"Made the drive from the CBD over to the West Bank to check out Port Coffee Company and I got there quicker than my GPS had time to start arguing with me 😅🚗💨 (about an 8 minute drive). It’s tucked inside a plaza with a lake, ducks, palm trees, and that clean Mediterranean-style architecture vibe 🦆🌴🏛️. To actually reach the shop, you’ll circle around the lake and basically hit a little U-turn situation. Parking is a bit tight, so be ready for some parallel parking confidence (or a quick prayer) 😭🅿️. When you walk in, the interior design is gorgeous. Navy tones, warm gold finishes, quality materials, and comfy seating that feels way more “lounge” than “grab and go” ✨🪑. The menu and atmosphere lean Middle Eastern / Mediterranean inspired, with eye catching pastries and drinks (including some of those trendy chocolate style items people love) 🍫🥐. I ordered the mocha frappe and it was smooth, rich, and super consistent. No weird ice chunks, just creamy and flavorful 😮‍💨☕️. Easy 9/10 for me. Service was solid. There were two people working and about 6 to 8 customers dining in while I was there. You can order by kiosk or at the counter, which is a nice touch ✅. Seating wise, it feels like they can handle a crowd, with a mix of high tops, four seat tables, and bench seating. And my favorite part for anyone who works remote: outlets and USB connections along a lot of the wall/window seating 🔌💻. Music was Arabic-language / Middle Eastern style and a little loud. I was on a call and the person I was talking to definitely noticed 😂📞. It didn’t bother me, but if you need library quiet, keep that in mind. Big plus: lots of natural light, Wi-Fi was strong, and they even have table tags to leave a Google review (so yes, they basically handed me the mic) 😄📝. Overall, this is an amazing addition to the West Bank. One of the best new coffee spots in the New Orleans area I’ve tried in 2026 so far 🌟. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the specialty drinks. ☕️ If you found this helpful, drop a like and let me know how your experience compared to mine!"

"The most beautiful well-designed interior in the GNO... period. You have to see it to believe it, this place should win an award for how beautiful it is. The cafe even features a reservable meeting room separate from the main Cafe with windows and a glass door. But...the food and beverages and even the service leaves a lot to be desired for a place of this visual caliber. No one greeted us when we came in, and even when we approach the counter there was no friendliness or recognition. No eye contact was made and it just felt kind of weird and cold and disconnected. The so-called Turkish coffee is thin and weak, and traditional Turkish coffee is served in a small beautiful cup. The hot chocolate I had was also thin and somewhat tasteless, and in place of whipped cream was just thin tasteless foam, but it was also served in a paper cup when everything was ordered to be in house? For such a detailed place it's a puzzle. They sell boxed baklava with five shapes on the counter, but it was soggy and didn't have a rich or high quality taste. I also had the traditional kunafa, and I asked for the crunchy version, but it was soggy and just sort of uninspiring. A final and kind of important gripe is that when you order your food they give you a beeping disc, instead of a vibrating one, and all around you in the tranquil beautiful setting this shrieking beeping sound is going off the whole time! This is a huge mistake, and an oversight in such a beautiful and tranquil environment. Also, the marble tables are adorned with Google review pucks, and this is just kind of cheesy and takes away from the magic of the environment. Somebody's pushing too hard in the wrong places. The place is visually striking, but there's too many employees, and not enough coordination or high quality in the food and drinks which is very important, especially considering they're a little expensive. The devil is in the total details, and something critical things are missing."

"We loved every bit of this experience. Our drinks were really yummy, it was a salted caramel latte and a cortado. We got this lovely pistachio croissant and it was soo good. I would recommend coming here and giving it a try. The staff was very friendly and helped answer our questions. Best coffee shop I’ve been to in a while."

"Every time I drive by Manhattan Blvd, I always pass by Port Coffee Co. So I decided to stop by and check it out during a rainy day. First off, the inside looked so nice and aesthetically pleasing! It definitely gives off a chill yet somewhat fancy vibe which I really like. This would be a good place to study or hang out. The service was nice and quick as well. I got their Iced Port Latte ($8.78 with tax). The drink was good, but it didn’t stand out to me personally. I also wished it was bigger in size because of how pricy it was for one drink. I’d come back, but I’ll probably try one of their other drinks and their desserts. I was eyeing on their Pistachio Latte so maybe I’ll get that next time. Overall, a bit pricy for the sizing and quality, but still a nice place to visit for work, study, or a meet up."

"This place is beautiful! One of the prettiest coffee shops in the area. The staff were gracious and kind, answering all my questions. It is a Yemen coffee shop, we ordered some of the house specialty drinks (Mufawar & Adeni tea) and had lots of questions. Lol the honey drenched cheese bread (honeycomb bread) was so delicious! Before we left we got some strawberry lemon mint refresher. So yum! The perfect tart to sweet! We will be coming back for sure."
