There's no improving upon a neighborhood cafe this special. My pistachio iced latte was amazing. Fab pistachio flavor and it wasn't too sweet. Similarly my Vietnamese coffee, called cå phé sü då, was delicious and not too sweet. The cashier was perfectly sweet too. I'll take my coffee with a double shot of kindness any day. The pastries are great too. They catered our event across the street, which is how I got turned onto it. There's seating inside along with a comfortable neighborhood vibe and a couple of tables out front. Clearly a chill place to hang for whatever purpose. No matter where you live, you wish there was a place like this in your neighborhood. Yeah, all the Elite Yelpers who've reviewed it are a tipoff for certain. read more

This cafe is out of a watercolor painting. It is just adorable. The pastries are delicious and the macha was my first - I asked how the owner takes hers and she adds blackberry so I did the same. Literally one of the best things I've ever drank! And who would think to add blackberry but it's a must. Love, love, love. read more

This place was a godsend at the onset of the epidemic but he stayed open - with masks which is silly considering you are there to eat and drink with your mouth - and now the joint is pippin. It appeals to a particular age .. the everlasting all day long coffee with computer age. Lots of those boys and girls sitting in the most comfortable seats. But I don't think they're on their minds. Lol. The pastries are good but they look better than they are. I've heard some complaints about the pastries, but I think that Keylime pie is terrific. They also provide free baked bones for the dogs And Ive seen people come in and just take a bone without even buying anything the owner doesn't mind about that either. Satsuma was always the only game in town and it's still got great food and coffee but this place is nice for people down at this end near the railroad tracks. Just a little bit of almost elegance for the folks almost in Marigny. read more

This coffee shop is absolutely adorable and the service was excellent. They have different milk alternatives which is great for those who don't have dairy. The coffee was probably one of the better cups of coffee I had in the area. You can also buy pastries and for those trying to save a few pennies you can buy day old pastries which are equally as good. I had the day old ham and cheese croissant which was perfect and the almond croissant Fresh which was delicious. read more

I loved this place! What a fun, young, positive vibes kind of place! We were at a nearby thrift store and wanted an afternoon coffee. Yelp pointed us in this direction and I am glad that it did. I had a cold brew that tasted like real coffee! Yay! My hubs had the white peach tea that was the perfect amount of sweetness. Did I mention the cookies? Lawd have mercy! The ginger molasses cookie was the best cookie ever!! We were disappointed when they sold the last one while we were deciding to go back for seconds. Oh well- I snooze, I lose! Next time I will get more. Can we talk about the dogs? Cute dogs of all shapes and sizes came in with their friendly humans on a leash. Hunter told us hi and came to greet us at our table. I love dogs so I was content just to sit there and wait for the next canine to walk in. The owners were friendly and checked on us to make sure all was well. Forget the chain coffee shops that don't know what good coffee is or tastes like. Come here. It is worth it! read more

Hot and cold drinks made well, limited but well-chosen food options from local bakeries, a self serve cooler with very nice selections that will appeal to most palates and just a nice, chill comfortable atmosphere. Had the Berry pound cake, a Cappucino and a Quiche Lorraine that was CRAZY good. I wanted a second piece but restrained myself. Just. Service was provided by Emily who was EXCELLENT.

What an absolute new treasure...in the Bywater/Marigny on Royal Street. Cozy, comfortable ...warm and inviting. Opening the door, the aroma of freshly ground, brewing coffee caught my attention. Crawford Malone the owner, greeted me and made me feel welcomed. He answered all my questions regarding "each" enticing item. I wanted one of each! LOL I ordered the turkey, bacon, cheese, arugula lettuce with spicy Chipotle chutney on crunchy fresh ciabatta bread. The flavors were pefectly balanced... very filling and satifying....so delicious....really soooo delcious! The Croissant was Ooo La La ....closed my eyes and I was back in Paris. Perfection! My Cold Brew was smooth, rich with coffee flavor. Many selections to choose from....they grind and blend Petite Clouet Coffee. The coffee condiment bar had Agave syrup, simple syrup, several choices of milk products and other types of sugar/sugar substitutes. Everything in the cafe was absolutely top quality with affordable prices.

