Great hangout spot near the campus. The coffee is great and the atmosphere is laid back. The decors are pretty nice too! They have a discounted refill offer for the coffee ordered while dinner in. The options for baked goods are plenty.

Great, historic little coffee shop that is open till 10pm! The only reason Im giving 4 stars is because it is pretty obvious the tea doesnt get rotated. My tea was super stale. Work on that for me and Ill be a five star customer.

One of the BEST GEMS of Baton Rouge. Its a perfect place for studying, socializing, or grabbing a quick healthy drink or snack and the outdoor patio is so refreshing and peaceful !

I walked in and I was in heaven. Exceptional coffee bar and staff. Able to prepare exactly what you want. An LSU institution.

The white chocolate mocha i think its what I had WAS AMAZING! I got it iced since its hot outside but Im definitely coming back for more. First time coming to Highland Coffees and I loved it. Only suggestion I would have so far is that the wooden chairs are a bit uncomfortable for someone who wants to just stay there for hours. The place is cozy but needs better seating options. It gets full so the comfortable couches get taken quickly!

I love the atmosphere of the shop and the area outside!! The food is great but the coffee was only okay and the baristas were a little rude

The atmosphere: clean and spacious with high ceilings and outdoor seating. There arent many places to sit if its midterms or finals.Service: its alright, the staff get your order and fill it quick enough, though often times Ive found them to drag on their own personal conversations when theres a line.The coffee and pastries: Coffee is good, not amazing but its perfectly fine while reading or having a coffee talk with friends. The pastries are overpriced for the below average quality. They taste refrigerated, artificial, and unpleasant.

Highland coffee provided excellent service and delicious coffee. On top of that their pastries are to die for. I definitely recommend this coffee place to everyone in Baton Rouge. If youre a non-sweet aficionado, like myself, you should definitely try the French Vanilla Iced Coffee. Youre welcome!

The coffee aint even good tbh basic flavors and low quality beans but nice place to study nice atmosphere and not much competition for really good coffee near cmapus

My wife & I stumbled upon this place during Winter Storm 21. We were so glad to see them open. The coffee & ambience was great. Highly recommend this spot. Side note we thought it was pretty funny that in the midst of a winter storm students were still busting their tails studying.

An amazing place: great coffee, friendly staff, quite (perfect to study and work while enjoying coffee), comfortable room temperature (vs freezing at most other places), clean, a lot of seating places indoors and outdoors in a small banana trees garden. They are very artistic, add picture to every cup. Great choice of teas as well. And it is very popular.

While the coffee is phenomenal, have you tried the cheesecake?? It’s next level that puts this coffee shop a notch above the rest. Be prepared to know your espresso types, you will have options and decisions!

So if youre a beginner at coffee its overwhelming to look at the menu, but their stuff is awesome and the staff is super willing to help! I highly suggest this place if you know your stuff!

One of my favorite coffee shops in Baton Rouge! A great study space right by campus and the workers are so sweet. Cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Lots of options

Cute coffee shop. Great service. Beautiful patio.

I chill here for work and pretend to be an LSU student

What do we want? Better WiFi. When do we want it? WHENEVER IS REASONABLE.The only Roaster/Cafe combo in greater LA that I know of. Hidden jewel. Will make your clothes stink.

Great coffee, lots of seating and good environment for studying and hanging out with friends.

Best frozen blended drinks ever. Prefer Highland Coffees over CCs and Starbucks any day.

Very nice coffee and wholesome asethetic

PSA: This place is not on Highland by typical location descriptions!! Its off Chimes next to insomnia cookies. The green tea is ok not great. The iced caramel macadamia iced coffee was pretty darn good though!! The Lemon Blueberry Bread was good for the value and not overly sweet!

Great coffee shop! Its huge inside with a lot of different seating options. Very low key ambiance with classical music playing in the background. Im a fan of their flavored (unsweetened) iced coffees. Great place to study or just relax.

Best loose leaf tea selection in town. Sad they no longer have the orange blossom oolong.

My favorite spot to go since my first year at University--cant beat the atmosphere, amazing coffee, and caring staff.

Excelent coffee. Youll have a selection of coffee beans from all over the world so you can customize your drink to some extent. Customer service is good too and the atmosphere of the place is great to study or chill with friends ot alone.

I have good memories here. 4 stars because of all the mistakes Ive made in life.

Coffee is great. Granite is the best one. It is a great place to study.

Love this place. There’s plenty of places to sit, the wifi works well, and the service is great. The coffee is excellent is well caffeinated which I LOVE and need. They have a wide variety of flavors and syrups as well. Love choosing this place over chains, it’s great!

