CC’s Community Coffee House

Small coffee shop that is easily missed on Decatur street. Despite its size, the coffee is fresh and they always make drinks the way you ask for them. The place is a bit run-​down and could use some help with cleanliness — but that’s as much the customers spilling drinks and walking away as it is trying to keep the place clean and running with a small staff (at most I’ve seen two people working here). It is reliable and I would recommend it.

I orederd an ice coffee and it was a solid ice coffee. Would have liked to have tried their drip, but it was 90 degrees outside so I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Barista was extremely rude. Wish I had gotten her name. I asked for a dirty chai tea with skim milk. She proceeded to make the chai tea without the dirty. When I told her she might have been doing it wrong she told me «this is how we do it here. we use real tea» completely oblivious to the fact that she wasn’t using any espresso. My tea sucked I usually don’t throw things away and be wasteful but I couldn’t even drink it. will definitely avoid this location as you should too.

I thought the coffee was awe full. They serve it all over town and it was worse in their own coffee house. Blech. Tried a cappuccino and a plain coffee. Both bad. Cute enough shop with nice staff.

Small, friendly coffee shop. Sweetie’s favorite coffee in New Orleans, and perhaps the country. My favorite hot chocolate in town. This place was handy on our walks around the French Quarter, and served as the meeting point for our cemetery tour. I have a feeling we’ll be back…

Small, friendly coffee house. Has a few (3 – 4) small tables. Nice and cool. No public restrooms, I don’t think.

Good coffee! Not so friendly service!

This is the CC’s closest to my work so I stop in here quite a bit for my daily caffeine fix. Friendly employees who don’t seem like they are ready to kill anyone despite dealing with the hordes of tourists who frequent the shop are a plus. Free refills on iced coffee and tea are what keep me coming back.
Also: no wi-​fi at this location.

The coffee was mediocre but did the trick. however, the barista was coughing the entire time he made my drink. Yuck!

Hot decent coffee, I prefer cave du mond but this is half the distance from my hotel :) so when hungover, this will do just fine

Better than Starbucks!

I always enjoy coming into this location. The baristas are extra-​awesome here because there is usually only ONE person working there, and they have to do a lot of multi-​tasking, and it’s impressive to see how great they are at it, and still manage to be pleasant.
Iced coffee is always a winner for me, and I think CC’s is the best.
The lines are usually never long. Most of the time, you can order right when you walk in.
There is no restroom in the store. This would be the only «problem» with this location, but with that said, I think this is one of the better locations. It seems like not that many people know it exists! Spread the word.

5 stars most of the time no stars some of the time, deepending on whos working. the employee who works most of the time is pleasant and effictive the other one is an extreem Bit…

Oh, how I’ve missed you CC’s. I often reminisce on the numerous times I’ve walked to CC’s on Magazine to get a Mochasippi with an extra shot. Ahhh… memories.
So I couldn’t help but hit up the nearest CC’s last Monday. And the memories hold true,…the Mochasippi is just as great as I remember it!
And I’d like to mention the young lady working this location (smallest CC’s I’ve ever been in) was very friendly and very busy. She was helping customers and checking in multiple deliveries in the short period of time we were there.
Before leaving town, stopped at Rouses and loaded up on whole bean CC’s and Abita for the voyage home.

The barista was sort of a jerk and barely looked at us. But I’m usually into the lack of customer service in places-it’s just my thing. The coffee was just lame and seemed like they were trying to copy starbucks — why would you ever want to copy starbucks?

This shop is connected to the hotel, but you can also walk in from the street. Excellent location near the riverfront/​riverwalk.
Spectacular almond hot chocolate. Great staff! Can’t be beat.

Just noticed that this review is for the one on Decatur when I meant it for the one on Royal! Although the quality of the product holds true, and my experience at the Decatur location was just as good as the one on Royal, I can’t say that this place gets the same line out the door on Sunday!
Therefore, the review stays, I’ll add one for the Royal location and hey, maybe check this place out if you’re nearby and in more of a hurry! It’s definitely in a part of town that’s on the way to other things (ie, the CBD, Canal St., the St. Charles Trolley, etc), from the Quarter, so it’s convenient to stop in for a cup on the way to a day full of touristic exploration (and I prefer it to PJs on Canal). If I were staying on Canal, this would be my go-​to place for sure.

I stopped in here to wait for a van tour of the Hurricane Katrina area while I was visiting for Essence Music Festival earlier this year. Customer service was good and server was friendly. I think they also have WiFi.

The coffee is wonderful the pastries are wonderful and the service was the best

Fantastic Coffee — try the Louisiana blend it’s smooth and strong. The barrista/​cashier is a coffee aficionado and very knowledgeable of all things coffee. I was there for a cup of jo and came out a fan of Community Coffee.
