Cherry Espresso Bar 4877 Laurel St, New Orleans, LA 70115

This coffee shop is outstanding! From the ambience and the very chill neighborhood setting, to the outside seating area. This may be my new favorite coffee spot in the city. Especially uptown New Orleans! Very friendly staff, outstanding food and prices as well as amazing coffee! I highly recommend this spot for not only tourists but locals as well!

Well done Cherry! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Coffee, Beignets, Wines, Bubbles, and Bites

We are serious about coffee but way more serious about service. A hot beignet is a pillow of goodness, and who doesn’t love their pillow (and who doesn’t love our beignets)? We love a great glass of champagne… or two… or a bottle… but the friends we share it with will always outlast the bubbles. We savor on wine and sour on whining. A bite is really all you need unless you have another three or four, but that’s called dinner.
