"Lighthouse Coffee is close to LSU’s campus so it’s generally bustling with college students. We recommend getting there a little early if you plan to set up shop for a while. If you can’t tell, we’re alllll about the specialty drinks, and you can’t come here and not try the cereal latte."

"Not only do they have great coffee and tasty baked goods, they also sell products that give back!. Right next to the counter you can check out some products/goods from The Hope Shop."

"Rêveis French for “dream,” and it perfectly communicates the intent behindRêve Coffee Lab— the shop sets out to build a space where people can share their stories. Located in the White Star Market, Rêve Coffee Lab focuses on quality over quantity. They roast their coffee in their own micro-roaster, and you can enjoy their exceptional brews through a hot cup in-house or by purchasing a bag of whole coffee beans.Rêve Coffee Lab serves a type of beverage for everyone, whether you only drink black coffee or prefer flavored lattes."

"Rêve Coffee Lab just opened their own spot in Baton Rouge and we could not be more excited. It’s located in Willow Grove by Perkins Rowe, which is a nice, quaint little area of town. Their specialty coffees are amazing."

"The staff was so amazing, I let them know I had never been to Shipley's before and asked a couple questions and they were patient and helpful."

"My mouth is watering just from looking at the photo menu online. The selection of burgers here is so intense, I’m not quite sure how you decide between the Boudin Burger, the Pizza Burger or the PB & J Burger. This is just one of those places where you just keep coming back to try more and more."
