It isn’t always easy to score a good cup of Joe. However, if you happen to be in Baton Rouge, finding good coffee should be the least of your worries. There are a number of extraordinary cafes all over the capital city. Here’s some of our favorite.

Coffee beans

Garden District Coffee

The Garden District is a historic neighborhood, and the residents expect the best from their local establishments – Garden District Coffee does not disappoint. Their in-house roasted beans deliver a savory flavor, every time. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the patio, taking in the essence of the time-honored neighborhood. The interior is spacious, accommodating occasional live music. For the ultimate experience, try the X-Treme and one of their delicious pastries.
