After an unsuccessful trip to a liquor store on St. Charles that was unexpectedly closed;(should have called first) we walked through the rain to Avenue Cafe. First trip there for myself and my friend. It was very clean inside. We each had a pineapple ginger smoothie. She had the caprese’ sandwich which the person behind the counter said was on white bread (it was more of a whole wheat) and cafe au lait. I went with a chai latte’ and the granola with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit.At this time they are not offering inside seating, but there were two small cafe tables for two against the building and protected from the rain; as well as three larger picnic tables with umbrellas. We sat at one of the former and stayed dry; although, it was raining pretty steadily.My granola was sweetened with honey and the fresh fruit was exactly that- fresh! My friend said her caprese sandwich was good-definitely praise from someone who recently returned from Italy. The baked goods in the dessert case all looked delicious. Perhaps next time.

Tropical smoothie was good but I wish they had coconut milk to give it a creamier texture. Flavor was nice and refreshing

I mean, its a coffee shop. You know what coffee is. But its also got some good pastries and good food.

Food was ok. Experience was not. I called ahead and the guy answered the phone by saying saying HELLO. I wasnt sure I had reached the right place. Are dogs allowed near open food in this town? Shouldnt the team Wear gloves and masks while preparing food? Maybe they were just busy but I was not impressed with the service, one of the 2 items that we received was good. Will. Not return.

Super nice people, amazing food and drinks. The drinks are on the pricier side, but worth it. My favorite two food items are the vegan bagel sandwich and the quiche.

Stopped into Avenue Cafe on St Charles a couple of times while traveling in New Orleans. They offer great tasting coffee and I loved the morning glory breakfast bread as well! Cheerful and kind employees gave a warm greeting each morning and delivered my coffee and bread to the seating area rather than calling out that it was ready. The atmosphere inside is clean and comfortable plus they offer sidewalk patio seating.I typically enjoy finding new places to get coffee each morning while traveling but I had such a great experience with the coffee and staff that I came back multiple times. Bonus: they give out neat Avenue Cafe stickers. 6/5 stars, outstanding cafe!

Very nice raw vegetable drinks made to order. They allow only three items and should have the option for four or more vegetables per drink.

Friendly and sooo many great choices. Could visit here every day!

This little place is WONDERFUL! All fresh from scratch pastries, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed juices and excellent coffee. I purchased the morning glory bread(full of flavor and delicious), coconut mango scone(delicious), maple bacon sweet potato biscuit(o.m.g 😋 I could have eaten a dozen), cinnamon hazelnut cruffin(a delicious, buttery croissant/muffin baby). My definite go to place anytime I go back to New Orleans!!!❤

Fun, sometimes quirky food combinations that just seem to work. The food was fresh hit and brought out to us.

Great coffee and food - love the ham and cheese croissant!

This place is a gem! The location is convenient, there is indoor and outdoor seating, and right across from a streetcar let-on. The staff is helpful and friendly as can be. Not to mention they make the best cold brew coffee Ive ever had.

Excellent bagel sandwich, and frozen coffee, and Vegan options are fantastic as well!

Super basic, overpriced sandwich. Like super basic.

100% recommended! I do not like breakfast in the US and the best breakfast is breakfast home 😀. But this one! You will enjoy! Fresh salads, juice, delicious sandwiches! Nice plates, bowls, service. It sounds like “what?” But I really enjoyed eating something and have a fork, plate and not the plastic one 😂.

Great food, amazing service!!! We were only here for a few days but wanted an authentic breakfast. We were not disappointed. My mom and Aunt got mimosas. They had wine in them instead of champagne, super cool and different! Would definitely return! I recommend the blueberry muffin (if you are lactose intolerant I do not recommend the muffins).

Delicious Vegan Bagel it will be go to for BF first the next 7 days, Yummy Coffee

Very cozy, eclectic cafe with a good menu. It was hard to choose something because everything looked great. I definitely recommend the quiche or the yogurt for a good, healthy breakfast option. Get an Irish Coffee for a nice relaxing drink as well.

Wish I would have taken photos. The fresh squeezed juices and bakery items (spinach and artichoke croissant) are delicious. It was near our hotel and we visited multiple mornings.

Very good and fresh!!

Food was good, other people liked it also. Just weird not eating inside.

Helpful friendly staff...Clean and pretty quiet mid afternoon..Tasty chicken salad...Nice safety measures..