The best coffe and tea at baton rouge, a lot of options for iced and hot coffee! Also good muffins!

Well, I am biased since I worked here 14 years ago... but its such a great atmosphere and the coffee, teas and foods are really delicious. So many teas to choose from, so many coffees roasted onsite. Fresh ground coffees, granita, espresso drinks, blended drinks, muffins, cakes and other sweets, bagels and croissants... everything Ive ever had is really great. Owned by a local who is on site every day to make sure everything is running smooth. Always interesting art to see (rotated frequently to give local artists exposure), delicious desserts (made by local bakers), interesting articles to read (sit in the comfy chairs and fall asleep), and certainly always interesting conversations to have with the variety of patrons. A staple for Baton Rouge as much as the Chimes or LSU itself, you owe it to yourself to drop by and give it a whirl. Grab a cup before or after you go to the Chimes or Louies. Theyre open late!

Great place to get a traditional coffee house experience. Service is excellent. Flavored espresso drinks arent excessively sweet. Light or dark roast espresso options are available. I have enjoyed every drink Ive tried here. Highly recommended.

A Baton Rouge staple, it remains a good spot despite itself. The location is unbeatable for any study session (or pre-game walk to Death Valley), and LSU’s finest minds can be seen here engaging in enlightened conversation along side the local counter-culture bohemians. Despite the high potential, the owner plays drab music to match the styrofoam to-go cups and hasn’t updated anything since the 80’s (& not in the best ways). It’s basically a beautiful thing with a bad haircut, and if they’d just adjust the vibe with some much needed style it could truly go from good enough to great. Employees are generally cool once you penetrate an initial social barrier of distance, and if you’re in the area I would always recommend a quick (or long) visit to B.R.’s finest coffee shop.

Excellent service product and experience. Definitely coming back.

The food was superb, the staff pleasantly attentive and knowledgeable.

Good tea.

I absolutely LOVE this place!!! I go for the fresh roasted coffee beans. Students probably go for the WiFi... and caffeine. I live in the area and finding ANYWHERE that roasts their coffee in house aint easy. Once youve had fresh roasted, youll be loathe to get grocery store (roasted months ago) beans again. They also have loose tea for sale or drink. Snacks too as any coffee house should.For the true coffee connoisseurs out there, this place is a must! Keep an eye out for bags marked as natural as these are air dried instead of the usual water drying method. Gives a whole new flavor to the exact same bean and Im personally a fan of it, though your mileage may vary. The owner doesnt get these in very often. I might start a petition?...

The vibe is great, and made me feel comfortable, workers are very friendly, only down side is a little noisy but thats because lots of people enjoy it. Lots of area to sit and the WIFI works perfectly fine.

Fun place to go for coffee and friends! I enjoy doing homework online on their outside patio 😁

This is my favorite place for a frozen blended chai latte or a cup of espresso. Beautiful ambiance, popular study environment, live music sometimes. I stop here any chance I get. I only wish it were bigger.

Good coffee but a little expensive

Enjoyed a great cup of cold brew, nice place to sit and enjoy time by yourself or with friends.

You can walk in and order a high quality simply medium cup of coffee that is clearly better than a grande youd get at the Starbucks. Atmosphere is also great if you wanna sit. Its not too easy to find parking near this coffee shop though; especially outside of summer months. Their croissants are also awesome but they run out of them very early in the morning. Still giving it 5 starts though.

Cool atmosphere. A hot spot for students by the look of it. I had one of thread medium roast Coffees and it was fantastic. Ill keep this spot on my list for future trips to Baton Rouge

The espresso is amazing and the service is wonderful! There is a little bit of a wait, but it’s worth it. The atmosphere is very cozy and great for studying.

Best cafe in Baton Rouge. You can visit whenever you want. They have quality coffees and good services. Highly recommended.

A great place to get a cup of coffee

I love the service here. Everyone is kind, and always smiling. They have amazing tea and muffins and they sell loose leaf tea as well for a great price. Its never been a disappointment. :)

Very cool place to have a chat or hang out with a friend. Not noisy and not too quiet either. Strong espresso.

This place has great high ceilings, and lots of space indoor and out. Doesnt have the typical cave-like coffee shop feel, unless you go towards the back. They have oat milk which is my favourite to have with coffee and teas so 👌

Coffee is DELICIOUS! I often walk with my little one there - great indoor and outdoor seating and it’s pretty kid-friendly. Baked goods are also tasty. Super cute, local shop. One I take all my friends to when they visit BR.

This is a great, college, hipster coffee shop, with a nice layout and lots of variety in coffee and tea. You can probably get more teas here than other places. This place is lively, but can be a bit noisy and distracting.

