CC’s Coffee House

You can get a decent cup of coffee here. If you’re in the area on Magazine St. it’ll do, but it’s nothing that I would search out for.
When I went to CC’s the other day I had my usual Iced Soy Latte that I get from pretty much everywhere I go. It was a decent latte; nothing extremely spectacular but one that will suffice a quick drink on a warm Saturday afternoon.
I drink Community Coffee at home rather than Starbucks because it is local. So I do give them that.

Good local coffee … Price is decent. Cheaper than Starbucks so you get more coffee for your money but if your a coffee snob then you might think different of this coffee … I thought it was rich in flavor … Nice smell … Not as strong as I liked but good … Nice patio outside … Enjoy

I’m not sure what the CC in CC’s Coffee House stands for, but I am sure about their cordial hospitality, consistent service, clean coffee shop, and caffeinated beverages! CC’s is a great alternative to the more well known coffee establishments around the corner. Instead of crowds and pre-​packaged service, you get individualized care and thoughtful customer service at CC’s. I usually go for the chai latte, and sometimes I add vanilla flavoring to it. I should branch out, but I haven’t yet. The shop is spacious, with windows facing Magazine St. (perfect for people watching). They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a plus. They also have free wifi available, if you’re into that. :) While you’re there, make sure you get a CC’s Coffee House Loyalty Card! The card is free of charge, so why not? And, they give you many opportunities to get free drinks… For instance, free drink just for registering the card online, free drink for your birthday, and free drinks for every 40 point’s you accumulate on the card (each dollar you spend = one point!).

I want to like this place so bad, because it’s the closest coffee shop to my house, and the folks who work here are super friendly, and always remember our order. But the product is so lackluster! I can’t speak for every type of drink because I haven’t had them all, but the only way the coffee tastes decent is if drowned in sugary flavoring. Which, even some of the flavor a are questionable. Worst of all though is the chai latte. All it is is hot water and milk! Or so it tastes. C’mon CC’s — please be better so I can enjoy your product! As it were I’m forced to go down to Starbucks, which has awesome product but terrible service. Why can’t we get our coffee right in New Orleans!!!

Don’t bother if there is a line, I ordered a birthday Cake Mochasippi and waited over 15 minutes as I watched other orders of the same type go through before mine. I didn’t say anything at first because all the cold drinks leaving were pumpkin, so I assumed there was a large batch made and they were filling as many orders as possible. When I saw they were making them individually, I asked politely why orders taken after mine where being made and I got a pointed answer of «it is right here». I understood the hot drinks leaving before my cold, blended drink, but I couldn’t understand why the orders got mixed up and no one tried to correct it.
I will continue to pay for Starbucks, at least they can keep there orders in the order they receive them; and if they make this kind of error, they correct it and ensure you leave happy and don’t pay for their mistake.

GLITCHES… YET AGAIN
1. The awards system was down so no point redemption.
2. They forgot I had ordered a breakfast sandwich — so I was forced to cut in line to remind them: uncomfortable.
3. Then it wasn’t heated enough to melt the cheese; so again I had to jump the queue.
4. The soap dispenser in the men’s room was broken — not hygienic (where did staff wash up?)
AND IF YOU AREN’T PART OF THEIR CLIQUE
you are passed over for the one behind you.

Coffee wasn’t bad. Convenient location and free wifi are the reasons I chose to spend the day here. I will say you get free refills on iced coffee while you stay so that’s pretty great. By the way, it’s hella cold so bring a sweater and a shirt that’s not see through.

Since I live a block from this coffee shop, I end up coming here rather than the Starbucks down the street. The staff are friendly and we have grown to know each other over the past few months. Tables and chairs are ways clean and there are plenty of plugs available to use for your laptop, phone or other devices. There are tables with umbrellas outside that overlook busy Magazine Street and the Firehouse which give it a great curbside ambiance. It’s a welcoming place.

Not my favorite CC’s but a good spot to grab a semi-​cheap cup of coffee.

So I’m giving this locale an update and an extra star because while the renovations through me off initially (’cause New Orleanians hate change) I think that it does make for a cleaner shop. I like their new digital display, and the bar stools at the little bar where I sit are comfier than the last stools.
Things I’m not big on is they put a lot more tables in the front, and their just a tad too close for personal work space, though they updated the back area with much better seating and another bar like table for working at.
The extra star is also for the staff. They’re always really nice, as in, they make my drink, they take my dirty plate ’cause I’m too lazy to bring it to them sometimes, and they never kick me out when I’m typing feverishly into the night or pester me to order more food/​drinks.
*Pro-​tips*:
There is no cutlery at the station, but they’re always really good at giving it to me.
They have a community board if you’ve got local flyers, which I always appreciate, though it’s not huge, but I’m okay with that.
…and they brought back some local art. Go CC’s!

Our favorite. We walk past 4 other coffee shops in order to get to Ccs from our house, but we pick it every time. If you like the frozen blended drinks, the turtle mochasippi is the absolute way to go. Their seasonal options are always a treat, and their pumpkin pie flavor is miles better than the Starbucks nonsense.

