French Press CoffeeHouse
4205 Airline Dr, Metairie, LA
Crema's Take
“This Metairie spot captures the espresso-forward, pour-over-focused energy of a true coffee lover's haven, where skilled baristas take their craft seriously and the atmosphere welcomes you to settle in for hours with your laptop or a friend. The vibe here leans cozy and intentional—reviewers rave about the comfortable space and genuinely courteous staff who keep things running smoothly even during the morning rush, though consistency can be hit-or-miss during peak times. With a solid foundation of traditional and specialty drinks alongside light food options at reasonable prices, it's the kind of neighborhood coffeehouse where regulars keep coming back for that perfect espresso pull or carefully executed pour over.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Extremely courteous staff. When they're very busy, they're concentrating on their orders, but never are they rude. It's always clean. I live uptown and I chose to visit this location only.
I have been a long time French Press customer, but this morning was the worst experience I think I have ever had here. I am aware this location (French Press on Airline Hwy.) is very busy around rush hour traffic, but the waiting that had to be done this morning (almost 40…
Worst experience here. On 2.1.2025 @ 930 the person working was so rude and dismissive. The service was the absolute worst part of the experience. I ordered 4 items and they got one correct. They served me this burnt croissant, didn't give me the muffin I paid for, I…
