St Noir Cafe
1128 St Roch Ave, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“St Noir Café is a beloved Black-owned gem where the wait is genuinely worth it, thanks to standout creations like the Ms. Rose and homemade pastries that taste like they came straight from someone's kitchen. The vibe here is unshakeable—think aesthetic interiors, unhurried conversations, and staff who treat you like family whether you're settling in with your laptop or hosting your book club. Whether you're after their signature creative drinks or just a space to slow down, this is the kind of New Orleans spot that gets added to your must-visit list after one visit.”

Slight wait that is SO worth it! The Ms. Rose is absolutely delicious! My blueberry pastry taste like Mawmaw made it in her kitchen🖤
This coffee shop is such a vibe! There was only one person working when I walked in, but he was really patient and nice when he rang me up. The inside is very aesthetic and had a chill atmosphere. Because of Yelp Elite, I was able to try sample flights of 3 of their drinks: Espresso Martini, Ms. Rose, & Magic Blue. They were all so good! You can definitely taste the authentic matcha with the Magic Blue. The Ms. Rose has a subtle floral hint, but it blended well with the coffee. You can never go wrong with an Espresso Martini. It wasn’t overpowering, but it didn’t lack flavor at the same time. The flavor was right in between just the way I like it. My personal favorite would be the Ms. Rose, but all of them were good. There’s only street parking available, so just be mindful of that. Overall, I would recommend trying out St. Noir Cafe if you’re in the NOLA area. A very chill coffee spot.
I’m on a journey to try different local coffee shops and stopped here on a Sunday morning. The place is beautiful with a nice vibe. The lady that took our order was friendly and welcoming. The lady making the drinks not so much. They had music playing loud and people talking amongst their party and she barely said our name loud enough for us to hear. We had 2 iced lattes and had to figure out which was which because she just sat them at the hand off with no direction or label on them. Overall I would go back because everything was good despite the little mess up.
So this has definitely been added to my must visit list when I come back to New Orleans! This black owned cafe has everything you need for an amazing experience not matter when you visit! My first visit was during their event on Wednesday evening Pause and Pour! I went solo but by the end of the event, I had made a few new friends! The vibes were so great and the DJ definitely helped with that! In my same visit I decided to check it out during the day to do some work since I’m a remote worker. It was perfect. Very chill with good music and even better coffee. As I said… no matter when you come, you’ll have a good time. Highly recommend.
I’ve had the pleasure of hosting my book club at St. Noir Café twice now, and each time has been an absolutely wonderful experience. The atmosphere is welcoming, the coffee and food are fantastic, and most importantly, the customer service is top-notch. A huge thank you to the owners—Sam, Ava, Corey, and Dylen—for not only letting us hold our events here, but for creating a space that truly feels like a beacon of hope in the community. Their kindness and commitment shine through in everything they do, and it makes St. Noir so much more than just a café—it’s a gathering place where people feel valued and inspired. If you’re in New Orleans and looking for a spot that combines great drinks, cozy vibes, and genuine hospitality, look no further than St. Noir Café. 🌟
