Saint Coffee
2718 St Claude Ave, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“This 7th Ward gem practically glows with creative energy, boasting a free-spirited vibe anchored by genuinely exceptional staff and a sprawling backyard garden that's equally suited for deep work or lingering over conversation. Beyond solid traditional espresso drinks, they're earning serious love for their standout chai and ambitiously good breakfast—think grit bowls and breakfast burritos alongside thoughtful vegan and gluten-free options—all at prices that feel almost impossible for New Orleans right now. It's the kind of place regulars can't stop raving about because it nails every element: the coffee quality, the food, the local art on the walls, and that rare intangible thing—a space that actually feels like home.”

The establishment is really cozy, and the customer service was good. I tried a cortado, or cortadito - as we say in Miami. It lacked balance. I ordered a cold brew with cream and caramel. They use real caramel, which was outstanding.
Wow! What a gem! I can’t believe I just discovered this place after 2 years of cafe hopping in Nola. This place has everything: phenomenal, genuine staff providing exceptional customer service, high quality ingredient drinks and food I’m talking house made syrups, artisan loose leaf teas, and locally made fresh pastries. I had the best bagel I probably ever had here. It was so dense and flavorful you could tell it came straight from an artisan bakery and not a factory. And they have a nice private outdoor seating courtyard! I hate being indoors and hate AC I’m an outdoors working on my laptop all year round kind of girl and it’s so hard to find cafes with nice private quiet courtyards for working. I love this place I will be a regular as long as I’m in Nola!
One of my favorite coffee shops in the city. The chai is probably the best I've found around town too. Yummy breakfast options. Gluten free and vegan options. Local art for sale. Amazing vibe and staff. Sarah is the besssstt :) 10/10, you should go!
Feeling lucky this was the first meal of my trip to Nola. Great breakfast options including bagels, burritos, breakfast sandwiches and my favorite, grit bowls. For $5.50, I couldn’t turn it town. Despite inflation it seems the prices have seemed steady over the year but you couldn’t tell by quality - the food was made with love. The sautéed onions and peppers, the best cheese grits I’ve had in a long time. All milk and cream types including oat milk available at the bar. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating in their massive yard. Check out their vintage rack, really nice variety of stuff at a great price and profits go to charity. Everyone here seems to go above and beyond, I’d be here every day if I lived nearby!!!
Located in the 7th Ward, this free spirited funky and eclectic shop is the perfect spot to start your day on a exciting note. A large backyard patio/garden is perfect to get work done or just chill. The coffee is amazing with great flavor and a great array of choices. It's definitely a local spot with so much character and attitude. I loved they have a gender neutral restroom, which is so clean with a wonderful fragrance and even had a basket with complimentary toiletries and personal items for everyone. Definitely LGBTQ+ friendly and a staff that is awesome!
