If you’re anything like me, you probably believe that a city’s soul shows up in its coffee shops—and in New Orleans, I’ve found that to be especially true. I’ve sipped my way through the city more times than I can count in my 26 years as a travel writer, and I always make time for a good cup. You’ll find that every café here has its own rhythm—some are slow and dreamy, others full of jazz and chatter. I’ve sat in tucked-away corners with beignets and strong chicory brews, and I’ve walked out with both caffeine and inspiration. Whether you’re fueling up for a day of exploring or just looking for a cozy spot to linger, I know you’ll find a favorite of your own here. I sure did.