I only got a caramel iced latte. It was not sweet. But the guy that made it behind the counter did listen to my less ice request.

Customers are not allow to sit or wait inside. This makes it difficult especially since it is a coffee shop. There isn’t any plugs outside to charge hour computer if needed. You are literally sitting at a table on a sidewalk. Owner wouldn’t even let you sit inside if you are vaccinated.

Great coffee shop for studying. The coffee taste is also delicious. They have variety of teas and cakes also for a quick bite. I highly recommend this place for hangout or study. One of the cleanest coffee shop you can find in New Orleans so far. It is also next to historic trolley station which attracts some tourists for taking pictures. The workers are doing great job and they have a good vibe.

Try the green smoothie. Best Ive ever had!

Awesome little place super friendly employees

I had some of the best vegan sandwiches and smoothies here. Who would have thought I’d find such a vegan jewel in New Orleans.

Excellent food and service. The place was cute and clean and the food was fresh and tasted great. I sat outside so the weather made it even better.

Cute, healthy, great way to start the day. Had a berry smoothie and it was delicious!

Good breakfast here. A little slow a peak time.

The cafe has a lot of room inside to order and wait (no inside dining). There is a nice sitting outside. Their coffee is excellent.

Made me wait 1 hour just to tell me they lost my order. I watched them serve everybody that came in after me. I asked them 4 times where was my order and they said its coming right up . After 1 hour they offered a refund for half of my order . Im late to my next job and I still havent eaten today. Thanks alot avenue Cafe. 👍👍 real professional. (Im being sarcastic) that was my first and last time visiting this place .Ps. I just went to subway across the street and they have 1000x better service. I cant vouch for avenue cafes food because they didnt even make an effort to get it to me.

Delicious meal! I ordered the salmon sandwich. Service was a little bit slow and there was a weird customer sitting next to me angrily hitting his laptop but that’s not the establishments fault. I wish they had a larger selection of books to read. Will go back to try their green smoothie. :)

Great coffee shop / Cafe. Good for a breakfast or light lunch. They had a lot of vegan and gluten free bread and pastry options. Biggest table is for 4 so better for small groups or a good place to work remote.

Ate here every morning on our vacation. Quick service, great food and staff.

This place stayed packed the whole time we were there, but we were able to get a seat once we placed our order. The prices are good and so was the everything bagel with veggie cream cheese.

Great because you can get your morning juice, freshly made, not the prebottled type! And, honey is available for your coffee.

This is a space that is dear to my heart. My kids and I would go here everyday after-school in 2nd grade...they are now in 7th and 6th. So u can imagine the warm feeling I felt when I wanted to take their younger brother. We walked in no one gave eye contact or said hello. A greeting sets the tone for the type of space your in. I was disappointed so I walked out and walked into smoothie king and the greeting was there but I did not want a smoothie. So I said thank you for the greeting and walked back to the avenue Cafe still no greeting and a little eye contact....so at this point I said is this space still owned by the same person, and the lady near the counter said huh since when yes I think....I said I ask because I would come in everyday after school with my kids and it was a kinder more welcoming space. I walked in twice but was never given a greeting ...I am not sure if I was the color of my skin or whatever but not everything is about race somethings are about hospitality. The lady said I am sorry we were all working...this is no excuse because it my money or the money of the consumers that keel you busy. But she was respectfully and I ordered my food which was delicious the turkey spinach sandwich and carrot apple juice.....with a muffin. Service was great but never time I hope the greeting can match the service.

I made a telephone order with a very nice and knowledgable young lady named Christa. Super polite and professional. The food was freat and ready very quickly. And i havent been stabbed here yet.

Perfect little coffee shop with a nice selection of quick food.

LOVE IT!! Smoked salmon and breakfast sandwiches all day baby!!! I wish Jersey had it like this!

I appreciated the very efficient a.m. staff when I called ahead since I needed to catch an early trolley connection to get to the airport by bus. Had their breakfast bagel sandwich. Very satisfying for a meal on the go.

Great little place. Coffee was great, quiche was fresh and served with salad. Outdoor seating and Covid19 sensitive. They use biodegradable straws and recycled products. They use real plates to serve outdoors. I’m impressed with now echo friendly they are.

Cute cafe. Good coffee, lovely staff. Laid back atmosphere with local art.

