Try-Me Coffee

coffee·$·Bywater

A century-old local roaster in the Bywater, taken over by a local couple in 2023 — old-school roasting craft being kept alive and expanded, with the deep coffee-trade history of New Orleans in every cup. Order the house roast and ask about the history; a century of knowledge sits behind it. Come in the morning. If you buy into the idea that New Orleans is a port city with deep coffee DNA, this is the pilgrimage. It is a living link to the city's coffee past — a historic roaster rescued and carried forward by new owners, where the story in the cup is as rich as the brew itself.
