant with a small staff. The owner took our order, prepared the food, and closed us out. I thought it was interesting that we weren't asked what sides we wanted. Everyone ended up with something different. That made it fun!
