Crema's Take

Tucked into the Lower Garden District with streetcar views from its front windows, High Grinds is a beautifully designed third-place that makes excellent coffee while you watch the rhythms of St. Charles Avenue unfold. The knowledgeable baristas excel at both traditional espresso drinks and creative specialties, and the space smartly balances a bright, social front area with quieter tables in back—whether you're meeting friends or settling in for focused work. There's a genuine sense of community here, with staff who clearly care about both their craft and making this long-neglected neighborhood corner feel like somewhere people actually want to be.

I went to the soft opening and fell in love with this place. Beautiful space, gorgeous design, Mojo coffee, what more can you ask for? Definitely a good place to work or just stare endlessly out the window. I’ll be back soon. And don’t miss the wallpaper in the back!

Great new coffee shop in an area of the Lower Garden District that needed one! Added bonus that I could sit and watch the streetcars go by on St. Charles Avenue while I enjoyed my latte. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!!!!!

A much needed coffee shop for this part of town! Coffee was great and they will start carrying gracious bakery treats soon. Good lighting in the front and plenty of quiet tables in back for work or studying. Owner was in when we got coffee and he was really enthusiastic and also had a lot to say about the thc wellness products they sell.

Came by during their soft opening phase this morning- friendly staff, good coffee, and gorgeous setting. Perfect place to grab a drink if you're waiting on the streetcar stop right in front!

Beautiful building with great atmosphere to hang out or just check out the street cars as it rolled by. Barista’s were very helpful with all types of products, THC and caffeine and non-caffeinated. Plenty of space in the back to work in quiet.
