Baldwin & Co. coffee + bookstore
1030 Elysian Fields Ave, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Baldwin & Co. beautifully marries a curated bookstore with a thoughtfully designed café, creating a space that feels like a beloved local sanctuary where you'll actually want to linger for hours. The team here excels at both craft—their iced matcha lattes and specialty drinks like turmeric lattes are excellent—and hospitality, genuinely helping you find exactly what you need while maintaining an atmosphere that's warm, spotlessly maintained, and filled with tasteful music. Whether you're settling in with a book, meeting a friend, or enjoying their housemade pastries on the outdoor patio, this New Orleans gem strikes that rare balance of being both a serious coffee destination and a genuinely welcoming community space.”
What to expect
