French Truck Coffee

I've never had a better muffin in my life! French truck coffee has an adorable ambiance and extremely friendly workers, but the muffins are where it's at.

They have a babka muffin (which I had to google, it's supposed to be a chocolate and vanilla swirl but I couldn't tell the difference between the flavors) and a blueberry muffin. They are both extremely light and slightly sweet without being too sweet.

Their coffees are good as well, and service was always fast. I ended up coming here for breakfast 3 days in a row, and each day they had plenty of seating available for people to sit and work.

Local coffee chain.

Came here with two coffee "connoisseurs" as they would prefer to be called but to me, they are totally just "bean snobs," hahaa. They weren't a fan of the coffee -- stated it was bitter and watered down and compared it to Starbucks. Since I gave up coffee for 100 days, I opted for the tea with a lemonade base. It was SO GOOD. So glad I got the largest size too!

Clean bathrooms. Helpful staff members. Lots of seating options in the back and even out front too.

I tried the chai latte and it was good, great spot to work remotely with friendly staff

French Truck Coffee is a delightful gem discovered during our road trip, and its allure extends far beyond its exceptional brews. The interior of this charming coffee shop is an aesthetic masterpiece, radiating a captivating charm that instantly enamored us. The ambiance seamlessly balances a contemporary flair with cozy warmth, creating an inviting space to savor the coffee experience. The patio, an additional boon, proved to be an idyllic setting to enjoy our beverages amid a pleasant atmosphere. The ice latte, a testament to their commitment to quality, was nothing short of stellar--its smooth, rich flavors providing the perfect refreshment for our journey. French Truck Coffee effortlessly marries aesthetics and taste, making it a must-stop for anyone seeking a picturesque coffee haven with equally exceptional offerings.

I came during Mardi Gras and had the best experience here. I love coffee, especially on the sweeter side. The person working the counter, gave me great suggestions, and a free sticker. I had the "NOLA" but added in vanilla at her suggestion, and it was so good. I love the vibes here if I lived here, I could definitely see myself on my laptop next to the bay window. I also tried the cinnamon king cake, and the ham and cheese croissant. Both are to die for! Non dairy options available, they use Califa Oat milk, my fav!

Hands-down, my favorite coffee in New Orleans and I love that they have expanded to several locations throughout the city. This location in particular was extremely close to our Airbnb where we were staying for Thanksgiving, so my husband and I would walk over pretty much every morning to get our caffeine fix. The service was always fast and friendly and I look forward to coming back to French truck the next time I'm in town.

Loved this place! They had a nice selection of coffee to choose from and more bakery items than I was expecting. My friend and I came here at about 8:30am and it was still quiet and slow. We stayed for about 2 hours and the crowd picked up pretty quickly.

It's not a very big place but big enough for a few places to sit and study if you really need to. They are pet friendly, which was a pleasant surprise! I love what they have to offer and will hopefully get to come back soon.

After getting over the initial shock that this was neither a truck nor French, I settled in for a nice cup of coffee. Well maybe I could see the French part, and technically there is indeed a truck at the Chartres Street location, so there you go.

But back to the reason I came: the coffee. Today I rolled out with a caffe au lait, and while I waited I gazed at the elaborate all-day drip mechanisms creating brews that are probably smooth-as-silk.

It was a smooth process from order to finish for me this day, and there were plenty of window tables to tarry while gazing and sipping.

You can't miss the building if you're headed here: just look for the yellowist yellow of all yellows and come on in. They pride on building relationships toward sustainable blends, so feel good while you drink and read their Transparency Report.

I'll be back, or hit one of the other locations next time around.

I visited this spot several years ago and knew I wanted to go back the next time I was in New Orleans. So, I stopped in yesterday for an espresso and a pour over (Pacamara varietal, don't remember the origin). The espresso was the best one I've had in a few weeks--bright and fruity without any astringency. The pour over was also great; it had darker fruit notes (plum & bing cherry) and was quite sweet.

There is plenty of seating, both indoors and outside, and the staff is very friendly.

In A Nutshell:

-French Truck Coffee is a local coffee chain with locations around NOLA, Louisiana & Memphis.
-They source from origin bringing you the freshest beans in small batches & roast them for you promptly.
-During hot & muggy days like the current heat dome we're experiencing in the Dirty South, you'll be happy to down a nice cold cup of New Orleans Iced Coffee.
-Not only is the coffee amazing, but the type of ice they use is my favorite crushed ice that pairs perfectly w/ this iced coffee.
-I like the name French Truck Coffee along w/ the bright yellow color they use.
-You can even purchase their coffee at local grocery stores too.

Overall, if you are NOLA, you need to stop by for some great coffee!
