About High Grinds

Vietnamese

Tucked into New Orleans’ Central City, this coffee shop doubles as a microhub for locally made pastries, specialty teas and a curated selection of THC offerings. Every ingredient and product comes from neighborhood purveyors, giving the menu a distinct, community-driven flavor. It’s the kind of place where morning rituals and slow afternoons feel equally intentional.

What to Order

Bayou Butter Croissant

A flaky, salt-kissed croissant made with locally cultured butter and a hint of cane syrup — perfect with morning coffee.

NOLA Spice Beignet Twist

A playful take on the classic beignet, dusted with spiced sugar from a neighborhood mill and served warm.

House Cold Brew — THC Infused (optional)

Slow-steeped local roast with an optional precisely dosed THC infusion for a mellow, balanced lift.
