"Rue de la Course is considered by many to be the original coffee house in New Orleans, a shop founded in 1990 that once boasted eight local locations. Now, there’s just the one all the way Uptown on Carrollton Avenue, housed in a soaring, historic former bank building. It’s still teeming with regulars meeting up for a cup of coffee, and the open-air upstairs full of university students. A great place to people-watch, and it’s open well into the evening." - Eater Staff
