Whatever Coffee

Whatever Coffee is a specialty coffee pop-up nestled inside Stein’s Deli at 2207 Magazine St in New Orleans, LA, serving a rotating selection of espresso-based drinks and filtered coffees sourced from Pretty Coffee. The name came about after the founders struggled to agree on one from a list of nearly 80 options and ultimately filed paperwork simply as “Whatever” — a name that perfectly captures the shop’s laid-back, community-first atmosphere. Open Tuesday through Sunday, the cozy counter has built a loyal following in the Irish Channel neighborhood, where regulars are known to linger more for conversation than caffeine.
