Rue De La Course

Nice place to study! Free WiFi and windows with natural lighting. Nice interior old bank. I like people watching the cars and seeing the outdoors. CBD bagel $9.95 - ham, turkey, bacon, cheddar, dressed. was good! Potato salad - also pretty good. Has a touch of mayoCappuccino $4.10I read other reviews that they don't have the pricing on the menu, so I included it on the things I got. I'd say pretty reasonable.I liked that there's an upstairs study section, but it was a little warm. At least there were ceiling fans. Ample seating. Limited outlets.Parking: difficult street parking, parked 2 blocks away and walked

I love that Yelp functions as a bit of an online diary for me. I visited Rue de la Course yesterday for the first time in years and today I looked up my old review which is from 13 years ago. I'm thankful for the review update feature because although in Rue's case not much has changed (still has that gorgeous soaring space in an old bank, still has phenomenal coffee drinks), I saw that back then they were staunchly cash-only. Now you can use cards. And while that's probably old news by now, I feel like writing an update because I have so much nostalgia for this coffee shop. I used to visit their former locations in the Quarter and on Magazine decades ago. I still treasure my old Rue mug, too!I appreciate their variety of non dairy milks and yes, they have oat. My small iced double oat latte was delicious from first sip to last (their espresso is nutty rather than bright, which I prefer). Plenty of seats inside, but it was a nice day, so we sat outside with its views of bustling Oak St. and lush, tree-lined Carrollton Ave. The perfect afternoon in NOLA can be had here.

I've passed this place many times so I finally stopped in for an hour to work and have a matcha. It's really cool because the place used to be a bank. Who knew that old banks make cozy coffee houses. The barista was upbeat and sweet. My iced matcha came out very quickly and my muffin was ready right away. Both were pretty tasty and did what I needed them to do. I plan to come here more often.

Beautiful inside!!!!! They grind their own beans and bake their pastries in house (also offer large selection of local flavored syrups). Environment was very welcoming and building just has that old time charm. Can't wait to go back. P.S., don't forget to pay for your street parking- unless it's Sunday.

Took a trolley ride to find some coffee. The cashier was helpful in choosing. Tasted good to me. And strong just the way I like it.

This is such a delightful coffee house. The indoor and outdoor seating lets you enjoy your visit how you see fit. When I order coffee, I pray it won't burn my tongue. The temperature was just perfect. The baristas were friendly and upbeat.

Good food and coffee during a recent snow storm. Their service was first rate. Go often. Great atmosphere

This was a little coffee shop near my Airbnb. I wanted a quick breakfast and came by here. I liked the interior design of this place and wanted to check it out. There were several people sitting down and working on their laptops. They played classical music which was relaxing. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and iced coffee. The sandwich was good. They did not have any ketchup or any other types of sauces available so that was disappointing. The coffee was served in a foam cup. Not that big of a deal but I didn't expect it. It did not taste the same as it would have in a plastic cup. I would come back here again if they had ketchup for my breakfast sandwich next time.

I like it here because of the architecture and they have a second floor. The coffee isn't bad.

You get 2 stars simply due to the fact that it's in an old bank. That to me, is all you have. I see that calling out how rude and unfriendly the baristas are is not an uncommon review here on Yelp.2 seconds about me for frame of reference- I run a small coffee farm from Guatemala and typically enjoy Cortados. I am in no way a coffee snob and the only drink I have found remotely good at this establishment is their frozen coffee because it was recommended to me once. The first time I got it, it was great. Not too sweet and with actual espresso. The second time I went a few months later they said they couldn't made them (blender down maybe?). I respond with "awww bummer!!" Male barista responds in a very condescending manner "ohh yeah real bummer" and rolls his eyes. So I got a pastry instead and left.Yesterday was my third and last time I'll be in. I sent my wife in to grab us two of them as there was no parking but she didn't know exactly what they were called. She asked the (this time female) barista and she responds in once again a condescending manner "umm I don't really know, I don't drink those things"She makes them, fills half the cup up with frozen coffee and the other with whip cream (never asked for that). I get in the car, annoyed wife and half a drink once I removed the whip.Side note- this place uses styrofoam diner cups for practically all of the coffees you order (cold or hot). If this isn't a blaring "I should not buy coffee from this place" sign, I don't know what is.
