The Best Coffee Shops in New Orleans | Eater New Orleans

"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

The Vintage Plots ‘Next-Level’ Beignets on Magazine Street - Eater New Orleans

"Rue de la Course, after several years in operation, closed its doors. It had an identity crisis after Puccino's coffee shop took over its long-time home across the street, eventually becoming Rum House. The smaller location operated until 2012, when it was renamed Ignatius, and later turned back into Rue." - Stephanie Carter

Beautiful inside!!!!! They grind their own beans and bake their pastries in house (also offer large selection of local flavored syrups). Environment was very welcoming and building just has that old time charm. Can’t wait to go back. P.S., don’t forget to pay for your street parking- unless it’s Sunday.

Good coffee and very open and airy atmosphere, lots of tables to sit at, there’s even a loft. From what I can understand it’s in an old bank, which is kinda cool, the safe is upstairs in the loft, there tall ceiling and huge windows. Definitely a good place to come do some work or study. There were no lounge type seating fyi. There is also pastries and light lunch fare here

It's a good place to work with a laptop and headphones since it can get very loud. There is not much natural light so try to find a spot near the windows. I've been here a couple of times and I always get disappointed by how they serve the cappuccino 😞 it's purely coffee and milk foam... Also they could be more transparent with the prices. They have a huge chalkboard with all the drinks they serve but they don't specify the prices. Very tricky!

don’t clean coffee machine regularly so it makes all of their coffee taste horrible. supposedly college student friendly but treated like garbage if you don’t spend an amount they found acceptable. this coffee shop is in an area that should be representative of the community but only represents of why gentrification has a horrible impact on new orleans culture and community.

Rynae Joiner

I am deeply disappointed by the treatment my close friend received at this establishment. What they experienced was a clear case of racial profiling — something that should never be tolerated in any business. No one should be made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or targeted because of the color of their skin. We expect better from businesses in our community. Discrimination, whether overt or subtle, is unacceptable. Until this is addressed and acknowledged, I cannot support or recommend this place.

I didn’t personally experience this, but I came across the video on TikTok, and I was truly heartbroken by what I saw. The hurt in that woman’s voice when she was told she couldn’t sit and do work without purchasing something first was incredibly painful to hear. The fact that a loyal customer was treated that way—and then had the police called—is disturbing. It’s beyond disappointing. As a community space, a café should offer warmth and respect, not humiliation. I sincerely hope you take this moment to reflect, do better, and change course—because continuing down this path will only push more people away.

Super cool atmosphere and a decent selection of coffee and treats. A wonderful place to catch local color, study or create. The expansive main room feels like a cathedral for your coffee.

My sister went in this establishment today to make a purchase while there she had to upload a video before a certain time the staff kept harassing her and even threatened to call the police on her several timesafter her stating that she shops here all the time which she does on a regular basis so much so I don’t know how they don’t remember her face she was talked very badly too and harassed the whole time she needed no more than 5 to10 minutes to complete what she was doing before going on about her day the woman that works there is very rude very pushy and very disrespectful she was not bothering anyone. She was not disrupting anyone, nor was she harming anyone.

This was a little coffee shop near my Airbnb. I wanted a quick breakfast and came by here. I liked the interior design of this place and wanted to check it out. There were several people sitting down and working on their laptops. They played classical music which was relaxing. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and iced coffee. The sandwich was good. They did not have any ketchup or any other types of sauces available so that was disappointing. The coffee was served in a foam cup. Not that big of a deal but I didn't expect it. It did not taste the same as it would have in a plastic cup. I would come back here again if they had ketchup for my breakfast sandwich next time.

You get 2 stars simply due to the fact that it's in an old bank. That to me, is all you have. I see that calling out how rude and unfriendly the baristas are is not an uncommon review here on Yelp. 2 seconds about me for frame of reference- I run a small coffee farm from Guatemala and typically enjoy Cortados. I am in no way a coffee snob and the only drink I have found remotely good at this establishment is their frozen coffee because it was recommended to me once. The first time I got it, it was great. Not too sweet and with actual espresso. The second time I went a few months later they said they couldn't made them (blender down maybe?). I respond with "awww bummer!!" Male barista responds in a very condescending manner "ohh yeah real bummer" and rolls his eyes. So I got a pastry instead and left. Yesterday was my third and last time I'll be in. I sent my wife in to grab us two of them as there was no parking but she didn't know exactly what they were called. She asked the (this time female) barista and she responds in once again a condescending manner "umm I don't really know, I don't drink those things" She makes them, fills half the cup up with frozen coffee and the other with whip cream (never asked for that). I get in the car, annoyed wife and half a drink once I removed the whip. Side note- this place uses styrofoam diner cups for practically all of the coffees you order (cold or hot). If this isn't a blaring "I should not buy coffee from this place" sign, I don't know what is.

