French Truck Coffee — Restaurant in New Orleans

I've been many times and had varying experiences. Most workers are unfriendly. Pastries are mediocre but the warm food is pretty good. The nola iced coffee is good but way better with vanilla (which they upcharge for). Iced teas are good as well. My main complaint is the hostility towards people looking to do work there. They have a big space but their basket presentation of food doesn't indicate the vibe of a sit down restaurant, much more like a coffee shop with light food (which is what it is) yet they have blocked every outlet available.

Read plenty of great reviews about the style and atmosphere of this place; little details on the actual coffee. Asked what region their drip blends were and response was “I don’t even know”.

Still, went with the “medium” blend which tasted decent. Flavor was a bit chocolatey and somewhat bland. Hard to identify any specifics of the blend due to a general lack of robustness. Not a bad cup of coffee but not memorable either.

Experience: Not a coffee expert but with a bit more experience than your average coffee customer, wouldn’t recommend this place for the drip (reviewers seem to adore the more complex beverages however). Though, if you’re just looking for a relaxing unassuming place to study or work, I would give this place 5 stars strictly for its lovely outdoor area, comfy seating, and...
