The data about Kaldi's is a little dated. Sadly, they closed over a year ago. The original Rue de la course is an interesting coffee shop on Magazine. I actually own a coffee shop in New Orleans, but don't want to violate the commercial restriction by mentioning which it is, but I will say we use two local roasters who provide us with our exclusively offered Fair Trade - Organic coffee. They both produce excellent product and any shop in this town that carries their coffees should have very good cups if they treat it right. New Orleans Coffeeworks and New Orleans Coffee Exchange are the two I recommend locally. They could tell you who in town serves their roasts, and hopefully they say we do it best!
Hi Robert... I read your profile, and your shop sounds extremely interesting. I hope others will read it as well...especially if they are coming to New Orleans!

You should re-think using only Fair Trade, and Organic coffees.... Fair Trade was tried years ago and failed (ICO)...All Fair Trade looks like is they dusted off the ICO books and re-named it...Years ago coffee was traded in 1/4 cent now it's in .001 of a cent.... For every penny coffee went up the government would get 3/4 of a cent and the farmer got 1/4... All it did was make the governments in South America more powerful and oppressive.... Organic is fine if it is truly what it says it is... Remember they have printing equipment there just like we have here.... And I don't think the USDA has the man power to keep track of it.... Why open up a avenue for curruption...
I'd stick with New Orleans Coffee Exchange (aka: New Orleans Coffee Roasters...) Bill Simmers has a roaster with alot of experience... New Orleans Coffee Works (The late: Covington Coffee Works)is an infant in the coffee world....