Excellent place to hangout when you dont have classes you can get your work done.Lot of students have their project meetings etc over here. you see a lot of them preparing or completing their assignments over a cup of coffee/tea

Not a huge fan of their coffees. But, their desserts are pretty good.Also, the atmosphere is very good to do some work/study.

Great coffee! Wonderful atmosphere! We will be back!

Cutest coffee shop in BR.

Nice coffee shop. Variety of coffee roasts. Knowledgeable staff. Enjoyed stopping here on the way through Baton Rouge.

Personally I was turned off by this place. Atmosphere was quaint and lovely, but the baristas are ... not pleasant. Coffee was decent though.

A great coffee place. Coffee is roasted at the establishment. They sell it too. The service is so polite and caring. Youd think that youre special. None of the commercial affectation and/or fastness. The environment is cozy with esoteric furniture selection despite the unusual size for a gourmet cafe. The owner must be a coffee aficionado.

It is a great atmosphere, really getting the vibe of a great coffee shop down pat. The staff was nice and had good advice for selections. I really wish they would do pour overs, especially where they roast their own beans.

Lovely coffee however this is reduced by inefficient customer methods. Low levels of cleanliness with staff again not maintaining better levels of cross contamination. Lovely products on offer but badly displayed in clean film. Croissants look cooked from frozen or over cooked. Overall, the coffee and atmosphere is lovely but other areas need improving.

This is my all-time favorite coffee house. It has a friendly and calming atmosphere, and the music they play is good for working or conversation. Many college students and professors frequent this place. The outside patio is pleasant. They also have an excellent selection of teas and some good pastries, as well as coffee paraphernalia.

Good coffee 👍 and nice environment for study.

Underwhelming atmosphere, but they do roast their own here. Good place to take a cup to go and walk about LSU campus. The campus is very well landscaped. Both times I have visited there have been a lot of people studying in small groups --as one would anticipate given its edge of campus location.

Fantastic local coffee joint popular among both students and regular denizens of Baton Rouge. Great place for study groups, catching up with friends, or enjoying a coffee alone while reading a book (there is plenty of intentional lounge chairs or singles seating). Along with typical coffee shop fare is an intriguing selection of daily brews that rotates, one day it might be a Sumatran blend or the next day a Kenyan roast. Their cold brew selection is virtually unparalleled among other coffee shops in the city. The outdoor seating is fantastic, and in the spring the vine overhang of jasmine smells incredible. Coffee is cheap, tons of seating and great atmosphere, I always try and visit at least once during a stay in BR.

One of only a few non-corporate coffee options in Baton Rouge. Nice atmosphere outside. Mostly good coffee drinks too. Not the best espresso, but thats okay unless youre like me, in search of great espresso. I havent found that yet in BR.PS I have found great espresso at new Lighthouse Coffees

Everything was good, not great but pretty good. We are visiting from Houston, Texas, so I figured lets check out some local coffee shops. If I lived here I dont think Id come here everyday other than just to study or something.I guess I was just expecting too much.Coffee mugs were pretty cool though.

Lovely place... Lovely people... Great place to spend time and have a great coffee...

This place.. where do i start? When you walk in you can smell the greatness of the amazing quility of coffee. A place where students come, great minds collide. If your lucky enough sometimes there is good poetry and music there. My fave coffee spot in Baton Rouge by far.

Coffee is great! I really enjoy the availability of tables. There is sometimes a lack of outlets for computers during times of high traffic like exam week, but overall the accommodations are fantastic.The service is great even on a busy day, but you really cant beat the coffee.

One of the best places to have coffee in Baton Rouge. Clark is one of the most amazing person I have met.

One of my favorite coffee places around town! An LSU landmark, students and early birds alike have fallen in love with their selection of coffee, teas, and pastries.. A great selection of coffees at a very reasonable price, they roast their own and they are always super friendly. I love hanging out here and the laid-back atmosphere. I hope they stay around for a long time!

Its been a week and I still feel coffee just like had an hour before, their coffee beans are fine to fill the place with beautiful aromas around, ambiance is out standing one will time travel couple of decades back.Must stop by and try their signature coffee and make your day special

Best coffee shop in Louisiana, perfect in every way. Great atmosphere, cool people, great drinks, huge interior, lots of seating both indoor and outdoor, right on campus... Cant say enough good things.

The barista was very nice. I loved the tea and the lemon poppyseed muffin that I had. If youre looking for a nice quiet coffee shop near LSU, this is the place to go!

