Find our products at our monthly pop up cafes, The Good Shop & Laughing Buddha in New Orleans!
Church Alley Cafe & Grocery's brick and mortar shop closed on November 24, 2024 after 12 years of daily service. Thank you to our devoted community for co-creating a beautiful and safe environment for so many years.
Our pantry line is now available at The Good Shop, Laughing Buddha, and by pre-order & pick up at our monthly pop up cafes.
For 12 years, Church Alley offered a small food menu rooted in simple healthy dishes with as many local ingredients as possible.
We believe that restaurants, bars, corner stores, markets, and food trucks are on the front lines in community health. As sources of nourishment and safety during all the moments we share but especially in the face of a changing climate.
We are an engaged and compassionate community partner that nourishes through the joy of coffee and healthy meals in comfortable spaces where people feel able to communicate, dream and spend time with others in a stress-free environment.
Our pop up cafes will continue to offer a small rotating menu of community favorites in beautiful spaces around New Orleans. You can also pre-order items in our pantry line for pick up. Our panty line includes chai, cold brew, salad dressing, frozen cookie dough, frozen biscuit dough, coffee (or cocktail) flavored syrups, loose leaf teas, and speciality seasonal items.
Church Alley serves delicious coffee and tea and healthy meals in a comfortable space. We specialize in hand brewing, espresso, and cold brew. We are a mission driven company. We believe business, no matter the size, should make the community it supports better.
Church Alley aims to empower a more peaceful, resilient and connected Gulf Coast through compassionate and forward-thinking hospitality products and services. We believe in our capacity to improve the health and wellbeing of our customers, staff, and environment.

Reneé Blanchard's mission is to nourish, empower and serve in whatever capacity she finds herself. Working for the Waterkeeper Alliance during the BP Oil Disaster brought her back home to Louisiana during a particularly difficult time for all those that depend on the Gulf for their livelihoods. Traveling through the bayous and swamps of the Gulf Coast with fishing families and environmentalists was a reminder of her origins and her cajun ancestors. She decided to stay and make New Orleans her home.
