Next time you find yourself on the Canal streetcar line, hop off at the Cemeteries exit and head on over to Sacred Grinds cafe. You won't find another cafe with an atmosphere as unique as this, and it could very well become your new favorite coffee joint!
Located near the corner of Canal Street and City Park Avenue, Sacred Grinds is certainly a one-of-a-kind-coffee shop.
It’s in between two historical cemeteries, Oddfellow’s Rest and St. Patrick’s Cemetery, so the decor is quite fitting considering its surroundings.
Not only do they serve delicious coffee, but they have a wonderful selection of home-brewed teas and scrumptious pastries.
Perhaps one of the strangest quirks about this zombie-themed cafe is the back patio view.
The back patio opens up to a unique view of Oddfellow’s Rest. The cemetery is closed to the public, so this is the best view you’ll get of this historical cemetery.
Just a chain link fence separate you from the dearly departed.
You can find Sacred Grinds at 5055 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70119.