Not only do they have one of the greatest cups of coffee in town, the non-dairy alternatives can’t be beat. Normally you have to ask and pay for almond or soy milk not here, even oat milk to choose from! These little things to add up as a coffee drinker, and not to mention the vegan cookies and tuna salad sandwich on croissant!!!

Love this salmon bagel..fruit was fresh, grrek salad wonderful..Ive been back 3 times already

Nice staff.Coffee and muffin 😋

A nice little place to eat on St. Charles. The salads are fantastic!

The New Orleans Coffee here is fantastic!!! Sweet, savory and served quickly! Would 100% recommend this location.

I wish this place existed where I live. Fresh squeezed juice, iced coffee (get the New Orleans style), salads, sandwiches & close to the St Charles tram 🚋 And the BIG plus for a tourist: wifi

Wonderful coffee, friendly staff! Definitely coming back tomorrow for my morning coffee!

Im a teacher at a school near this Cafe and order here almost everyday. Love it havent had any wrong or missing items. They are great and open early.

Visited during a trip to the area. Only option that was open nearby. Coffee was ok but staff....if you werent like them and/or appearance, you knew it. Food was not good!

Great little place.Sandwiches made to order with chips or salad.Or both:)Fresh made juices and smoothies.Soccer on tv.Yea I’ll be back for sure.

Its a good coffee shop (and New Orleans has plenty good coffee shops) but first, it has delicious almond croissants (better than most coffee shops) as well as molasses cookies, and second, it makes fresh juices to order like beet, carrot and apple, or use pineapple instead ... you can mix and match how you want. All reasonable priced (unlike WholeFood). Also makes sandwiches and acai bowls like typical cafes. But I really go for the juices and fresh baked croissants on premise.

Great coffee and even offers Irish coffee and other drinks (Bloody Marys, pressed juices) along with small pastries and sandwiches. Im a repeat customer for them!

Great service and breakfast! Our new go to place on St. Charles.

Great place for breakfast and lunch

The New Orleans iced coffee was probably the best iced coffee I’ve ever had in my entire life. Everyone should try this place.

Great neighborhood spot! GREAT coffee and nice staff!

Tasty turkey sandwich and the coffee is really different they have their special coffee brands

The food is awesome! Great addition on St. Charles for a lite meal.

Grabbed a fresh squeezed juice and a quiche with salad. Both were tasty and the outdoor space was nice.

Terrible customer service, my girlfriend and I stepped up to the register after another guest put in there order and once we got up the man walked away and started making coffees, smoothies. No problem but we literally stood there for ten minutes and out of the four working not one of them acknowledged us or ever said it will be a minute. After literally waiting the ten minutes I asked are we in the right spot they said yes I than said ok well is someone going to take our order the gentleman said we are busy. Very rude staff

Best coffee shop in new orleans. The staff and owner are incredibly kind and helpful. The coffee is delicious along with the food. They have alcoholic drinks as well, and the mimosas are made with fresh squeezed oj. You should absolutely come here you will not be disappointed

We got a vanilla latte and a berry smoothie. It was perfect!

Their bloody mary was veey tasty and i liked my breakfast sandwhich too. The goat cheese was very yummy and soft

Great place to work and have a good cup of coffee. High speed wifi. Power outlets. Kind service.

Awesome experience and Awesome ice latte coffee.

Nice spot for a coffee or smoothie. Clearly a spot locals go to; a few people were working on their laptops.Had the berry smoothie and it was delicious. Options for baked goods and canned drinks. Also a restroom for customers.

No sitting, no tables, little rain we walked out.

Very good muffins & coffee. Everyone is so nice & practicing safety measures. Thank you.

1st breakfast in Louisiana,great cappuccino and amazing almond croissant

Good solid cup of dark roast and the croissant was tops as well. Service was typical millennial elitist attitude.

Love this little place. What a hidden gem!! Found it while on vacation. We were there twice and would have loved to stop in again before we left!

Micky runs an amazing shop! Great food Wonderful coffee and great baristas

Nice little sandwich shop. We had both good food and good service. They offer a variety of healthier options. They have a nice selection of coffees also! We will be back again.

Best coffee

We stood in line at the counter for about 10 minutes without so much as a hello. The employees saw us and just kept going about their business like they didn’t even want us there.

Coffee, alcoholic coffee, pastries, sandwiches, smoothies..it has it all. Nice café in Lower Garden.

