CC\'s Gourmet Coffee House, 2917 Magazine Street, at 7th Street, New Orleans

Community Coffee joined the world of coffee with a sophisticated chain of coffeehouses located around New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. Rather than only sell the New Orleans Blend that made ""Community Coffee"" a household name, CC's also offers upscale single-bean and blended bag coffees from around the world to take home and brew yourself. At the bar order drip coffee, espresso, cappuccino, or the chain's signature drink, the Mochasippi, a frozen concoction of espresso, milk and a choice of flavours in honor of the mighty Mississippi River that flows along New Orleans. The chocolate Mochasippi is terrific. Pastries, pies, cakes and cookies made from TV chef John Folse's recipes are also available, as well as Republic of Tea assortment of teas.
