Name: Cafe Envie (no web page) Location: 1241 Decatur Street, New Orleans, LA Rating: 2+

The last stop on my coffee tour of New Orleans was Cafe Envie. I had higher hopes for the coffee here based on the reasonably good things my brother had told me about their operation. In full-disclosure, my brother, a new Orleans resident, [...]

Name: CC’s Community Coffee House Location: 941 Royal Street, New Orleans, LA (and other Louisiana locations) Rating: 2

Of all the cafes I visited in the French Quarter during my visit to New Orleans, CC’s Community Coffee House most closely resembles what I imagine people have come to expect in a cafe, given the influence of Starbucks. I don’t [...]

For my first foray into New Orleans coffee, I managed to convince my family to convene one morning at La Boucherie. Part of my motivation was the hearty, fairly tasty breakfast that La Boucherie allegedly served. It was be the perfect start to our [...]

We ate some great food including beignets at Cafe Du Monde, [...]