The highlight of this place is the building. Beautiful building with tons of space to sit inside or outside. Great place to meet someone for coffee. And their coffee is good!

This place is such a vibe! Step into old france and have a coffee! Its an old bank building with gargoyles drinking coffee above the windows. Service was friendly and quick. Food was pretty decent. My daughter's bagel and lox needed a little help but overall not a bad experience. I guess that's what you get for ordering a jewish item from a french coffee house lol.

Caroline Patel never finishes bagels and she ate every bite of her everything bagel with shallot cream cheese. She didn't even let me have a bite. I tried really hard but she wouldn't and when I went to grab the bagel she shoved the rest of it in her mouth.

My favorite coffee shop in NOLA! Always love to start my morning there with the lox bagel and their chai tea. The inside is two stories and full of people just relaxing with their morning coffees haha. This place is always on my list when I visit

Really cool looking vibe from the trolley. We rode to the end of St Charles line and then came back to try this spot. Place was not busy at all with only a few customers. Bagel sandwiches were really good. Cafe Latte was pretty strong with three shots, which is nice. The staff on the other hand seemed super disinterested and dismissive bordering on rude.

This is a very straight forward coffee house with a pretty awesome location near the riverbend on Carrollton. It's in a historic, old bank building that's got to be over 100 years old. Gargoyles and all - I kid you not. They serve a solid cup of java, and on occasion I've seen people enjoying theirs with their fur babies in tow. I'm attaching a photo of what I think is a fantastic idea. Table shims!!! They're located on a sideboard where you'll also find sweeteners, cream, stirrers, etc. and I'm still blown away that they exist! Every restaurant known to man should have a stack of these available. My only issue with this spot is the parking situation. Only street parking and the nearest spots are "pay to park" now. I don't want to pay to park just to get a cup of coffee. It's not an issue if you live/work nearby because this is a wonderful area to walk and enjoy the beauty of your neighborhood. Just my 2 cents.

Coffees should be served in their proper cups. Cold brew in foam hot coffee cop is not the experience a cold coffee drinker wants or expects, it just becomes an entirely different drink

It gets very busy at times but the employees are great at keeping up with the hustle and bustle. Very classic interior that feels cozy when you walk in. A lot of people go there to study and have a small snack and coffee. Personally I prefer a hot chocolate and a slice of their carrot cake.

Large place. The coffee flavor was good but lacked sweetness. They had no decaf available. When I went to get some sugar packets there was only diet sugar. Didn't ask what type of milk I wanted in my drink.

One of my favorite coffee shops! They play soft classical music which I love for when I am studying. Also their coffee, bagels, and pasties are all great. My only bone to pick is that they use styrofoam cups for everything, but again, one of my favorite coffee spots in the city

Cute, chic cafe in an old bank that makes a great chai latte and cranberry scone. Not a ton of seating though.

Hands down, the best chai tea I've ever found. Come to find out, they get it from Australia- Alchemy Chai tea. Very nice employees. Thank you!

Great coffee! The coffee is strong and bold, and a great way to wake up. I always get a cappuccino or caffe latte. Both are excellent! Their bagels are also delicious as well. I particularly love the Marigny. That tomato cream cheese is absolutely divine. The sprouts are always crisp! I am not a big avocado eater, but there are rare exceptions when I can tolerate it...this sandwich is one! This place has a great atmosphere. The space is stunning. Also quite large. This is an ideal spot to take in the beautiful St. Charles Avenue and Oak Street. Friendly employees.

Vanilla lattes are easy to make and equally as easy to mess up. Just had my 4th perfect latte here and wanted to Yelp about it! Good apple turnovers too. This former bank translates nicely to a coffee shop, with beautiful chandeliers and gargoyle statues. Ample seating area upstairs too for studying and first dates. Definitely worth a trip on the street car to this gem.

