I found this little gem literally right outside of my hotel the last morning of my trip and I SO REGRET NOT FINDING IT SOONER. It had the prefect walk up grab, warm, and go croissants paired with the prefect cup of espresso over 1/2 & 1/2. The iced in the iced drinks it the prefect little crunchy nuggets! 🀀

I had their New Orleans Iced Coffee with almond milk. The staff were friendly and helpful. The cashier helped me to pick out the coffee. I was pleasantly surprised that they had non-dairy milk options, which were almond milk and oat milk. The atmosphere was interesting and well decorated. I’m not sure that it’s easily accessible by car though cuz they don’t have a parking lot.

Fantastic spot post-fat Tuesday. Great mix of dairy and non-dairy milk options. Pleasantly surprised to see oat milk on the menu. Highly recommend for a tucked away spot with modern charm!

Excellent coffee but there are no outlets... avoid for a full day of work or studying unless you can last off a full charge. Other than that, loved my coffee, the shop itself was very well kept, and the workers were also very nice.

French Truck coffee is well located in the French Quarter. The coffee shop offers a variety of coffee including cappuccino and lattes. You can also order iced coffee with this Oli machine which is on display. My coffee was smooth although somewhat bitter. This shop has seating and some pastries as well.

I love the atmosphere and the open door design! The Chai tea latte was savory and was a great drink to relax with. The ham and cheese croissant was decent, but nothing to write home about. Ill be here the next time Im in NOLA.

A lovely coffee shop with even lovelier customer service. Friends and I were visiting NOLA prior to COVID and found French Truck Coffee after walking around for a bit. I’ll admit that I’m not a huge coffee person, however I found their coffee to be absolutely delicious. It had a great flavor and was super smooth. I was so excited by it that I wanted to buy a bag for a friend and mail it to them once I got home for their birthday. I bought a small bag and packed it up in my suitcase for my flight home a day later. However, TSA said that they wouldn’t let me take it on the plane...um okay? I emailed French Truck about it to let them know and to inform other customers that it might happen to them. They quickly responded back saying that they had never of this problem before and thought it was super odd. Without me even prompting them, they gave me a discount code to order some new coffee online! I was so pleased with how they handled it. Some of the nicest coffee and people here! A must stop at any of their locations!

Reviews on Google looked good, so I checked it out. I cant recommend for two reasons. The coffee is so-so. Not like the espresso I had in France. Next the 5.50 for a short cap is too high. Balanced with the marginal taste, its a bad value. The quest to find a GREAT coffee house in New Orleans continues.

Lovely spot, nice people and well made coffee. While not a traditional spot as one would envision in the French Quarter, its got its own more modern charm and is Not Starbucks... Worth a visit for a cup of something good

Came to New Orleans from California and had... Japanese style coffee? Its delicious, not to mention a great way to beat the heat. Along with my oji iced coffee I had some fresh, flavorful, and dense banana bread. Bonus points for the nugget ice in the coffee 😁

Review β„–25

The employees are discourteous and the coffee is not good. I tried a Japanese method cold-brew and found the coffee to be utterly sour. They said thats because the method removes the bitterness, leaving the sourness. Um, no. Thats not what cold-brew should be.

Review β„–26

A pour over with a cup of ice is my standard go-to, added a chocolate croissant (which was awesome). The Peru roast was recommend by one of the three, friendly baristas; as a long time fan of darker roasts I have found myself at the crossroads of breaking the habit. Much like steaks, true flavor profiles take the stage at light-medium coffee roasts, not to mention higher caffeine levels. I will definitely be coming back tomorrow to try another roast, however a cornerstone of a true coffee roaster is the attention to detail which is something these guys have.

This is a great spot to stop in for either a quick hit of caffeine on the run or to sit and enjoy the street views and people watching. Smaller place but just comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The staff is great, approachable and helpful in providing info on the various drink options. On top of all that, they make really good coffee. I am in New Orleans for a week vacation and after the our first stop here on our first day we have made the walk everyday to come get coffee from here. I highly recommend the French Truck if you are in New Orleans.

Everything here is delicious! We ordered mochas, Japanese oija coffee, which is fabulous, new Orleans iced coffee also delicious, and various cookies and scones.

Review β„–35

Very cool, little place. I purchased the Oji (Japanese-style) Iced coffee and it was perfect. Smooth flavor and perfect for a warm day walking around the French Quarter.Edit: After a bit of research, found out that French Truck Coffee is a local chain. That doesn’t diminish how good it was. Plus, some other local places, like the Ruby Slipper Cafe, use their coffee. It’s great to see local businesses supporting one another.

We were greeted warmly by Jessica and our coffee was made by Will. We ordered the Oji iced coffee. Will was lightning fast in preparing it. Jessica extended extra customer service in inquiring how our coffee was. It was a new style of iced coffee that we all enjoyed.

Stopped in mid-afternoon on a weekday, so it wasn’t crowded at all. The location is clean, the baristas friendly and knowledgeable, and the coffee delicious.If you’re looking for a different iced coffee option in the summer heat, the Oji (Japanese style slow-drip) has complex flavor with floral notes. The New Orleans Iced coffee has bold nutty chicory flavor, as you’d expect.

Nice coffee shop to get an ice coffee/latte after long hours of walking. Glad this place is farther out from crowded area. Strong coffee taste. Reasonable price.

Great little outpost for French truck coffee in the French Quarter. Fantastic latte - both hot and iced. Oji coffee was strong and a tough bitter. They have a decent amount of seating for the small space! Pastries looked delicious, too. Lots of options for whole beans.

Wow. Best coffee I had in New Orleans and rivals best coffee Ive had elsewhere. Pricey, but worth it in my opinion. I did the pour over and the coffee was full of flavor. Freshly roasted, too. I would definitely go back if I ever make it back to the city.

Review β„–62

The doors were wide open, we were practically standing outside, and the people sitting inside, at the tables, were not wearing masks. However, the employee, that I can only describe as a whiny, troubled little girl (even though he was a boy), started yelling at us to leave, because we did not put on masks, while we ordered, even though just 2 steps away from him, people were sitting without masks.Beware of the crazy people out there, dumb policies are starting to prevail.

Found this little gem and fell in love. Highly recommend the iced New Orleans coffee with a little sugar--its the best iced coffee drink Ive had in a very long time. I also grabbed the Ethiopian pur over and a ham and cheese croissant. The staff were super nice too and able to have real conversation--they seemed genuinely happy to be there. Im adding this cafe to my list of go tos for every nola visit.

Nice atmosphere and helpful staff. I had some time to kill so I didnt get it to go. Seating in the cafe you have a great view of the world move by. I like just plan black coffee, espresso and pour over. I purchased the large medium roast for just over $3 with tax. Very good coffee not over roasted and clean mouth feel. Next time I will try the pour over.

Review β„–76

French Truck coffee was just a short walk from my hotel, the Sheraton. I ordered a small latte and got a regular coffee to go. The service was prompt and courteous enough considering how busy they were. I took a star off because I asked for cream togo and they told me the cream was at the end of the counter, so I had to guess how much cream instead of letting the person decide when I got back to the hotel.
