Check out some of our favorite coffee roasters in New Orleans below
Cafe Envie – French Quarter
Envie is a French Quarter staple. Their late-night hours and quick but yummy food has sustained the French Quarter inhabitants for years. You have two locations to choose from, but the spot on Lower Decatur is our fave.

Sacred Grinds – Mid City
If you follow the Canal St. streetcar line all the way to the end and get off in front of the cemeteries, you’ll stumble upon New Orleans’ favorite spooky themed coffee shop. Sacred Grinds is attached to an herbal & head shop, so you can peruse some holistic goodies while waiting for your coffee to brew.

Spitfire – French Quarter
Spitfire is – quite literally – a hole in the wall in the French Quarter. If you weren’t looking for it, you might miss the narrow entrance on St. Peter’s. This in-and-out place is perfect for long days spent exploring the Quarter.