In love with this liittle coffee house's atmosphere. Soft music playing, people work the smell of fresh coffee. There were pastries and a nice selection of tea for the choosing. I was there to meet a guy for the first time and this coffee house provided the perfect meeting place. It's not on my side of town but if I would definitely drop by if I was in the areaa to try the coffee or to have the Blue eyes tea again.

We stopped in here late on a week night when our friends were visiting in town. It was hard to find a place for coffee and to hang out that also stayed open late. Fortunately, this place does! They are located in an old building with a high ceiling and really cool architecture. They play very relaxing classical music that fit the mood just right. They have plenty of tables on the main floor and it looked like a smaller selection upstairs. There was a good size amount of people there on their laptops. We were able to get a table for the 4 of us without any problem. My iced latte was fantastic. It was probably the best I've had in a long time. I had some leftover and it was even good the next day. I would definitely return here for the coffee and the ambiance!

Coffee is good, but the garlic bagel & the sun dried tomato cream cheese is to die for! Tastes just like a pizza! Love the interior vibe, but the tables & chairs could be more updated. I love how the coffee is made fresh

I love this coffee shop. I really do. But the wildly dramatic movie scores from battle scenes with clashing cymbals, horns, drums and intense volume, tempo changes is distracting and adding too much anxiety to my work flow. Please consider going back to the softer, productivity aiding classical music. A very loud "ride of the valkyries" is giving me too much of a hard time. But also thank you for being open during COVID. Appreciate yall.

The coffee: The cortado tasted pretty burnt. This went away after I let my coffee sit a while so I guess there's that. I think I may just have had a bad experience because the person taking care of my order seemed really new. I wouldn't write home about the coffee, but it wasn't bad. The shop: This is probably the saving grace for me. I really like the space. It seems like an excellent place to study. There are two floors and tall ceilings, making it seem very large. It reminds me of a library. I haven't been to many shops that have this atmosphere, so I would give it bonus points for that. Overall: Reasonable coffee and a great space makes this place worth coming to, especially if you want a nice spot to get some work done.

WOW, I will start w/that. Love love love the inside of this old bank building with its gargoyles look down at the customers. They have transformed this space into rue de la course a cafe with great coffee, food and music selection. Both guys behind the counter were both very friendly and helpful. If you stop by and happen to enjoy Dark Roast you have to try Mexican Chipas. It was highly recommended and did not disappoint. I also had the egg sandwich on a toasted everything bagel. Very tasty, I do love provolone. I finished my stay with a sweet potato pecan muffin. Out of this world delish. Price was very fair. Starbucks should watch out. This place does it right. 5 star happy

A real fav in Carrollton: a wonderful adaptive reuse of a historic bank building for starters. Great baked goods of all sorts--bagels, scones, etc, and a wide range of breakfast sandwiches if that's your thing. I go for the scones--everything is several levels up from the major chains found everywhere. As is the coffee--always new selections, smart creative baristas. Pay more elsewhere if you wish but consistent quality here is difficult to beat.

Really cool place to get a cup of coffee and getting work done. It's sometimes difficult to find a seat near a plug, but always worth a shot! Great place for catching up with one or 2 friends, not a large group. The staff is great and helpful with suggestions if you're unsure of what to order.

BEFORE YOU MARRY MEET THE MOTHER was the best advice my favorite college roommate gave me. This rule applies to Rue De La Course with a slight variation: BEFORE YOU ORDER CHECK OUT THE BATHROOM (See pics, it's been in this condition for years) - the floor is progressively grimey toward the toilet - the sink's soap reservoir is slimy with green scum - the sheetrock above the lav has eroded away - years of graffiti cover the walls - the dispenser is coverless, trash lid caked in funk - something nasty is splattered on the baseboards - the lighting is that of a bare 60 Watt bulb, etc. OBVIOUSLY THE OWNERS JUST DON'T CARE What's most disturbing is that for less than $200 and a day's labor this 5+ years den of scrofula could be repaired and immaculate.

