Congregation Coffee Roasters Expands in New Orleans
New Orleans is a city celebrated for its rich culture and culinary offerings, and the recent opening of Congregation Coffee Roasters’ second location on Magazine Street adds another layer to its vibrant coffee scene. Officially welcomed to the neighborhood on July 24, 2025, this café is not just a testament to the thriving local coffee culture, but also to the evolving journey of its new ownership.
Located at 900 Jefferson Avenue, this new cafe will serve its signature coffee menu, crafted from beans roasted locally at their Tchoupitoulas Street facility. Offering a mix of year-round blends and seasonal single-origin options, Congregation Coffee Roasters ensures that their coffee aficionados have something new to look forward to, along with fresh pastries from the renowned Ralph Brennan Bakery.
New Management, New Vision
The recent expansion comes on the heels of Patrick Brennan acquiring the coffee company in 2023. Under his leadership, the café's flagship location in Algiers Point was also revitalized, with plans to further expand into the French Quarter later this year. "We’re excited to continue expanding Uptown for an opportunity to serve additional New Orleans neighbors," Brennan noted in a release. His vision is clear: to grow with intention while prioritizing quality.
In just a year, Congregation Coffee Roasters has made substantial strides—roasting over 28,500 lbs. of coffee beans and forming new partnerships with local hotels to enhance their wholesale experience. This kind of growth indicates a flourishing demand for local quality coffee.
Connecting with the Community
At the heart of Congregation Coffee Roasters is a commitment to community. As neighborhoods in New Orleans continue to evolve, coffee shops have become essential gathering spots for locals, serving as hubs of connection and creativity. The owners emphasize their connection to local culture, which will resonate deeply with patrons seeking familiar tastes and experiences.
With the café opening its doors Wednesday to the community, it underscores a significant aspect of New Orleans’ social fabric. Coffee shops like Congregation aren’t just about caffeine; they are spaces that foster community spirit, conversation, and collaboration.
