This cafe is across from a small park where there are some kids sports activities happening. It has a great vibe and a mix of people working, having coffee, and also eating. You need to order first at the end of the counter and wait for your name to be called. It is a great mix of old, young, middle-aged, and kids. The coffee was tasty and well served. I didn’t eat here, but the food on the other tables looked great. You can feel comfortable working here at any time including lunchtime, there is no pressure to leave if you are not eating. You can spend as much time as you want working here.

Great place, it is going on my list of go-to places in New Olreans.

This café is in an old bank building that is very cool looking, cement and extremely high ceilings. My first time here was on a Saturday afternoon and it was great. I didn’t find a big table right away, but just took one of the smaller tables and soon enough someone left. There are a lot of people working and several also hanging out and talking.

There is an upstairs but at least that day the AC didn’t work upstairs so it was a little hot for me, but there were people up there. I assume for the majority of the year this is not an issue at all. The music was a nice volume and mostly jazz and non intrusive. The people working were nice and relaxed, good barista types. Over all this is a perfect place to work and worth the trip out here. This are is also very cool with a lot of little shops and such so you can walk around as well.

All in all great spot.
