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! Show less

We ordered hot chocolate and the barista was watching anime while steaming the milk, and the hot chocolate ended up being lukewarm. I asked him to warm it up more and he showed so much unnecessary attitude for no reason. He ended up making it scolding hot. Also why the hell is a coffee $7.50 for a medium?? It was honestly so mediocre and the guy didn’t even stir it properly so all the condensed milk was sitting at the bottom. The coffee itself did not taste special or different at all. This whole experience was bizarre. I genuinely hate starbucks and these guys managed to be even worse. Not only was the coffee super mid, it was ridiculously expensive too, AND the cherry on top was rude service. 2/10 overall, points only cause of the creative title and theme of the place. Show less

The Rook Cafe is nearby to my home, and it's a great place to chill with an interesting coffee menu. My favorite drink of theirs is the Holy Grail, but today I tried their lavender beverage (the name escapes me), which was pretty good if a little too much lavender. They have board games you can borrow, as well as a fair amount of local art work. The bathroom is quite interesting. It is provided with chalk for you to write messages, in addition to a free condom dispenser. One of the baristas, Christopher Jones, was playing the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, so you know if he's there the service will be friendly and the music legit. There's a lot to like about this unassuming but brilliant cafe! Show less

What a cool spot. Quirky, artsy and cozy. Feels like a gamer Sci fi living room. Unique Java speciality drinks with equally unique bites. I appreciated the chalked up bathroom, local art on walls and games in book shelves. Had a delicious bite and crafted drink.

The walls are filled with original art pieces that you can enjoy for free or buy and take home. There are books and board games. You can play games with friends and loved ones and drink coffee - an excellent way to pass an afternoon or evening. The cool chairs and varied seating options are so comfortable and lovely. Perfect for curling up in to read a book with a coffee in hand! The staff is unfailingly courteous and fun. This is, literally, one of my very favorite spots on planet Earth! Show less

Since moving to New Orleans, I’ve been a regular at Rook Cafe, and it’s quickly become my go-to spot for studying, catching up with friends, or just enjoying a quiet coffee break looking at local artwork and feeling inspired. Tucked slightly further from the university than Mojos, it takes a bit longer for students to find, which makes the atmosphere peaceful, relaxed, and perfect for focusing. The cafe offers fun and creative drinks, from unique coffee blends to inventive staff beverages, making each visit feel special. The friendly, art-saturated, and queer-friendly environment adds to the charm, creating a welcoming space for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a quiet study nook in New Orleans, a chill spot to meet friends, or a place to try innovative drinks, Rook Cafe is a must-visit. If you’re searching for best cafes in New Orleans for studying or creative coffee spots in NOLA, this hidden gem is worth the extra steps to find. Show less

Atmosphere is awesome, barista answered my questions patiently, but my chai was very watery with an odd aftertaste. Not my favorite drink. But love the energy, will try a different drink later.

This place is adorable! There is great art, lots of space for working, good music playing in the background (but not too loud), and the staff was especially awesome. I didn't know what I wanted to order because so many things on the menu looked good, but Maddy helped me decide and I ended up with a ... Read more

I didn't know what I wanted to order because so many things on the menu looked good, but Maddy helped me decide and I ended up with a really delicious latte! This spot is located next door to where I'm working while I'm in town and I hope to be able to come back during my visit. Show less

If you love board games and really laid back vibes, this seems to be the place. I was looking to kill time before a flight home after a conference and stumbled upon this hole in the wall. Everyone was instantly friendly and you can roll a D20 to select your drink if you can't make up your mind. Cha... Read more

If you love board games and really laid back vibes, this seems to be the place. I was looking to kill time before a flight home after a conference and stumbled upon this hole in the wall. Everyone was instantly friendly and you can roll a D20 to select your drink if you can't make up your mind. Chai latte was amazing (spices ground in house) and they had an impressive tea list (if you're into tea, you know). Very fun spot, and it appeared like a lot of students were doing work so it appears to be a good spot to do work as well Show less

Cool place if you’re looking for somewhere to hang out, play board games, or make new friends. Wouldn’t suggest the lattes. They had lots of cool flavors but mine was pretty gritty. Like I was sipping on a drink mixed with a little bit of sand.

Staff was friendly and cruffin was yummy. Has fun nerdy and pop culture names for their drinks. I greatly enjoyed The Child, a honey rose matcha latte. The art on the walls for sale is such a fun idea and they do get some pretty impressive art by local artists.

The atmosphere is very cozy and the drinks are great. I got the Jupiter Sunrise drink and a ginger snap. I have been hwre before and so far the drinks and service has been fantastic! There is even a variety of board games to play, and art on the walls that's available for purchase.

Cute spot! Coffee is good. Snacks are nice of you want something quick. The counter person was a little snappy when I asked if they serve food other than the baked goods. Whatever...it was early 🤷‍♀️

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 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.
