Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Harvey

"Another wonderful French Quarter fave, Cafe Amelie is perfect for a romantic dinner or laid-back brunch. The central courtyard is filled with greenery and the menu never fails to impress. Its patio heaters also make it a wonderful option for a cozy winter date night!"

"Café Beignet is a charming, intimate bistro in the heart of the French Quarter that serves authentic Cajun fare in a warm and welcoming setting. With locations on Bourbon and Royal Streets, Cafe Beignet serves tasty fried beignets and other sweet treats, along with a full breakfast every day of the week. Diners line up to get a seat inside or on the lovely outdoor patio and tuck into fluffy omelets with various fillings like andouille sausage, bacon, cheese and spinach, French toast, and Pecan Nut Waffles."

"311 Bourbon St., (504) 525-2611; 334 Royal St., (504) 524-5530; Shops at Jax Brewery, 600 Decatur St.; www.cafebeignet.com. An andouille omelet includes white cheddar cheese and is served with grits and French bread."

"There’s outdoor seating available for you to enjoy the music and it’s connected to Café Beignet (the BEST beignets), if you’d like a snack along with your musical enjoyment."

"Carmo specializes in tropical cuisine, featuring dishes from Southeast Asia, West Africa, the Caribbean, and more.

"Café du Monde is the most famous place to get ahold of some deep-fried sugary goodness, but the real MVP is actually Café Beignet. I know I’m likely going to get hate comments for this, but my friend and I both did side by side taste tests and agreed that Café Beignet’s version is lighter, fluffier and overall yummier."

"Snack time at Cafe du Monde Gotta get some beignets or you didn’t come to NOLA. Have them with cafe au lait or hot chocolate. Beignets are just deep-fried dough drowning in powdered sugar."

"This cozy coffee shop has lots of seating options, and their large communal tables make for a great study spot when surrounded by other hard-workers. My iced latte was a 10/10, and even though I didn't grab anything to eat here, I loved being in the middle of Freret– down the street from some of NOLA's best restaurants. For a delicious study break, try Dat Dog, Good Bird, or Sprout and Press."

"With three locations nestled around New Orleans, Mojo has proven it’s a staple in NOLA’s coffee scene. In Mojo’s friendly atmosphere, enjoy your cup of coffee with one of their pastries or tasty breakfast bites."

"Luca Eats, a café in the Carrollton neighborhood, is known for its pressed sandwiches, like apples and brie for breakfast and the popular Cubano for lunch. No matter when you stop in, the Oreo beignets are always on the menu. How do they combine those two disparate elements into one famous dessert?"

"3218 Dauphine St., (504) 304-5962; 7901 Maple St., (504) 309-5557; www.satsumacafe.com. A special BLT features Nueske’s bacon, tomato, avocado, goat cheese and arugula on sourdough or wheat bread."

"Lilly’s Café is primarily a Vietnamese restaurant and one of the leading joints worth checking out if you are interested in the best Asian restaurants in New Orleans. It is a relatively small joint but smartly designed, with comfortable seating and a great ambiance. They have an incredible menu that will take you right into the heart of Vietnam, featuring common specialties such as banh mi, pho, and delicious wraps among others."

"Just like any other city, the culinary scene in New Orleans has grown to reflect its residents. Lilly’s Café is a Vietnamese restaurant that calls the Lower Garden District its home. The spicy shrimp phở is a nod to the deep seafood heritage of the city, with its ever changing and expanding food culture."

"This beloved Lower Garden District Vietnamese cafe known for its pho is currently open for takeout, daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and dine-in from 11 a.m."

"Piece of Meat’s Smith makes the bologna for this wildly popular sandwich shop, which nabbed Food & Wine’s 2017 award. There’s a lot to love here. Fieri fell for the Collard Green Melt and playful Tacos Inauthenticos, filled with headcheese, jalapeños, sour cream, American cheese and “shrettuce."

"To call Turkey and the Wolf a sandwich shop is like calling A Clockwork Orange a movie about teenagers. Chef Mason Hereford and his merry band of cooks play fast and loose with the rules of sandwich-dom. The freewheeling open-all-day spot is fun, it’s kitschy and, most important, it all works."

