French Truck Coffee

I tried two locations from this chain while in the city. This one gave me a much better experience ! the staff here were friendly, unlike the Canal Street location, where the service was really unpleasant. Not the warmest welcome to the city. The vibe and branding are nice, and the space feels inviting. However, I found the drinks way too sweet. I tried two (the regular latte and the hazelnut one), and I could barely taste the coffee. Overall, a mixed experience.

Excellent Baristas! The coffee is always quality delish but baristas Blake and Jade made it a next level experience. Both were friendly, knowledgeable, and oh, so patient with me. I wasn’t sure what to get and they helped me figure it out-even let me do a tasting. French Truck knows the importance of having a great coffee AND top notch team.

The beautiful of a grilled cheese sandwich is a fully melted one and we didn't get there. Nevertheless, del soap was great nice flavors and the service on spot.

Absolutely amazing all around! For being in a busy location and during rush hour, Antionette (Netty) and Jade were so helpful and considerate of everyone. Great speed, service, and product. Thank y’all!

Went to one of the many locations of French Truck Coffee in New Orleans. Much like everything else in NOLA, this coffee shop had Taylor Swift theme drink options to accommodate those who identify as Switfties. Clearly, a very inclusive cafe. I chose to go with the iced drink as I’m not one of those people that can drink a hot beverage in a hot day. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Update: After my last trip here I learned how they use a different process for roasting their decaf, which is what I prefer to drink. I purchased a bag of beans to take home, and quickly realized that after tasting their decaf nothing else could measure up. This trip I went by and bought all that they had to take home, and when I was checking out overheard the person checking me out say that they had a contest going on for who sold the most of their Christmas blend (which I have also had and was excellent.) Sharing a photo of the team that I am sure will win this contest, as well as winning my heart for their great service. Go team! Finding French Truck Coffee on one of my earlier trips to New Orleans was one of my favorite finds. I was here yesterday scouting for places the upcoming NOLA Super Bowl guests can eat like a local, and I can't think of a better place to get that morning coffee. All of the locations are fun, happy places to start your day with excellent coffee. The staff is always a treat. I saw the sign for this Lavender Matcha lemonade, but sadly they weren't going to start serving it until next week. Instead of saying no, the gracious woman behind the counter said that even though it hadn't officially started, she had the ingredients and would be happy to make one for me - THAT is customer service! I don't know if this was a promotion or always the case, but be sure to pick up some of their fresh bags of coffee beans to take with you. I was offered a free drip coffee with purchase which I happily accepted. After a trip filled with horrendous issues at the hotel that I was staying at, French Truck but a smile back on my face, and made my day much better - thank you.

Excellent service. No wait time and plenty of tables available on a slow Saturday morning with only two baristas working! Ordered the salmon toast and cortado. The salmon toast had a surprisingly refreshing green onion cream cheese spread that cuts the saltiness in the generous portion of smoked fish and capers. Only reason I did not give this 5 stars is that I wish the bread had been toasted more as it lacked structure under the weight of the fish and spread. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting with bright natural light pouring in despite it being overcast outside and the multiple large green pathos ivy surrounding the tables is a nice touch. Plenty of outlets available and free, fast wifi. The cortado showcased the quality of French Truck’s roast—balanced and smooth, with a well-pulled shot that brought out its depth. The milk, however, was slightly under-steamed, which muted the texture a bit. Still, a solid spot overall with great service, satisfying food, and a welcoming vibe for a casual coffee stop and to get some work done.

One of our favorite coffee shops in NOLA, and a must if you’re staying in the CBD or Warehouse District!
