Whatever Coffee

I am not a local and my review is based on one visit. The coffee I had was so bitter, I had to have a second person taste it to see if there was something wrong with my tasting. It was worse than a day old gas station coffee. We had to throw it away. Getting a to go coffee of that quality took about 20 minutes. It is a coffeehouse, doesn't need to be fast. But this is slower than many gourmet restaurants.

Always impressed by this little coffee set up - and latte art in the to go cup!!!!!?? That's impressive. As a former barista, I am very picky about my coffee and where I get it from. It is a little pricey but it's nothing more than anywhere else around -- and it's good quality! The mocha I had today was delicious. More chocolaty than sweet (add vanilla if you like yours sweeter!). 10/10

You gotta love a business with a good sense of humor. After taking your first few sips of coffee from this small shop (located inside the Stein's Market and Deli), you'll definitely be thinking this coffee is anything but "whatever". I had a cold brew, which was rich, smooth and full of delicious "coffee" flavor (yet not at all bitter....as a cold brew SHOULD be). Again, the shop is super small, taking up a small corner, but the working the the shop is BIG on coffee. He was pretty friendly and willing to chat about all things coffee...so much so, he caught himself then apologized for chatting too much (I really didn't mind).So yeah, stop in, get some coffee, or...whatever.

Whatever you do, be sure to stop by this cool coffee stand inside of Stein's Deli. Don't be fooled by the small size of this place, however, as they can make just about whatever you could possible want (espresso, lattes, coffee, etc.). I didn't test them, but I have no doubt that they will do whatever it takes to make your drink exactly how you like it.You can get whatever floats your boat, but their espresso is very good and is served in the coolest glasses. I usually just stop and get whatever is easiest on my way out the door, but I would definitely recommend stopping by this hidden gem of a coffee shop if you're in the area. They will have whatever you need to get you through your day!

I've seen the sign outside of Stein's for Whatever a few times and finally stopped in when they're open (closed Monday/Tuesday). There isn't too much info about this place anywhere online, so I was pumped to check it out and wasn't sure what to expect from this tiny counter in the front corner of Stein's deli.don't usually like double shots of espresso since they seem really diluted compared to a strong single shot, and thought this might be the case with Whatever's double. This was the best double shot I've ever had, and one of my favorite espressos generally in New Orleans. It was super rich and flavorful.This definitely isn't a place to get coffee and do work, but it's a great spot to stop by for a great cup of coffee to get you going or as a midday pick-me-up (before 1 or 2pm on days they're open). You can also grab a growler of cold brew from them to take home.My low expectations were surpassed big time and I found a new favorite coffee spot in the area. The barista was super nice and knows coffee. Definitely worth stopping by to try this place, come when you're hungry too because it's too tempting to grab a bite at Stein's while you're there.

Don't miss it. Pay attention or you will. Quick, no frills, smoothest espresso and a tight mellow milk top to the cappuccino.

Great coffee and great baristas! I tried several different lattes and the chai and they were all amazing!

I got a coffee there this morning and it tasted off. I swirled the cup and noticed the milk was chunky! They used rotten milk :(