"The Crepe Cart has closed its standalone restaurant in Bywater, but it maintains its original French Market stand. Here, you’ll find classic, vegan and gluten-free crepes in flavors ranging from sweet to savory. Stuffed with spinach and tomatoes, the hummus crepe is a hearty choice for vegans, and the strawberry and Nutella version is a perfect option when you aren’t sure if you want to eat lunch or skip straight to dessert."

"Protecting six different locations in and around NOLA, the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve adds up to 22,421 acres, encompassing bayou, prairie, swamp and the site of the Battle of New Orleans (1815) at Chalmette Battlefield and National Cemetery. The park also looks after the French Quarter Visitor Center, which maps the history of New Orleans and the many cultures of the Mississippi Delta in Louisiana, going into language, music, livelihoods and architecture. A little way south of New Orleans in Marrero is the expansive Barataria Preserve, where marsh, swamps and hardwood forest are crawling with gators, snakes and turtles."

"We started our day with a visit to the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve Visitor Center. There are actually six different units within this one park site… The French Quarter Visitor Center is a great place to start your visit and get information not only about the Historical Park, but about the history of New Orleans. A ranger presentation at the French Quarter Visitor Center of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve."

"The Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve is another great park to visit if your family loves nature and animals. The Barataria Preserve located in Marrero Louisiana is about 30 minutes outside of New Orleans, if your family is in town for a while, I recommend visiting this park. For more information on The Jean LaFitte National Historical Park and Preserve visit https://www.nps.gov/jela/barataria-preserve.htm"

"This spectacular oasis in the middle of NOLA’s uptown area features multiple picnic spots, playgrounds, a jogging trail, riding stables, a golf course, and more. It stretches from St. Charles Avenue (making it an easy trip on the streetcar) to Magazine Street, and right across Magazine, you’ll find the impressive Audubon Zoo."

"Audubon Park boasts a great green lawn overhung by live oak trees in Uptown. One of our favorite spots for river-watching, the Fly, is located here. At the Fly, you can stroll along the riverside while kids play and pets poke around the trees."

"The New Orleans Botanical Garden was designed during the Great Depression era as a project for the Works Progress Administration. It is one of the few examples of a public garden still remaining to this day from the Art Deco Period. Come out to see this amazing beauty and learn about the different plants that reside in the garden!"

"The retro-industrial vibes of this cafe make it a cosy place to chow down on some of NOLA’s best vegan food. The menu is cute and creative, divided into two sections, “good cat” or “bad cat,” depending on how healthy you’re feeling. We recommend their vegan quesadillas with a side of one of their delicious juices."

"Bearcat is a nice, beautiful space: From the outside, it looks really modern, and inside there’s a lot of windows, so it’s bright and open, and you feel good. The restaurant attracts mostly a college-age crowd, and older—not a lot of kids. It’s got table service, and they do brunch every day."

"This sleek and minimalist daytime cafe is a light and airy space for delicious, plant-based comfort foods. They make favourites ranging from pancakes and biscuits to fruit bowls and eggs with sweet potato hash. The artisan coffees are a must too."

"Opened in 2017 in the Garden District, Lula is New Orleans’ only Creole/Southern restaurant with an in-house distillery. Partner Jess Bourgeois, formerly of Commander’s Palace, handles the restaurant while co-owner Bear Caffrey, a Baton Rouge ER doctor with a penchant for chemistry, oversees the distillery. To open a combined full service restaurant with a micro-distillery, Bourgeois and Caffrey had to seek approval through House Bill 233, which passed in the summer of 2015, paving the way for future restaurant-distillery concepts in Louisiana."

"This stylish yet rustic micro-distillery produces small-batch, handcrafted vodka made from Louisiana sugar cane. The smooth and clean spirit has the soft finish of a cane vodka. Also available is a molasses- and raw-sugar-based rum that is batch fermented and distilled, and gin steeped with botanicals like juniper, coriander, angelica root and citrus peel."

"Tea-brined, buttermilk battered Cornish hen is served with Creole slaw and fries. Reservations accepted. Lunch and dinner daily, brunch Sat.-Sun."

"The Bearcat Cafe in Uptown lets you decide by indicating healthy or less healthy items on the menu. This modern sit-down cafe offers an array of fresh breakfast and lunch options. There are also selections of coffees from Equator Coffee Co, a wide variety of loose-leaf teas, and house-made bottled beverages."
