Avenue Cafe

I come here about once a month, and my needs are pretty simple so this place works well. I always get drip coffee, which taste fine, they have a variety of milk to choose from and that's always cool to see. And I get some kind of croissant, usually the almond because they have good ones with almond paste in them. it's a little pricey maybe, but they're trying to survive on St Charles and so I get it. I don't have a problem with that.Understand if people have more complex needs and more specific orders than this and that. But as a simple coffee shop to get a nice sugary carbohydrate with caffeine, it's great.

Let me tell you a little story about this place. It's a fun and artisty little coffee spot with a decent loaded menu of snacks and lite meal options. The staff was friendly and attentive. The shop was clean each time we came here. Yup, we hit this place up 3 days in a row. Coffee was tasty and hit the spot rightly in our bellies. The delicious food was filling but didn't over deliver, leaving you with stuffed brain. Prices were reasonable and affordable. This place is cute and should be experienced if you're in the area.

When traveling, I always try and find a bagel with vegan cream cheese. It was pretty hard to find in New Orleans, but Avenue Cafe delivered with a tasty vegan breakfast sandwich and even better that it was paired with a bloody mary! The staff were all very friendly!

Avenue Cafe is a great local coffee shop. You can sit enjoy your food an people watch or grab and go. They offer an nice selection of breakfast items and pastries. I give them bonus points for offering a vegan bagel sandwich that is very tasty! Pro tip: there is only one restroom so if seeing folks line up to use the facilities is annoying to you, don't sit near the coffee station because you will have a prime seat to anxious folks doing the pee-pee dance.

So, the Wife and I decided to try this local spot about two minutes from our hotel. I have found myself amazed by establishments here in New Orleans that don't look like much from the outside but are gems on the inside. This establishment is no different. It is very clean and laid-back, and the staff is very friendly. We had the vegan bagel sandwiches, and they were awesome. I had the Chai Tea with Oak Milk and while it was pretty good it could have been a little hotter. We will visit again whenever we are in the Crescent City. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, my Friends!!

Updated review: I frequent this place somewhat often, but I do not like that the tip option on the card machine has changed. It does not let you do a custom tip and forces you to do 15% + or no tip. I try to bring cash with me but I don't always have that on hand. As much as I would love to tip 15-25% to the staff- I can't afford that (especially coming from food & beverage myself.) It is not full service so 15-25% is a lot when you're ordering more than just a drip coffee. I LOVE the granola fruit bowl here, and the coffee dressing station is the BEST. Latte only comes in one size which is kind of annoying when you have people ordering who don't understand coffee in america is super sized. My brother loves the croissant sand-which, and chai tea. All in all, once you find what you like and bring cash to tip - it's a pretty good time.

I love seeing books as soon as I walked into the café. They have a large selection of pastries and hot cold beverages. The first day I ordered their green smoothie and it was quite tasty. I came back the second day and ordered a dirty Matcha latte with oat milk. All the employees there were so friendly and welcoming. The place was very clean including the bathroom. Each time I went there was a line, but it went by quite quickly. Clearly this is a neighborhood favorite.

Great food, reasonable prices and good atmosphere!I stopped in here while traveling for work and was impressed. Service was great, they bring the food to your table if you are dining in which was nice.My only complaint was that the WiFi password wasn't posted and had to ask for it.

Great coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Became our new NOLA favorite morning spot. Highly recommend the croissant sandwich or bagel sandwich.

Superb coffee and treats. We had to start a day here every day of our trip to New Orleans. Literally loved everything we tried. At times some of the staff were a bit dull, but the food and drink made up for it. The Irish iced coffee is a must try. We needed up but a bag of the coffee they use for their ice coffee (New Orleans coffee and chickery) and it is fantastic as well
