Overview & Highlights

Welcome to Uptown Coffee, a charming café nestled at the corner of Milan and St. Charles in the historic Garden District of New Orleans. If you're seeking a cozy spot to unwind with delightful bites and refreshing beverages, look no further. This café is not just about coffee; it's an experience that resonates with the heart of New Orleans.

Nestled in a vibrant neighborhood, Uptown Coffee offers a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for catching up with friends, indulging in a good book, or simply savoring some well-deserved quiet time. The interior is bright and beautifully curated, exuding a sense of comfort while remaining impeccably clean—something frequently noted by guests who adore the café.

While coffee aficionados will find a variety of specialty brews, the real stars of the menu are the made-to-order beignets. Guests rave about these little pillows of joy. As Kathy D wonderfully puts it, “They are made to order so always fresh and warm,” making them perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own. Pair these beignets with the café's signature frozen café au lait or ice latte for a delightful treat that dances on your palate. The sweetness of the beverages can be personalized, as noted by A. O., who found the frozen coffee a bit on the sweeter side but was pleased to customize it to her taste.

The café's commitment to quality means every dish is crafted with care. From the "bites of beignets" that mimic the beloved Café du Monde's offerings to the refreshing iced options like the ice latte praised by Victoria Heasley, there's something to satisfy every craving. The friendly baristas promptly greet you, eager to help you navigate the menu with their cheerful demeanor, making for an engaging customer experience.

Uptown Coffee’s location among the iconic homes of the Garden District makes it an ideal stop for both locals and tourists. Whether you're taking a leisurely stroll through the picturesque streets or hopping off the trolley at the nearby St. Charles stop, this café offers a refreshing pit stop that keeps you revitalized for your explorations. So next time you find yourself wandering through New Orleans, treat yourself to a visit at Uptown Coffee—a place where deliciousness meets delightful ambiance.

Nice experience. Clean place. The food was fresh and good. Frozen coffee was too sweet and heavy. I had to add some cream to decrease the sweetness.

Not a coffee drinker so can’t comment on that but love this place for beignets. They are made to order so always fresh and warm. The minis are perfect for a little treat to share and service is friendly and welcoming. They also serve other items. Hard to get a food pic that looks appetizing but these beignets are really tasty.

Came in for a quick ice latte. The batista was super friendly. The interior had plenty of seating and they offered mini beignets. If you are a visitor wandering the Garden District, stop by here for a refresh. You won't be let down.

We loved it! We got the bites of beignets and frozen cafe au lait. It was delicious! Definitely compare to cafe de monde. Get off the trolley on st. Charles at Milan stop and walk behind new seafood and hamburger.

Such a cute place in such a nice area! The beignets were amazing, and the service was fantastic. The atmosphere was so calm and cozy; the perfect place to sit down and read a book while you enjoy your coffee. It was so close to all the houses too, which was very convenient for us! Definitely recommend!

Absolutely lovely coffee shop. It is bright, cheerful, and spotless. The employee was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are nice and clean. I love that they have mini-beignets.