It's a place many tourist bureaus tell you to go and have a beignet or 10 with their own signature coffee. Their beignets are made fresh with a lot of excess powdered sugar on them. It's a definite place where friends are made and experiences are often shared with friends in the French Quarter. I've been here twice before but didn't file a Yelp review until this trip in 2026 October. The ambiance here can be wild and I can tell they do swift business here daily since it's so popular with the locals and the tourists. The seating area maxes capacity about maybe 50 people at any given time. You order from a window and it's cash only. There's an ATM nearby so be prepared to bring cash or your ATM card before ordering. The beignets are definitely made fresh and served 3 per order. Order enough and you'd have a party for one in your mouth while vacationing in New Orleans. Best bet would be to come early enough before the craziness swoops in. On my latest endeavor into the French Quarter, I arrived here around 12:45pm on a Tuesday afternoon and the tables had been overrun with tourists and locals alike, scrambling for the freshest beignets available that day. Maybe I got lucky, since I found an ATM nearby and withdrew $40 and bought enough beignets for a snack and possible dinner companions later in the day, since I had lunch already before walking over. No matter what your itinerary is in the French Quarter, make it a priority to come here on your trip to New Orleans. The overall experience here at Cafe Du Monde - French Market was crazy and a lot of turmoil due to the sheer size of the people who come here everyday. I managed to order my beignets (16), couple of cold sodas, and ordered it to go. While waiting for my order, I saw a bunch of people leave after dining in and another group seem to swoop in for their empty tables. I was surprised and mad at the same time. Oh well, must be tourists I guess. I ended up walking to the Caesar's Palace casino on the north end of the French Quarter and sat in their food court and enjoyed some of the beignets along with the sodas in tow. Cafe Du Monde is an open air restaurant and it has been here at the French Market for so many decades. This location is the first Cafe Du Monde location that ever opened up in New Orleans before it expanded into varying locations around town and even at the MSY airport - terminal B. It was nice to be here and order in a big amount of beignets for my own consumption. It's always cool to see a New Orleans institution thrive here and there's many tourists and locals who love beignets as much as the next person. For the most part though, Cafe Du Monde is a treasure and definitely a must do on your trip to New Orleans. Beignets are great but it's always a delicacy here in New Orleans. Do yourself a favor if you are craving some good and fresh beignets or just looking for an excuse to come back to New Orleans. Cafe Du Monde -French Market is located in New Orleans's French Quarter. It's physically located at 800 Decatur Street, New Orleans. They are cash only, as mentioned before. Bring cash beforehand or find an ATM nearby first. As far as parking goes, you'd be hard-pressed to find street parking, although there are some paid parking garages nearby, if you can look for them. There can be street parking though, but hard to come by on a random day. If you're a lover of public transportation, consider the right local bus routes to get here from your original destination. They'll be glad to have you but bring cash. Cash is king around here. And as always, there's always Uber or Lyft to assist you with bringing you here expeditiously and timely so you don't miss out on these delicious beignets and all these goodies that Cafe Du Monde has to offer. Do yourself a favor. Come here. You belong here for real. Make your stomach sing here on your next trip to Cafe Du Monde in the French Quarter. 5.0 stars for the overall experience, while crazy ambiance, it's the iconic place. Support local! A+

This is a must visit for me!…read more Yes, there are plenty of places to at serve beignets BUT not this way! Staff are experts servers. They can clear out a table, take an order and deliver the awesome beignets, coffee and even souvenirs within minutes. Our server was the best. She whisked in and whisked right out. During this Halloween weekend, the lines were massive. It's basically grab a table if you see one. Others stand in line for takeaway. The beignets melt in your mouth with its boatload of powdered sugar. Coffee is chicory. Strong as ever! Tables are cleaned in minutes so don't stress over a table not cleaned.

