Crema's Take

Tucked right next to New Orleans' historic cemeteries, this spot serves meticulously crafted coffee and creative house-made syrups in a delightfully eerie atmosphere that perfectly captures the city's gothic spirit. The matcha lattes and signature creative drinks draw loyal regulars, while the outdoor porch seating offers a uniquely moody vibe—you can literally watch over the gravesites while sipping your coffee. It's become a favorite for both locals working nearby and visitors seeking an authentic NOLA experience that goes far beyond the typical café.

I love this coffee shop is so close to work. They take care in making quality coffee and house made syrups. The Matcha Latte is delicious! I add a little house made rose syrup and it’s beautiful!

Near the Canal Streetcar end by the Historic NOLA Cemeteries and across the street from the NOLA Katrina Memorial. On street parking can be difficult but it's available. Or, Park nearby and enjoy all the sights as you walk there. The owner/staff is awesome. The coffee is fresh and delicious. The baked goods are definitely worth trying.

This place is a new favorite. You must stop in here if you are visiting New Orleans. The zombie atmosphere is the cutest. Right next door to the cemetery. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch and admiring the tombs while sipping our coffee. The coffee is top notch. We had the PB Zombie. It was so flavorful. I love peanut butter coffee drinks and this was one of the best I’ve had. We were visiting from Maryland and saw it recommended on Tik Tok. So glad we took the streetcar 13 stops to try it. We leave tomorrow so we decided to hit it one more time before we left. This place is now on my list every October when we return. Great service, coffee and atmosphere.