I loved walking into this place to experience what was once an old train station (I believe that is what I remember them saying). The awesome tall ceilings and tall walls made the place feel very open, bright and full of energy. The architecture is great to stare at and get inspiration from. I particularly like the back wall all lined up with their different coffee beans in jars. I only stopped in for coffee, so I cannot comment on anything else, but I was a bit disappointed in the coffee. I ordered a cold brew and much to my surprise it was served to me in a styrofoam cup that you would use for something hot - like a coffee you would pick up at a gas station. It caught be off guard enough that I felt silly when I asked if my coffee was cold. During my trip to New Orleans, I popped into a few other coffee shops and I would say, I liked others over this one - as far as the actual coffee offering.

Let me start out with good coffee, food, and unique old bank vibes. Great study spot for college students, usually classical music playing as well. Only downside is I did once get a chemical rash from their chair, fortunately they have since gotten new ones.

Not sure how valid this review is based on 1 very brief visit. I can tell you that this place is great for students who need coffee and wifi. Plenty of seating available. I didn't see many outlets so that's something to consider. There were good menu items...mostly stuff to snack on, and coffee, tea, lattes, ect. Nice architecture and space.

Venue is lovely, believe it's a desanctified church from daze gone by ? High ceilings and spacious work areas, plenty o students hangin out on the cornder Oak and South Carrollton. Friendly enough staff. WiFi eventually got goin, couldn't get into the gents; don't know wot dats all about, Alfie. Decaf coffee below par and served luke warm. Dis ask for a hot one, was pointed to a microwave ! bare passing grade a C= minus ...and feeling charitable because like the students, I WAS able to get a little work done on the WiFi / tablet////eventually it connected, but was not easy.

Rue De La Course is always filled with people working diligently at their computers, many small tables providing lots of seating options including a small second floor area. Coffee and teas here are well crafted with good locally made pastries. It's a bookish, low key coffee shop,good for a meet up with a friend or some quiet time to get some work done. Service is always good too.

Tried to study here on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy/crowded as expected, but the A/C wasn't working properly which is the real issue I had with this coffee shop. The upper level (where I wanted to study since I heard it's quieter up there) was much hotter than the lower levels. People avoided sitting up there, making the lower level even more crowded. I even saw one couple move a table down the staircase to the lower level to have somewhere to sit! The WiFi was spotty and I wasn't even trying to stream a video; I had to rely on a friend's mobile hotspot for a reliable connection. This may not be worth your time if you're trying to study, watch a video, etc. The almond milk iced latte I got was delicious and I liked the classical music playing; however, because of the so-so atmosphere I don't know if I'll be back soon. Also, the bathrooms are pretty gross and dark, just sayin'.

New Orleans is full of great options for studying/working all day in a coffee shop as well as those places you'll put on your hazards just to get a sweet, sweet cup of their coffee to bring you to life. I still think that this location is beautiful for a totally different coffee shop experience here in the city and if you're walking/biking there you don't have to worry about paying for parking. I just think the quality of service and product is not up to par with the rest of the coffee shops around town. I don't need a flair-covered, apron-wearing barista that's had one too many before 7am. I appreciate a barista that reminds me of my favorite bartenders...a bit of sass and confidence with a side of education if I'm looking for something different who produce a de-lish drink. I just think the folks here are the type that you wonder why they're in this current profession if they dislike it so much. And I feel like it shows in my drink order. Sandwiches still rock my socks, but just remember to specify your side. Again this could be the place for you, if you're the little man in their logo reading the newspaper with his cup of black coffee and could give two shiz about the things I mention above. I actually envy your lack of addiction to high-speed internet and chocolate mocha ways if that's the case.

Plenty of indoor seating even during Covid and excellent coffee and food! I had a chai latte and an egg and bagel sandwich and enjoyed both. The one negative was that the mucus inside is weirdly intense classical music; I don't enjoy it but my friend did so I guess it's all a matter of personal preference.

I'll always support "the Rue" as we call it because of its location, beauty, and how my grandpa used to love it. However, they are so expensive and average tasting. I got a small mocha ($4) and it tasted like Starbucks, not very chocolately. I also got a onion bagel ($2) which was fine but definitely not as good as the bagels you can get at CIBO a block down. I got sun-dried tomato cream cheese ($1) with it which I would not get again- it didn't even really taste like cream cheese, just very tomatoey, I'd recommend if you LOVE tomatoes/tomato sauce. Overall, love the place but wish they had better food/drinks or cheaper prices.