The fried 'seafood' platter contains farm-raised imported shrimp, farm-raised imported Swai (a foreign garbage-eating pond-raised fish), and farmed oysters for $26. No thanks. Ok. Switching to gumbo. Uh, their 'gumbo' is a thin broth with virtually no solid ingredients besides white rice. A very few minuscule shreds of chicken and maybe a 6-8 tiny cubes of some tasteless sausage for $17. It did come with a nice biscuit. Be aware of what's being served. Stick to the well-known real-deal restaurants. Not everything is what it claims to be. Nothing real about this ripoff. We'll never go back to this tourist trap.

The whole bill was $40 total for everything we got and we definitely could've spent their $40 somewhere else and had a way better experience. The only thing I like is the ambience, it has all old-school 90s merchandise and video games which entertained my son while we had to wait that long. Cute concept but the food and service and wait time needs to definitely improve. Good location for tourists. Will not return.

With the recent rain, the usual…read morepotent French Quarter street smells were washed away, leaving the air beautifully fresh and the temperatures perfectly cool. Though pop-up showers were still lingering, my husband and I decided to take a gamble on courtyard dining--and I am so glad we did! Sheltered under the green umbrellas surrounded by historic brick walls, lush greenery, and rain-kissed citrus trees, the atmosphere was incredibly romantic and peaceful. The courtyard's intimate layout even brought a bit of extra magic to our evening. We sat near another wonderful couple (and their adorable daughter) and became fast friends, sharing laughs and conversation throughout the night. What truly anchored the experience, though, was the incredible service. The staff was remarkably personable, helpful, and welcoming. The dinner itself was excellent from start to finish, showcasing immense culinary skill across every dish. We started with the delicious brussels sprouts and a uniquely seasoned spring/summer gumbo that was unlike any version we've had before (oh, what I would give for the recipe). As for the entrées, the shrimp and grits were phenomenal, and the blackened catfish sandwich with a fresh salad was executed flawlessly...and the bread pudding was fantastic, too! It is rare to find an experience where top-tier hospitality, a breathtaking environment, and great food come together so (seemingly) effortlessly. Café Amélie is an absolute must-visit! We will be back.

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our server and helpers were over quickly to drop off waters and greet us. I ended up ordered the salmon. With it being so early and only one or 2 other tables besides my friend and me, the food did take longer to come out than I expected it to. Both of us did thoroughly enjoy what we got. The salmon was crispy on the outside with a nice sauce over it. We thought we'd have time to get dessert so we ordered a couple but that too took a very long time. We finally waved down our server to cancel and get the check since we had to be somewhere and he apologized and said their WiFi was going in and out so it could be that it was registering on the kitchen side. That may have explained why our entrees took too long. If it wasn't for the service and the food being great - I would not be thrilled about timing. We got there around 5:30p and had to leave by 7:15p so an almost 2 hours experience that probably could have been 1 hour.

Cute coffee spot! Stumbled upon this one while walking my dog to another coffee spot and decided to just stay here and didn't regret it at all. Plenty of seating inside and outside with good airflow- sat on the patio with my pup and saw others with their dogs come and go while we were there, so definitely dog friendly. The pain au chocolat was delicious and flaky, and their espresso has a great flavor to it. Already been back and will return again. read more

They happily guided me in, and I'm glad they did. The moment I entered, the space felt soft, spacious, and serene. Warm, mellow tones paired beautifully with jazzy Afrocentric cutout art and paintings lining the walls, while oversized sofas invited guests to slow down and stay awhile. The décor is simple yet intentional, much like the café's handwritten chalkboard menu featuring a thoughtfully curated selection of reasonably priced baked goods, beverages, and sandwiches. For breakfast, I ordered the Groovy Bowl without the bacon: eggs, creamy grits, toast, chamomile tea, and orange juice. Every bite was delicious, made even better by the soulful soundtrack gently floating through the café. My only suggestion would be to make condiments a little more visible. I found myself wishing for some salt and pepper with my breakfast and a sweetener for my tea. Overall, Buckatown Coffee Parlour delivered a cozy, welcoming, and memorable breakfast experience. It's exactly the kind of neighborhood spot that makes exploring New Orleans so rewarding, and another wonderful Black-owned business I'm happy to support. #BuckatownCoffeeParlour #TysAdventures26 #BlackOwnedBusiness #GroovyBowl #NewOrleans #NOLA

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.
