Share All sharing options for: New Orleans’s Essential Coffee Shops

New Orleans’s independent coffee shop scene has thrived for over a decade, beginning with the arrival of third-wave shops in the 2010s. In the last few years, neighborhood cafes have become increasingly important to their neighborhoods, offering resources like community printers, running their own community fridge , and hosting weekend art markets and pop-ups.

This map, which could be twice as long, covers a sampling of newcomers and longtime favorites. Whether you’re in need of some spiced cold brew, a frozen drink, a pour-over, a cafe au lait, or just a black cup of joe, these shops have you covered.

Did we leave off your favorite coffee shop in New Orleans? Let us know.

Rue De La Course

Rue de la Course is considered by many to be New Orleans’s original coffee house, 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.

Some of the best coffeehouses and cafés to admire in New Orleans

Just blocks from the river is Zotz’s, a mom-and-pop with a cozy, funky vibe. This is no sleek, minimalist modern coffee shop (all the better): the armchairs are cushy, the cavern-like walls are covered with art, and there are books, games, and doo-dads a’ plenty. Grab a pastry with a classic latte or mocha.

Cherry Coffee Roasters

After gaining a following with her pop-up run inside of Stein’s Deli, local barista Lauren Fink opened the Cherry Coffee shop on Laurel in 2016, now an Uptown favorite, and a second shop two years later. She’s also since launched her own local roasting operation, but still sometimes features guest roasters.

The Station Coffee Shop & Bakery

This Mid-City joint is easy to spot from the street with its unusual architecture, but it's what's inside that makes it a must-try. Sweet and savory baked goods made in-house accompany a robust coffee menu, with espresso drinks, Chemex and V60 pourovers. Everything's made with high quality products in house, so you can't go wrong. As a bonus, it’s one of few shops in town that makes it’s own chai blend.

Church Alley Coffee Bar

Church Alley is a charming community-driven cafe in Mid-City, one that consistently shows up in a big way for its neighborhood. It’s also vastly expanded its food offerings, which include beet and apple salad, tahini avocado toast, and smoked ham and cheddar scones, as well as monthly drink specials.

Sacred Grinds

This cozy coffee shop is located between two of New Orleans’s historic cemeteries: Odd Fellow’s Rest and St. Patrick’s. A fenced-in patio overlooks marble mausoleums — inside, the living feast on vegan doughnuts, coffee cake, and vegan zucchini tamales, sipping on lattes and Americanos. Sacred Grinds is haunted and proud of it.

Undergrowth Coffee

Opened in 2021, Undergrowth is one of the city’s newest coffee shops, though you wouldn’t know it from the store’s loyal slew of customers. The friendly, sustainably-minded couple behind the Magazine Street shop serve single-origin roasts from Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Nicaragua; creative, seasonal espresso and matcha drinks; and seriously good food, including the burrito, sweet potato hummus, and whipped honey goat and cheddar grilled cheese.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Undergrowth Coffee (@undergrowthcoffee)

The Bean Gallery

The Bean Gallery is a longtime Mid-City favorite serving Turkish coffee and specialty teas, outlasting many of the shops that have come and gone over the years. It’s open early and closes late, and there’s lots of seating indoors and out to enjoy drinks and the relatively large food menu of paninis, bagel sandwiches, avocado toast, and sweets.

CR Coffee Shop

Coast Roast Coffee, first started in St. Roch Market, has grown with its own roasting operation, an outpost Uptown on Magazine Street (with a particularly pleasant patio out front), and a new location in Metairie. Find exceptionally creative drinks, fun breakfast pop-ups on the weekend, and a vast menu of grab-and-go food items at all times.

Coffee Science

New Orleans coffee vet Tom Oliver opened  Coffee Science   on S. Broad near the courthouse at the beginning of 2018 , joining a growing number of new businesses in the area. While primarily about world-class coffee, the shop also serves pastries, sandwiches, and salads, as well as a revival of a few of Kaldi’s most popular iced coffee drinks. Coffee Science consistently hosts the best pop-ups in the city on Sundays.

Hey! expertly roasts and brews coffee manually, boasting a “temperature profiling system,” makes its own chai, and serves bagels, pastries,  and breakfast tacos.

Park Island Brew

Park Island Brew is a newer favorite, opened in 2020 on Gentilly Boulevard by Kevin Davis and business partner Chachera Brantley. The lovely corner building has become a neighborhood gathering place for its intricate espresso drinks — like the new rosemary lavender shakerato — and sweet treats.

