Partially Equipped Café-Style Space for Lease in Mid-City

A rare blend of style, flexibility, and built-in community– this Mid City commercial gem is ready for its next chapter. Nestled on the first floor of the iconic Swan River Yoga building, 2940 Canal Street offers approximately 2,200 square feet of beautifully built-out space ideally suited for a cafe, juice bar, bakery, or boutique commercial concept. Warm wood finishes, curated lighting with greenery, arched openings, and a bright, open layout create an inviting energy that’s hard to find, making it a perfect backdrop for food, retail, or wellness-driven ventures. Formerly home to Good Karma Café, the space features an open-concept kitchen with a vent hood, commercial sinks, and prep tables already in place, plus included appliances such as refrigerators, shelving, and a display case. Three designated storage/prep spaces and three private offices, one with a shower, offer versatile use for back-of-house, meetings, or client work. Central air, a washer/dryer, and shared internet service add to the convenience. The interior layout balances connection and separation, offering clear zones for kitchen, dining, work, or display, all tied together by natural light and earthy design. A partially covered rear patio with picnic tables invites outdoor dining or lounging, while off-street parking (first come, first served) and proximity to the Canal Streetcar line make access a breeze. Beyond the walls, the space enjoys built-in foot traffic and synergy from the wellness-minded clientele of Swan River Yoga above. Whether you're looking to expand an existing brand or launch a new concept in one of New Orleans’ most walkable, creative neighborhoods, this nearly turnkey commercial opportunity offers the infrastructure, ambiance, and location to bring your vision to life.
