Friendly staff, tasty coffee and a lovely view. I'll definitely be making it a point to come back next time I'm in NOLA. I stayed on the back patio for over an hour just enjoying the atmosphere and my coffee

What a great little spot to grab a coffee before strolling through the City of the Dead! Immaculate vibes and fantastic, friendly service. Definitely add this to your morning plans! I recommend the house made chai!

On my day off a few weeks ago I wanted to try a new local coffee shop. When i did my google search I was first intrigued by their quirky zombie themed shop (totally my vibe) and then saw all the raving reviews. I went and got a moon chai latte with a lemon-strawberry poppyseed loaf. I loved both and can say with confidence i have officially found THE BEST chai in the city! I have never been to another coffee shop since. The baristas are kind, competent, and willing to answer any questions you have and they can customized any menu option to your taste. I highly recommend!

Very cool coffee shop that serves up delicious coffee. We tried the Iced Latte and Iced Mocha Latte...both were very good. They offer dairy and non-dairy milks...and will adjust the amount of flavor syrup for those of us that don’t like our coffee sweet!!!

Everything about Sacred Grinds is on-theme, and the drinks are delicious, too! This is a small coffee shop with the most rad decor. Seating is outside (front and back). There is an attached herb store that's fun to shop post-coffee along with plenty of cemeteries to visit! The iced coffee is amazing and has rich chocolate undertones. The teas are flavorful also. Pick up a punch card because you'll want to come back. Covid precautions as of October 2021: Masks required, baristas wear their masks properly, and safety dividers at the counter.

Absolutely a must go place before you go to the cemetery near or even if you're just having a wander. Person who serves ed my friend and I was utterly fantastic, It was cool to meet a fellow brit. They were really nice. The coffee was amazing. My friend and I got 4 drinks total. Two each of the same drinks but we swapped the second time we got them. Just utterly amazing service, person who serves us and the actual coffee is insanely good!!

Backyard is really cool. Only a few tables in the back but it has a view of the cemetery...and some interesting statues too lol. There are bathrooms inside and outside in the back. Interesting variety of pastries, snacks and teas, classic cafe offerings. Friendly, homey cafe, definitely recommend
