#5 of 20 Cafés & Coffee in New Orleans

Known forRose Matchaiced coffeeespresso drinks
Directions

A thoughtfully designed coffee shop and independent bookstore combined in one welcoming space on Elysian Fields. Order specialty coffees like their "Go Tell It On The Mountain" or Rose Matcha, browse an impressive book selection (including their "blind date" wrapped books concept), and settle into one of many indoor or outdoor seating areas. The main caveat: it's located on a bike path and bus route with limited parking directly in front, though free street parking is available around the corner.
