Not a place that I’ll frequent daily despite living 2 miles away but I’m sure I’ll go again at some point.
I have it three stars for two reasons:
2- the space has a hollow, modern, echoey feel to it. I was sitting there with a friend and it felt like everything we were saying was audible to the entire place. Not warm and comfortable like I feel a coffee shop should be.
Service is very friendly, always had a smile and plenty cheerful.
Highly recommend if you are in Baton Rouge/midcity.
Fantastic Coffee Shop. Atmosphere is great with large windows and ample natural light. The staff is always polite and greet you with a smile.
As far as quality and freshness, I’m not sure that you are going to find a better place in BR.
When you walk in you'll see they roast their own beans. The fancy cold brew machines line the counter. Pricing is fairly standard at $3.50-4.50 for most drinks (besides drip).
Great looking spot, very hip. I’ve been twice now to get a morning coffee to go. Very knowledgeable baristas and were cool and excited to talk about the different bean and brew offerings.
All in all it feels a little too cookie cutter for my taste. Coffee was so-so. Service was outstanding though, so I'd come back at some point.
Its close proximity to my home and downtown make it great to stop in for iced coffee. I only wish it stayed open a little longer then 6pm.
Coffee was pretty good, I got what appears to be their flagship drink (milk iced coffee) and it tasted like nothing but milk - quite a let down. My friend got a pourover which was nice, though.
From the outside it immediately feels like a hipster coffee shop, enough so that a guy with a flannel shirt and a curved moustache was sitting at the window. Concrete floors, exposed filament lights, unfinished ceilings, pastel colors - it's like they got it out of a magazine, as we've all seen this style a million times.
Loud bland coffee shop, with an old truck parked outside. So-so tea but no milk (only an unlabeled carafe of cream for coffee). So-so cocoa. Such bad food we did not even finish our lunch. Grilled cheese came with hard pears that should have been riper or cooked. Pecan salad lacked dressing other than a splash of vinegar. Pros include a young crowd, unisex restrooms, and bike racks. Cons: loud, sterile atmosphere, bad food, no outdoor seating. Owners should visit Diesel Cafe in Somerville, MA, which is the type of cafe this seems to unsuccessfully aspire to.
1- cup size/milk choices. The largest size available is really small and they don’t have a reduced fat milk option. I get that the proper way to serve espresso drinks is a small portion and whole milk such as this. I don’t care. Give me the option of the Americanized version in a big cup or the coffee snob version in the kids cup. I’ll pay you more for it. No prob.
Coffee is okay, gorgeous but packed lobby area. My boyfriend enjoys their fresh beans but they’re in house coffee is just okay. Not many options (or flavors)
