Incredible coffee shop with cool historical building, friendly staff, yummy tea and coffee, and a great working environment for people who need a place to work for a few hours. Loved this spot will definitely be returning!

The iced coffee was full bodied and robust. I did not need to add sugar or want creamer. Teen Mini-me said her frozen frappé was excellent! Not too sweet, but still creamy and rich. Got two muffins (sweet potato pecan) cause theyd just been delivered. The barista was awesome, cool, and accommodating. I teach WGSS and her ink featured women I teach about so, (like Marsha, Stonewall, Angela Davis, etc) all around great experience.

Lovely place for a simple breakfast and coffee. The building is beautiful and perfect to get some work done. Plenty of tables. Decent service. Follow my food blog on Instagram: @WeYumNola

Love getting coffee here when my hubby goes to his chiropractor. Its right next door. Good Wi-Fi, so I can get some work done while he gets treated. Aces!

When you walk in, the vibe is a quiet one with music playing to relax the soul while you sit and work on that special project. They sell all types of coffee, that tickle the tastebuds. The Carmel Frappe is not too sweet with a rich flavor. While exploring the Uptown Carrollton District, Check it out!

A delightful coffee and pastry shoppe along the trolley route. Truly reminds one of a French Cafe. Hand brewers with rich coffees and teas.

Convenient location, great ambiance and lots of choices. We enjoy it each time we stop by.

Awesome place to study or hang out. Good coffee and friendly staff

Been looking at this place for decades? but never stepped inside. After stepping inside, it looks dark (even after lighting) and old. Add the age to the melancholy classical music and the atmosphere is somewhat of a downer.. Anyway the coffe is pretty good. Cafe Noir is good French dark roast that they sell. They have an assortment of espresso. They have some bagels. It looks like most people are students or people wanting free wifi. Pretty good. Maybe consider remodeling

Great coffee and bagels in a marvelous atmosphere with wonderful service. Lovely space to enjoy visiting with friends or studying.

Beautiful atmosphere, fresh and tasty pastries and coffee. Im not usually a coffee drinker, but this place.. Its amazing. Will be returning.

This is a beautiful coffee shop located in an old bank building. It has a lovely aesthetic and is a great place to do work.The coffee I have gotten has been great quality each time.I recommend it to anyone looking for a good coffee shop.I gave it 4 stars, however, due to 2 things I think it could fix:1. the music is SO loud. They usually play beautiful classical music, but on a few occasions the music has been so loud it detracted from the lovely atmosphere.2. I once had the worst barista experience with a man who worked there. I asked if it would be possible to order a Flat White with some caramel added -- a drink I have successfully gotten at many coffee shops as it is my go-to! He proceeded to tell me that this wasnt a Starbucks very rudely. I was just shocked by the matter in which he handled a simple question.Other than that one experience, I remain coming back due to it being such a unique place! I have had nothing but positive barista experiences following that one day.

This is the worst coffee shop in New Orleans. The first time I went there, I got an ice tea and i felt like I was drinking a mucous plug, went in to get an different drink and the barista was incredibly rude. Just decided to give this place a second chance today and bought what I thought was the last slice of cake... but no... the barista actually cut the last slice in half and charged me $5 for it. Do yourself a favor and drive down the street to zotz ... it’s a MUCH better coffee shop

It is a really nice place. Delicious bagels and lattes with historical athmosphere.

Cool neighborhood coffee shop set in what appears to have been an old bank. We saw lots of people casually doing homework, reading and socializing here. A very nice space.

Great place to hang out for casual conversation or to just sit and work ! At the corner of St Charles and Oak - decent view. Interesting ambience.

Dont come here for food. Flies in the bagel case and on the windows. Handed us cold bagels in a bag to toast ourselves on a toaster with broken handle. Said they didnt have plates because of Covid, yet there is no mask requirement, no hand sanitizer available, and everyone touches everything at the coffee station. The food service is on level with a 7-11. Nothing is baked here.

Chill spot to come and get some good coffee, the ambience is calm and relaxing. The architecture is very nice to see, always a good spot to get some work done.

I love this coffee joint!! 😁

Nice friendly service and great quality coffee and bagels

Super cute cafe. I love hanging out here and their coffee is good.

I had a great experience there.

Great coffee and friendly employees. Internet is slow....it takes a longtime to download films, ect.

Good coffee and food. Nice and chill environment.

