People made a big deal about the Bermuda Triangle back in the day and as time went on, we realized that it was kind of fake thing. But one thing that is more true than the Bermuda triangle is the Baton Rouge Bridge Crossing traffic back up. It's like as inevitable and predictable as anything can be and I am getting to enjoy it firsthand today. Always a traffic accident always a lane closure. Now usually I do the farm market Road north of Baton Rouge to avoid it but today I needed to go this way. The I-10/I-12/110 Triangle maybe? And I knew that my first stop would be French Truck location. I wanted coffee for the rest of my trip as I am traveling with my brewing equipment. I sampled their Festin, and their single source, Kenya, and Ethiopia and I decided to get a bag of the Ethiopia because it has that profound blueberry flavor profile that I like in small doses, thinking it was be a perfect coffee to share with my friends in Florida. And now on to lunch at Mestizo. A wonderful staff and ambiance. Great coffee shop music. I will bet that if I waited long enough, Tame Impala would come on the sound system. Lol. read more

This stretch along Government has been booming over the last decade and places like French Truck Coffee have played a key role in the neighborhood's revitalization efforts. Despite not being a big coffee enthusiast, I have come to appreciate all they've brought to the table as a serious coffee destination. As a venue, it's a beautiful spot with a good amount of outdoor and indoor seating. Their creative use of branding with lots of yellow, distinctive fonts, and merch are displayed throughout the store, becoming a central theme of their decor. Coupled with natural lighting, plenty of seating, good WiFi and a cool display of their brewing process, it's evident they've taken big steps to ensure their venue is one of the least ordinary establishments in the city. They honed their craft in New Orleans and have managed to do the same here. Their New Orleans iced coffee was dark and potent, while their Japanese slow drip aka Oji drip iced coffee was pleasantly delightful. The cafe au lait is classic and a nice rendition compared to the many places that do the same throughout the state. The macchiato, cappuccinos, and americanos also deserve their own mention. Like any quality coffee place, they sell all kinds of different coffee brews by the bag both online and in store. They also sell food as well ranging from breakfast items to salads and sandwiches. Avocado toast seems to be a big hit here, but they have a wide range of open-faced toasts that includes smoked salmon, pimento and prosciutto. I am definitely eyeing their croissant sandwich for future visit. Prices are standard foodflation but I think the coffee and the ambiance will always be the central focus. They have a good amount of people on staff and therefore the waits are never too long. Customer services on point and the bathrooms are very clean. Parking is available in the back and there is limited street parking as well. With locations in Memphis as well as the OG in New Orleans, they should be very proud that they've done well in Baton Rouge. read more

It was a good breakfast place but it was dirty and the staff was just ok! You order at the counter and then they call out your coffee order and bring you your food. When we sat down, the table was sticky and had some crumbs on it. I didn't see anyone wiping down tables, and when the employee brought out our food, she wasn't much help. So, we just cleaned ourselves. The food and drinks were perfect! I got the waffle with Nutella and the biscuit. Perfect size for breakfast. They place was a bright yellow with blue accents inside, so a great place to start your morning. read more

Overall, I love the space and have for years however it does feel like perhaps it's been hit by the inflation bug. The bread that's used on the toast Meals has been changed and definitely feels like a cheaper option. You also can't mix and match the toasts like you used to be able to. I will still come for the coffee but it feels a bit of the magic has been lost. read more

Tried the Oji coffee- very good! What neat process for making cold brew. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great product and cool vibe. Would give five stars if their new app worked by adding my purchases to the rewards. It does not, even after downloading new app and each time I ask a worker, they look down upon me because I only tip $1 for a $3+ coffee. There are other cafes around but this one is pretty chill. read more

Stopped for a light breakfast with my friend. This place is a cute addition to mid city and it's pretty busy every time we come in! We ordered the Goat Cheese Pecan Salad and the Caprese Sandwich with fresh fruit. We also ordered a iced tea and a iced coffee. The salad was legit the best I'd had in a long time! The candied pecans were so good. Definitely add chicken if you get this salad. We both cleaned our plates lol! read more

Delicious! I tend to come here during the weekdays and in the weekends. I ordered the Waffles with fruit. They gave me pineapples, apples, grapes, and strawberries, which were all super fresh. Outside they grow their own produce(which is really in shape) and plants! They have a nice outside area with shade where you can sit. The food was delicious, and came fast. I definitely recommend this place for a cute little breakfast spot! read more

