    a business card on a wooden table
    Rafael A.

    You gotta love a business with a good sense of humor. After taking your first few sips of coffee from this small shop (located inside the Stein's Market and Deli), you'll definitely be thinking this coffee is anything but "whatever". I had a cold brew, which was rich, smooth and full of delicious "coffee" flavor (yet not at all bitter....as a cold brew SHOULD be). Again, the shop is super small, taking up a small corner, but the working the the shop is BIG on coffee. He was pretty friendly and willing to chat about all things coffee...so much so, he caught himself then apologized for chatting too much (I really didn't mind). So yeah, stop in, get some coffee, or...whatever.

    Whatever you do, be sure to stop by this cool coffee stand inside of Stein's Deli. Don't be fooled by the small size of this place, however, as they can make just about whatever you could possible want (espresso, lattes, coffee, etc.). I didn't test them, but I have no doubt that they will do whatever it takes to make your drink exactly how you like it. You can get whatever floats your boat, but their espresso is very good and is served in the coolest glasses. I usually just stop and get whatever is easiest on my way out the door, but I would definitely recommend stopping by this hidden gem of a coffee shop if you're in the area. They will have whatever you need to get you through your day!

    Don't miss it. Pay attention or you will. Quick, no frills, smoothest espresso and a tight mellow milk top to the cappuccino.

    Great coffee and great baristas! I tried several different lattes and the chai and they were all amazing!

    I got a coffee there this morning and it tasted off. I swirled the cup and noticed the milk was chunky! They used rotten milk :(

    TL;DR - Despite how popular and what a tourist stop this is, you still HAVE to grab your beignets…read moreand coffee here, at least once. You do that, you may be stopping more than once. Longer: So I was a little hesitant to go to CDM, because it's such the tourist stop and the first joint anyone mentions when they say "beignet". But this was our first stop, morning of first day. The beignets are piled in sugar, they are warm, crunchy and crisp on the outside and soft, warm and delicate inside. I gotta tell you, the texture is just a little different than Cafe Beignet, the Four Seasons, and even the other CDM in the park we tried a few days later. To me, this is the best one. Now, as a coffee person, their black coffee is strong, rich, and a good compliment to the real show - the beignets. But I did not pick up on nearly as much chicory in their chicory coffee as, say, Cafe Beignet's version. Also, I have to let you know the other location in the big park serves a non-chicory version (in addition to NOLA chicory) that is head and shoulders the best coffee we had in New Orleans. But this is the joint. As a bonus, it's colorful, has consistently great street musicians, and has lots of walkable sites as you struggle to waddle around after too many beignets. Gotta go!

    I was not impressed. I do not understand why people say this place is great. The coffee was…read moreterrible. Had it both iced and hot. Had the beignets they were also not so great. The cost is ridiculous for the gift shop when you can go to the grocery store 2 blocks away and get it half price. The atmosphere was loud, service slow, so many people and horrible turnovers. The best coffee I found was at Empanola. Do not waste your time or money.

I ordered a vanilla matcha. It was one of the best matchas I've had. It wasn't a trendy matcha overloaded sweetener. It was earthy with the perfect dash of vanilla. I also had a blueberry muffin. It's an acquired taste as I'm used to eating pastries overloaded with sweetener. The muffin relied on the natural blueberries for sweetness, which was nice. +Customer service was amazing +Plenty of seating, perfect for work or socializing +Prices are average +Shop was clean and well stocked

If you are looking to avoid Starbucks or French Truck for your coffee fix and want something that is much locally based, Fourth Wall will fit the bill. The cold brew is wicked strong like much stronger than what I order normally at Starbucks. The iced London Fog lattes I discovered are premade, which overall my wife thought was alright, but she liked that they had gluten free blueberry muffins. The chocolate croissant was solid. The service was prompt and friendly. And the decor had a rustic ambiance with the brick walls, dark book shelving and garden patio in the back. The coffee bar has a hidden quality about it that is alluring and appealing. It was good to check out before we concluded our recent stay in NOLA.

The bourbon and pancakes breakfast is an absolute must-order. Honestly, everything our whole family ordered was delicious, and my kids loved it too.

We ordered an Avocado Bowl, and Biscuits and Gravy. They were both good! Nothing too special about them. Avocado bowl is more like a salad topped with avocado. Biscuits were soft and gravy was light! I am such a gravy girl. The service was good. Staff was friendly. We were sat immediately. Our busser was so sweet and nice. He was so fast to clear our dishes. However it did take a while to get our bill. The place is like a cute breakfast dinner. There was a second floor option, but we didn't get to explore because 2nd floor is outside and it was humid that day. In conclusion, a good breakfast spot. However, I much prefer the "Camp St." location over this one.

    The Vintage - New Orleans, LA…read more The Vintage on Magazine Street was our very first food stop in New Orleans, and it turned out to be a great way for my wife and me to start our trip. From the moment we walked in, I really liked the atmosphere. The place has a cool, relaxed New Orleans vibe with a little bit of an upscale café feel without being overly fancy. It's the kind of spot where you can come in, sit down, enjoy some good food and drinks, and just take your time. Of course, we couldn't come to New Orleans and not start things off with beignets! We decided to go with the Fancy Beignet Flight, which gave us a chance to try several different flavors. We got the raspberry, s'mores, and Chantilly. They came out looking almost too good to eat, covered in powdered sugar with all the different fillings and toppings. Almost... because we definitely ate them! They were warm, sweet, messy in the best possible way, and a fun introduction to our New Orleans food adventure. For my meal, I ordered the Italian Panini with the truffle Parmesan fries. The sandwich was packed with meat, cheese, and flavor. Looking at that cross-section, they definitely weren't being stingy with the fillings! The bread was toasted nicely, and everything worked well together. The truffle fries were another highlight. They had plenty of seasoning and Parmesan and paired perfectly with the sandwich. I also grabbed a small iced mocha, which went really well with the food and especially the beignets. One thing I really enjoyed about The Vintage was the atmosphere. The interior has a lot of character, from the marble tables and vintage-style flooring to the bar and pastry display. It feels like a place that belongs on Magazine Street. It was comfortable enough that we didn't feel rushed and could just enjoy being in New Orleans together. The service was good during our visit, and everything came together for a really enjoyable first meal in the city. Our bill came to around $48 after tax and tip for the two of us, and considering we had a sandwich, upgraded fries, drinks, and the beignet flight, I thought it was a good experience for the money. Most importantly, this place gave my wife and me a great start to our New Orleans trip. When your first stop includes a loaded Italian panini, truffle Parmesan fries, iced coffee, and a whole flight of beignets, you know the trip is starting off right! Definitely a place I would visit again. Great food, great atmosphere, and a great first taste of New Orleans. 5 stars from us!

    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!

Spacious with a boho vibe, this was the ideal spot for us to discover at the end of our Magazine Street stroll. Tables were well spaced from each other, so laptoppers get their privacy.

Wise move because it might as well have a revolving door for how often it was being used. We hung out for a surprisingly long time for tourists.
