French Press CoffeeHouse

4205 Airline Dr, Metairie, LA

★★★★4.1(527 Google reviews)

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.

Awesome experience! Friendly and helpful staff, delicious (and reasonably priced!) food and beverage options, wonderfully comfortable atmosphere inside. Loved it — & will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you! (Wish we had a location like this at home in Indiana!)

I've been here 3 times. The first time, I was handed a vanilla latte that had coffee all over the outside of the cup, which then got all over my car. The second time, I got an oat latte. It was fine. This time, I waited in the drive thru for 10 minutes with no movement whatsoever before I had to drive away. I'm sure the coffee is good, but you just can't be that slow at 8 in the morning.

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 minutes) was absurd given the rather normal line in front of me (maybe 6 cars). When I pulled up to the order window, I was told to "please hold, we will be with you in a minute" which turned into 10 minutes of me sitting there. I finally ordered (or so I thought...) and was told to please pull forward. When I made my way to the window, a barista tried to hand me an iced latte (my order was a medium creme brulee la freeze) so I politely told the individual that the drink in their hand was not my order. It turns out no one took my order, so it was not in the system at all. I had to re-give them my order, and after waiting another 10-15 minutes, I was handed (what I thought) was my drink and drove away. I did not think to try my drink immediately because I was already fed up with waiting in line for 40 minutes, and I figured it had to be correct because I just gave the worker my order only a few minutes ago. After almost getting to my job, I take a sip--I asked for no whipped cream (there was whipped cream) and I ordered a creme brulee la freeze--there was no flavoring in my drink and it tasted BITTER, almost to the point where I could not drink it. I have never been one to complain about bad experiences, but this was just ridiculous. I do not think I will be back to this location, which makes me sad because I used to go here almost daily, and I hadn't had any major problems previously.

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 ordered an ice coffee and it came hot. Again the worst part was when I had to go back in the get the muffin they acted like I was bothering them. If I could give 0 stars I would. This was the location on Airline by Rallys
