Sacred Grinds Coffee House

Great place for books and spiritual stuff. Love there statues, coffee is good, good place to meet someone for coffee and pastry, very chill environment always.

Great drinks served from a friendly staff. Peppermint mochas are my favorite, but the iced coffee is a close second

Had a few recommendations for Sacred Grinds while on my pursuit of the perfect chai in the city. The space is small but the theme is enchanting. Both barista were extremely friendly and worked fast. The iced chai with almond milk was delicious.

The attached herbal shop is a delight. I only needed a smudge stick but I cant wait to go back to grab some more goodies.

No frills coffee shop with excellent coffee and snacks. Friendly service.

Great place for some coffee! We made sure to stop in a few times while visiting NOLA last month. The location is great, and if you get the chance, go sit in the back patio area which overlooks a cemetery.

"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 over this place.

Like this place mostly due to the awesome outdoor sitting area in the back right next to one of the Catholic cemeteries.
Easy parking just out on the street, although it’s a busy roadway so be careful.
It is confusing when you enter the coffee shop since they share there space with a retail space. The door to the coffee shop opens to the coffee counter and display case where they have their food/baked goods, but then there is this little ramp that goes down into the smoke shop area that people also gather on. Had some awkward times when people were waiting in each area and didn’t realize another whole line was around the corner.

Baristas here are the bomb! The coffee is stellar and the prices are great! The ham and cheese sandwich with an iced latte is perfect lunch for a steamy NOLA day!

Great position, good coffee. Lady who was working in the tobbaconist area was really friendly and helpful.

Dirty zombie was just what i needed on this hot day. Quirky little coffee shop and the the "tenants" next door are quiet
