Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Marrero

"This French Quarter restaurant has been around for ages and it’s the gorgeous courtyard and good food that keep people coming back. If you’re after a drink and a good meal in a classic Nola setting, Café Amelie is your jam."

"While the crowds and the line of tourists go to Café Du Monde, the locals know to head to Cafe Beignet for this signature New Orleans sweet. With three locations across the city, it cuts down the wait time significantly for this pastry doughnut hybrid dusted with powdered sugar. The French and Acadians brought beignets to the region in the 18th century, but New Orleans helped to give the powdery delight the recognition that it receives today."

"When in New Orleans, Alton Brown wakes up and strolls over to Cafe Beignet on Royal Street for — you guessed it — the namesake beignets. The chefs here prepare a perfect rendition of New Orleans’ take on a doughnut. The dough is made fresh daily, then allowed a longer-than-standard rise time of three hours, which is the key to its light and airy texture."

"This tropical cafe serves up some pretty strong, sustainable vibes along with a lot of heart and soul. While you can technically order meat here, their menu is largely vegan. Expect lots of tropical dishes with roots in the Caribbean and Latin America, which is a unique spin on traditional vegan restaurants in New Orleans."

"This is also where you can have a famous Café du Monde beignet covered in powdered sugar, have your tarot cards read at Hex, get a taste of voodoo culture at Voodoo Authentica, and shop for jewelry, clothing, and antiques all throughout the neighborhood. The Pharmacy Museum has quite an interesting tour – don’t let the name fool you!. It’s all about old school remedies and how they evolved through history, with a local twist."

"(Don’t worry you’ll be going to Cafe du Monde during your 3 days in New Orleans too!) Stand in line at Cafe Beignet and order your powdered sugary french donut goodness with a coffee. The local choice is always getting a cafe au lait, but we both prefer our coffee black."

"Another Broken Egg Café’s meals are made with New Orleans’ finest ingredients, and the dishes are fun and creative. The restaurant offers American cuisine with modern twists on classic favorites and new creations. The restaurant provides American breakfast, brunch, and burgers."

"This chain has two New Orleans locations, and the menu offers a wide variety of options from omelettes to benedicts. The spot also offers a kids menu and vegetarian dishes. Prices top out at around $12."

"It was awful- the crab meat Benedict was greasy and smelled the eggs floated in grease - I loved the coffee cups More reviews"

"Cherry Espresso Bar was an early destination for specialty coffee in New Orleans, originally opened inside Stein’s Deli in 2013. Owner Lauren Fink, who learned the barista trade in Portland, Oregon, went on to open the Laurel Street shop in 2016. The high quality coffee and espresso drinks are complemented by a changing menu of sweets, bagels, and quiche."

"On the corner of Laurel and Upperline is this cute coffee hotspot. We recommend their trademark beverage the Stella which is a 1:1 ratio (espresso to water) iced americano. Sometimes it’s the only way to start the day."

"Along lovely St. Charles Avenue sits New Orleans Coffee & Beignet Co., a little bakery café that fries up not only traditional beignets, but also chocolate ones. Choose your favorite and pair it with one of the many coffee choices, or go for extreme decadence and enjoy a frozen creme caramel coffee (just pretend there are no calories in it): a sugary, slushy quaff perfect for those hot NOLA summer days."

"The New Orleans Coffee & Beignet Co. keeps it simple yet upholding the popular tradition of café au lait and beignets. It’s got a warm and welcoming vibe and, of course, lots of beignets. If you’re looking to try a New Orleans tradition and don’t want to wait in line at other places, this is the perfect stop to try."

"Palm Court has tucked away on the less-trafficked downriver end of Decatur Street, and as such, serves a more low-key in-the-know crowd than many overrun tourist spots. It’s a mellow sort of space where traditional jazz (especially piano jazz) is generally the focal point and patrons quietly enjoy Creole food and classic cocktails while the band plays.1204 Decatur St. (French Quarter) / (504) 525-0200"

"Located on St. Charles Avenue, this restaurant features po-boys, burgers, seafood, and some cajun bites like alligator poppers and boudin balls. Situated right on the St. Charles streetcar line, it’s easy to hop off and grab your meal before hopping back on the streetcar on your way to Audubon Park."

