CR Coffee Shop
3618 Magazine St, New Orleans, LA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into the Garden District, CR Coffee Shop is a reliably excellent neighborhood spot where consistency and kindness go hand in hand—regulars rave about how the genuinely warm staff and quality medium roasts create a safe, welcoming space that feels like home. Beyond their espresso-focused drinks, they're getting creative with their specialty offerings like their creamy frozen matcha that rivals any slushie, and they thoughtfully stock multiple non-dairy milk options throughout. Whether you're settling in for a slow sit on their charming outdoor patio or grabbing a fresh pastry, you'll find yourself in one of New Orleans' most beloved coffee destinations where attention to detail matters just as much as the coffee itself.”

I really like this coffee shop. It's consistent in all the ways and as someone on the spectrum, sometimes that's all I'm looking for. They have a decent medium roast and everyone's always really nice. Great atmosphere that gives a living room coffee shop vibe. Appreciate y'all so much!
I got the frozen matcha. I’d never had a frozen version of a matcha before, but it was really good! It was similar to a slushie, but rather than being watery, it was so creamy and flavorful. Even as it was melting, it did not get watery at all. Definitely recommend it!
Food: A tad bit pricey but so fresh and yummy 😋. The coffee is fresh and hot with a variety of nondairy milk options. Service: Sweet young lady taking care of her customers with a smile. She knows her coffee for sure. Excellent customer service! Atmosphere: Cute and cozy little spot with a working vibe. Folks are not there to relax and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Everyone is heads down and in tune with their laptops and so was I, lol. However, I was craving a tad of NOLA friendliness and joy.
The coffee is delicious! The staff is kind and helpful. The outdoor area is great for when the weather is nice. My one criticism is that the music is too loud for such a small area. During colder months, it's not my first option for a coffee shop to work/study in because of this, but I'd recommend their coffee!
Came across this cafe wandering around the Garden District/Magazine St. This coffee shop is adorable! And hands-down the best coffee in New Orleans. We found out there’s also a CR Coffee at the airport, so had the pleasure of buying their coffee beans as a caffeinated souvenir.
