Coffee and staff are great - the clientele, not so much. For some reason this coffee shop attracts wannabe philosophers who converse at the top of their lungs about topics of which they have no real grasp. That said, the coffee is phenomenal and the WiFi is super fast.

Funky, adorable coffeehouse. It is a bit off the beaten path but worth a visit if you are trying to experience the city. Appears to be a popular hangout for the locals. We ordered the cold brew and were not disappointed. The second time I came, I tried the lavender honey syrup and I am still craving it. Guess I'm going to have to visit NOLA again soon. Or move there?

The Cafe is really cute, and the employee we interacted with was really interesting! We ordered a cold brew and an organic tea and it was pretty good! A lot of pastries to choose from, and a lot to select for organic tea too! The indoor area can be a bit cold (it was also because I was sort of sitting at the area where the aircon blew), but there is an outdoor area and it also looks super nice!

Love this coffee shop. Interesting historic fairgrounds building and excellent fair trade coffee. The French press for two is great for a morning coffee date. Also the buttermilk drops are heavenly.

Fair Grinds always has good coffee. Their Morning Glory bars are awesome too. They offer vegetarian and vegan items that you can choose from too. There is indoor, balcony and covered outdoor seating There are things for children to play with outside and they sell random books for $2.00 in the shop. They also have free wifi.

I've been coming here for the better part of my entire life. I have to say that it's one of my favorite spots to sit and drink coffee in the city. Is there better coffee in the city? Perhaps. But you won't really find a place like this. I really love this place, one of the best to grab a coffee and sit outside and enjoy.

This coffee shop is wonderful. I always visit when I’m in town. It’s in my old neighborhood and I have always loved it. It’s really old school but at the same time they always have new options, like now they have vegan and gluten free pastries. It’s in an old house and that fits because it feels like home. It’s a warm environment and comfortable atmosphere, and the coffee is pretty good. Good job ya’ll.

I've been coming here for years. I've seen the same group of regulars meeting here daily, enjoying average-to-a-little-above-average coffee and not-very-great sweet/savory selection in a sweet, modest, clean, slightly-but-not-too-funky space in a lovely neighborhood. It's a strange combination for me: nothing about this place is great: but it all ads up to something greater and more special than its parts.

Absolutely love this place! My friend and I were traveling from out of state and found it on google. The coffee is excellent, all the staff is friendly and helpful, and the feel of the whole place is very comfortable. Especially loved the roof patio where we could catch some rays. We made it a point to return here during all 4 days of our stay in New Orleans!
