Live Oak Cafe - New Orleans

Z’otz is a fantastic place! The atmosphere is unique and slightly mystical, yet still very cozy. The barista was a lot of fun and crafted an amazing drink. There are plenty of seating options, whether you want to work or catch up with friends. I had a great time at this café and will definitely return.

The restaurant has a great selection of items and the staff are very friendly. I appreciate that the coffee is on the stronger side, which I personally enjoy. The atmosphere has a bit of a gothic vibe, but it's appealing in a positive way.

This is a charming and eclectic café. I really enjoyed the geek-inspired decor and the themed drinks. The iced white chocolate latte I ordered was quite refreshing. The blueberry muffin and sausage croissant were both satisfying and delicious. Towards the back, there's a cozy space with seating and books. The staff member who assisted us was very patient, especially since we had a teenager and two kids who were initially unsure about what to order. Everyone ended up happy with their choices, thanks to the friendly explanations about the drinks.

Z’otz is such a cool, bohemian, funky cafe. With many sectioned areas for seating, it’s a nice sized private coffee house. The staff is always welcoming and speedy, and the way they can dial in an espresso! Great decor, too.

This is the story of my experience in 2022. My friend spoke highly of this place, and so we traveled across the state to go visit. Upon entering the establishment, the man at the counter asked my friend and I for our papers. No joke, his words. I kind of giggled because I thought he was joking. My friend pulled his out, and I said “and yours sir?” The man looked at me crossly, and said “No vaccine papers, no service. Please leave.” I had been to multiple other great places to eat earlier in the day that were not asking for proof of vaccination status, and this man offered no alternative like ordering to go instead and just not dining inside. My friend tried to order coffee for me instead, and since we traveled this far I got it anyway, but I felt like I was treated like a second class citizen all over again. The man was rude, unyielding, and not customer friendly. I was only allowed to stand on the street corner and be served coffee by someone else. I hated how I felt, and I can’t shake that feeling. I will never return to this business. Lastly, the coffee was okay, not really worth the cost.
