Sacred Grinds Coffee House — Restaurant in New Orleans

"Sacred" grinds, not so sacred people. This seems to be a coffee shop that knows it can always make money off of cemetery and ghost tours, and therefore does not care about how they treat people. Long story below, but to summarize: the customer service is terrible and the food/drinks are not worth it.

I live in the neighborhood and have visited a few times. The baristas have been generally stand-offish, but I recently had a terrible experience. I visited with 2 friends in February 2022. All of us ordered a drink and food. The drinks were fine. However, we also ordered quiche that they had displayed in the window, and this became a whole problem. The barista took a long time to give us the quiche, and then when she did, it was thrown in a bag, ice cold, and still wrapped in seram wrap. When I asked if it could be heated up, the barista gestured to the microwave in the corner and did not say a single word to me. I then had to ask her for a plate, and she rolled her eyes at me. Perhaps I could be marginally forgiving if she was busy, but there was literally no one else in the store. Then, when I used the microwave, it short-circuited immediately. Note: it was plugged into an old extension outlet, which is not safe. I asked what to do, and she rolled her eyes again, unplugged the microwave, and plugged it back in. This happened two more times before I gave up and left with my cold quiche and feeling completely disrespected. When I got home, I heated up the quiche, and it wasn't even good. Overall, a really terrible experience. I'd recommend any other coffee shop in the area...

Can't remember last time I had gotten an ice latte from a coffee store. I typically don't believe in spending that kind of money on coffee, okay I'm cheap.

But I have to say I was having a craving for one, and stop by sacred grinds coffee house on a whim because I was passing by it. Very glad that I did, it was a very smooth iced coffee. Still overpriced like all coffee shops 🤣 (okay that's just my opinion guys) but in this case it was worth it because it hit the spot and was very tasty.

Very limited seating both inside and outside for those who've never been to this coffee place. Although it has its own entrance doorway it's adjacent with an interior connecting door to the herbal company on canal Street. Cool vibes but not a place to go to with a big crew of people unless you're taking everything to go because there simply isn't a...

I have been a pretty frequent customer here over the last couple of years and I’ve got a feel for this business,#1 customer service needs work,also had a terrible encounter with a man,dark hair,Piercings,dressed in business attire while the lady was working,the one with the colorful tattoos,he says to me as I’m walking out “your just gonna use the bathroom and not buy anything” the rudest way possible not realizing that I’m a frequent customer and was just low on funds that day,I would take the bus to work at that time and it just so happen to be out front of the store..I looked at the lady hoping she would stand up for me,knowing she must recognize me as a frequent customer but she just looked at the floor when I looked for her to stand up for me...I was shocked that I was treated...
