French Truck Coffee
3420 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA
Crema's Take
“Nestled inside Whole Foods in Metairie, this espresso-focused spot wins hearts with genuinely warm staff who make the cramped space feel welcoming despite the chaotic parking lot situation. Their cortados and lattes hit the mark for smooth, approachable espresso drinks, though serious dark roast devotees might find their roast profile leaning lighter than expected. It's the kind of place where a friendly barista's recommendation matters more than the squeeze-in seating—perfect for a quick specialty coffee fix or a lingering chat with a friend.”

Not a great experience - have to deal with the crazy Whole Foods parking lot and the cafe itself is small. Drinks are fine but the biggest disappointment was they didn't sell any of the french truck beans. Had to go get them from the Whole Foods who had a terrible selection. Convenient if you're nearby but if you want the true French Truck experience I'd look to another location.
Stopped by the French Truck Coffee location inside Whole Foods and was impressed! The strand greeted us with warm smiles and genuine friendliness, setting a welcoming tone right from the start. Ordered the New Orleans Iced Coffee, the Oji Drip Iced Coffee, and almond croissants. Both coffee selections were exceptional: bold, smooth, and perfectly balanced in flavor. The New Orleans Ice Coffee had a rich, creamy depth with just the right hint of sweetness, while the Oji Drip Iced Coffee offered a clean, refreshing finish that truly highlights the quality of their cold brew process. The almond croissant was a standout as well, flaky on the outside, soft inside, and not overly sweet. This was a lovely experience from start to finish, and we’re already looking forward to coming back to explore more of their menu. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!
Inside of Whole Foods Market, I had a good, quick experience here. Delicious latte and sweet workers.
Horrible coffee! We are avid, espresso, drinkers, and their espresso was absolutely horrid. If you’d like blonde, or red espresso, this may be for you, but if you are a passionate, dark roast espresso lover, you will want to skip this place. Service team was knowledgeable about coffee, but did not seem to be very passionate about it . The espresso appeared to be pulled correctly, but just tasted horrible. I wanted to love this place so that I could get a coffee whenever I’m at Whole Foods but … Whole Foods, before they were owned by Amazon, used to have their own coffee, roaster and brand here and the coffee was excellent.
Enjoyed my first time at French Truck Coffee. It’s inside Whole Foods Market. I ordered a Cortado 😋. The staff were friendly! They were very helpful when it came to a decision on which blend of coffee to chose.
