The staff is also pretty nice and helpful if you had any questions. The only reason why I'm giving them four stars is because there are no outlets available if you had to charge your laptop or cell phone which is a bit of a hassle since most people usually use electronics for their studying. Other than that, this is still a solid Barnes and Noble in the Westbank area.

I actually visited here because I found out they actually had the JUST egg bagel which I had been looking for all over the country. Imagine my surprise when I found out it was in Harvey, LA of all places. The establishment was also very big, clean, well lit, and had a great ambiance to it. The customer service was good as well and I look forward to visiting again when I am in the crescent city. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, my Friends!!

It is well organized, full of Thousands of books for $1 dollar (Not all books are one dollar, but more than half!). They also have DVDs, and kids books.There is a big shelf as soon as you walk in filled with the books that most kids have to read for their English classes, and most for $1. And then you are finished reading your books, you can donate them back to this facility and it goes to further the efforts of the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library.....win-win!! An added benefit for those who like to compost, Compost NOW accepts frozen compostable food scraps here from 12:30pm-2pm every Wednesday. Recycle some books, and recycle food waste.

We came across Crescent City Books while doing a walkabout in the French Quarter. With cocktails in hand, we strolled through CCB.

Overall, great experience.

They have cute ketch when you walk in and logo items for sale. I love how they have quick synopsis of some of the books on the outside. The second floor is my fav part. The fairy lights, coloring books, the sci-fi and the metaphysical stuff and round out the genres. Absolutely will be back.

There's a resident cat who wanders around saying hello, which just adds to the cozy, quirky atmosphere. The place has so much character -- books tucked into every corner and that perfect "organized chaos" vibe only the best secondhand shops manage to pull off. I could spend full days in here and still not see everything. Easily one of the best bookshops I've ever visited.

The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, both about books and the coffee. Every single coffee drink I've tried is absolutely outstanding.

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

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.
