Special concept: worth seeing for what it is
Morning Call
New Orleans, United States
Why it’s on the route
Morning Call has served café au lait and beignets since Joseph Jurisch opened it in the French Market in 1870, making it the city's second-oldest coffee stand after Café du Monde. It moved to Metairie in 1974 and ran a stand in City Park from 2012 until losing that lease, then reopened on Canal Boulevard near the park in 2020. Expect chicory-style café au lait and powdered-sugar beignets rather than specialty coffee.