Loved this spot since it was recommended to me 6 years ago when I came to LSU. Great study/meeting/hangout spot. And the coffees are tamped right there-so delicious!My only qualm is that they know how much customers love those ham & cheese croissants... I go there just to pick one up at 10am and theyre already gone. Meet the demand a little more 😉

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. I highly recommend the hot chai latte 👍 its always a perfect temperature when it comes out and they do it better then anyone else.

This shop is in a convenient location and the outdoor seating is nice, but the coffee is mediocre at best. The real problem is that the people working here never clean the steam wands of their espresso machine, which should be a health code violation. They recently got a new espresso machine, but its steam wands are already disgusting with old, caked-on layers of dried milk, just like the machine it replaced. Cleaning the machine is common sense and they dont even get that right. Theres no telling what else isnt being cleaned. Stick to iced beverages if you have to go to this shop.

Best coffee in town great atmosphere the staff is always cool

Theyre always good. But theyve always been more of an informal meeting place that happens to have okay coffee than a true coffee shop to me.

Greta coffee in the LSU area. Good place to stop if youre roadtripping on the I-10

I enjoyed the peace and quiet. Got coffee and two glazed donuts. Everything was good.

Love highland coffee. Great, cozy atmosphere. Excellent place to get some work done.

Quiet, relaxing atmosphere. draws a large college student crowd as well as professors and locals. great coffee, teas, and food.

Great college coffee shop always full of students during the semester. Great place to get some work done on your laptop while being fueled by caffeine.Confection selection is pretty good, but could be better. The croissants are meh.

Great Service, Good Coffee & Cool Atmosphere

Plenty of choices for coffee addicts and a nice selection of teas along with biscottis or muffins and cake. They always play classical music and the place is usually packed with college students. Prices are close to Starbucks but at least youre helping a local business. They have rewards program as well. Theres a patio area like a courtyard if youre a smoker.

Love the atmosphere, the coffees great, and pretty cheap. I love this place. I go all the time.

If you dont mind being judged for buying overpriced mediocre coffee that may not be the new hip drink then go for it. Also lots of babes go hereEDIT: I left this comedic review initially, but the owner of this business searched on Facebook to find me and personally message me about this review which I had assumed hopefully nobody would take seriously. So heres my shiny new review!New revised review:Decent.

This is what a coffee shop should be. Locally owned and operated with the owner onsite daily. Roast their own beans. Just off the LSU campus so crowded at times and empty at others. Competent but not pretentious workers making good to great drinks. Great vibe. Reasonable prices. Whats not to like?

Wonderful atmosphere, very nice people, customer service was awesome, very helpful with my many questions and most importantly, delicious fresh coffee! Im getting my coffee beans shipped to me from them from now on. They roast the green coffee beans there, I think everyday! Anyway, Ill be back!! ;)

This is hands-down the best coffee you will drink in Baton Rouge. Its a great place to study, too, and great location, but you keep coming back long after graduating because of the coffee. Heres a great recipe for a Sunday in Baton Rouge all within a couple hundred feet: Mass at Christ the King with Father Andrew, lunch at Chimes with a great obscure beer, and coffee afterwards at Highland Coffees ... then maybe some gelato after that ;)

Always great coffee and fresh. Friendly local workers and the space inside is nice to escape to for a bit to do work study etc.

Chocolate muffin was good!

Great coffee shop. I order their roasted coffee and every pound has been great. They definitely get their coffee from high quality growers.

One of the best cafes in Baton Rouge. I have great memories in this place from when I used to study in LSU. The coffee place is very cozy and great for studying. The coffee tastes great!

This is a nice place to enjoy coffee, study, relax, and enjoy the company of others. The inside area is spacious, with plenty of tables and there are a variety of coffees as well as foods with which to enjoy them. Theres an outdoor court thats fairly large and mostly shaded, which makes it nice with a breeze, along with cooler weather. I enjoyed my visit and will go again perhaps to work as there is complimentary Wi-Fi and well kept areas.

The best coffee shop in Red Stick! Their Coffees of the Day always surprise and delight me--todays is La Minita Costa Rican (Im looking at the artful chalk menu as I write this review)--and the baristas are always friendly and helpful.Here too is a place to visit if youre in the mood for long, interesting conversations in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. We met a couple folks here the other day, just by coincidence, and talked for three hours about 1970s Louisiana festivals, poetry, and art, meanwhile feeling no rush at all from staff or other patrons. Definitely a selling point. Classical and jazz often plays softly over the speakers, not so loudly as to be intrusive, adding to the welcoming vibe.

Great old fashion experience. Coffee was good ice cream was excellent very full flavor taste. Peaceful and quiet.

The only place that you can go out for some exposure regularly and see something that doesnt bore you tooooo much. Again the best choice when you dont have other choice in this extremely boring rural area.

Big slap
