Discover specialty coffee in different parts of New Orleans
New Orleans is not historically a specialty coffee city. Its own deep tradition, the chicory-laced cafe au lait most famously served at tourist institutions like Cafe Du Monde, long defined what coffee meant here, and for years left little room for third-wave sensibilities. That has changed considerably over the past decade, and the city now has a genuine specialty scene worth seeking out.
