Travel back in time at this hip yet cozy coffee shop. Eccentric decoration in & outside. Edgy clientele, always seem happy to be here. Very welcoming place, you can spend hours. They have homemade pastries and deserts. Really tasty stuff. Their coffees are good too. All in all, great place to hang out anytime of the day.

Adorable cafe with a hip grit jungle vibe that I was obsessed with! I only grabbed some bakery items each of which were delicious-lava cake, macadamia nut cookie and king cake. The baristas here are incredibly friendly too. The atmosphere gives a very welcoming and local energy that radiates safety too.

What a lovely experience! We were gifted delicious juice samples! Staff are phenomenal, very friendly and welcoming. What an amazing treat!

Full of character & kindness! Flora feels like you are visiting another country, with its lush plants & bright hues! Beautiful art & delicious coffee.

My latte was watered down and tasteless even with the double shot of vanilla. Sadly a waste of over $6.

Yummy latte and baked goods!1-12-2020Enjoyed a #9 latte apple genger coffee cake and chilling!

Veggie curry breakfast burrito was fire. Service was amazing. And the mocha was prefect. Comfortable little spot. Im definitely coming back!

Chill spot - cool people - piano open for people to play on. Got good coffee, tea and food. Places to sit in and outside

Delicious food, delightful community space. So much appreciation!

Lovely little coffee shop near our Airbnb. Good and inexpensive.

Excellent place for the mornings first coffee!!!! Atmosphere outside and in is amazing....

They sell paintings there made from the artists own fecal matter! Very impressive, controversial, and daring.

Service was ok as well as the pastries, just ok

Coziest place ever! Friendly stuff! Highly recommend

Old vintage looking coffee shop in a very colorful part of the city. Great service and incredible desserts

A lovely space to relax and meet friends. I bike here every Saturday. Its always peaceful and warm.

Chill vibes. Good place to study/read/do adulting stuff.

This cafe reminds of the Cafes hippies owned in the late 60s. The atmosphere is amazing very nice staff its a throwback cafe to the times when things where simple.

Im sure itll be better post-covid

Excellent. The staff was amazingly friendly and went over and above for us.

I had the best cheese danish of my whole life here, and the breakfast bowls are incredible.

Cafe Flora is so much more than a coffee shop -- its a gathering place for the neighborhood where bonds are formed and relationships kindled. Ali, the owner, is always around, talking to everyone, getting to know you, hosting bat-gammon tournaments. The coffee is cheap and good. The space is filled with crafts from local artists and an old upright piano where youll occasionally here someone trilling out a tune. This isnt your spic-and-span, modern coffee shop where you breeze in and out and instagram about it, this is a true, authentic, New Orleans coffee house where you while away the humid hours talking to anyone who is around you, telling stories, soaking in life. I am grateful for this coffee shop!

Quaint place where the cat is king. Neighborhood café off the beaten tourist path. Everything seemed homemade. Brownies & cookies looked great. The cappuccino was ok, not more, but there was still something about this place. The clientele looked to be ranging from hippie to vegan-hipster. Everyone was friendly and it was a laid back place with wifi.

Spectacular old school Bywater institution.

A+ coffee and atmosphere. Everything I want in a coffeeshop (especially the piano)

Cafe Flora will forever hold a special place in my heart. I use to spend hours in here years ago essentially turning the place into my office. The food is simple and delicious, the coffee is AMAZING, and the staff know how to make it all perfectly.The place use to be cash only but I THINK takes cards now.I love meeting up with friends here for a quick bite to eat and to catch up.This place has ultimately not changed, I still feel like I can sit and spend hours here and enjoy every minute of it.

Strong coffee and good sammiches

Best coffee shop in the area because the coffee is cheap and they encourage you to play the piano (assuming youre ok)

Young, poor Hipsters and counter-culture, alternative Lifestyle types abound, good coffee good pastries! As I recall the counter person was as flaky as my pastry, but still a great little hang.

I have been there many times, and have never been disappointed. If you like masks, there are even a few on sale! Floras has a nice food selection, and a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Try new things. Good eating!

Went here with my friend during a trip to NOLA, a sweet and quirky place to unwind with some coffee. Friendly staff. Would recommend.

This is really a cozy coffee shop and cafe. The place is really charming, old board games, a piano, posters about local issues.We had the pesmesto bagel, a burrito, and a coffee, and everything was delicious.If youre visiting New Orleans its a little out the way of the French Dostrict but the area is far more relaxed and feels authentic. We found this place by accident when walking back to our place one night, but were really glad we did.

This place is the heart of NOLA for me, I spent hundreds of hours here meeting local people and found out what true beauty is in the community there... I love you Floras! Miss yal, Ill be back eventually!

I have been coming here for 13 years. Its a great atmosphere. Friendly neighborhood coffee shop. Good food too. Overall just a nice place to spend a relaxing moment to unwind.

Good Coffee. Tasty breakfast sandwiches, funky NOLA hangout space, table tops have cool tile designs, games & books to grab. Peasant staff. There is some ceramic work by a local artist for sale. The place could be cleaner without losing too much character - so they should work on that.