Mammoth Espresso

This sunny Warehouse District shop from Jonathan Riethmaier, co-founder of the New Orleans Barista Social Club, boasts a Seraphim in-counter brewing system with automated pour-overs and specialty drinks. Mammoth is now a roaster as well, with plans for an upcoming roasting facility and expanded cafe. The tea program is one of the best in town.

Envie Espresso Bar & Cafe

There are tons of coffee houses in and around the French Quarter, but this place is a true New Orleans classic. Often raucous, always colorful, and sometimes less than savory,  Envie  draws a very loyal crowd, in part due to its rare late hours — it’s open until 11 p.m. — and outdoor seating, great for French Quarter people-watching.

The Orange Couch

A Marigny longtimer beloved by its neighborhood, Orange Couch is a bright, modern spot that attracts a mix of artists, students, retirees, tourists, and writers (it’s a favorite of hometown hero and famed author Maurice Carlos Ruffin). There’s a handful of sidewalk tables and a takeout window on Royal Street, making it a great option for a coffee with friends or grabbing something for a stroll in the pretty Marigny.

Who Dat Coffee Cafe

This corner shop is a longtime local favorite in the Marigny; fondly heralded for its friendly and funky atmosphere and for serving an excellent hot breakfast in addition to quality coffee and espresso drinks. Sit in one of three cozy rooms inside or on the raised sidewalk seating — all offer a pleasant setting. Love that this shop also serves mimosas and other drinks, if you’re done with coffee for the day.

Pond Coffee

Pond Coffee is for the real coffee heads —an if-you-know-you-know kind of place. The sweet stand was opened by two baristas in 2020, connected to Small Mart’s beloved corner shop located on the border of the Marigny and Bywater. It’s popular for chai, matcha, lavender lattes, and cappuccinos, made exclusively with oat milk. Small Mart is a must-try for food, even if just a cookie or pastry, but the vegetarian Indian-inspired menu and bagel sandwiches are worth a separate visit.

Pontilly Coffee

This neighborhood coffee shop with a mission (it raises money for  Bethel Family House , a faith-based addiction recovery center), serves kolaches — nola-ches — pastries, breakfast sandwiches, frappes, and coffee drinks in one of the friendliest atmospheres in town (it’s also wheelchair accessible, not a guarantee in New Orleans). As a major bonus, it’s open late, until 9 p.m. daily.

The 10 Best Hotels in New Orleans

From editor-loved properties to T+L award-winning stays, we’ve got you covered.

riverboat coffee new orleans

We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation. Learn more .

Hotel Saint Vincent

While it has a reputation for live music, parades, and general merriment, New Orleans has a complex identity that blatantly refuses to be placed into just one box. Instead, it thrives on an energy fueled by its residents' creativity, passion, and love of a good story; the only constant is its dynamism and dedication to preserving the past. This spirited thrum also extends to its top-tier hotels. Outside of their commitment to providing the level of hospitality synonymous with the South, no two properties are alike.

On one end of the spectrum, there are the five-star giants, like the Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans and The Roosevelt, that whole-heartedly embrace the Big Easy’s larger-than-life personality. On the other end, you have the fashionable boutique properties — there’s a good chance you’ve seen photos from Hotel Peter & Paul or The Chloe — that radiate the romance, glamor, and slower pace that make New Orleans one of the best cities in the South. And in between, you’ll find a sweep of characterful accommodations that keep the city’s history at the forefront of the narrative.

Whatever your inclination, we’ve rounded up a list of the very best hotels in New Orleans, based on a combination of editor-loved properties, first-hand experience, and winners from T+L’s World’s Best Awards and It List . With each of these top-quality stays, you can expect sublime service, sumptuous accommodations, and eclectic dining options to suit every taste and style.

Whether you’re headed to the Crescent City for the first time or you simply can’t get enough of its unique brand of magic, read on for the best hotels in New Orleans.

The Windsor Court

Windsor Court Hotel

The dining options within the hotel are destinations in and of themselves.

It veers more toward traditional than trendy.

The Windsor Court consistently receives high marks from T+L readers in the World’s Best Awards, most recently in 2022 and 2023. It’s an elegant property — complete with an afternoon tea service — that checks nearly every box. Starting from the top: there’s the 65-foot saltwater rooftop pool and accompanying bar, which both act as excellent reprieves from the stifling summer heat.

