- Justin SullivanJuly 3, 2015Just delicious coffee by and for people who love coffee. None of the pages of flavored sugar and fat on the menu board. Pour over varieties, espressos, cappuccino, macchiato, mochas, and lattes. Yum.
- Everything I have had here has been excellent. My usual is the New Orleans cold brew, delicious. The Mocha is spectacular, high quality chocolate flavor not sweet like versions from other chains.
- Try a gibraltar, which is an espresso cut with a small amount of milk, served in a glass. Not on the normal menu but delicious.
- Nikos AntipordaSeptember 11, 2012This location is for the coffee enthusiast. Simple menu, fresh coffee and pastries from the Roastery and bakery in house. Baristas can be a bit of a coffee snubs. Seating is mostly alfresco.
- Nobody knowsMarch 24, 2014Lineup is long but it is worth it. Take your time in line to decide what you want. Selection if snacks is low so if you're there for a snack and coffee, you may want to consider munching before you go
- Adrian PhillipsFebruary 21, 2016Although the building is enormous the cafe itself is small and lines can wrap outside. I had a fantastic macchiato using their featured espresso and wasn't disappointed. The foam art here is strong.
- Amazing soy mochas! Always perfect, they actually understand when I say "not hot" yay! To date, all folks working there have been awesome far beyond standard customer service nicety. Stellar coffee!
- Ashley MowreyMarch 5, 2017This is where the roasters is and also where they do couplings. The cafe portion is tiny, with limited outdoor seating. Beware, The space doesn't permit the waffle craze the other locations have.
- Edna N.December 30, 2013A big fan of the Soy Latte. For more jolt get the Cappuccino. Mocha can't be for to-go. New Orleans iced coffee for those who want a good dose of caffeine. Snickerdoodle & Olive Oil Shortbread <3.
- The iced coffee tastes completely different than any other iced coffee. At first I thought it was a bit strange, but now I realize how amazing it is. I can't get enough of it. You have to try it.
- Barbara YangJanuary 7, 2017New Orleans iced coffee for a great drink with some sweetness + milk! Cafe has outdoor seating and one standing bar inside
- Taylor SchoenauNovember 2, 2017awesome little coffee shop! we stopped at the one in Oakland that used to be an old bank!
- BikaboutApril 23, 2019Enjoy local coffee at the peak of its flavor at Blue Bottle. On Sundays, there's free public coffee tastings and a "How to Brew" series.
- JasonOctober 30, 2016The New Orleans is my go-to at Blue Bottle every single dang time. A fantastic alternative to a latte.
- Dan RobertsJuly 3, 2016The first blue bottle I was ever taken to (O(5 years) ago) where I learned about the wonders of the NOLA cold brew ...
- If you have a smartphone, download Parkmobile so you can quickly & easily park on the street with meters. You can pay while you walk across the street and wait in line.
- Unlike some other coffee shops, their drinks are served at the perfect drinking temperature -- always. Enjoy immediately for the best experience.
- Ellen McGrodyFebruary 10, 2015Amazing iced coffees and wonderful treats. Try the honey and sea salt granola bar!
- Richard RuedaFebruary 15, 2010A little out of the way, but it's worth the trek for this amazing coffee. Coffee comes in small batches (beans) that you need to grind once home. Their ginger shortbread compliments the coffee nicely Read more
- Pay homage to the coffee visionaries at their original outpost. Always try the NOLA on your first trip.
- Barbara MeadOctober 3, 2013Great coffee and decadent pastries. Only thing missing is WiFi!! Must be the only cafe left that doesn't provide WiFi.
- Jaweed NaweedJanuary 21, 2013Avoid the weekends, lines are long but well worth it. Dont need to wait in line if you buying cookie or pre-packed coffee.
- Love the everything about this place! The coffee and the snacks! Also the baristas here a really nice. :)
- Willy WJune 1, 2014be careful when parking kitty-corner from blue bottle. was there 20 minutes and car was broken into. happened last week to a car in the same spot.
- Edward KMay 25, 2015I am no coffee connoisseur, but the lattes taste like cookies. This is a compliment.
- Alex KimSeptember 24, 2014Not a lot of seating other than a few outdoor tables but take your coffee out to the pier and relax by the water.
- Food & WineApril 21, 2011Owner James Freeman's constantly changing coffee menu is more complicated than most wine lists, highlighting regions, varietals, altitudes and processing methods.
- Bre RozApril 14, 2015Looking for a nice souvenir to being a loved one, a bag of these been a is a great idea.
- Guy behind me said sometimes the drip is better than a latte. The milk distracts from the beauty.
- Just shut up and order. This is Blue Bottle, everything is good.
- Amanda JaneSeptember 25, 2012One of the few places you can take your coffee black and not feel like it's because of principle