Great funky coffee shop -classic New Orleans hippie hangout. Really nice staff and GREAT coffee. Probably my favorite coffee in NO. Good baklava too.

Chairs arent the most comfortable for sitting there a while, but I always love coming to hang out here and have some baklava. Most of the goodies come from Sams but the baklava is made in-house. Some of the best Ive found yet.

A lovely place, heartwarming, and if youre lucky to taste Alis food one of these nights its amazing!

We found this gem by luck while riding our bikes around the neighborhood and loved it at first sight. We ordered our coffees then found out that was cash only. The owner insisted on giving them whatever we had in cash even though they have an ATM inside. Very calm and good atmosphere.

Warm and cozy and Ali is a delight. Christie is an amazing barista and cook. Enjoyed the artsy atmosphere

Ive been going here since almost the day it opened (1995?). If you are visiting from out of town, it will definitely feel a bit rough around the edges. The place is very left of center. While you might think some of the regulars are planning the revolution (I think they are), they are some of the nicest folks in town. They built a Starbucks not too far away if thats more you cup of coffee.The Ethiopian roast is there best imo.The breakfast food is my favorite. Sometimes I ask for a curry veggie burito add sausage. Yum! Some of the sweets are just from Sams, they still taste good.

Great service, homemade treats.

Visiting NO solo, I felt a little out of my depth until I stopped in here and had a chat with Ali and some fellow customers. It felt like home. It was the highlight of my trip.

They dont have a huge selection of food. Its a great place popular with those in the neighborhood. An eclectic crowd of artists, and involved community members. It like a few places in NOLA is like Cheers where everyone knows your name. Open broad hours 6 am (i think.... I dont get out that early) till midnight... It may be later on weekends.

I stayed in New-Orleans for a few days last November and I had the best time of my trip at Floras gallery. Wonderful people, delicious food and juices, magical vibe, great local artists, captivating poetry ! I will definitely come back to New-Orleans just for this enchanting paradise regained.

Little coffee shop in the heart of the bywater neighborhood. The place has a ton of character and great coffee.

Great place. Good wifi cafe coffee and breakfast food stop. Enjoy

I love this place! The coffee and chai is great and they have some quick eats as well. I tried the hummus sandwich and it was delicious! They have breakfast in the morning and are open pretty late as well.

Some of the best coffee Ive had in quite a while! And such a cozy place to sit relax with your thoughts on a sunny morning.

My favorite coffee shop in NOLA and great place to go if you’re vegan or vegetarian. The vegan curry is SO good.

Best price for great coffee- all the food I’ve had there has been good and reasonably priced

Im literally eating the Kebab Plate (not on the menu) right now and I couldnt wait to give a 5 star review. So good, made with care, and huge portions for only $10. Good vibe here every time Ive been in and the piano is in tune :)

Quaint coffee shop and restaurant, giving you the feeling that you are special having discovered the place. Delicious cakes, pies, fresh bagel. They serve lunch too.

Great coffee and Interesting eats

Best place Eva!! Love the staff & atmosphere.

Great little cafe with a nice easy-going atmosphere. Nice food selections for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. Good coffee and tea. Free wifi. Cash only. ATM inside.

This place has long provided a comfortable atmosphere for this highly sensitive person, me! In times of peace and chaos, Floras and Ali have been there! And, they have good coffee, too! 😀😀❤

A much larger menu than I expect from a coffee shop. Its a cozy, charming shop with interesting, neighborhood folks. I love it for getting work done and getting something to eat.

Come here for every character in the neighborhood. Take the time to chat or order a quiche. Cold brew is 💓

This is not a Starbucks, it’s a quirky, eccentric, awesome little coffee shop in the 9th. Tons of character, old books and artwork and a fireplace. Friendly people. Love the outdoor seating and all the plants gone wild. Cheeeers for having a bike rack. Coffee and espresso here was great, and decently priced. Good stuff.

Cozy, carribian neighborhood coffeehouse

A charming little place on the corner. Get for anyone looking for a suit down coffee shop. Is usually quiet with the exception of the occasional pianist, food is good and coffee is good enough, prices are fair.

This coffee house has an overwhelming abundance of the indefinable spirit which New Orleans is known for. Whenever I end up here, even when fed up and ready to leave the city, this place feels like the home I would never leave. Talented randoms grace patrons ears with their skills on ivory while people sip eat and write. I remember first coming here on the night of Chubauccus and thinking I wanted to write here, that I finally found a public space in which I could write, the likes of which greats scratched out their first drafts.

Clearly a neighborhood joint. Great people watching and easy conversations. When we were there there was someone playing piano inside, someone practicing guitar outside and a two sax players discussing who to go to for repairs - the German or French technician. All I want in a cafe...

They have a great picture of The Tree of Life for sale!