Short staffed. Coffee was so-so

Great coffee and atmosphere. The CBD club doesn’t have any CBD in it though 🤬

Great atmosphere and lemonade. Its a wonderful place to meet business contactsduring Covid-19.

I will NEVER return to this establishment again. The service was much worse than the food and the food was barely edible.They do not cook the eggs, they microwave them along with the soggy bacon. Bad as the food was, what really prompted me to write this review is that the guy taking orders was the rudest I have ever encountered. I paid and was waiting for my order when he left the register and walked over toward me and the the girl making the food and said to her $45 ticket, no tip. He said it twice, maybe she didnt hear him at first or maybe he wanted to ensure that I heard him, idk. Why should I tip on a to go order??? He punched in an order and poured coffee... just like they do at McDonalds.... and he didnt even crack a smile or provide any quality of service that would warrant a tip. (A customer after me ordered a bagel, it was given to him cold. When he asked if he could have it toasted the rude one behind the counter directed him to a toaster in the corner. So basically he does the bare minimum and expects a tip). They dont advertise prices but I ordered 4 breakfast sandwiches 4 coffees and 2 pastries which was over $45. For that price I shouldnt have to eat a microwaved egg. The building is beautiful and it seems like a nice atmosphere to study/work. The coffee was good but not good enough to make me return. You would be better off at Dunkin Donuts. I am so glad that Im traveling and this is not my local coffee shop.

Dont come here without earbuds. The music is loud and obnoxious when you are trying to study and has a very odd classical melancholia vibe. The bagel sandwiches are good but the iced chai is meh. Very cool antique style interior, coffee gargoyles on interior wall arches.

Mmmm coconut breve latte! Yummy, aside from coffee needing to be a little hotter, its awesome.

Peeling pain everywhre, some visible mold, and musty odors of black mold all throughout. WiFi does NOT work. The tea was just mediocre. The woman who said was the owner was the most arrogant kook Ive met so far this year.

Very beautiful coffee shop that used to be a bank, with friendly employees and they even had classical music playing in the background! With very reasonable pricing!

Simple and good offers around coffee.

Cool vibe and great coffee especially their Americano

Love the batista here! Place makes oak street!

Beautiful coffee shop along the St.Charles trolley line.

I really like how historic this place looks.

Very tranquil café in a majestic former bank. Menu is splendidly simple.

I love the baristas, and am especially glad to have a local coffee shop that has been following all the city and state guidelines around masks, COVID safety, and has kept it positive during harrowing and uncertain times. SPREAD THE LOVE!!

Grea coffee. Worth coming back for. Cute baristas.

We did not eat anything but we had coffee & we sat at the street site. Not a great experience.

Great coffee. Beautiful building. Excellent baristas.

This is a super cute, relaxed coffee shop. Lots of outlets for working on a computer. They had dessert and breakfast options. Lots of space and tables. Don’t pay for parking right out front. There is plenty of free parking in the neighborhood behind.

This place is pretty awesome. I started stopping in cause my chiropractor is next door. The building and space is incredible, with tons of natural light. Their espresso based drinks might be some of the best in the city. And today I tried a breakfast sandwich, and it was delicious. Get in here and make your morning better!

As a French citizen living in US, nothing is more appreciable than finding a place with a real coffee. Add to that very good bagels, tasty pastries and a peaceful atmosphere, and its perfect.

Gargoyles are very cool yall

Delicious coffee, even better baked goods.

This is one of the best places too have coffee and dessert. It has always been a favorite place to enjoy an excellent cup of coffee and a superb desert. I have always enjoyed my time while there.

My good place to get great coffee and to do my work

Not impressed with the Iced chai and a tiny bit pricey

Really pretty space, hot up in the loft with no A/C, but downstairs is nice and cool. Helpful staff. Unfortunately no prices listed on ANYTHING so you have to ask and go through anything you might be interested in. Tedious; lost a star for that. Luckily it was very quiet when I was there. Not sure Id bother with that if there was a line or it was busy. Too many equally good coffeehouses around. Had a large iced coffee, pretty standard. Good cranberry scone. Fun little gargoyle sculptures drinking coffee up by the ceiling (pics)

This coffee shop is very cozy.A nice place for students and just gatherings in general.With that being said, the only thing I didn’t like was my drink lol.Other than that, the place was full of friendly people.

