Backatown Coffee Parlour

"This is our first time in New Orleans, and on our walk, we discovered this place. The staff are incredible, the place itself is really clean and has a really cool vibe to it. Good and coffee are great too!"

"I adore local Coffeehouses. And to find one with great food is even more so a plus. Backatown is a must visit every single time I'm in New Orleans. My favorite food items to order are the crawfish quiche, chicken salad croissants, and fresh fruit. I usually get one of their tasty pastries and a latte as well. Everything is very reasonably priced. They have a menu that offers lots of items, so I'm pretty sure there's something for everyone. The atmosphere is very inviting. It's clean and spacious. The type of place to go with your computer to get some work done. The only gripe I have is about the parking. Be prepared to drive around until you find an open spot nearby. Other than that, this place is a gem. It is also a Black Owned establishment located just outside the French Quarter. Oh, and just as an FYI, they also offer catering."

"There’s currently (Jan 2024) a ‘coffee shop desert’ in the Quarter, with very few options for a place to get both food and coffee while also getting some office work done. Though just outside the Qtr proper, Backatown is easily the best spot for that trifecta. Large, cozy atmosphere with lots of seating options. Food and coffee is reasonably priced and the staff are always very friendly."

"Amazing! Kind staff, fantastic service, great vibe. We stopped in yesterday before our cemetery tour, and are back today even though it's nowhere near the rest of our plans for the day! Just too good to stay away. Chai latte is perfect, and my mom says the same about the regular latte. Get a cranberry cream cheese scone, you won't regret it!"

"I keep finding new places around me and so happy about coming across this cafe. First of all the rose pistachio donut was all I needed to make my day. It is divine. I definitely want to come back to try their lemon blueberry cake. Outstanding customer customer care and I truly appreciate the artwork. The place is spacious and has great seating if you want to do any work on your computer or just relax with some friends while you have your coffee. This is officially my new favorite coffee spot."
