It means so much to have found my new go-to coffee spot when I'm back in BR. The space itself is perfectly warm, clean, and welcoming. Everything is curated to make you feel like you belong. The coffee, tea, and food choices are perfect. I grabbed an espresso shot and cinnamon roll to stay and an iced matcha latte to go. The espresso was nicely dialed in, the notes were present and the barista served it wonderfully. The cinnamon roll was warmed up and freshly iced before being served. The matcha was so good, and a great choice to takeaway as a treat. The staff here really goes beyond to provide excellent service. This is my new go-to coffee spot in Baton Rouge. Thanks Coffee Joy!

They even offer a private room. I love the education of coffee and coffee regions it has on the wall and educational decor. They have your classic latte, along with their own signature drinks. Which are phenomenal. The staff is kind and can help you make recommendations. The coffee is made perfect is not bitter or acidic. Go check them out. Yes it is a college town, but worth it.

I came for the matcha and ended up staying for lunch!…read more I tried the Island Matcha Latte, which was one of their summer flavors. The coconut definitely comes through and gives it a tropical taste without taking away from the matcha. For lunch, I had the tomato basil soup with a side salad and garlic herb cheese bread. The soup was good and probably my favorite part of the meal. The bread was a little too cheesy for me, but overall everything paired well together. The atmosphere really stood out. It's cozy and welcoming and feels like the kind of place you can settle into for a while. I'd definitely come back. Since the Island Matcha was seasonal, I'm already eyeing the strawberry matcha for my next visit.

I came on a Monday night around 5 to meet a friend and get some work done. I didn't know what to order, so I looked at the seasonal menu. Everything looked so good, and it looked truly seasonal. But, I decided to be basic and get the cold brew with cold foam. It was so good! I finished it in less than 10 minutes lol. The barista was really helpful in helping me decide what I want. I didn't wait long for my coffee either. There wasn't a ton of people in here (about three) but the service was fast, tables were clean, and there were tons of places to sit. There was a lot more than coffee here too. They had a whole glass container filled with cake pops! Even gluten free ones, which I appreciate. There were smoothie options too. I will be back forsure!

The atmosphere is inviting, and it's the kind of coffee shop you'll want to come back to. Definitely a great addition to Baton Rouge!

We know now! Folks are friendly and knowledgeable and make wonderful coffees and delicious food. We went twice in a week (long story) and got cookies the first day and breakfast the second. It's the kind of place you'd hang out longer if you had time, although we didn't. Next time. And let me tell you, the cookies we had were the best we'd ever had. Big, soft, loaded with chocolate and macadamia and coconut for a magic combination we've never had anywhere else. It's almost a full meal. We're not local to Denham Springs, but visit occasionally.

I ordered the ham, egg, and Swiss croissant, a chocolate chip cookie, and a latte. My only complaint is that I wish the coffee and sandwich had been served hotter.