As for dining, for larger, less casual meals, you have a few options. There’s The Grill Room, Le Salon (where the aforementioned tea is served), and the “elevated pub fare” at The Polo Club. Most travelers come to New Orleans for the music scene, and the latter location answers the call with nightly jazz performances by local musicians. The guest rooms and suites won’t leave you wanting, either; the decor exudes femininity without feeling too precious, and the Diptyque amenities provide an additional swanky touch to the setting.

The Details:

  • Neighborhood: Central Business District
  • Distance from Airport: 15 miles from MSY
  • Nearby Attractions: Riverwalk Outlets, Lafayette Square, Preservation Hall, d.b.a
  • Accessibility: There are ADA-compliant guest rooms
  • Rates: From $297 per night
  • Parking: Yes, $53 (plus tax) per night

Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

The Old No. 77 Hotel and Chandlery

The nightly rates are relatively affordable.

If you’re in the market for classic luxury, consider another property.

In a city of intense hues, heavy fabrics, and French architecture, Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery is a breath of fresh air. Formerly a warehouse, the building now houses 167 guest rooms (notable for their exposed brick walls and wooden floors) and a couple of dining destinations.

Compère Lapin is a particularly exciting restaurant on property, as its menu is developed by chef Nina Compton. In the mornings, Tout La is an excellent pick; take your coffee and pastries to go as you set out to experience nearby attractions like Lafayette Square and the Riverwalk Outlets. There’s also the option to rent bikes through the hotel, in case you want to explore further than your legs will allow. This property also earned a spot on our World’s Best Awards list in 2021.

The Details: 

  • Neighborhood: Warehouse Arts District
  • Distance from Airport: 14.5 miles from MSY
  • Nearby Attractions : St. Patrick’s Church, The National World War II Museum, Audubon Aquarium
  • Accessibility : The hotel has ADA-compliant guest rooms (35-inch passages through doors, roll-in showers, ADA phone kits, and closed captioning on TVs) and elevator access to meeting rooms and the registration area. There are accessible public entrances to guest rooms and the food and beverage areas. 
  • Rates: From $92 per night
  • Parking: Self-parking, $33 plus tax per car, per night for 24 hours

The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel

William James Photography

Location, location, location — it’s just a quick walk to the French Quarter, New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood.

The room decor is nice, but it lacks the originality found in the rest of the hotel.

The outdoor rooftop pool might be the selling point at The Roosevelt, but there are several other factors that keep its guests returning to this luxe location. Its size is certainly a plus for some travelers; reservations at the 504-room property can also earn points for Hilton Honors members.

The gilded lobby, accented by marble and crystal chandeliers, is like stepping back in time. Another can’t-miss pocket of history within the hotel is the Sazerac Bar. It’s here where two drinks, the Sazerac and the Ramos Gin Fizz, were said to originate, so there’s a level of mystique that comes with cocktail hour at The Roosevelt. Historic it may be, but this is a hotel that continues to maintain relevance with travelers making their way to New Orleans; T+L readers voted the hotel as one of the best in the city in the 2023 World’s Best Awards.

  • Neighborhood: One block west of the French Quarter
  • Distance from Airport: 16.2 miles from MSY
  • Nearby Attractions: Bourbon Street, French Market, Jackson Square, Harrah’s Casino
  • Accessibility: The hotel has guest rooms with mobility features and doors with 32 inches of clear width; the hotel restaurant, registration desk, swimming pool, and routes to the guest rooms, exercise facilities, spa, and swimming pool are accessible.
  • Rates: From $400 per night
  • Wi-Fi: $14.95 for standard in-room and lobby WiFi
  • Parking: Valet parking, $53.00 per night

Columns Hotel

The guest-only second-floor outdoor porch is made for slow New Orleans mornings.

Past guests have noted there may be a few bumps associated with an older building — it was built in 1882, after all.

As you’d expect from the hotel’s name, grand white columns welcome the guests of this 2021 It List recipient. This regal romanticism doesn’t stop there, though; the restored private home, now a family-owned hotel, radiates beauty and grandeur everywhere from its bar (the Sazerac comes highly recommended) to its personality-filled guest rooms and outdoor seating beneath magnolia trees and other lush greenery. If you’re searching for a picturesque New Orleans moment, you’ll certainly find it here — especially as you watch the St. Charles Avenue Streetcars cruise by.

