When I visited theyre definitely observing a much more safer version of the shop with the doorway covered with a barrier and a table. They have a wonderful pour over black roast that was exactly what I needed! It might take a few minutes to get your drink but its well worth the wait. Make sure to tip your server!

One of the best coffees I’ve ever had. Fantastic original creations, great service, amazing place to stop if you love your coffee.

Amazing little walk up coffee window!! Souvenir shops on each side and a friendly smile comes with the coffee for free ☕

Small but mighty coffee shop! Quality over quantity for the menu as well; only a few specialty items, but they are truly unique and flavorful. My spouse and I both ordered iced specialty drinks. The iced coffee is strong. For those concerned about COVID protocol, there is a sturdy boundary between customers and employee. Service was excellent. We had a nice conversation with the employee about visiting Japan. To-go orders only.

The coffee was good but I didn’t taste any Mexican vanilla. Also, I spilled the coffee a little and she said they don’t have so either lying or incompetent.

Adorable little coffee shop in the French Quarter. This is where the locals go, and for good reason. Get the Las Tres Flores latte. It was *so* good, and with a really pretty presentation. Super nice barista and some great conversation while waiting in line. I would defintiely go back next time Im in NOLA!

Coffee was good but service was so slow we won’t be returning. Waited 35 minutes for a cup of coffee with only a couple people in line ahead of me, and this is not a sit-down cafe it’s a walk-up window.

Really nice little cute cafe on St. Peter street with some solid espresso drinks. The cafe is pretty small so its easy to miss it while walking along the street but look for the spitfire coffee sign and you will strike gold. Their lattes and cappuccinos are really strong and rich. The rose petals sprinkled on the lavender milk latte gives it a nice flavor and aroma. All in all, this is a really good coffee shop with awesome espressos and very courteous staff. We would certainly be visiting again for their espressos and whole heatedly recommend it to others!

This place is a tiny cafe in the french quarter and there is not a lot of space to sit down and enjoy your coffee but they make good coffees here... macchiato and milk chocolate with almond milk were amazing... kind staff as well and clean place... I totally enjoyed my coffee here...

Must-visit place for coffee lovers. One and only true coffee in New Orleans (or at least in French Quarter). Pour-over, cold brew, cappuccino or even basic americano - all made with high-quality beans and high professionalism of barista. Great place to pause in the middle of a noisy tourist center

Spitfire coffee was awesome! I really wanted to try a locally owned coffee shop in the French Quarter and I have absolutely no regrets. Talking to the workers felt like I was just talking to friends and the Mexican vanilla latte was delicious. Definitely go check it out if you find yourself in the quarter! :)

Review №23

This coffee shop was recommended to us. Its teeny tiny and I did think it was adorable. I wasnt thrilled with the service. A little too pretentious. We had a Brown Butter Mocha and a Mexican Vanilla Latte with alternative milk. Neither of us liked our coffees and we both ended dumping them out. I cant think of a time I threw out a coffee Id purchased like this. We both tried to power through, but both of our coffees were just not tasty.

Review №25

Small space with a good selection of pour over coffees. The espresso menu is complete with lattes, macchiato, and cortado. We tried the brown butter mocha and Mexican vanilla latte. The mocha had a dark, bittersweet chocolate. The vanilla latte had a strong vanilla flavor, but was not too sweet. Definitely check this place out, it is worth it!

Review №26

Specialty coffee oasis right in the city. The espresso is fantastic, a longer double shot that was really well extracted and super nuanced. Cappuccino and the brown butter mocha (!!) were real well made, well steamed and well presented. The barista knew what he was doing for sure!Cant wait to return to this place

Review №27

In my opinion this is the best espresso in the city (2018). They will throw away shots until the get it right. Well worth the wait and the staff has always been very friendly

Worlds smallest drink selection ever. But the service is on point. Drinks are always precise and measured. Curt and quick service. Lavender coffee is the best. Weird at first if it’s you’re first time but so good!

Walking in to this cafe you can immediately smell the fresh coffee they use and the taste of their coffee is as good as the smell, with multiple expresso options we chose lattes and were really happy with our decision as the taste was amazing. Best coffee i have had in New Orleans

Review №34

The Cuban Cortado at Spitfire Coffee came highly recommended and Im so glad we had the chance to stop by on our visit. It was fantastic, best coffee Ive had in New Orleans so far! The barista was friendly and helpful, even while working under covid restrictions. I highly recommend if youre in the French quarter that you take the time to stop off and have some coffee.

This was the worst latte I ever had. It tasted like watered down espresso with milk. It left a film in my mouth too. The only thing good about this place is that they gave me my money back.

