“Awesome vide, great array of books and nice people. There’s also a sweet cat that creeps around the corner and scares you, which is a nice alternative to coffee.Found two perfect books for me, which is usually hard to find in other book stores.Check it out!”
“Amazing! Not only did we buy 11 books (their selection was incredible), but they were generous enough to take out and show us their 1562 Bible. We found great conversation and friendliness. This is a true gem. The perfect balance between small, local, antique, modern, and clean. We will be going back next time we're in NOLA!”
““During my first visit to this gem in New Orleans, I had the pleasure of meeting two sisters who both worked at and owned the book center. One of the sisters was a captivating storyteller, which is why I consider this place a treasure trove of literary gems. After hearing her beautiful story, I became a customer for life.””
“A cute neighborhood spot to grab a good book and a good drink. They are filled with exceptional staff that will help you find the perfect new cover to add to your own library.”
“Do not miss this charming bookstore on Decatur street. It’s a quiet place where you can get lost in the stacks of books and even find a new friend! (They have a sweet and friendly cat)”
“William faulkner lived here for a year. Here was one he wrote his first novel and New orleans sketches. This is very small with a great variety of books. I wish they had some books in Spanish.”
“What a charming bookstore! It is small and cluttered with books, the owner seems like a father who watches his children with love and care, I love this type of a little bookstore. Worth to stop by and get some unique feelings.”
“This is not your traditional bookstore. I’ve never seen anything like it. Towers of books reach to the ceiling, and you’re never quite sure if the next precarious stack you pass will fall on top of you or not. I was genuinely a bit nervous squeezing through the aisles, but the danger made it all the more fun.”
“The store is beautiful! The customer service was Ah-mazing!! I bought 3 things from here for my daughter for Christmas and she looooved all 3! The later gator door mat makes it feel like home. The street tile magnets are decorative and so much fun to play with and leave messages. The Nola bucket list book has brought many laughs and “ I’ve done that’s “. In a world where customer service barely exists anymore…Dirty Coast is an exceptional find! Love Love Love this store!! ??”
“Finally stopped by after driving by so many times and seeing the sign and I am glad I did. Evidently, they are closing their doors soon to focus on a book-mobile type situation, which would be way cool. Anyways, the person working was friendly and very helpful. I look forward to seeing their book-mobile and supporting them in the future.”
“Together with the Cabildo and Presbytère, this museum ticket can be purchased at a discount. I would recommend the package, but this experience was much more limited than the other two. If you’ve never had a chance to go inside a grand old home from the 19th century, do this. It’s worth the price of entry along with the other two museums.”
“My daughter is now a returning student at Dillard University. Her goal while looking for a university was to attend a HBCU and we both believe she made a great choice. After attending a college where the students were just another number. Granted the university need to continue to upgrade as for any business. When I arrive on campus to visit and inquire, the staff is always friendly that's my experience and the professor's care about our young adults. Keep teaching , caring and preparing our next generation!”

“I am so impressed with the customer service, which is almost unheard of during this time of everyone being overstretched! Kudos to Mari and everyone at LU New Orleans Bookstore!”
“(Translated by Google) Very Beautiful Bookstore. There are many books that you can have all the hours in the day to read all you want.(Original)Muita Bonita Livraria. Há muitos livros que possam ter tudas as horas no dia para ler tudo que quer.”
“For a community college, this is not only a big campus with equally impressive buildings, but the interiors have an old world feel to them that I just assumed you'd need to pay $50,000 a year in tuition to get. Ochsner is building an allied health school here at the moment.”
“I love patronizing local bookstores wherever I go. After reading reviews I was a bit hesitant but also knew what to possibly expect.Before you can step in the door you are bombarded by signs that require you to sanitize your hands and put on a mask (if you cough). There’s even someone sitting at the door telling you to do it or you’re not admitted. Clean hands while touching books that others have is not the worst thing in the world and didn’t bother me.Like others, it was the general tone of the other many/numerous signs. Not so much asking politely but either demanding or assuming you’re using your phone for pictures and/or searching for better prices on Amazon. I would have taken photos to support these comments but was worried I’d draw unwanted attention.I get it - staying alive as an independent book store when Amazon exists at rock bottom prices is damn near impossible. We all want to feel good about our purchase and support of the business and via the business the owner(s).Still, I believe there is a way for the owner to communicate the same messages throughout the store in a more neutral, nay dare I say, positive tone. Even the tone of the owner’s response to less than positive reviews here makes me cringe and again made me question if I wanted to support this establishment.I enjoyed the fact that a majority of the store are local writers and artists. I picked up a lovely signed children’s book to remember my trip and asked for the bookstore stamp. Happy I stopped in. Hope others also have a positive experience, the signs and such not withstanding.”
