Petite Clouet Café
3100 Royal St, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Petite Clouet is a beloved Bywater neighborhood favorite that nails the cozy, welcoming vibe with genuinely joyful staff who make you feel like a regular from day one. Their espresso drinks shine—particularly their standout dirty chai with perfect spice balance—and they thoughtfully cater to dietary preferences with vegan and gluten-free pastries alongside solid coffee that invites you to linger over conversation. This is the kind of place that feels restorative, where good music plays at just the right volume and the whole experience lands somewhere between a best friend's kitchen and that iconic Friends coffee shop.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

As someone who lives in the bywater, this is my go to spot when I'm in town! Truly my favorite cafè in Nola. The vibe is super cozy, the staff is extremely friendly, the coffee is fantastic and don't get me started on their sweets! Their chocolate cake and carrot cake are…
This place is great for the nervous system. Good vibes always. Fantastic coffee, delicious snacks including vegan and gluten free options. It's the closest thing to Central Perk (Friends reference) I ever witnessed. Laptop friendly. Dog friendly. Come as you are friendly. Love…
I love this little neighborhood gem in the sleepy Bywater. The staff are always so friendly & warm, they have the BEST dirty chai I’ve had in town (perfect amount of spice with a hint of sweetness), and their ham & swiss croissant is delicious! Great place to write, work, or…
Very nice people behind the counter. Mixed berries tart was excellent. The coffee is good, but does not excel (high standards) They put pretty good music, and not overly loud. Feels like a local place from another world.
Extremelyyy friendly staff, so joyful, adorable, welcoming, genuine, put a smile on your face when you’re having a bad day. Oat flat white was good, and loved having a vegan banana bread option! Super affordable too (compared to where I currently live in Miami haha)
