The staff is super nice, always willing to explain options I don't understand not being a big coffee/tea connoisseur. The Orange Spice iced tea is delicious. The bagel with chive cream cheese and smoked salmon is my favorite. They give you 10 cents off your drink if you bring your own cup and you only need to buy 8 cups to earn a free one with their loyalty card unlike most places where it's 10.
Still Perkin' (Coffee/Tea). Still Perkin', right away, gets my early vote for best coffee in the Garden District, if not all of New Orleans. The drinks are excellent, affordable, and served with a smile. An array of delectable pastries and cookies are available for purchase. The whole restaurant has a very appealing Pacific Northwest feel, one I deeply adore after years in Seattle and Portland. One of the best offerings is a simple iced mocha. With a dash of cinnamon from the condiment bar, the beverage is chocolatey, spiced, and refreshing. Another top choice is the Caffe Au Lait. Though it strays from tradition, the drink is frothy and delicious, and is an excellent choice to down on a rare cold day in the South.
Rating: 7.8/10
Perfect local place for an espresso.. Great hidden place that is full of locals. Around the corner from Commander's Palace and a quite old and picturesque cemetery, it is the perfect place to blend in to the local scene and relax with an espresso. I have not had the baked goods, but the coffee is great! And the atmosphere is laid back and nice.
Try their iced coffee- just do it.. As an unapologetic coffee addict, I have to say that this is THE BEST iced coffee I have EVER had. Large Iced with soy milk will run you about $3.61, but it is money well spent. Also, get a frequent buyer card your first time there... because, trust me, you will be back.
Also they take credit, they serve food- provided the menu is limited, and they have free wifi.
What is not to love?
Delicious fruit salad with poppy seed dressing!
Sunday Morning treat. My husband and I enjoyed a Sunday morning coffee, a chai tea and bagels at this delightful uptown coffee shop. We felt we were part of a classy clientèle in a pleasant atmosphere.
Best iced mochas. I am not a sweet coffee beverage fan, prefering my cup of joe to be dark, with chicory, drunk black. Only Still Perkin's iced mocha can draw me away from my everyday cup of coffee.
Very cute coffee shop. If buying something they have a bathroom. So when the one i. The Rink is busy go in buy a pastry and a cup of Joe.
We are in this coffee shop frequently and have been for several years. The staff is very nice. The drinks are good. The food is good. Everything is reasonably priced. As an Orleanian, I can tell you that we are rarely rude. We are never rude without a good reason. We love having you visit our city. We only ask that you respect our culture and bring your manners with you when you come.
Never even thought of getting a coffee here until a twist of fate rerouted my normal drive to work....well, I learned that the coffee is great, the price is fair, and the staff were polite and cordial. It’s not a “cookie cutter corporate” style, rather a very comfortable New Orleans atmosphere with lots of options. Impressively curated, very clean, and a really pleasant experience.
I completely recommend this place.
Cafe au lait with chicory added was delicious. I also got the pumpkin muffin which was WONDERFUL. Yum.
Best bagel in the city! I recommend the everything bagel with house-made chive cream cheese. Always friendly staff and a great environment to sip your coffee in peace or get some work done. Great neighborhood spot and popular with visitors taking tours in the area.
This is one of my favorite coffee shops in the city. They get you moving through the line quickly. It's a great spot for people watching and is located in a beautiful spot on the corner of Washington and Prytania. Coffee is good. Love the loyalty card.
This coffee shop located in the garden district just a block from New Orleans Cemetery #1. Very nice place to sit and rest and enjoy a nice cup of coffee after a stroll through the cemetery. Prices are comparable to any other coffee shop. Nice assortment of sweets to go with your coffee but no beignets.
The Garden District has few businesses, luckily this centrally located coffee shop is a good one. Great selection of teas and coffees. Also souvenirs, and useful stuff like umbrellas for the many visitors to this historic neighborhood. Just a block from the streetcar, and Cattycorner from Lafayette Cemetery. Additionally, it's the hangout of many important locals, writers, and historians.
Stopped in had a great capuchin. About a hour later I get a phone call from Josh that I had left my wallet with a lot of cash in it. Not only did they call me they waited after closing for me to come and pick it up. I'm on vacation from Cape coral Florida and my vacation would have been ruined if not for the honesty and integrity of the workers here.
I got a great cup of coffee and a lesson that the world has hope after all.
Thank you
CLEAN BATHROOM. Came in for the bathroom. Other reviewers must have been here during PEAK times. Today it was very clean, soap and hand sanitizer available. The coffee is good, and pastries are ok.