Review №37

Can we have a serious conversation for a moment? I know it’s early.I’ve been on a, sometimes hopeless, search for the perfect cup of coffee. I order coffee online, sometimes find some at small businesses, and other times a restaurant. Let me be clear, I don’t mean some commercialized coffee store! I mean C O F F E E! Finding genuinely good coffee ☕️ is a task. So, when I do, I celebrate exponentially while grasping the hot cup of delicious, bold, savory, God-like, scrumptious goodness!So, do you now have a slight grasp of how I feel about coffee?? Ok, then let’s chat! This place surpasses every good thing I’ve ever felt about coffee. I, seriously, wanted to take the top off my cup and crawl down inside the cup and swim in it! It’s that much of a pleasure to drink it.While I’d like to keep my love affair private, I’m choosing to share with you. Therefore, you should go try it!

Really good coffee in the Quarter. Pour overs, cold brew, iced coffee, espresso drinks. Nice selection of beans and soy and almond milk. It is a small space inside, so get it to go and sit in the park and enjoy the day.

Great coffee, friendly staff. No frills, just a small simple coffee shop. Dont expect to sit down, as there is only seating for about 4 or 5 people. But great to just pick up and go. If youre a coffee snob, youll love the coffee. If youre looking for a cafe to sit and and people watch, look elsewhere.

Pretty good - dont miss their specials list on the little white piece of paper, they can be interesting. Nice to hide in the hole in the wall spot on a cold day, with fine people watching and pleasant staff with whom to chat. We had two cortados, one with a house muscado sugar thing.

If you are looking for great coffee in the French Quarter, then you should definitely visit Spitfire.

This place has some of the most unique coffee drinks Ive ever had. It is not your typical Starbucks and it may take a moment to look at the menu to pick out what you want, but it is definitely worth it if you like unique flavors! They have some really unique pastries as well.

Review №53

Giving a five stars because the staff is great and I never had an issue. Me and my gf have been coming for years. Only one issue is coffee is a little rushed when the line is long and missing some love. However due to covid Im giving them another chance before I rate again. Just please take time dont let these other rude people stress yall out, its a little shop and patience is a virtue. Good luck see yall soon

Delicious. Excellent flavor, perfect temperature. It is a tiny place, and we walked by it and back before we found it.I gave it four stars because you can not make your own if you want a specific drink (Caramel lattes are out). They have a menu of 3 flavored lattes. I chose the Mexican vanilla (half sweet). It was wonderful.

I love local coffee shops as they offer a bit different taste and style than a traditional one in my opinion. I got the cold brew with some vanilla and cream... so smooth and delicious! Please do yourself a favor and step away from the chains to give this place a try!

Review №81

Top notch shop. They do a lot in their 250 square feet. They have a stellar rotation of roasters (some offered as a pour over and others offered as cold brew) as well as the typical line up of espresso and espresso m-based drinks (with the addition of a few signature espresso drinks). I had two different pour overs (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) and both were prepared extremely well. Will be my first and last stop every time I visit the Big Easy.

This place sells the best coffee I have ever had. It is bound to have a line but is definitely worth the wait. Be patient and order from the menu..this is not a Starbucks where you custom order your drink and it shows. This is way better than Starbucks.Order the Mexican Vanilla Latte with oat milk. This mixture is amazing.

I love this little place. I go every time Im near Jackson Square.If you are a coffee lover, this place is a real savior in the area. There are lots of great espresso and pour over options here. Roast options are always changing, but always high quality. They also have coldbrew if its too hot out.There isnt much room inside, but thats not what this place is about.

If you are in the French Quarter...go here! This is not at all a far walk from much of the tourist attractions in the area, and it’s a great stop if you’re coming and going in the morning. They have many creative selections to choose from. The staff was incredibly friendly both times I went.

Great spot if your in the French Quarter looking for a quality pour over. Since the coffee scene hasn’t quite made it to New Orleans, this was a pleasant surprise. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. I’ll definitely be back when I visit NOLA again.

Incredible. Get the Mexican vanilla latte. It’s not super sugary but so smooth. Staff was nice and seemed to like being there. It is very small, so if you see a line, it might be a while. My husband and I went here every day of our NOLA trip. Highly recommended.

Hole in the wall..... Literally! We almost didnt even see this place, but so glad we did. Only one employee was working, which got a little crazy when several people walked in. Ordered a vanilla latte, which was super tasty! Even though she was busy, she didnt neglect the pour over my husband ordered.If I lived locally, Id be at Spitfire all the time!

Hidden gem of a coffee shop right next to the park and all the touristy spots. Excellent cortados and coffee. Theres a small bit of a wait usually but thats the extra price you pay for their quality coffee/service which definitely makes it worth the trip.
