Directions

A welcoming neighborhood cafe on Freret Street with excellent coffee, house-made drinks, and a creative atmosphere filled with local art for sale. Try the Brazil Lua Azul with oat milk or The Pawn latte, and settle in to work, study, or play board games in this quiet, eclectic space. One heads-up: service can be a bit inconsistent depending on timing and who's behind the counter.