Only popped in for a chai latte to go so the review will be based solely on my brief walk in and out.
There was no line, the chai latte was less than $ 5, and both the server and the barister were super friendly. The chai latte tasted great too. I realized that they used a chai tea bag in their lattes also. I’ve never seen this before but it was a pleasant surprise as the latte tasted great.
So yeah, not much else to say about it. Made me a good chai latte so I can’t complain!

Came here to study bc there’s lots of tables inside and out, lots of light pouring in, free wifi, lots of outlets and free off street parking (which was full when I got here, but still a nice thought). Ordered a coffee and the lady behind the counter offered me a fresh pot if I didn’t mind waiting a bit. Ordered a ham and Swiss croissant which hit the spot. Pleasant temp inside except when the AC kicks in intermittently, then it’s COLD! Bring a sweater.

My best friend loves to get his coffee at a shop down the street from CC’s. Most Saturdays I go with him, but every time, the place is noisy and the service is without a smile. It just doesn’t feel like a place I want to veg out in. So the other day I called and said let’s try CC’s instead. Besides, it’s closer to my house. We walked in and were helped by a girl named Liz. She had a big smile and a witty personality. I needed some carbs but don’t like English Muffins so she suggested I get a breakfast sandwich on a plain bagel. Deal. The guy making our drinks was Brooks I think. He was nice and professional confirming what we ordered. What surprised me was that after ordering, we sat at the end of the counter, a bar area. We were discussing an old house I’m restoring and didn’t really pay attention to anything else. In a few minutes there was nice woman with a big smile standing there with our drinks. Brandy was her name. She said’ You guys had the iced vanilla latte’s?” and sat our drinks right down. She then brought our sandwiches to us as well. I made a comment, something like «Sweet, full service!» and she said «Well, I want my customers to be happy» and shot us another big ol’ smile then bopped away to the back.
I noticed all three employees seemed to treat the customers like neighbors. This is the type of coffee shop I really like. I came back this morning itching for a breakfast sandwich and saw Liz at the counter, she smiled and said” Iced… latte’? rats I can’t remember the flavor”. I told her «Vanilla» she giggled and said «test me next time and I promise I’ll remember». The music was relaxing and again the service was, well just friendly and inviting.

Turtle mochasippy! …Or whatever it was called that has caramel, hazulnut and coffee. Great space for laptop work (outlets everywhere) and sitting around to people watch. Yes, I’m creepy.

I often stop at this CCs location when I’m out and about shopping and need a cool drink or a stop to sit. For the location, there is a lot of room. unless a huge group of women are having a baby shower. Seriously, who hosts a baby shower at a coffee shop… without warning the employees. Bizarre.
There are usually lots of folks using this as an office and/​or study hall, but I’ve never actually been shushed here so maybe the less high strung work here.
Last time I was in, I had some lemonade concoction. I should have read the description better. I thought I was getting frozen lemonade, but instead it was a lemon smoothie… or something. Lemons & milk, ick. But that might just be me. Next time I’m sticking with iced tea.
Bonus: I have accidentally stalked our new CM Morgan here. So that’s fun.

We walked here from our apartment to get coffee in the morning. Community Coffee is the Starbucks of New Orleans. The big difference is its local and there isn’t one on every street corner/​hotel lobby/​gas station like Starbucks. But, if you want to get a Café Au Lait and a muffin and sit on a couch somewhere and use your laptop for three hours, this is the place. If you are fan of chicory coffee, you can get that here. Strangely, I don’t believe the Starbucks in New Orleans offer it, which seems like a missed opportunity. The staff were always friendly and the coffee was tasty.

Good Lord. Parking in this area on a Saturday is a beast!
Pretty cool little place. The large ice coffee is really large. I like that they have a «bar» area where you can sit and hang out. The only real con about this place is it’s SUPER busy and the line is pretty long when you are waiting to get coffee. They do have a lot of beverage and pastry choices, so that makes up for it.

I’m a fan. CC’s got all the right elements of a good coffee house in my opinion. Lots of seating and space, a variety of pastries, free wifi, and long hours. The noise levels are pretty reasonable. Locals will chit chat but it’s not crazy noisy and distracting. The dark roast coffee is pretty decent, and this is coming from a coffee snob.
I wouldn’t call this a fancy or cozy place by any means. It’s just a friendly and straightforward local coffee shop.

CC’s is a most respectable local chain of coffee shops in New Orleans. This location has some extremely nice employees (actually just about every CC’s Coffee House has top notch customer service) and if you dislike the corporate coffeehouse vibe inside (not too terribly sterile, however), you can sit outside in the courtyard (plenty of shady spots available, and even some overhead fans).
Community Coffee is a local roaster so even though this is a chain, you’re supporting a local business… hooray for that!
Oh and I’m extremely grateful for all those available outlets (inside) and free wifi.
