Cafe Envie

Cafe Envie at 1241 Decatur Street has been a French Quarter constant for nearly a decade, located steps from the French Market with open-air sidewalk seating that captures the district's street energy. The menu runs from espresso drinks and cold brew through shrimp and grits and fresh-squeezed juices, covering the full range of Quarter visitor and neighborhood regular needs. Late-night hours until midnight on weekends make it one of the few specialty-leaning cafes in the French Quarter that welcomes the post-dinner crowd. The relaxed atmosphere and reliable execution have kept it in the rotation for locals who work and live in the Quarter.
