"The noise level should land somewhere between monastical library and busy restaurant. There needs to be food, and it should be well-executed. The coffee itself should be solid, but I need some reasonable un-caffeinated options, too. I'm usually on the run, so easy parking matters. Be smart: These are businesses, so if you plan to hang around for long, make sure your order justifies use of the table and tip more generously than usual."
"Dig in: Here are my favorite coffee shops for remote working: 🐊 Congregation Coffee's original location in Algiers Point is walkable for me, so I'm biased. But the new shop Uptown looks beautiful, too. I love it because the coffee is excellent, the neighborhood gossip is on point and the pastries come from the Ralph Brennan Bakery. 🇫🇷 French Truck has several locations around the city, but I'm partial to those on lower Magazine Street and Dryades Street."
Preferred coffee-shop attributes include a noise level between a monastical library and a busy restaurant, well-executed food, solid coffee with reasonable caffeine-free options, and easy parking for on-the-run visits. Customers should support businesses by ordering enough to justify table use and tip more generously when lingering. When venues are busy, asking another laptop user to share a table can be appropriate. Recommended local spots include Congregation Coffee (Algiers Point and Uptown) for excellent coffee and Ralph Brennan Bakery pastries; French Truck (Magazine and Dryades) for great coffee and outdoor seating; Le Café Éblouir in Belle Chasse for sweets and hand pies; Pontilly Coffee in Gentilly; and The Station in Mid-City.
