The Orange Couch Coffee shop is on the corner of Royal and Mandeville, just down river from the French Quqrter in the Marigny neghborhood. This is the newest espresso joint in a neighborhood that is becoming a hub of coffee in the city.

The decor at the Orange Couch is comfortable clean and simple. The thorough baristas serve up coffee and tea drinks and a few pastries. The espresso is good. They have wi-fi. I like to go there

Kahve Coffee Shop

July 12, 2008 in Coffee Houses | 2 comments

In the Marigny Triangle, just around the corner from the hip Frenchman Street club scene, you’ll find Kahve. Kahve is a low-key, friendly cafe with a real New Orleans feel.

Kahve is on the corner of Royal and Touro. They have a Victoria Arduino ‘Venus’ espresso machine that is quite the hammered-brass eye-catcher. There are a dozen or so tables in two rooms, in a miniscule courtyard, and on the sidewalk. No wi-fi, no a.c., a few pastries. You gotta want the coffee.

We stopped in before an early show at Snug Harbor. We were so close to the clubs and bustle but it felt like we were in a neighborhood spot.

They* say that kahve is what the Turks called it before it came to Europe.
