New Orleans has one of the oldest coffee cultures in the U.S., dating back to the 1700s. French colonists brought coffee traditions with them, and the port city soon became a major coffee import hub. With its rich cultural heritage and vibrant spirit, New Orleans blends seamlessly with coffee culture in a way that’s uniquely soulful and storied. New Orleans’ coffee culture doesn’t just reflect the city—it lives and breathes it. From street corners filled with music to historic French Quarter cafés, coffee here is a medium of cultural preservation, innovation, and soulful expression.

In this episode we feature Trey Malone, with his signature beard and infectious personality rooted in the South, and take you to some spots sharing coffee in their own unique way.
