ACP 053: New Orleans Coffee Crawl

2:55

If you want to know what it looks like when a New Orleans resident takes over a cafe space from a big chain that had intense colors and wornout floors, you should look up Pulp And Grind on 644 Camp St in the Warehouse District. Look them up on Yelp, or visit this episodes show notes to finout what-the-fuss is going on with those Bagel Bombs they’re cooking up.

While we were there Becca made me some chai she’s working on, we tried some of their juices….. Woohoo! But… (music stop) I don’t exactly have a recording of that. Because. We accidentally locked our phones and bags in the back room. With the backup keys….. ooops.

 

4:20

Flashforward with me now past all of that and to us leaving, where you get to hear us leaving with those same keys we accidentally locked in the back room! From there we got a ride from one cafe to the next spot.

High Volt Coffee, lifted counter space. We tried 3 different drinks, (1) Bulletproof style coffee with butter and coconut oil, (2) Coke with espresso and vanilla syrup, on ice, (3) semi green banana, almond milk, espresso, cocoa nibs, ice, agave.

 

14:00

District Donuts location - did you hear my excitement about the Maple Sriracha doughnut?

 

15:45

Revelator Coffee, totally got lost on ‘637 Tchoupitoulas’ before running into Brandon Paul Weaver. Very sleek space, minumalist, very limited and specific menu.

Thanks to a special barista from Spitfire Coffee

 

New Orleans is an old city, 1920 larger population than today, 384,000 residents. NOLA being a very traditional sport where things don’t change quick, its richly STEEPED in traditions and character. 

 

Backup and thank Byron, Spitfire Coffee off St Peter for making my list. That part of the city has buildings older than America itself.  

 

20:00 what was that cocktail Brandon?
