Chocolate muffin

OMG. This was a great find!! Fresh craft coffee (not sure if this is a thing but I am going o make it one; teas with houseade syrup and several sandwich options. This checked all the he boxes on our way to Jazz fest. Off Bayou Street, it's a great neighborhood coffee shop that you should check out

Day 2 of NOLA Coffee Crawl: Off the beaten path...thankfully the sign on Esplanade directed me to caffeine goodness. Basic latte flavors- would like an expanded menu. Colorful staff that cater to specific preferences (both latte and sexual). Great ambiance and secluded location that will be my go-to once the pandemic is overish.

Survivor's Catering burrito  amazing as always!

Friendly staff and owner, yummy oat milk chai lattes, and the best burritos by Survivor's Catering. The grilled chicken, egg, and cheese is my new favorite! They toast them nice and crispy. Golden brown. Old Road Coffee is spacious and has ample seating with lots of wall outlets. The music is not too loud, so I get lots of work done. They even have dog treats and water out for the doggies. Wish they stayed open longer!

Wow, great find. Had just rolled into town and in need of coffee and something to eat. I know there are lots of places I can go in NOLA for a good latte but if you're a little hungry too this is a good place for a super quick unfussy bite. Grab & go refrigerator has an adequate number of healthy options to please most palates. Our super friendly barista warmed up our veggie breakfast burrito and it tasted as fresh as if it had just been made. And, have I mentioned how good our coffees were? Great space with different areas: counter seating, tables, cozy couches. Small used book sales as well. And have I mentioned how cool and friendly the baristas are? Went twice and all baristas were equally great.

ORC is one more example of how NOLA is transforming into "Seattle of the South", when it comes to great neighborhood coffee shops. I don't frequent this stretch of Esplanade, so while passing through on our way to Floats in the Oaks, and in need of a coffee, I was pleased to see the sign on Esplanade directing me a half block downriver on N Johnson Street. Lovely shop, with a very friendly shopkeeper/barista. Great space. Great vibe. Plenty of room to socially distance. Masks required, of course. Hand sanitizer available. Decided on a hot mocha latte on this chilly afternoon. Great drink, with the proper amount of Ghirardelli chocolate to keep it from being too sweet. I'll be back!

Bean egg and cheese burrito

I had a great experience here. The barista was very friendly and helpful. I got a matcha latte and yummy breakfast burrito. They are able to heat up the food for you which is a plus. I loved the space. There are tons of places to sit and do work. They also have tables outside to enjoy your coffee. I can't wait to come here again.

burrito by survivors catering, coffee by old road!
Alvin D.

super helpful! these folks are really nice and were pretty open to us asking to reserve part of the interior room for a group meeting we were having. otherwise it's a convenient spot and stays open a little later than other options in the area as well. in addition to the drinks, i'm a fan of the giant breakfast burritos they have (I think it's by a different vendor/supplier), but it does the trick if you're looking for something a bit more substantial.

Very very pretty and tasty oatmilk latte. Yum :)

Happy Birthday To Me, right. I found it to be a quaint neighborhood cafe with hours from 7am - 3pm; perfect cafe hours. As I approached the cashier, I noticed a middle aged lady with bright fiery red hair... I just knew from her vibrant appearance, she'd be bubbly, BUT she wasn't. Lol. I notice a French accent, which was quite a surprise, there was no mention of such in any of the reviews I read. I ordered a croissant sandwich because from a picture that I saw online, it looked to be a generous size & quite scrumptious. Much to my dismay, while tasty, it was much, much smaller than its online appearance. The food was delivered to me, which was quite pleasant & unexpected. I ordered a latte with Oat Milk as my tummy won't tolerate the cow's milk. Moooooo. Lol. I like the quaint feel indoors and to note, there's an outdoor patio to offset the intimate interior. On this morning, it was a bit too cold to sit outside and I'd like to say I'll return, but that's a lie. The reason you ask, well I didn't feel welcomed upon my entrance. When ordering my sandwich, the red haired cashier got snippy with me after I asked a question by saying "if you don't see it on the menu, we don't have it"... I was like hmmmmmm ok. It was my bday, so I was in the BEST of spirits & mood, maybe RED woke up on the wrong side of "le lit", which is bed in French . Definitely not something I want to be part of my BIRTHDAY EXPERIENCE, so I'm penning this review and erasing it from my mind. If you find a parking spot, grab it because as stated, it's in a neighborhood, so parking is limited. $9.30 for a small breakfast sandwich is a bit much, so bring extra coins if you come, you'll need it. And pack an extra smile, in case you don't get one from RED.

The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, both about books and the coffee. Every single coffee drink I've tried is absolutely outstanding. My favorite so far is If Beale Street Could Talk, a cayenne-infused mocha. It is spicy, smoky and delicious. The bookstore is lovely, too. They have plenty of events, and there are always at least a few crowds hanging around. Their selection is lovely and I always find a few new books to read. Beautiful outdoor patio, plus they have a small recording studio for podcasts (I think) and a bunch of tables, games, puzzles, etc. I love this spot! I think about their drinks all the time

James Baldwin was known as "God's Black revolutionary mouth" and is also the forever #1 guest on my…read moredead or alive party list. This bookstore is a true community spot. When we visited, it was crowded, but there was an event going on outside. Additionally, groups were there to meet and have coffee and chat. They have a coffee bar that appears to be well appointed. The book selection is wonderful. So many James Baldwin titles, including some you don't see regularly. They do online orders, so if you are looking for Baldwin books or books on Black history/social justice, consider buying from this Black owned business instead of Amazon. They also have a beautiful air bnb for rent. As mentioned in other reviews, this is in the Marigny/Bywater neighborhood and can be made part of a full day of activities, including JamNola and Allways Lounge and great restaurants.

The coffee is freshly roasted and the food options are fantastic. They have everything from pastries, muffins, and bread pudding to some really great savory items. My personal favorites are the kolaches--they're always fresh and so delicious. There are great options like spinach feta, cheesesteak, and crawfish, so there's always something new to try. The atmosphere is so welcoming and relaxed, making it a great spot to settle in with a laptop or meet up. The staff is always friendly, and the whole place has a really positive community feel. What makes this spot even more special is its mission--proceeds support a recovery program, which adds a meaningful layer to the experience. Love supporting our community. Great coffee, great food, and a great purpose behind it all. Definitely a local favorite and a place I'm always happy to visit. you should add to your list too.

What I got: Kaya bun (10/5) -- no sweetness whatsoever, just pure coconut pandan flavor coming through. Custard had the perfect consistency--thick, creamy, and has a slight egginess that, if you are familiar with dan taat, will appreciate--and did not leech any moisture into the pastry. Also love the choice of coating in dessicated coconut since it again did not add any sweetness and the fineness melted in your mouth with each bite. Pastry itself was buttery and tender with a slight chew crawssant (5/5) -- a seasonal item of twice baked croissant filled with crawfish and mozzarella. Buttery, flaky, gooey with a kiss of heat...it was fun and satisfying to eat not to mention filling. Surely, I will return to pick up some pastries for my loved ones back home.