  • Neighborhood: Uptown
  • Distance from Airport: 13.4 miles from MSY
  • Nearby Attractions: St. Charles Avenue Streetcar, Lafayette Cemetery, Commander's Palace
  • Accessibility: The hotel does have an elevator to its guest rooms (all located on the second and third floors), but the front desk tells T+L they don’t recommend anyone take the elevator due to its age and potential to malfunction.
  • Rates: From $267 per night
  • Parking: Street parking

Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans

Four Seasons Hotels

It’s home to the largest hotel pool in New Orleans.

There’s a bit of character within the hotel, but not as much as you’d find in a smaller, boutique property.

Four Seasons may be a well-known hotel brand, but the New Orleans location didn’t hit the scene until late 2021, a moment soon followed by features on the It List 2022 and the 2023 World’s Best Awards. The towering skyscraper overlooks the Mississippi River, and its best views can be found on the 33rd- and 34th-floor observation decks.

The guest rooms are in line with other Four Seasons properties — excellent bed linens, fluffy towels, tech-forward features, and an overall comfortable, modern feel. Where the hotel leans into the New Orleans-specific lifestyle, however, is The Chandelier Bar (you can’t miss the 15,000-crystal chandelier), Miss River’s regional menu, and the oyster bar at Chemin à la Mer.

Hotel Peter & Paul

Rooms are outfitted with antique pieces, creating a slightly different guest experience depending on which one you book.

The neighborhood is a bit of a walk from the French Quarter and other popular tourist sites.

There are a few reasons Hotel Peter & Paul landed on the It List 2019 and continues to be a bucket-list hotel in the Big Easy. Visually, it doesn’t get any more impressive than this 71-room property. Devised by ASH NYC, the buildings feature a range of patterns, textures, and materials, yet each design choice is perfectly placed and weaved together to create a faultless (and almost fantastical) setting.

There’s gingham, florals, gilded frames, bright reds, marigold shades, and wooden staircases that certainly have stories of their own. This same theme continues throughout the common spaces — in The Elysian Bar, where you can enjoy lunch and dinner; Side Chapel Café, where you’ll find coffee and baked goods; and the third-floor lounge with its whimsical trompe-l’oeil mural.

  • Neighborhood: Marigny
  • Distance from Airport: 16.5 miles from MSY
  • Nearby attractions: JAMNOLA, Studio Be, Frenchmen St.
  • Accessibility: The hotel’s ground floor buildings are ADA accessible; seven guest rooms are specially adapted.
  • Rates: From $159 per night
  • Parking: On-site self-parking, between $10 and $16 per night

The common spaces are wholly unique and pleasant to be in.

It’s a smaller property, with just 75 rooms, which makes for a more intimate experience compared to larger hotels where guests might remain more anonymous.

Since opening in 2021, Hotel Saint Vincent has earned several accolades, including a spot on the It List in 2022 and the top position in the 2023 World’s Best Awards. New to the hotel landscape, yes, but the 75-room property is actually housed in a restored building with roots dating back to 1861 — and there’s a tangible sense of place mixed in with Texas hotelier Liz Lambert’s bold style choices.

The general vibe is a bit boho, a bit Southern gothic, and it’s the kind of hotel where you instantly feel at ease. And if you can’t shake that last little bit of work stress ahead of your weekend? Head to the lobby bar, Paradise Lounge, for a Saint Vincent Spritz or Italian Margarita. Breakfast at San Lorenzo, the on-property restaurant, is another highlight, as is the hotel’s fashion and lifestyle boutique, ByGeorge, and the swimming pool surrounded by striped chaise lounge chairs.

  • Neighborhood: Lower Garden District
  • Nearby Attractions: Coliseum Square Park, Lower Garden District, Magazine Street
  • Accessibility: There are ADA-approved guest rooms
  • Rates: From $295 per night
  • Parking: Free off-street parking

Maison de la Luz

The selection of wine, cheeses, charcuterie, and fresh fruit laid out every night creates a cozy atmosphere that feels more akin to one you’d expect when visiting a friend.

The average nightly rate runs a bit steep compared to other properties on our list.

As a property that does the near-impossible — creates an atmosphere that feels as interesting as it does luxurious — Maison de la Luz has earned several awards for its role in the New Orleans hospitality scene. In 2020, it hit the It List, only to continue its forward momentum with a win in the 2023 World’s Best Awards.

