Fresh food made to order, fresh pressed juices, smoothies and coffee. The coffee was a bit bitter for my liking but the Ozzy bowl was hot and flavourful.

Poached eggs with grilled brussel sprouts...new adventure in food. Very tasty. Iced Chamomile tea- also very tasty. Great place for those who like vegetarian food.

Was finally able to stop in this afternoon while shopping on Magazine. I was excited that there was plenty of free parking in the area. The space is lovely. Staff was polite and friendly. The matcha latte with almond milk was delicious. Will definitely be back!

Super easy walking distance from my apartment, so I make it part of my weekend routine to stop in for a hot drip and a muffin. Yall. These muffins are ridiculous. Theyre the best muffins Ive ever had - Im partial to the blueberry, but theyre all incredible. Easygoing atmosphere and Covid-safe!

This place brews a delicious cup of coffee. The menu looks tasty (with some vegan options!), but the baked goods were too irresistible. Vegan/gf king cake donut was beyond perfect. This was my first time in, and we will be back for sure. Thanks for having a vegan option for us herbivores💚

I LOVE hivolt. All the employees are awesome. If you go enough theyll learn your name but also your order. The food is also amazing. They have changed it up a bit since I started coming here about a year ago. So you cant get tired of it.

Hivolt Coffee is my favorite place to eat breakfast in New Orleans! I love to order the French Connection and add avocado. This breakfast sandwich is sooo tasty; the combination of egg, ham, havarti, red onion, arugula, dijonnaise, and avocado on a croissant creates THE PERFECT bite. Inside, there’s a pleasant atmosphere and fun artwork! Definitely would recommend!!

The coffee and atmosphere is bomb but special shoutout to the great selection of togo drinks in the coolers and gluten-free goodies in the case. Ive been here dozens of times and always left in such a good mood

We visited High Volt Coffee on the way to a tour of the Garden District. It’s a great spot with lots of options of people with all kinds of dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free etc.)I love a good quiche and unfortunately when we arrived, although there were plenty of quiche options, none of them were vegetarian. I opted for the veggie frittata served with kefir yogurt. This looked really cool in the display case of the items made today, kind of a mini crustless quiche. (see I was in a quiche mood…) It was okay but not amazing.I also had a peach ginger muffin which was super dense, without a lot of peach in it, and no discernible ginger taste. In retrospect I should have gone with the “morning glory”…everything in their display case looked amazing.My wife had the Ozzy which is two poached eggs on sautéed greens, avocado, grape tomato and quinoa, also with the kefir dressing. She loved this meal.She also treated herself to a vegan raw brownie…a very sweet and awesome, date-sweetened and super rich. (in a delicious manner). She couldn’t finish it but was happy to carry it around the rest of the day and finish it in a glorious second round.There are plenty of vegan and gluten free choices.Also lots of coffee choices too. You have to love when a breakfast-centric place takes its coffee seriously. I got the American Rosales Pour-over. It was surprisingly smooth and bold.Although I would have loved a vegetarian quiche choice, I’d definitely go back, when in New Orleans, to have more coffee and sample more from their drool-inducing same day baked display cabinet.

Hivolt have such a nice atmosphere to have a quick bite in while getting some work done. The Tuna Sandwich and the shockproof coffee got my brain flowing with thoughts and creativity. I suppose thats how they got their name.

One of my favourite coffee shops in NOLA. So many vegan cake and bakery options and great coffee and friendly vibe. There is WiFi although it is not the best but it is worth it for the food.

The breakfast food is done very well and is delicious. Only need exactly what they give you on the plate. The coffee doesnt need any other maintenance either, they delivery it perfectly the way it should be. I go here quite often and it seems to never be out of beautiful women every time I go.

This coffee shop is wonderful! We tried the quiche, delicious!! Creamy, cheesy, flaky crust! Highly recommend it! Comes with a lovely side salad. The cappuccinos are great. They also have several flavored coffees to choose from. The shop is small but artistically decorated. Plenty of seating and very friendly staff! ❤️

The Cortado took a few sips to get used to but once I did I loved it.The Cola Cocktail Soda is very much like Coke Black. Try it with a slice of orange, its wonderful.Good Morning Vietnam was good as well. Not amazing but I couldnt tell you what could make it better.Nice atmosphere and nice staff.