Ambiance is nice. Very modern and relaxed. Arrived around 1p on a Thursday. Some students were around and the courtyard across the street was a nice backdrop. Employee who took our order and brought out our food and drinks was friendly and helpful when I had questions about the menu. She offered suggestions and was kind. Food was pretty good. Definitely recommend the grilled cheese and tomato soup (when they have it). Friend also ordered a turkey sandwich with chips and said it was good too. Coffee drinks were good. A little more milk than we were hoping for in our hot and iced lattes. However, I should have asked for an extra shot of espresso. Seasonal syrup was delicious (Pumpkin Praline) not too sweet. Also ordered an iced oji drip and it was delicious. read more

Always a top notch experience coming here. My first visit was a couple of years ago while on a staycation, and I grabbed a breakfast sandwich and regular coffee. It was a Wednesday morning, and lots of things were happening. It was a great location for me to sit there and read a book for a while, and there were several people who were conducting work meetings - everything from running into a friend holding a financial counseling meeting to an architect with renderings showing her client an amazing draft of her dream workspace. The space was perfect no matter your reason for coming. The staff was friendly and great with their recommendations. My most recent visit was after a long bike ride. My friends and I headed there and I got an iced team - just a basic, no frills drink, and it was brewed to perfection. I was offered all sorts of additions, but stuck with the basics. My friend grabbed a breakfast sandwich which smelled like heaven, and another grabbed a cold brew. Though we were fresh off a ride (yes, we tried to freshen up a little before heading in), we did not feel like we were seated close enough to anyone to feel like our workout would have any effect on them. The parking lot is a bit bumpy, but its ample. On Sunday, you can always snag a spot at the bank nearby. There's also bicycle parking, so with the recent improvements to Government Street with the bike lines, it's a nice little destination for folks in the neighborhood. Quite an enjoyable experience, and I can't wait to head back over there! read more

We are coffee connoisseurs so we were definitely on the hunt for a good coffee shop while in NOLA. And wanting to have the coffee with chicory, we found that this place had a lot of great reviews, so we stopped in on our first day. We stayed in NOLA another 3 days and went here twice everyday after!! We can be picky with coffee, but the staff was very accommodating in helping make sure we got what we wanted. It did not disappoint. We did the Iced New Orleans coffee! It comes with sugar and cream to counter the bitter chichory - so if that's how you take your coffee stick with it. We don't do sugar and I do oat milk so we ordered as we normally order coffee and it was perfect! And the crushed ice they use is what's up!! We couldn't get enough of it, and still talk about it even after being home for weeks now! read more

French Truck Coffee - New Orleans Iced - oat milk, no sweetener :D - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I asked for light ice in my iced chai latte. And the barista was very indifferent to the making of drink. The drink is watered down by the third sip in under the first five minutes of having the drink. It's absolutely horrible and the chai is absolutely weak. In addition, I bought the last satsuma bread, and it was stale. The only interpretation possible is a lack of monitoring their baked goods. I will not be returning. Highland Coffee and Brew Haha do not sell stale baked goods nor put lots of ice in a light ice drink. Consider avoiding. Lots of young people working with no decent supervision probably only exacerbated the atrocious attention to what I got today. read more

If you only order one thing from here, make it the New Orleans style iced coffee. The best way I can describe it is like melted coffee ice cream. It's thick, smooth, a touch sweet, and oh so delicious that it's challenging to not drink super fast (especially on warmer days, which we have a lot here in Baton Rouge). If I lived closer, my bank account would not be happy with me, but my taste buds should would! This place has an excellent vibe. The employees are chill and knowledgeable about their product, which is great. You can order your coffee is all the hipster ways imaginable, so there's definitely something for everyone. Fun fact - if you buy a bag of beans, you get a free coffee! Note that their dedicated parking lot is very small and tricky to navigate with large pot holes. Street parking is available nearby. read more

Strong Drip Coffee! Nice! Additionally a very interesting breakfast selection, the place is really cool inside, nice rich textured interior and also an outdoor area , they spent some nice cash. Nice work. They seem to handle the crowds pretty well in here , Parking was not too bad. I will return read more

Came here on a week day late morning and it was surprisingly packed inside. The service wasn't slow or anything. The cashier was really nice and recommended the NOLA iced coffee. I'm a sweet coffee drinker but my friend was a black coffee drinker and we both really liked it. Of course it isn't as sweet as I usually do it, but I'd def get it again! The buttered biscuit sandwich was so good. She got the croissant one and she liked it too. It wasn't anything too fancy, I liked the eggs and the honey butter biscuit. (Or at least it tasted like that). The strawberries on the side was probably just for presentation but it was a good palate cleanser for after! We ate outside and it was so nice. There's lots of space on their porch for extra people to be seated. Not too noisy on Government and it was a nice breezy morning. Would definitely come again! read more

Great place! Prices are a high, but family enjoyed everything. Waffle sandwich won our vote!!!