"A Big Ch-Easy burger is topped with cheddar, pepper Jack or Swiss cheese, lettuce and tomato and served with garlic-herb fries."

"The Roosevelt New Orleans, 130 Roosevelt Way, (504) 648-5486; www.therooseveltneworleans.com. A Rossini burger includes a Snake River wagyu beef patty, onion jam, seared fois gras and black truffle mayonnaise. Reservations accepted."

"Lakeview's diner institution, unlike a lot of greasy spoons on this list, seems mainly more catered to families and sober people. But don't let that fool you, the breakfast options are astounding from fried chicken and waffles to a slew of egg specialties. Try the Egg Saints #33 with a grilled biscuit, alligator sausage, grilled tomatoes, poached eggs, and homemade country gravy, and save room for the housemade pies."

"A post shared by ~Sara's Photography~ (@saraphotography_05) on Dec 31, 2018 at 9:00am PST. Russell’s Marina Grill opened its doors in 1985 and has been a favourite of locals ever since. Kids will love that this eatery is on the waterfront."

"8555 Pontchartrain Blvd., (504) 282-9980; www.russellsmarinagrill.net. Lemon Dijon-glazed grilled salmon is served atop red quinoa with brown rice, edamame and mixed vegetables."

"3325 St. Claude Ave., (504) 459-4571; www.pollysbywatercafe.com. Corned beef hash is topped with two eggs and served with a biscuit."

"Place St. Charles, 201 St. Charles Ave., (504) 522-8198; www.stevesdiner.net. Club salad includes chicken tenders, avocado, tomatoes, egg, bacon, pepper Jack cheese and honey-bacon Dijon dressing."

"Head brewer and co-owner Alex Peyroux’s comes from a long time Cajun-French family, and his fiancee and Miel co-owner Janice Montoya descends from Spanish colonies, so the name is both a nod to that cultural blending — as well as the fact that Alex’s beekeeping parents keep them loaded up with Louisiana honey. New Orleans’ 10th brewery will use honey as a fermentation sugar as well as the featured ingredient for several beers in the future."

"Founded with a mission not only to craft some of the finest brews in the region but also celebrate the people of the city they serve; Second Line is a can’t miss spot. Grab a seat in their outdoor beer garden and sip on some of their most delicious selections from their blonde ale, West-coast style IPAs to their popular, “Saison Named Desire” brewed with Moro blood orange. Located in Mid-City, Second Line is focused on creating a 100% sustainable and environmentally useful product by working with local farmers to convert their spent grain into nutrient-rich animal feed."

"Second Line’s been growing quietly since opening in 2015, adding more fermentation capacity and diversifying its styles. The imperial rye IPA called Allryte, Allryte, Allryte, released several times a year, is a critical success. The beer garden is a great place for locals to mix it up with beer, food trucks, and movies every Wednesday."

"Second Line Brewing’s name derives from New Orleans’ tradition of second line parades. Over 100 years ago, the parades began as customs for jazz funerals. Today, the parades are held as symbols of joy, fun, and celebration."

"What is a chain brewpub next to a casino doing on this list?. Brewer Nick Anzalone has been expanding the restaurant’s beer selection with his creative recipes including hazy New England IPAs, Brut IPAs, saisons, and a non GBB-standard Bohemian Keller Pils lager. Anzalone has upped the beer cred at GBB-NO and it’s a great place to stop by downtown."

"A post shared by Gordon Biersch New Orleans (@gb_nola) on Nov 26, 2017 at 2:36pm PST. Chain hangout for house-brewed, German-style beer & a pub menu served in a casual setting. Located right across from Harrah’s Casino and within walking distance of the French Quarter."

"Dan Gordon and Dean Biersch’s dream came true when Gordon Biersch Brewing Company opened its doors. The brewery opened in Palo Alto, California, in July 1988. The duo worked together to bridge fresh, handcrafted beer and world class cuisine."