This place is DELICIOUS. Seriously go here for breakfast and get their breakfast croissant (I think its called the Frenchman or something like that). It was beyond good. Like I wish I could go back and experience that croissant again.The green smoothie was also one of the best Ive had in a really long time, and I drink tons of smoothies. Will definitely be coming back!

First off, let me say that the food was excellent. The breakfast sandwiches (I ordered The French Connection, girlfriend ordered the Toonie Melt) looked fantastic and tasted even better. I honestly cannot stress this point enough. Come for the food, if nothing else. This was the cheapest place we ate at in NOLA and is in the top 5.BUT THAT’S NOT ALL.The staff was extremely friendly and the service was 100% on point.The coffee was good. The iced coffee was great.The interior decoration and atmosphere was also great — beautiful, clean, and thorough. Even the menu items served the casual, hip aesthetic.I loved it and will be coming back.

Good coffee, great atmosphere, stellar artist showcase. The food is good and theres a huge hot sauce selection.BUT, not enough outlets and the chairs are pretty uncomfortable and loud. Also, the space echos a lot (especially with the metal chairs), a little sound buffering would go a long way.

Been in the neighborhood awhile but not a coffee drinker. Just recently discovered their food selection. Good food and cool atmosphere. Can get crowded with lots of people working from here and taking up whole tables for long periods of time. Nice sidewalk outdoor space.

Review №62

This is, hands down, the best coffee shop in New Orleans. The staff are knowledgeable and attentive. The coffee they’ve chose for their espresso is exactly what espresso should be. The thing that makes them the best is their bakery and food options. The Brussel shoals with brussel sprouts and bacon are out of this world. The raspberry lemon muffins compliment this perfectly....just go there already.

Delicious and inventive food...great coffee. What a dynamite combination. The breakfast bowls are outstanding as is the Dom breakfast sandwich. The latter is a really fresh brioche roll with a fried egg, really flavorful, think sliced ham and cheddar cheese. Seriously one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever eaten.

First off, in am not a coffee drinker. Great selection of ice teas and juices. Enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and resisted the many other bakery temptations offered. The atmosphere was terrific. Was looking for a place to get an important project finished and needed no distractions from work or home. Free good wifi, plenty of power outlets and good background music for stimulating the mind.

Stopped here twice while in town for business, I think it may be my new favorite. Cold brew is great and they actually give you a large when you order a large and not a 12oz! Will definitely go back

Review №69

Amazing coffee and muffins -- their cappuccinos absolutely rock, as do their chocolate banana muffins. I would also suggest that you not be fooled by a line out of the door, it moves very quickly and even if the line wraps around the building, it is well worth the wait. Though this is a cafe, I would not suggest coming here to study as it is almost certain to busy and gets a high capacity of foot traffic. The atmosphere is bright and modern/industrial, and of course the service is exceptional. The one problem is lack of parking, everything else is flawless.

Review №73

City-wide BEST coffee. Especially the Latte. Truly fantastic foamed milk. However... we would happily give our full five stars, but we have encountered multiple times, over several years, that the baked goods (croissants, muffins) are passed off as morning-fresh when theyre day-olds. >>> Thats NOT OKAY, not for those prices, not ever.

Review №74

Dont waste your money here. If the staff makes a mistake and you try to get it corrected, they treat you like YOU did something wrong. The manager hides in the shadows and allows rude staff to mock and ridicule you as though your money and business mean nothing. I have been a regular customer here for years but that ended today. I suggest you not waste your money here as there are much nicer, cleaner establishments that stand behind what they do. They also treat you better and are consistently good. Coast Roast Coffee in the Auction House Market, Mammoth Espresso and French Truck Coffee are much better choices than this poorly run, dirty, musty place with ignorant staff.

My husband and I absolutely love the food and drinks. We actually go out of our way to make trips here including paying for parking. We love fine dining and my husband worked in hospitality for many years but, we are big on customer service. I am happy that Google gives you an opportunity to voice your opinion and I have to say the customer service here is questionable!

Review №89

I don’t understand why their muffins fail in the tasty catergory! There isn’t any love in the way they make/bake their muffins. All you taste is flower & sugar. They have so many you’d think they were good. I wonder if they taste any of the items they bake and expect us to purchase?I’m so disappointed in their muffins and breakfast sandwiches! I like good tasting quality food, and this place is lacking it BIG TIME!
