Backatown Coffee Parlour
301 Basin St #1, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“This Backatown gem pairs thoughtfully crafted cold brew and creative specialty drinks with a genuine neighborhood vibe that draws regulars and visitors alike. Beyond the coffee, the kitchen shines with fresh, crave-worthy options ranging from delicate quiches to inventive brunch plates like crawfish melts and Vietnamese iced coffee, making it easy to linger for hours. It's the kind of place where the community clearly gathers—Black-owned and woman-owned—with a warmth in both the space and service that makes you want to come back.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
