Coffee coast-to-coast: New Orleans French Market Coffee

French Market Coffee products
I was first introduced to this product by my dear friend Robert. For years, I had enjoyed coffee with chicory as a uniquely "only in New Orleans" treat, however, while traveling together in Mexico Robert pulled a few cans of this “juice” from his bag and I have been hooked since! Now Robert is not the only one to travel with his own coffee.

History: In 1890, the first can of French Market Coffee & Chicory was roasted, blended and packaged. The Bartlett and Dodge families, incorporated as the American Coffee Company, moved that famous coffee to 800 Magazine Street in 1941. In this post-Katrina age of fascination with our city and its history, we recognize the strength of our 117 years of calling New Orleans home. Our customers are fiercely loyal, both individually and institutionally. We are enjoyed in the iconic restaurants of a city known for its cuisine. As some like to say; all the flavor of New Orleans in a cup.
