Baldwin & Co.

Beautiful bookstore that is spacious, bright and even has a cute little cafe. Great selection of new books. If you're in the Marigny area check it out!

During our most recent trip to NOLA, we stayed just down the street from this place and decided to stop by in the morning on our way out. I hadn't done any research beforehand, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was also a bookstore! Their selection is fantastic with a strong focus on books by Black authors. Even better, they have a dedicated room you can rent to record podcasts. How cool is that?Everyone in my family loved their coffee, but since I'm not a coffee drinker, I went for the chai and it was delicious. One of my favorite details was their menu. It included descriptions of each tea's health benefits. As an avid tea drinker, I even learned a few things I didn't know. Thank you for educating me!I love supporting small, local businesses, and this spot is definitely worth a visit!!

I finally made it to Baldwin & Co. this place is so perfect! I've been here for book tours and the patio area is nice and a great place to socialize. The cafe is so warm and inviting. I ordered the rose matcha latte hot and it's so good! Got the flavors of both perfectly. I also ordered the egg and cheese croissant it was tasty. Both came to about $14. There's was light music playing Anderson Paak, sza etc playing in the background against the espresso machine. Beautiful artwork. This is def a place to chill! Parking can be tricky, there's street parking so keep that in mind. But if you're visiting it's a quick uber ride from the quarter. Hope you check out this black owned business and support!

Everything about this bookstore is superb. I hate I missed their recent book signing, but I've added a few events to 2025 calendar. The store is beautifully decorated and inviting. I love that there are multiple spaces for working/reading/enjoying the day, including the garden (with fresh lavender?). Their literature selection is vast; from nationally known authors to local gems. I enjoyed the welcoming vibe and Black cultural depictions throughout. I'll be back during every Nola visit.

Favorite coffee in New Orleans by far! Plus an excellent bookstore. I love supporting Black owned businesses.

A beautiful tribute to black literature. When you enter, the sweet and decadent aromas of the coffee shop greet you at the door. There is seating in the front windows and throughout the space. There are a vast number of books, many by black authors. I enjoyed 'If Beale Street Could Talk' drink. It was amazing. This is another reason why I wish I lived on NOLA.

I visited the bookstore to attend Tamron Hall's book talk. I've heard great things about it and was happy to finally see what the fuss was all about.This beautifully decorated book store is so inviting. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Before leaving, I ordered a drink from the coffee bar. The barista was sweet and gave me a great recommendation that I thoroughly enjoyed.The calendar of events has my attention and has given me every reason to come back.Until next time...

After countless NOLA trips, I couldn't tell you why it took me so long to visit this place?! Well, it certainly won't be my last, because the bookshop coffee shop concept is alive and thriving (plus it's within walking distance of one of best beignet spots in the city...don't @ me, I'm from Houston, and I said what I said!)This spot offers so many activities and opportunities to explore and cultivate community connection. Need a caffeine boost, try the coffee. We tried a few coffee based drinks, apart from the coffee lemonade combo, you're in for a treat.If you're a bibliophile, check out their selection of books. It was incredibly refreshing to see the plethora of Black authors, and while they do not carry self-published authors, you're able to order a book for store pickup. If you love books and community, check out the book club or one of their events. As a bonus, they also have a rentable podcast booth. While parking can be challenging, it's certainly worth the visit!

Baldwin is hands down my favorite coffee shop to stop at!Everything from the literature, monthly events, and of course the brew!! Such a lovely + chill spot to get work done or just hang. This spot is black owned, located on Elysian Fields off of St Claude. Customer service has always been so lovely here. Most definitely a 10/10 recommendation!

LOVE LOVE LOVE ! This is what I think of when I think of a modern day café. Everyone inside has their own thing going on but with respect for each other the cashiers / baristas were friendly and helpful. we got to look around at the book selection which a lot of them seemed to POC focused. I loved that each genre was in its own little nook. I also really appreciate the fact that they have a podcast type of room that still lets people look inside. I'm not sure if they do live tapings. I came on a day that it was raining and didn't expect so many people to be inside, but I loved the liveliness of the place, the mural inside is amazing and everybody should see it! Just want to say thank you for giving a semi quiet and mutual respectable place to the community and to travelers. I'm so glad that we found this place walking back from breakfast.
