Morning Call Coffee Stand
Morning Call Coffee Stand is the name of two coffeehouses in the New Orleans metropolitan area that serve New Orleans-style café au lait and beignets.
Morning Call was opened by Joseph Jurisch in 1870, at the lower end of the New Orleans French Market[1], eight years after its main competitor, Café du Monde, opened a few blocks upriver in the French Quarter.[2]
In 1974, confronting rent increases and the redevelopment of the French Market district, the owners of the Morning Call closed the original location and moved to Fat City, a commercial district in Metairie, LA, in Jefferson Parish.[3]
In 2012, Morning Call Coffee Stand opened a second location in New Orleans' City Park.[4]
