A neighborhood café and bar rooted in the history of Westwego — serving handcrafted drinks, seasonal food, and genuine hospitality since day one.
Historic Grounds was born from a simple conviction: that a community deserves a space where the coffee is intentional, the atmosphere is unhurried, and every guest feels like they belong.
Located on Sala Avenue in the heart of Westwego, we draw on the character of this neighborhood — its history, its rhythm, its people — to create something that feels both grounded and alive. Morning espresso. Afternoon lunch. Evening cocktails. The day unfolds naturally here.

Every drink and dish made to order
Café by morning, bar by evening
Our menu changes with the seasons and the mood of the kitchen. Here's a glimpse of what you'll find at Historic Grounds.
Whether you're pulling up for a quick espresso or settling in for a long evening, every detail is designed to make you stay a little longer.
Start your day with carefully pulled espressos, fresh pastries from local bakeries, and the kind of slow morning you actually look forward to.
Lunch that doesn't feel like a compromise — hearty sandwiches, seasonal salads, and sides that actually satisfy between meetings or errands.
When the sun dips, the bar comes alive. Craft cocktails, local beer on tap, and a vibe that turns a Tuesday into something worth remembering.
Walk in any time — we're open every day. Or give us a call to reserve a spot for your next gathering.
