Backatown Coffee Parlour

It's hard to believe that this was my first visit to Backatown, but alas. It's pretty spacious with lots of tables and room to spread out, but still retains the intimate vibes that we all love coffee shops for. They have a really nice selection of pastries and other food items like sandwiches and salads. I enjoyed the crawfish quiche--the crust was flakey and buttery and there was a nice amount of crawfish baked inside. I love when coffee shops have good playlists and I was vibing with what they had playing. It was a mix of smooth R&B and soul. A friend and I set up shop to do a little co-working and it's a great spot to spend sometime. The weather was perfect and we were able to grab a spot...

So glad to find this wonderful local coffee shop and restaurant at the edge of the French Quarter. Great food, friendly staff, and the best cafe au lait of my visit (apologies, Cafe du Monde)! The owners have created a lovely, welcoming space and a delicious menu of breakfast and lunch options. It was a treat to spend time there each day during my visit. Thank you for the gracious hospitality and terrific coffee!!

I tried the banana but coffee cake, chef's kiss! I also had the macchiato (hot), it was delicious. The staff were friendly and courteous as well. Would definitely recommend this business.

Neat coffee shop with chill atmosphere. Highly recommend the chai latte!The turkey panini was good, pretty standard sandwich. The rose pistachio donut was also tasteful ?

Staff wasn't too friendly. They had a lot of vegan pastries, but the donut I had was dense and dry. May have caught them on a bad day, but was hoping for better.