This is the best little (big) cafe in town. If youre looking for a quick bite or small lunch accompanied by a serene atmosphere this is the place. I love it here and will be back again!!! The workers are friendly and it isnt crowded. Was here on a Sunday so that might have something to do with it. Please dont hesitate to come here.

Great, cheap coffee and lots of room to sit and work! The only complaint I have is that the music can get VERY loud to the point where its difficult to work, especially if youre sitting on the second floor. Ive left a few times because it became impossible to concentrate or get any work done with the music playing...Besides that, it was great!

Great place for coffee! Never been to another coffee shop that plays classical music before and I have had some really kind baristas who were very patient with me as I asked different questions. Espresso based drinks are amazing!!

What a cool coffee shop.This is a big coffee shop with one large open room downstairs and a more private loft area upstairs. The upstairs area is nice and somewhat secluded. It would be perfect for reading, studying or other activities requiring seclusion.There are also several tables outside which have a good view for people watching. The outside area is my preferred area, but some people prefer the inside. Either way, this is a cool location.The coffee is very good. I am an iced coffee aficionado and theirs ranks very high. They also offer bagels and other food. On my most recent trip I had an everything bagel. It was good, but not great.The staff was friendly and efficient.This location is not in an area I frequent so my trips may be few and far between. If I am in the area again, I will gladly stop in for coffee.

Rue De La Course is an excellent location to get homework done, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee. Beautiful, large windows mean lots of natural light to highlight the gorgeous old architecture! Right off Carrollton, take a stroll before or after you cup of joe for a quintessential New Orleans experience!

Good experience, and will definitely be one of the places I will go to study. The building looks nice, and the coffee was quite good. Perhaps it could use a little more lightning, but it did not feel like a problem. I can see myself there enjoying a nice brunch looking at the outside through their big windows in a sunny day.

Business Meeting at Rue De La Course--Located in a historic former bank building. My coffee was good.You have to pay for parking unless you park about a block away.Most tables seat 2 people. We put two together for a business meeting.

Best espresso in the city, a beautiful building, and a great location. Their drink menu includes tea and more. They have pastries, bagels, and lunch sandwiches with chips. Free parking is reasonably close, and it is right on the streetcar line. Great staff and owner. A staple of the city.

Great location, bean selection, and tea selection.

Best coffee shop in town. Love the classical music. A real melting pot of customers. Staff members are very hospitable.

The few times I’ve went I’ve enjoyed myself but the feeling of the cafe is almost that of a fancy country club, which isn’t bad just not what I’d expect for a coffee shop. The coffee is great, but the homemade syrups leave a bit to be desired.

Loved the Black Tea!

Tall, historic space on a good street corner. Decent coffee and drink menu. However, the food menu could be spruced up by someone, at some point... maybe a real cook. But still, the atmosphere is good, sometimes the music is classical, which is cool. Prices are average.

A nice joint. I recently started visiting this place out of a need for a decent cup of brew. It did not disappoint. Excellent coffee. Ive only tried the Americano and the beans used are very good quality.Friendly workers. Well run.Ive only taken my coffee to go, but inside is roomy. Its a place where locals of all ages hang out.

Often enjoyable~

I only had the carrot cake and a coffee but they were both good. The carrot cake was very moist 👌

Ok products and seemed fresh. I bit too militant on the mask demands...

Very nice staff and awesome cafe. Coffee tasted good but lacked any latte art or true milk quality. Good selection of food items as well. Dont go if youre looking for speciality coffee but totally an awesome cafe to visit!

My most favorite coffee shop ever. I originally moved to Louisiana from Colorado, and Ive never tasted anything better. Anytime I take someone to New Orleans, this is my first stop. Best coffee Ive ever had, and this place has a wonderful, relaxing atmosphere. The building itself is beautiful inside and out. Im sad I live in Baton Rouge!

Want a bagel thats been swarmed by fruit flies? Then try this place out. I wasnt quite able to get a picture without it being awkward. The coffees mediocre as well. Giving it a bonus star because at least the architecture is cool.Oh, and if you want good coffee, maybe check out Zotz around the corner (or if you can make the drive to Magazine, Hey Cafe is one of the best in the city).

Coffee is awesome. Atmosphere is great. Service is skilled, knowledgeable and courteous. Place stays packed and service is a little slow. Other than that, love the place!

Great coffee and food. Awesome historic location with great ambiance.

I love this place, I stop by whenever Im in the neighborhood.