Okay first off, employee at the front? Bearded bun guy? SO SWEET. I told him I can't have bread but he let me know they do have gluten free bread! Yeeehaw. Wasn't on the menu and I think it'd be super cool of them to add it in case someone's too shy to ask about Gf bread. Got our food. Prices were so great for the quality of food we got. So fresh. So yummy. Oh! And the coffee!!! Was everything I wanted. So rich and tasty. 10/10 will come back when I'm back in town. read more

I absolutely love the vibe at French Truck Coffee. You get so many different people who come through - students who study here, professionals having lunch meetings, coffee dates, or just people who wanna eat. There's a truck right outside so you can't miss it. Parking is available on the side of the building and behind the building. This is an order at the counter kinda place and don't forget to get a punch card! You get a free drink after 8 punches. Plenty of seating inside AND outside on a mostly covered patio. Free WiFi. 2 clean restrooms. Outlets galore. Tons of natural lighting. Super friendly service. I can't comment on their food, but I'm obsessed with their Oji iced coffee. Definitely recommend checking out French Truck Coffee if you're in the area. It's perfect for studying, having a meal, or meeting up with a small group. read more

So here's the deal: the coffee is excellent, when I get moved here, I will be a semi-regular. The code is clean and crisp with great coffee flavor. BUT they don't make their pastries. Some of them are made locally, and some of them are baked here (think not quite as good as Panera but better than Starbucks). I know because I asked. But the employees are awesome and friendly. The code (as mentioned) is great! Decor and ambience is great for a coffee shop. P.S. I personally want to see more syrup flavors read more

As a coffee lover, I would say you can find better espresso - French Truck only provide one espresso blend and don't have guest beans for it. HOWEVER, French Truck Coffee have a selection of fantastic pour over options and they never really disappoint. This place provided me my first ever "fruit bomb" or "blueberry bomb" pour over I ever had, and thus hooked me into specialty coffee. It's been about 3 years since, and my tastes have evolved, but their pour overs remain worth it. It is also spacious enough for studying in, and many do. I've also tried out their Japanese cold brew and it is refreshing on a hot day. read more

Visiting home and was meeting a friend here who recommend it. As I stood in line a Police officer recommends the waffle sandwich. I read the description and decide its a go.. I mean waffles are my thing and im in Louisiana why not try something new. I had mine with smoked salmon instead of prosciutto (no pork for me). Coffee was excellent, and the waffle sandwich was thumbs up! Crunchy on the edges and soft in the middle the smoked salmon was perfect and they top it with goat cheese Yum! This place is so cute outdoor and indoor seating a perfect place to work as well. Its right across the street from my high school and will be my to-go place for coffee when im in town. They have this cookie there as well that is to die for. Get those early tho because they sell out early! read more

Friggin cashier chic is not the person you need to have behind the counter. I specifically came here for the coffee bean as I am not able to frequent often, residing in ATL. So I had the chance to stop in this am to get coffee and purchase bean. But never again. I'll go to CC's and just get a cup. It was as if I was a hassle to order a latte and then asked about what bean they had. The chic just staired off into the distance as if I could see the bean from 25 feet away. So I asked again noting maybe she didn't understand and mentioned I couldn't see what you had roasted. She finally turns around and say, so what are you looking for? With an attitude like what the fuck... I'm pissed... I just wanted out. Never again man. Don't let an hourly employee ruin your business. Too bad... read more

My second visit to the establishment left me quite pleased. I'm not super crazy about the warehouse vibe--it's not extremely cozy. However, the avocado toast and Iced Dirty Chai (chai latte with a shot of espresso) were delicious. The avocado toast was served topped with delicious pickled veggies. The iced latte had wonderful floral notes which set it apart from the other Dirty Chais I have had at other places. The staff was friendly and I am definitely interested in returning to try some of their other food items and beverages. If I have any other critique it's just that they close at 6 pm. I understand they are open early and that's a long day, but I have after work meetings at coffee shops and this precludes me from being able to go there and potentially become a regular. In any case, it's a good local (well I think originally out of New Orleans) spot that is definitely worth a visit. read more

Coffee has always been good and strong, but I decided to get breakfast here the other day and it definitely makes my list of top breakfast stops in BR! I couldn't choose between the avocado toast and the pimiento toast, so I got the pimiento toast add avocado and it was HEAVENLY. Also they are following COVID guidelines so well that I felt very comfortable being in there. All tables were very spread out. There were tons of plastic barriers for employees and masks are required for service. read more
