First time ordering?

Start here.

We’re delighted that you have discovered Try-Me Coffee. 

Ordering from us is simple—but we do things a little differently.  

What Makes Try-Me Coffee Different?

  • Full Pounds, Fair Prices

    Our coffee comes in full 16 oz pounds, a rare thing when most are sold in smaller 12 oz bags. In a time of rising costs, we believe local coffee should remain accessible to the community.

  • Roasted by Hand for 100 Years

    We have been roasting coffee in the Bywater of New Orleans using vintage machines cared for across generations. Our staff learned their craft from those before them, and to this day every pound is roasted by hand.

  • Built by and for the Community

    Try-Me Coffee has been passed down through members of the New Orleans community for 100 years. Our roasting staff has been with us for over 30 years, and we remain independently owned and managed by residents of the Ninth Ward.

  • The Roaster for Coffee Shops & Restaurants

    Our roasts are served in the city’s most beloved restaurants and coffee shops. If you have delighted in the culinary richness of New Orleans, you’ve sipped Try-Me Coffee.
