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. It was founded after Cafe du Monde.

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]
