Funny Library Coffee Shop New Orleans

Forced to decide on a tip before they make your order. After tipping I watched my cold brew being made with tap water. I mean it’s not a big deal. Just very under whelming. I gave a second star because it was nice having something right in the hotel where I was staying.

Exceptional space in the Lobby of Virgin Hotel. Great people. Cool music

Ok place

Cute place. Unfriendly barista. Payment requires you to tip before the coffee is made.

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!

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.

Staff will take care of you. Tasty lattes and pastries. No cooler environment to sip java then this library in the Virgin

Interesting coffee/bar space inside the hotel. Odd service too. Ordered the Nutella latte.

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.

Beautiful coffee shop inside an elegant hotel. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in NOLA!

Cosy place with quirky interior. I had a matcha latte and it unfortunately was so sweet it just tasted like liquid sugar. I’ve never been served matcha latte sweet before let alone so sweet that you could barely taste the matcha. I also had a croissant which was nice but would have been many times better had it just been warmed up a bit. Overall nice but not great. I can see it being a great place to just relax or do some work though. It was quiet despite being reasonably busy.

Inside the Virgin Hotel. Just the vibe I expected; laid back and a little quirky. I only got an Americano to go, but wished I could have stayed awhile. Next time I’m coming back for something stronger...

Spacious. Wifi. Great for working remotely if you don’t need quiet. Latte was not great, but the atmosphere was.

Just went today and had the rudest barista. Wouldn’t stop drying off her dishes while asking me “what do you want?” She didn’t tell me a total or that the machine was even ready for me-had to look at the screen to see and she charged me for 2 drinks instead of 1. When I mentioned I didn’t think the price was right, she fixed it but said nothing. No smile, no thank you.
