Still great coffee. Quick service and nice clean location. The cappuccino is always made fresh by the cup (as it should be) and delicious. Lots of coffee options, and snacks.

Traditional beignets - ate the other two too fast for the photo

GREAT BEIGNETS!!! Regular and mini! Love it. 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.

I'm a simple iced coffee girlie.

Quaint neighborhood coffee bar. Indoor and outdoor seating. Surprisingly quiet space if you wanted to sit and work. Friendly service. Nice selection of pastries.

Uptown Coffee in New Orleans was fantastic! The latte was absolutely delicious, the service was kind and welcoming, and the shop was very well maintained. Beautifully decorated with a cozy, inviting atmosphere.

Wanted to get some beignets and this was the closest cafe to serve them! I highly recommend coming here instead of the touristy areas as there was no line to order them. You can also get coffee and/or work here. Glad we came across this location to try out the beignets!

We went here because it was late and wanted to try beignets. Save your money - this is ain't it for beignets. Good coffee - with almond milk. They have table top pac man which is why they get an extra star on their review.

Ooh the beignet place is back! But with a new name and a new menu. The beignet spot has been closed since Ida. Now that's its open, it's no longer a franchise of the not famous chain. So it's reinventing itself with pastries and all the fancy coffee drinks. Good news - it still has the mini beignets. But no longer has the chocolate ones... Which is fine honestly. The beignets are perfect, light fluffy and yummy. Bad news for me... No iced tea but maybe that will be available eventually. The drink menu is much larger than before with a legit barista working, making all the fancy coffee drinks. Service was great. The space is open with high ceilings. It's still a liitle sparse but they're getting there. The spa water was a lovely touch.

Great place for coffee and a beignet. We tried this place recently and had a great experience. The staff were friendly, the coffee was tasty and the beignets were delightful. Easy walk from our place in the Garden District. Check them out!

In NOLA on a beignets tour, lol. This was the first stop, off to a strong start. Soft, fluffy and loaded with powdered sugar so the kids are happy. The decor in here is nice the people were clean and polite. Oh and the coffee was pretty awesome

a plate of powdered sugared donuts and a cup of coffee

Can't go wrong with the bite size beignets and the frozen cafe au lait. A little hidden gem worth trying! Cafe Du Monte is delicious but this is a close second!

Beignets

Needed to have a Beignet and Cafe while in New Orleans. Cafe Du Monde is always busy.... Found this local place a few steps off of St Charles (near our hotel). Clean place, friendly staff and delicious beignets and coffee. We walked there from our hotel and had a quiet morning of beignets and cafe before the bustle of the French Quarter.

Undergrowth Coffee is the perfect neighborhood place to get a little work done, relax, or converse…read morewith a barista about international coffee varieties or home-made oat milk - all while sipping on an iced coffee or taking bites from a delicious baked treat. I stopped by earlier this morning, loved it, and will definitely be coming in again. As soon as I walked into Undergrowth, I was greeted by an incredibly friendly barista who directed me to seating in the front and rear of the space. The shop has outdoor seating on Magazine street, as well as high-top seating by the window, a couple bar stools behind their espresso machine, and a few two-person tables along the wall. Among art, photography, and other trinkets - plants seemed to be thriving in the ample natural light of the storefront, on the counter of the barista station, atop the fridge or hanging in the window - which I felt contributed to the lively ambiance of the space. I also appreciated the green-painted walls, vintage light fixtures and tables, and antique tile floors. I sat at one of the two-seaters, which I found perfect for working on my laptop while watching people come and go from the shop. I didn't venture into the rear part of the space, but saw a few people go back there to eat food or drink coffee at what I assumed to be larger tables. Apart from plants and paint, however, what made Undergrowth stand out to me was its selection of coffees and other treats curated by a philosophy of ecological and social sustainability that came through in every aspect, large or small, in the running of the shop - from their sourcing of coffee from family or woman-owned farms or their 50-cent discount for re-using a cup. Not only do they make their own oat milk, but their cow-derived dairy is sourced from Progress Milk Barn, a family-owned farm in McComb County, Mississippi - less than a two hour's drive away. When I came by, they had four roasts on their shelves that one of the co-owners took me on a tour of: an Agaseke variety sourced from a woman-owned farm in Rwanda, a Costa Rican top-shelf, and your standard Honduran and Guatemalan beans - all of which had some verification of ethical origin. The coffees were relatively inexpensive compared to other ethical varieties I've seen, and were available in 12 oz bags. I went home with the bag of the Rwandan, because I really enjoyed its description as a coffee with a hearty semblance of roasted sweet potatoes balanced with fruitier notes of peach, prune, and lemon. I had two coffees while hanging out at the shop - a spiced cinnamon-cacao cold brew and an iced americano - and a brownie made with sumac and belgian-swiss ruby chocolate. Both of the coffees were wonderful, and I would recommend either. I especially loved the sumac brownie, which was a hard choice while trying to decide between cookies and cherry-chocolate or cheddar-jalapeno scones. I also appreciated the kindness of the staff at Undergrowth. They greeted regulars and welcomed strangers - and were incredibly charitable to myself and others who had questions about their coffee or their business. A young woman and a child came in and were greeted by name and kudos on the kid's Lilo and Stitch t-shirt. A couple walked in with a dog, who received a complimentary biscuit for being "not just a good boy, a great boy!" A group of some twenty younger guys, who were playing basketball across the street, were all greeted with offers of water and a place to cool off from the heat. One of the co-owners sat on a bar stool and gave the full history, description and care instructions for one of the plants on the countertop to a curious family. They say that kindness is a virtue that pays dividends, and that principle was evident in both the staff and the people who visited Undergrowth. I will definitely be coming by again. Undergrowth is in a perfect location on the intersection of Napoleon and Magazine, right next to a park, a bar and other shops and restaurants. I'd bring my friends here, have an interview or meeting here, or recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable space in Uptown. Say hi to the co-owners if you come through!

Undergrowth Coffee is a chill coffeehouse, eclectic decor, friendly staff and great coffee choices.read more

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.

This was our first time at the new location and we loved the ambiance and open feel. We ordered a…read morepistachio latte (half sweet) and a breve cappuccino with a raspberry danish. We loved everything. On an unfortunately negative note, the barista got very annoyed with me when I asked to have our coffee poured into mugs. They huffed and puffed, did not make eye contact with me, and made sure their body language told me they were annoyed. I'll still return here, but will make sure to ask for a mug ahead of time.
