For every American city, coffee has become a large source of energy and culture and New Orleans has added their own spin to it. Some of their coffeehouses have been around for over a century (Cafe Du Monde) and others are brand new. Here is a curated list to guide you.

1. District: Hand Pie & Coffee Bar
Dessert Shop, Coffee Shop, American, Vegetarian
Cafe Du Monde
Café Du Monde is probably the most famous coffee shop in New Orleans. Known for the beignets (and the coffee), this cafe is bustling every hour of every day. Functioning a bit as a tourist attraction, it’s probably not the best place to have a quiet, peaceful cup of coffee. However, it’s fabulous for people watching and beignets.
Café Du Monde, 800 Decatur St, New Orleans, LA, USA, +1 504-525-4544

Addiction
Addiction’s coffee is addictive and strong, giving a very big shock to a morning. The muffins, however, are wildly innovative and delicious. The menu includes standard drinks as an espresso or cortado, but the specialty drinks are innovative and dangerous. The drinks (and muffins) are reasonable, and the decor is the cozy, wood-paneled aesthetic.
Addiction, 909 Iberville St, New Orleans, LA, USA, +1 504-475-5900
6. Breads on Oak
Bakery, Restaurant, Deli, Pastry Shop, American