Funky place. The staff could not care less about patron satisfaction or happiness- that is except for the rather tall man serving the coffee and taking orders. He was nice. The décor is shabby without the chic. The staff was too worried about appearing hip and aloof to care about service and forget about a welcoming smile or genuine, connective human feeling. I was served a typical American egg breakfast and my relatives both ate breakfast burritos. All very uninspired and absolutely no better than I prepare at home; although I put some effort into making my plated product pretty. Coffee was good and plentiful on the positive side. The interior itself was drab and frankly dingy and dirty appearing. I felt like tipping them with a can of paint and brush. Anyway with so many fantastic places to eat in NOLa I cant imagine us returning here.

Great breakfast burrito, but the wait was super long. Friendly enough service, good price.

A really great neighborhood coffee cafe. A real tradition. Best coffee, including chicory and best prices too! Great place to hang out and really good breakfast.

The love here is unconditional Ali take care of this neighborhood like no other, he show love all the time. Thanks Ali!!!!❤❤❤

Christie is amazing

Good prices and got coffee. This page has a great atmosphere, i liked it a lot and will come again

The coffee is sub par, but its more relaxed and has a better atmosphere than most coffee shops in the neighbourhood

Its warm but a nice creative environment! Batista was extremely nice! Great service

Its OK. Not the best coffee, the food is so so. The juice is good. Its kinda grimy and dusty. The ladies who work there are nice but the owner is strange

Quirky fun little cafe, I feel in love with the decor! The food is also just goid down home eats. When I find my self in nola I will be back!

Several styles of fresh high quality coffee... Chicory, French roast, Colombian, Ethiopian and Kenyan. Wide variety of sweet and savory pastries from cupcakes to boreks, a Turkish traditional pastry with either veggies or meat. Heavenly pancakes. We came here the first morning in town and came back for breakfast every day. Friendly folks work here. Owner Ali is on-site. It has outdoor and indoor seating. Worl by local artists on the walls.

Great service and great coffee. Gotta try the breakfast sandwiches in the case when you go.

Charming local hangout. Predates Katrina by many years. Relaxed.

Great atmosphere. I like the vibe here.

Great, Cheers like coffee shop! Superb mixtures of people and personalities, wonderful comfort foods, with a weekly backgammon club for the head strong math types. I felt at home the moment I was greeted by a kind heart from behind the case of sinful sweet treats. The home like atmosphere is decorated with colorful faces of Mardi Gras and the occasional curious orange feline who seems to prefer her coffee on the go.The mellow spirits in this place are delighted to embrace its visitors with aromas of fresh brewed coffees and accommodations for the Peppermint or Green tea types like myself. Dont be surprised if you hear Paul Simon or Etta James in the distant background. If you are looking for a place of solace and serenity, take seat and have a chat. If youre looking to brag about your stocks and yachts, heck youre welcome as well! As the late great Don Cornelius would say Love Peace and Soul.

A hipsters delight! If youre in the mood for great coffee and some really good vegetarian food; come here.

It would be great place if the covid-19 . 2 hour sitting was lifted from here

Good food good service

Breakfast items are yummy. Coffee isnt half bad either.

Best breakfast in town! Better than your grandmas cooking.

We were told this was a chill place, which was right. Unpretentious, with good coffee and a food menu. Like a local coffeeshop in theMarigny. :)

If you like quirky places with original artwork and characters, this is the right place for you. They also make great coffee!

My home. Dont come here. Ha ha

Lovely place with great vegan treats!

Quirky characters and their quirky art.

Great people and awesome service! Love this place

Fun neighborhood coffee shop with good atmosphere. Decent coffee, but frozen pastries

Old world community and charm

This a fun little quirky cafe I like to frequent whenever I find myself in the Margniny. Totally unpretenious, foods great, staffs great and the decor is definitely one of a kind.

Cute coffee shop with lovely barista. Board games everywhere, and good ice lattes.

Best coffeeshop atmosphere in the Bywater. Cant say too much about the coffee because you basically pay for a sample serving size of Maxwell House @ dank coffee prices... but the artists who hang out here are pretty amazing. It makes up for it.

Friendly people and neighborly atmosphere. Cheapest cafe in town.

The food and coffer were surprisingly ok. The atmosphere is nice. The place is super dirty though.

Amazing chef Liz who is sweet and wonderful, tasty food, beautiful art! Loved the place :)

Double my stars.. Great place for coffee AND amazing food. This is the longest review Ive ever written, but they are worth but.Was really surprised the 1st time I ate here (though had been a bunch of times prior for coffee). Wow, such a chill coffee shop with super well made eats! Love the chilli, buritto, soup, and the burgers that are encased in soft pretzelly kind of dough (not 100% how to describe) has to be one of the best edible things you can eat - in the world.On top of all that, the people are great, very friendly, and make you feel at home - like a family member.Another thing... Music out if nowhere.. sometimes a person will walk up the the old upright piano and begin playing - from moderate skills to professional, all are welcome (never heard chop-sticks - which is a good thing). Maybe someone will start singing a tune.. with or without accompyment.And on a chilly or cold day, grab a table next to the fireplace!What else can I say.. other than youre really missing something if you havent tried one of my favourite places in New Orleans. Great coffee, great meals, great atmoshere, and great people by.Its right across the street from MiMis, in the Marigny.
