Pontilly Coffee

Pontilly Coffee Shop is an amazing locals spot offering a delightful combination of great coffee, delicious breakfast and pastries, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I tried the Pontilly Latte, and it's a perfect choice for the fall season. The blend of cinnamon and honey creates a comforting, subtly sweet flavor that hits just right. The Breakfast Plate is an unbeatable deal at $9.99. It includes creamy grits (with the option for cheese), eggs cooked your way, choice of meat (the hot sausage is my go-to), and a buttery biscuit that melts in your mouth. The portion sizes are generous, making it a satisfying and affordable meal. The vibe is cozy and family-friendly, with uplifting gospel and Christian music playing in the background. The staff is exceptionally welcoming and friendly, adding to the inviting ambiance. The decor is great, featuring a variety of beautiful artwork that creates a visually pleasing and homely environment. Pontilly Coffee Shop is perfect for a relaxing Sunday morning. Whether you're stopping by for a coffee or a full meal, you'll leave feeling full, satisfied, and uplifted. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I stumbled on this gem while killing time in Gentilly. The first thing she said was "this place is cute!" And it is! Very cutesy homey feeling coffee shop. The staff is very friendly and everyone greets you as soon as you walk in the door. We ordered a NOLAche, buttermilk drop, apple juice and latte. All were great! We will definitely be going back - it we lived closer, we would be regulars!

Pontilly was on fire today. I ordered the shrimp and grits, breakfast sandwich, and chocolate chunk cookie. Everything was delicious. I can't always say that, because, in full transparency, sometimes it's hit or miss. Food:Shrimp and grits: 10/10; they add bacon, cheese and jalapeños to their version, and I don't think I've ever seen these three ingredients in other versions I've tried. Delicious!Chocolate chunk cookie: 10/10; I don't remember having this before, and I've tried mostly all of their desserts. If I had it before, it wasn't memorable, but this one was deelish.Breakfast sandwich: 9/10; I had the breakfast sausage, egg and cheese on croissant. OMG! It was off the chain, and reminded me of the sausage/egg/cheese McMuffin from McDonald's. The sausage and egg were well seasoned. I initially thought the croissant was on the smaller side, but at $4.50, it was fair. Service:Service was good. The cashier was nice, and I received my food within minutes. Ambience:I think most people come for the ambience. It's a great place to hang out. Super friendly, casual, and spacious. Great vibes here.

This place is the bomb! The cats meow! I had the bacon, egg and cheddar biscuit with pomegranate hibiscus iced tea! The service was spot on! Super helpful and friendly. Made suggestions as it was my first time. The place itself is so dang cute especially the backyard garden seating area! Felt like I was in another world! So nice! Great place to come get coffee and dessert!

Amazing drinks and food. Great atmosphere. Incredible people. Pontilly is a hidden treasure in Gentilly!

I'm always looking for a cool coffee shop. Found it! And they have a really cool outdoor sitting area. Oh, and did I say my breakfast crossiant was really good? Yep I will be back.

Great coffee, great food, great people. The garden area outside is super nice as well.

Okay, I don't know why my phone decided to take terrible pictures, but here we are...This coffee shop is AMAZAAAAAZING! The coffee is a solid 9/10. The food selections are top tier. Their smoked Turkey salad is absolutely delicious. It's not heavy on mayo at all (thank God) with the perfect hint of sweetness. It's so good! I'd go back just for that. Their chocolate croissant is buttery, chocolatey, light, and easy to take down. They have a pretty good selection of food and drinks. The interior is also gorgeous. Very "hip" and aesthetically pleasing (at least to me). Free Wi-Fi. Honestly a great place to get some work done in the evening. Customer service is great!Finallly, their patio is stunning. It's so pretty. It's like a huge garden with seating. I can't wait to go back to grab a seat out there!!!

This was my first time visiting Pontilly Coffee. I looooove the vibes...great atmosphere. The staff were very welcoming and the customers were also upbeat and friendly with one another. Services were quick and efficient! Only reason I give it a 4 star is because of my butter croissant It was extremely hard and there were blue markings on it. Not sure what it was from.