I had a regular coffee and it was old and cold before I added cream and sugar. I wont go back

A little on the pricier side but absolutely worth it. Top tier coffee, food is excellent, staff are quick and friendly.Been a regular there for years now.

Cold brew is great and staff is very friendly. The location to our hotel was awesome. Not a huge fan of the hummus but I think its just a personal preference. My husband enjoyed his croissant breakfast sandwich. Well priced for sure.

Juices and smoothies are really good!

Stumbled across this place while exploring. The food was delicious! Nice atmosphere too. We had quiche, which came with side salad, frozen coffee.... yum... and croissants. Worth a stop!

Love that the soccer games are always on. Love it and the customer service.

My favorite coffee shop! The coffee is absolutely fantastic, the staff is always so friendly and courteous and the ambience is so warm and inviting. My favorite coffee is the white chocolate latte or the caramel latte in a large cup with extra milk but their other coffee options are great as well. You can have made to order freshly squeezed orange juice or even a Mimosa! There are a variety of options to wet the palette. Also, you should try any of the many food options available. I am pescatarian so my go-to options are the spinach and tomato quiche with salad, the fruit granola, and the salmon bagel. You will absolutely love this place which is normally busy throughout the mornings and gets busy again for lunch. They are not open for dinner.

My favorite place in town for gluten free food and desserts. Also just the best brownies in town if you like your brownies on the fudgy side. That almond joy brownie tho.

Great food and good service!

I was a fan of this place when I was in New Orleans in 2013. I cant speak about the black coffee, but they made the best White Mocha iced coffee Ive had, sweet and creamy. Ive since changed my diet and switched to black coffee, but I loved that stuff.They have the best quality food options of any cafe Ive been to in CT, NY, LA, CO, and CA so far. Apple goat cheese scones. Sandwiches with quality meats and artisan cheeses. The best quality cinnamon rolls Ive ever had, an orange flavored one I miss to this day.The owners are the friendliest Ive met, offering to let me borrow their personal coffee books, and on my last day in New Orleans after living their for years, gave me food and coffee on the house.

I brought my niece to the avenue cafe because it is very similar in style and atmosphere to her coffee houses in Portland,Oregon. She was very happy with the variety of organic juices and vegan food options. The staff was very friendly and readily answered any menu questions. The food was brought out very quickly and was made to order. I had a little problem with The latte not being warm enough for me, but the management were very fast to provide excellent customer service to rectify The issue. I would go back again even with all The construction going on St. Charles Avenue. The Avenue Cafe is cozy and casual. The laid back vibe of the staff and decor lends itself to people working on laptops, having a quick bite, and just stopping by to have coffee and conversation. The family-friendly layout allows kids to be active, but not distracting to other customers. I didnt feel rushed to eat and run. Good job and thats why they received 4 stars.

Was really craving a bagel and this place seriously impressed. We ordered a plain bagel with pecan cream cheese and the bagel sandwich, and both were really amazing. The store itself also has a cozy and nice atmosphere to it and the workers were really friendly. Only complaint is that the service was a little slow, but in the end it was worth the wait.

Theres no dine in so we got it to go and went back to our room.

Attended with a friend, we ordered breakfast. One normal coffee one fancy and two muffins. Those muffins were huge! everything was delicious and service was great too. Good location, parking was pretty easy.

Good granola. Also some delicious looking breads and fresh fruit options, large food menu for a cafe. They do have chai lattes, but its definitely a pre-sweetened powder, and way too sweet. They have wifi and there were several people working on laptops. There are also plenty of people who just come in for breakfast to-go, as well as a few people chatting with friends. The seating is set up well for a mix of people sitting alone and people in pairs. Good music, and good service.

Great little Cafe. The food was very fresh and amazing!

The breakfast bagel and New Orleans coffee we’re super yummy but pretty expensive for the size! The service was friendly. They did serve our coffees in plastic disposable cups though (even though we were eating in). This seems like an awful waste of plastics and harmful for the environment for no reason. I definitely would prefer to drink my coffee out of a glass or something reusable (and paper if it’s take away). 🌱

Nice atmosphere. Good choices of food...vegan too. Friendly staff

Great, strong, drip coffee and delicious quiches and baked goods. I stayed near this place for almost a week when I visited NOLA and Im disappointed with myself for not discovering it until halfway through my stay.
