Your Coffee Order = Your Perfect New Orleans Adventure

You're here for the thrill of feeling "oh so New Orleans," and honey, we get it! This isn't your first sip of caffeine… It’s probably one of many shots you'll knock back today. Let's be honest, you're here to be someone's "one time in New Orleans" story, and you're definitely seeking those iconic French Quarter watering holes and New Orleans experiences that make for the best vacation stories. Someone might even question how you ended up at that wedding reception, but hey—laissez les bons temps rouler!

You know how some people live to eat and others eat to live? You're somewhere beautifully in the middle. Cold brew is a treat, but she's not for everyone. You're cool, calm, and collected—appearing at ease, not worried about taking your time, even if you're riding an internal caffeine rollercoaster. You've got energy, but you're here for the vibe. That's why you belong at Bacchanal Wine, one of New Orleans' best-kept secrets tucked away in the Bywater neighborhood like a local gem. Picture this: sipping wine in their backyard garden, listening to live music under the stars. It's a perfect New Orleans experience and a must-do activity, day or night.

Is this a tourist thing? Absolutely not! We adore a café au lait, but chances are you've got this in your hand because you want to not only see the culture around you—you want to taste something as ingrained in New Orleans culture as gumbo, beignets, and red beans. And there's nothing wrong with that, baby! We love these things more than you do. Speaking of soaking up authentic New Orleans culture, you'll definitely be sipping this on a walking tour through historic neighborhoods like Treme, the Bywater, and the Marigny, taking in all those colorful Creole cottages and stunning New Orleans architecture. This is one of the top things to do in New Orleans for culture lovers. (We're guilty of doing the exact same thing!)

Simple, straightforward, no nonsense. You appreciate good things without the fuss, which means you're probably the type who finds magic in the everyday. You'd love grabbing your Americano and finding the perfect people-watching spot in historic Jackson Square, the heart of the French Quarter. Set up on a bench under the ancient oak trees and watch street performers, artists, and visitors from around the world create their own New Orleans stories. Sometimes the best New Orleans experience is just being still long enough to let the city's rhythm wash over you.

You didn't make it to Italy this round, but honestly? We're an eclectic bunch over here, and for many, New Orleans is the Europe of America. *Gestures broadly at our architecture.* Your sophisticated little Italian treat is a classic, and in what we can only assume is your crispest all-black (okay, maybe black and white) outfit, you'll want to hit up our museum spaces before browsing the local galleries along Royal Street, Magazine Street, and Julia Street. Perfect for curating that new apartment back home.

Matcha sparks opinions, but we won't be those people. We love a good matcha latte—tried some delicious seasonal ones just the other day. Matcha people are a spectrum, though. Put ten matcha lovers in a room and you'll probably find ten completely different personalities and interests. This makes you delightfully hard to read. We're thinking you'd love starting your day with morning yoga—maybe a class or self-led session in Washington Square Park. Then find yourself nestled in the Marigny neighborhood where an easy post-brunch awaits. We're huge fans of Ayu Bakehouse right next to the park—their pastries are basically edible poetry.
