"I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming coffee shop, and I must say, the coffee here is truly great. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. Although I was looking forward to trying their espresso, unfortunately, their machine was down during my visit. However, the regular coffee I had was still delicious and satisfying. What really stood out to me, though, was the atmosphere - it's awesome. The decor and ambiance are perfectly balanced, creating a cozy and inviting space that's perfect for relaxing with a cup of coffee. Despite not being able to try the espresso, I would definitely come back to this coffee shop in the future, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and a pleasant experience. The friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for coffee lovers."

"Almost walked right past this place but so glad we didn’t. The place smells like coffee heaven , has an incredible selection of flavors, and the literal nicest man working there. The shop is so awesomely decorated with cool pirate decor and merch and make sure you check out the Captain’s Quarters. This one of the best coffees we had in the city. Highly recommend."

"If Jean Lafitte opened a coffee shop and let you crash in his bedroom, this would be it. Tucked into a quiet pedestrian alley off Conti Street, Pirate King Coffee is a caffeine-fueled fever dream of pirate memorabilia, buttery espresso, and civic charm. You walk in expecting kitsch and walk out with a bag of beans and a new favorite flat white. Drink this: Brown sugar cinnamon flat white or the Cortado with butter pecan—both taste like New Orleans gave you a hug and a high-five. Chicory Café au Lait if you want to go full Louisiana. Buy this: Their house-roasted beans (especially the chicory blend) are worth hauling home. Veteran-owned, so your purchase supports more than just your morning buzz. Touch this: Pirate hats, skulls, treasure chests, and trinkets galore. The merch wall is half souvenir shop, half pirate cosplay starter kit. Peek at this: The Captain’s Quarters in the back, a bedroom setup that’s part museum, part mood board for your next Airbnb. No, you can’t sleep there. Yes, you’ll want to. Staff are warm, witty, and happy to explain the difference between a Scallywag and a Shaken Cappuccino. Sit inside or grab a table in the breezy alley and pretend you’re plotting your next voyage, or your next fast food concept. Arrr-right, this one’s a gem. Go."

"Absolutely fun and gorgeous! If you're into pirate history, lore, and decour this cafe is the place to be. Unlike a few other pirate offerings in NOLA this location not only has custom patches, shirts, and other themed items, but actual artifacts and hand carved pieces to observe and enjoy. From the consumer aspect, the coffee shop inside was a fantastic alternative to Starbucks, with home ground blends served with different pastries. We had a great conversation with Sam, who ran everything by herself that day in an endless stream of walk-ins while maintaining complete politeness and even giving helpful tips while making 3 different coffee/teas/and lemonades at once. 10/10 would escape Bourbon St and hide in this store anytime!"

"This was the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life. It was called the Scalliwag. The owner was super cool and so friendly and gave us a history lesson of the place. The atmosphere was fun. Loved it. 🩷⭐️✨"