Decent coffee, staff isnt overly friendly, breakfast sandwich was good. Staff didnt tell me that theyd just leave the for on the far counter. I waited by the register until I noticed a bag on the counter, close to the door . Customer service could be improved.

Not only is the coffee great,but,there is a whole bunch of yummy food choices.The atmosphere is very relaxing and stimulating at the same time.

Came here with a friend and had a bad experience all around. The staff was unfriendly and rude. Our order was messed up. The bagels were small and firm. They make you toast the bagel yourself and spread your own cream cheese. That’d be fine for a grocery store, but not an overpriced cafe. I guess it’s a cool spot in an old bank building. Not worth it.

Love the cold brew here, cool old building

Great neighborhood coffee spotDelicious latteOat milkWhats not to like

Wonderful atomsphere, great place to study or simply relax. The employees are really cool as well.

Heaven! This OG craft coffee shop was taking great care of directly sourced beans when most of us had never heard of Starbucks. Amazing coffee and fantastic baristas.

This is a great coffee shop for studying/reading. The building is very unique (once an old bank I believe) and offers a great vibe. Drinks are reasonably priced as well!

A stilled and relaxed environment that I think is ideal for study/relaxation time thats also ideal for coffee enthusiasts!

This building is cool, been here a few times. However the guy with the beard and long hair in pony table is unexplainably rude and unfriendly. He didnt make the correct order....I didnt even ask to replace it. When I paid he took my card without telling me the total...just swiped it. Never saw the screen or anything. Never saw a price. Just take your money without a word a smile or anything. Most bizarre and unacceptable coffee shop experience of my life.

Great location in a cool building. Always full with Tulane students studying and people who look like they cant afford wifi. Their coffee is just average. Not a bad place to stop in for coffee if youre in the neighborhood.

A great place to study or meet. Excellent chocolate chip cookies.

Nice shop. The place has a cool look, and the coffee is above average, although they dont really have all of the third-wave bells and whistles. The internet has also been a bit spotty in my experience. All-in-all, a solid cup of coffee in a cool setting.

Love this place! Great espresso drinks with super cool atmosphere. Will be back for sure!

Great spot to be on your computer or to study...Coffee is Awesome too.

Good coffee especially the lattes. They have some of the best blueberry muffins I have ever had in a coffee shop in the New Orleans area. The service is especially slow. Especially if the guy making drinks decides to flirt with every girl in the line. This needs to stop.

Unfriendly and slow service. Three of us just stopped here for a coffee. The lady at the counter was barely polite. She seemed bored and didn’t bother to smile. She took forever to prepare our coffees and got the order wrong. The place is nice with great seating outdoors. The staff is either untrained or demotivated.

Awesome place, cute little Barista, Danielle.... Made everything just what we were looking for. Cant wait to visit again 🤗😍😘

My favorite place in the world. The atmosphere is lovely and conducive to productivity with the classical music always playing. Wide space, not loud, and great coffee.

What initially drew me to visit Rue De La Course was the building itself. The coffee shop used to be an old bank back in the day. I really liked their espresso. Pastries did not seem to enticing but the sandwich menu looked decent. Will try a sandwich next time.Well worth the atmosphere and the espresso.

Good coffee! Because they use French Truck Coffee which is created by coffee lovers for coffee lovers (as long as you like French style coffee...acidic etc). Great environment, good service, barista seem to know what theyre doing. Great place to study/work & sip on some deliciousness... Although the seats are slightly uncomfortable for Tall people...high back that leans in...huh... Still wouldnt stop me from frequenting this place!

Excellent coffee. I like to grab some from here before waiting to board the streetcar.

I live out of town, and stop here every time I travel to N.O. Im not a hipster or uppity in any way, in fact, Im construction worker who barely graduated high school. Ive never had a problem with the service here. Ive always found the people friendly and funny, if a bit dry. Also, people seem to get upset that they dont take credit or debit. There is a big sign right where you order telling you that. If you make it all the way to the counter and order without seeming the sign on the back of the cash register, thats your fault, not theirs. Once again, I go there every time I manage to get to New Orleans. Dont let the negative reviews stop you. Take cash, order a great cappucino, have a seat outside, and watch the streetcars go by!

Delicious coffee including some from local roasters. Great service with a smile. Relaxing and focusing classical music always going. Reliable wifi!

Always great service!!!