Mornings at this 67-room hotel are some of the most memorable aspects of an overnight stay. First, you can request a pot of coffee delivered directly to your room. Once you’re at least partially caffeinated, make your way to the Breakfast Room, where an à la carte menu featuring items like waffles, avocado toast, and frittatas awaits. Complimentary iced tea comes next; it’s the perfect pick-me-up before a day of sightseeing around the city.

  • Distance from Airport: 13.3 miles from MSY
  • Nearby Attractions: Caesars Superdome, Smoothie King Center, Bourbon Street, Museum of Death
  • Accessibility: The hotel has accessible public spaces — the guest house has a mobile ramp — and select guest rooms have lowered coat hangers and light switches, roll-in showers, and bars throughout the bathroom. Restrooms have grasp bars and lower vanity sinks, and there is Braille signage in the public areas and guest rooms. Guests can also request hearing-impaired kits.
  • Rates: From $425 per night
  • Parking: Valet parking, $50 plus tax per night

The outdoor pool and umbrella-protected lounge chairs are at the center of the backyard oasis.

It’s in a quieter neighborhood; you won’t find the noise (or the excitement) of the French Quarter here.

With only 14 guest rooms, The Chloe is the smallest hotel on our list — but that only means its excellence is more concentrated within the property. Like many other boutique hotels in New Orleans, the building has a long history. Once a 19th-century family home, it inevitably had various identities before evolving into an award-winning hotel (The Chloe was featured in the 2021 It List).

Now when travelers make their way to its St. Charles Ave address, they’re embarking on an indulgent adventure defined by handwoven robes, complimentary breakfast, daily turndown service, and thoughtful — and often locally made — touches around every corner. There’s a very good chance you’ll want to delay checkout as long as possible.

  • Distance from Airport: 13.7 miles from MSY
  • Nearby Attractions: Garden District, St. Charles Streetcar, Audubon Park
  • Accessibility: There are two ADA-compliant guest rooms and an elevator
  • Rates: From $294 per night
  • Parking : Free on-street parking

Pontchartrain Hotel

The Pontchartrain Hotel

It’s a property with history, style, and a good location; plus, you can usually find decent nightly rates.

Price-conscious travelers should watch out for breakfast, parking, and in-room water bottle charges inflating the final bill.

The Pontchartrain Hotel earned its place on T+L’s It List in 2017, and it’s maintained its reputation in recent years; in fact, it also landed a place on our World’s Best Awards list in 2022.

Everything about this Garden District property was designed to keep its guests comfortable, highlight its history in the neighborhood , and — as you can tell by the number of places to grab a drink within the hotel — provide both visitors and locals with a refreshing beverage, whether it’s on the lively rooftop or in the cozy tavern-style bar. The former, Hot Tin, is billed as a “1940s artist-inspired space,” while the latter, The Bayou Bar, is said to have been a “drinking den” for Truman Capote and Frank Sinatra. If you can fit them into your itinerary, both are worth a visit during your stay.

  • Neighborhood: Garden District
  • Distance from Airport: 13.5 miles from MSY
  • Nearby Attractions: Magazine Street, Southern Food and Beverage Museum, Mardi Gras parade route
  • Accessibility: There are several ADA-compliant rooms — with wider doors, visual alarms, and accessible bathrooms — in the hotel
  • Rates: From $164 per night
  • Parking: Valet parking, $44 per night

Know Before You Go

Expect higher prices around mardi gras.

Spring is peak season in New Orleans ; with celebrations like Mardi Gras and the Jazz & Heritage Festival marking the calendar, you can expect higher prices around this time of year. If you’re planning to visit from February through early May, try to book your accommodations and activities as far in advance as possible. Alternatively, you may be able to find deals in the off-season — July, August, December, and January typically see more affordable hotel rates.

The best way to get around is on foot

One of the best parts of New Orleans is its walkability. Its historic neighborhoods, like the French Quarter and the Garden District, are easily explored on foot or by street car. Some areas are better reached by Uber or Lyft, though, especially if the heat and humidity are particularly oppressive. Of course, the lack of an open-container law means you can carry a drink with you while you walk (just be sure it isn’t in a glass or bottle).

Consider hurricane season

When booking a trip to New Orleans, you need to have an understanding of hurricane season and how weather may affect your travels. Hurricane season starts in June and runs through late November, although peak activity occurs from late August to early September. If you do decide to visit during this time of the year, make sure to monitor the weather and stay up-to-date on any potential storms.

As always, each hotel recommendation comes with the guarantee that the property aligns with our core T+L Hotel Values .
