"This is a nice, eclectic cafe with an extensive menu. It is a quiet space to read, study, play board games, sit and chime with friends. Although I haven't attended one, I do see advertisements for open mic nights. I love the coffee, particularly the Brazil Lua Azul with oat milk. It has a nice, smooth taste. My husband loves the Serenity - Lemonade with Lavender drink. Each time I visit, customer service has always be welcoming."

"Discovered this very adorable coffee shop on our latest trip to NOLA. The drinks are inventive and delicious. The theme is whimsical and fun. Birdie, the barrister, is warm, smart, inviting, and extremely attentive. She made a special drink for my 3yo with sparkling water and “unicorn tears” and my daughter was thrilled. She even overheard my kid saying the cup was too cold and she handed me a cup sleeve without any prompting. I’m so glad we discovered this great coffee shop right near our hotel and the hospital. Definitely worth a visit!"

"Rook Cafe has such a cool vibe and some of the tastiest sounding drink options. I only wish I was in the area longer to try them all. I had the Kuromi with their crown shaped coffee ice cubes, and it was the perfect blend of coffee with a hint of sweetness from the condensed milk. Come check them out!"

"Absolutely love the Rook Cafe! It’s a hidden gem on Freret Street with nothing but good vibes. Service is friendly and excellent. I love the ample syrup choices and the house made beverage concoctions. The art on the walls is all local and all for sale 👀. Love doing my school work at the Rook!"

"Rook Cafe is one of the coziest and most soulful corners of New Orleans. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, soft jazz tunes, and its effortlessly elegant ambiance capture the true spirit of the city. The walls are filled with local artworks, each corner telling its own aesthetic story. Warm, simple, yet full of character — the coffee is crafted with care, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. A place where art, calm, and coffee meet in harmony✨♥️🤟🏻"
