CC's Coffee House

If you are new to Louisiana, you might be used to Starbucks on every corner, but in Baton Rouge, you are more likely to encounter a CC's Coffee House. In 1955, CC's began its journey in the heart of New Orleans. Since then, it has become Louisiana's favorite specialty coffee house. Their roots in the community and commitment to creating an authentic, comfortable experience combined with quality drinks and baked in-house food are just some of the reasons locals love CC's.

Brew Ha-Ha

Gabby Loubiere opened Brew Ha-Ha in 2004 to make her dream of becoming a successful mother and careerwoman a reality. The coffee shop has become a local favorite for its coffee and baked goods. Since 2019, Brew Ha-Ha has enjoyed brewing its own rich coffee, which pairs perfectly with its famous cake balls. There are 30 flavors of cake balls on Brew Ha-Ha's menu, with additional seasonal flavors to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Lighthouse Coffee

In 2018, a former English teacher for the Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Baton Rouge realized her dream of opening Lighthouse Coffee. This coffee shop isn't just about serving great coffee; it's about making a positive impact on the world, particularly the Baton Rouge community. Lighthouse Coffee sources its beans from Topeca Coffee Roasters in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a unique 100% direct seed-to-cup operation in the United States.

The atmosphere in Lighthouse Coffee is open and airy. The Hope Shop is a market supplied by Hands Producing Hope, an ethical impact nonprofit with a mission to help refugee women build relationships, gain knowledge, learn skills, and provide supplemental income. In addition to the artisan crafts in the Hope Shop, Lighthouse Coffee employs refugees, giving them experience, education, English practice, and other valuable resources to set them up for success.

Highland Coffees

Located at the historic North Gates of LSU, Highland Coffee is the go-to coffee shop for students and staff looking for a quiet place to work and indulge in quality coffee.

It is brought in green and roasted in small batches in a Probat roaster, ensuring freshness and a full-bodied taste. There is also a wide selection of teas and pastries if you want to grab a bite.

The Vintage

If you aren't familiar with beignets, you are in for a treat. These French-creole pastries made of fried dough topped with powdered sugar are a local staple, and The Vintage is the perfect place to try them. Their beignet flights, bites, and traditional and fancy options will delight everyone's tastebuds. Of course, the ideal way to pair the beignet's sweetness is with a local small-batch coffee or a glass of bubbles. Whether you are downtown with friends or indulging in a treat solo, you will love the welcoming atmosphere and deliciousness that awaits at The Vintage.
