Rue De La Course
1140 S Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Housed in a converted New Orleans bank with soaring ceilings and a charming loft (complete with the original safe), Rue De La Course manages to feel both spacious and intimately cozy, making it the perfect refuge for lingering conversations or focused work. They take their craft seriously, grinding their own beans and baking pastries in-house while offering a curated selection of local-flavored syrups, and the baristas bring genuine warmth to every order. It's a beautifully nostalgic spot that honors old New Orleans while serving some genuinely excellent espresso-focused coffee.”

Big, like rooominous high ceiling large room big. But still somehow tiny coffee shop feel, like your conversations stay in this cozy nice bubble. Bagels with lox is something I have to try to give it a better thought. And the egg sandwich. Espresso drinks are gooood. But I'm a tea guy, so I always want more variety there.
I LOVE the vibe of this place! It takes you back in time while the coffee warms your heart. The baristas are very friendly. Make sure you check out the posters in the back for local events and news. One of my favorite coffee spots for sure!
It's a good place to work with a laptop and headphones since it can get very loud. There is not much natural light so try to find a spot near the windows. I've been here a couple of times and I always get disappointed by how they serve the cappuccino 😞 it's purely coffee and milk foam... Also they could be more transparent with the prices. They have a huge chalkboard with all the drinks they serve but they don't specify the prices. Very tricky!
Beautiful inside!!!!! They grind their own beans and bake their pastries in house (also offer large selection of local flavored syrups). Environment was very welcoming and building just has that old time charm. Can’t wait to go back. P.S., don’t forget to pay for your street parking- unless it’s Sunday.
Good coffee and very open and airy atmosphere, lots of tables to sit at, there’s even a loft. From what I can understand it’s in an old bank, which is kinda cool, the safe is upstairs in the loft, there tall ceiling and huge windows. Definitely a good place to come do some work or study. There were no lounge type seating fyi. There is also pastries and light lunch fare here
