Worst dining experience I had in the whole of New Orleans. Excruciatingly humiliating. (Anyone sensitive about their body and trying to eat good choices, stay far far away.)

Worst dining experience I had in the whole of New Orleans. Excruciatingly humiliating. (Anyone sensitive about their body and trying to eat good choices, stay far far away.) You can only order french fries or grits as a side for your egg sandwich. I was not allowed to skip those options. So I was given french fries... for breakfast??? While I had to deal with that I was also given a table number that just said "COW" and had a picture of a cow on the card. Imagine a restaurant creating an environment that makes you feel terrible for eating breakfast. Show less

Kylea is an absolute sweetheart! Her service, hospitality and personality truly made our experience above and beyond. Not to mention the PHENOMENAL coffee she made, 10/10 recommend! Will be back every time I’m in town!

Fun spot! Great coffee, great food, great atmosphere. Not so great for studying or doing some work though! Pretty loud and lots of snobby rich people around! But overall I liked it!

Good coffee and delicious food. Coffee shop is inside a hotel and was ample seating with great decor - it felt very homey. Staff was fantastic. I went here several days while in town and had a great experience each time.

Super cute! Pistachio mocha was quite tasty but a little pricy ( $7, with oat milk)

Nasty coffee that taste like burnt cigarettes with a nasty attitude too. I ordered a macchiato it had no milk, extremely hot and served in a crappy paper cup I could get a Walgreens.

Found this quaint space hidden inside the Virgin Hotel. Both the Hotel and the coffee shop exude a unique identity making for a soulful and joyful cup of joe. Barista made the cortado to my liking. Really nice staff. A bit tough environment for studying or work as it does get loud with the Commons brunch and hotel guests passing through. But makes for an amazing place to meet friends or spend a morning with light reading in a quaint setting. Well worth checking out while in New Orleans. Show less

Really pleasant, cozy cafe in the Virgin Hotel. Excellent coffee, it's a flavorful medium roast, best I've had for a while. Exceptional bacon too. And the "Funny Library" decor is worth seeing. Everyone here was very hospitable.

Quirky and Cozy Coffee Shop, But Room for Improvement in Espresso Quality During my recent stay at Virgin Hotels in New Orleans, I had the opportunity to visit the funny library coffee shop located within the hotel. While the coffee shop itself has a charming and inviting ambiance, I must admit that I was a bit disappointed with the quality of their coffee offerings. The coffee shop is undeniably a cute and pleasant place to work, gather, or engage in conversations. The atmosphere is cozy, and the library theme adds a unique touch that enhances the overall experience. The seating arrangements are comfortable, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. However, I found the coffee to be subpar considering the price. I ordered a "Large" latte, but it was disappointingly small, comparable to a small-sized latte at other coffee chains. The taste of the latte was just okay, lacking the richness and depth that I look for in a good espresso-based drink. I was also taken aback by the high price of $8 for such a small cup of latte. It felt overpriced for the quality and size offered. In addition to the latte, I also tried their chocolate croissant, which was decent but didn't stand out as exceptional. While it satisfied my craving for a sweet treat, it didn't leave a lasting impression. Overall, the funny library coffee shop has potential, but improvements are needed in the quality of their coffee offerings, particularly the espresso-based drinks. The pricing should also be reevaluated to better align with the experience and taste provided. It would be great to see them work on refining their coffee recipes, sourcing higher-quality beans, and enhancing the overall coffee experience for their customers. Despite the coffee's shortcomings, I appreciate the cozy and inviting atmosphere of the coffee shop. It remains a pleasant place to relax, work, or engage in conversations. I hope the management takes customer feedback into consideration and makes the necessary adjustments to elevate their coffee to match the charm of the space itself. Show less