Great little local coffee shop that's awesome for studying or reading or just catching up (when it's not packed with Tulane/Loyola students!). It used to be a bank, so the architecture is awesome and super cool with the tall vaulted ceiling. I love their circling selections of fresh brewed ice tea, or you can pick from a ton of hot teas, and they have several options for coffees of various strengths as well. Baristas are always friendly and the service is pretty quick depensing on the technicality of the order in front of you! They also have an awesome display of pastries, and they even make some awesome bagel sandwiches! I recommend the chocolate croissant or banana bread! Also, the upstairs is better for super quiet studying, but I prefer sitting outside and watching the hustle and bustle on Oak/Carrollton. Free Wi-Fi, and bathroom is tucked in the back.

First off, the building is incredible. Like, just stunningly beautiful. The architecture is totally lost on most coming through. There's an enormous vault inside, too. Bathrooms are always clean! It's a great place to study, read, or people watch. I've never eaten there but I've always gotten a coffee and lemonade. Can't explain why but I can't refuse a lemonade. The coffee is always perfect. The upstairs is warm so be wary if you're staying a while. It can also be hard to find a plug for your laptop.

I like studying here bc there's so much seating available upstairs and downstairs. There's lots of natural light that shines through the windows and the tall ceilings make it feel very open. I ordered a small French vanilla iced coffee($3) and asked for a splash of almond milk. The barista diluted my coffee with so much almond milk that it didn't even taste like an iced coffee anymore. I also ordered a plain bagel with butter ($2). They don't have individual butter packets like most coffee shops. Instead, there is a communal plate of butter that everyone can dig into, which I think is so gross because anyone could easily double dip. Their menu doesn't list any prices, so you never know if you're getting overcharged or not.

I've been going here since I was in high school and never tire of the high ceilings, straight forward coffee, and breakfast bagel sandwiches! Before Humble Bagel was a thing, Rue De La Course was the cafe with breakfast sandwiches (it still is since HB isn't really a coffee shop). In high school, I used to come here to chat with friends, do work, and do college interviews. I still come here to study, but now I conduct interviews here. The high ceilings and fantastic lighting make this place fantastic to catch up with friends in. The Good: 1. Work here - good wifi, bathrooms, cheap(er) drinks, outlets along the walls. 2. Eat Breakfast here - pastries and breakfast bagel sandwiches. 3. Meet up with people here - good lighting + high ceilings + lots of great stuff in the area + outdoor seating. 4. Study here - go to the second floor. Lighting isn't as great, but it's quieter and there are study lamps. 5. Read here - there's a great bookstore down the street - buy a book and read it here! 6. Sit and admire the building - There is no other coffee shop in New Orleans with these high ceilings. The Not so Good: 1. Wifi isn't the fastest (videos don't always work) 2. Coffee isn't the best o fthe best. They do standard no nonsense coffee. 3. Bagels run out pretty quickly. I mean, people come here for the bagels so they're out pretty early in the day.

By far my favorite coffee spot in New Orleans! Absolutely love that it's in an old bank and it doesn't hurt that the coffee and snack are absolutely delicious. A great spot to charge up, whether it's your phone or your stomach

Barista failed to address me as "Your Lordship" and would not refund my bagel sandwich with only 37 bites out of it. Pastries were at least four hours old, and they clearly used cassia in their so-called "cinnamon" shaker. I arrived five minutes before their listed opening hours and was not even shown in, and when I returned the next day, there was not a single doily to be found in the men's room! Wifi facilities were inferior, and I was barely able to torrent Seasons 1-5 of The Office before my connection timed out! I am owed a better class of service than this, because I own a chain of over 1,500 coffeeshops across the Greater Kalamazoo area, plus I own a mansion and a yacht. Also, the coffee is no good for reasons I can not and will not describe in detail, plus you should win prizes just for drinking it. If I could give negative fifty stars, I would, but I have to give them at least one. (Haha, just kidding. It's a coffeeshop. You give them money and they give you coffee. The baristas are exactly as polite as someone in the service industry should be. The bagel sandwich was good, and the bagel was actually much fresher than I've gotten in many "five-star" cafes that Yelpers seem to love. Coffee was indeed a bit bitter, but I'm not an entitled twerp, so I rolled with it and had a good time in their lovely building.)
