Cafe Bon Ami

I have the opportunity of having my coffee here most of the mornings that I was in town. I saw this place as a refuge go-to from wild from Carnival to Mardi Gras and then peaceful as everyone left town. The staff is funny and kind both Celeste & Cyrus are very welcoming and make you feel like a local even if you’re traveling from Los Angeles on your annual trip to Mardi Gras. I love the decor and the com vibe of the space and next time I promise I’ll buy a mug.

Such a great spot in NOLA. I will definitely be making a visit every time I make a trip to NOLA. The service was amazing and the drinks were even better. Great craft coffee with house-made syrups that will blow your mind. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

The Banana Bread Latte is on point. The best latte I've ever had! They make the syrup in-house with fresh bananas. It is the perfect blend of coffee and sweetness. A must try in a quite, peaceful environment.

While I love the normal haunts, I have been looking for a better place for coffee and maybe pastries. Today, I found Bon Ami. The store is very cute, had ample seating and tons of power. I am sure it does very well when the city wakes up. I was excited to see Pistachio as a flavor and to be fair, it did not disappoint. My lattee was delicious. I am not a coffee snob or expert, but this thing was delicious. That said, the barista, while clearly skilled, seemed to have regulars (I am a fan of this as I am one many places) but it led to walk ins going unnoticed or even acknowledged. I thought maybe it was just me but as I sat and drank my latte, I saw it as a pattern. She was friendly once engaged and * know it is a tough gig, but it made a place that would have been 5 Stars drop as I felt like I interrupted a get together that I wasn't invited to. I had a danish as well but it was nothing special. Great spot, convenient, fantastic coffee and maybe just a bad morning for the barista. Side note. The spot is very dog friendly so if that is a thing for you, that was pretty cool. The longer I sat, the more clear the regulars are adored. I don't think the barista doesn't like strangers, but there is a pronounced difference in experience.

It was a cozy and warm café. The coffee was great, and the strawberry matcha latte was surprisingly delicious. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. Since they close early in the afternoon, I’d recommend coming a bit earlier.
