"Evolved from a roaster, this straightforward, funky Second Ward coffee shop stays on the grind. Through its walk-up window, it offers warm and iced beverages, plus bottled cold teas and coffee mixes. When the weather is nice, stay a while — savor a cortado in its outdoor seating area." - Brianna Griff
"Xela’s technicolor, graffiti-splashed patio is pretty easy to spot driving up Canal in the East End. Known for its top tier in-house roasting, blaring emo-rap music, and fun pre-bottled drinks—like the Screwston cold brew with a promethazine lookalike label or a saffron spiced chai—Xela Coffee Roasters makes coffee feel serious, a little edgy, and mostly just really tasty. Order everything through the front window and snag a patio seat, or take a few bottle bevs to go." - chelsea thomas
"A local coffee company and café known for producing a potent espresso used by neighborhood restaurants to give their carajillos a strong, punchy base; its beans are specifically cited as the espresso source for nearby cocktail programs." - Brittany Britto Garley
