    Iced caramel latte with oat milk
    Fatima H.

    I loveeee this coffee shop!! I wish there were more locations but when I'm in the br area this is the place!! Food was so delicious and fresh! The people there are so kind and the coffee is worth the drive.

    Speciality latte and matcha lemonade :)
    Christine B.

    Best coffee spot in BR! I always enjoy it. They have a great roast, knowledgeable baristas, and many tasty bites. It's a great place to study or meet up with friends, such as homey vibe, and right off the highway. 12/10!

    When I visit Baton Rouge, this is the only place I go to for a latte and a warm yummy offering. This morning, my latte was perfect and I was finally able to get their delicious grits. I love this place!

    Housemade strawberry pop tart. Better than the real thing.

    This is a charming coffeehouse that feels like you're sitting in a friend's home. I will always order housemade pop tarts whenever and wherever and these were thick, flaky, and terrific. The coffee was great and I can't complain about ABBA playing multiple times during our visit. Just admit you love them, too. Very nice, cozy spot.

    yum yum yum everything is so high quality. back to say i am impressed with the quality of coffee and food

    I absolutely love magpie, but I just went and got their orange chocolate cappuccino and am blown away. I'm not joking when I say I'll sell my soul for this to be added to their regular menu...

    Went for my first time and got the chipotle chicken, blueberry poptart, and a cappuccino. The chipotle chicken was literally the best sandwich I've ever had. Classic cappuccino. The pop tart was really yummy too

    This was my first time visiting and I am in love! The atmosphere inside was so inviting and the employees were very welcoming. The owner was paying a visit with customers during my meal which is such a great sight to see! They have some of the best chai I have ever had and the sandwich and grits were both phenomenal. I will be coming back!!

    Iced coffee to go !

    It's Simple as the name suggests…read more Nothing fancy or elaborate about this place. It's a small restaurant with a small open kitchen and a small dining room where you stand in line to place your order, get a number to put on your table, and servers bring the food to your table when it's ready. So, if you're looking for a large upscale, elegant restaurant with elaborate food presentations, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for a simple, quick and delicious meal, Simple Joe Café is for you. The menu consists of a wide variety of breakfast favorites, but the menu is not intimidating and easy to read and order from. Simple enough. When my family and I arrived, the small dining room was packed with a few open tables and about six other customers in line waiting to place their order. On Saturday and Sunday, you cannot sit at the open tables or hold the tables until you have placed your order and given a tent number. At that point, the servers will help you find a table to accommodate your party. The employees do a very good job of clearing and turning over the tables to make sure everyone is seated and able to enjoy their meal in a timely manner. I am not a fan of breakfast food and normally don't eat breakfast, so I only had coffee while my family enjoyed their meal, so the food quality part of this review is based on what they described as they were eating. They each ordered Joe's Number One Breakfast Combos which came with two eggs, choice of meat and pancakes and they shared an order of hashbrown and a side of grits. The food came out quickly. They stated everything was fresh, prepared and cooked as requested, the food tasted very good and enjoyed every bite. Of course, the coffee was hot, and fresh and the service was fast and friendly. The relaxed ambience and decor add to the unique character of the restaurant. Date of Visit: Saturday 05-16-26 Simple Joe Café | 3057 Government St, Baton Rouge, LA

    This place is awesome…read more I ended up here the other day not because I planned ahead. Instead, I was trying to meet a friend for lunch and he was so late that we couldn't get in where were trying to go. I saw the sign and off we went to Simple Joe Cafe. Simple, it is. Awesome food, it also is. This place is not fancy nor is it meant to be. This is a solidly Americana type menu and ordering at the counter, serving your own coffee, and picking your own table kind of place. AKA - the kind of place I love. I have been here a few times now and only had breakfast. Hint: they serve it all day. The two meat omelet is a great choice and has been my go-to. The other day some friends got burgers and a club sandwich and those looked great too. This will definitely be in the rotation for lunch.

Haylen was our server and did an excellent job, very attentive, and all of the food came out incredibly fast. I ordered the hot sausage biscuit with cheese grits, simple but absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. I also tried several mimosas (lavender, watermelon, and classic), and at just $3 each, you truly can't beat it. The food prices were very affordable too, which is a huge plus in this economy. The space was cozy and charming, almost like dining inside an antique shop. Overall, a great experience, and I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu.

A few weeks ago I was in town for a hockey game and in need of some refreshments pre-game. This was the perfect spot. It was a little rainy so a large portion of the place was unusable. In better weather the courtyard would've been a nice place to sit. There are many non courtyard tables and that's where we found ourselves. Calling yourself a beer garden and not having an extensive list would be foolish. Foolish they aren't here. Their list is extensive. So extensive and frequently changing that it's found via QR code on the table. The food menu is typical bar fare but taste anything but typical. The giant pretzel was delicious and paired well with the beers. Cheese fries are always welcome when having a drink and their version was equally great. Service was friendly and prompt. Check out Mid City Beer Garden. You'll like it.

You can't beat it! A thick juicy burger cooked to perfection with the best crispy fries we've had in Louisiana. We sat at the bar. There was a slight glitch with one of our burgers in that they forgot the cheese and pickles but once we brought it to the server's attention it was corrected immediately. We would give our experience 5 stars except for that mishap and that we had to ask for napkins and cutlery. It was a little chilly the night we visited so we sat at the inside bar but there is a lot of outdoor seating which I'm sure would be nice on a warmer evening.

And holey moley!!! The best finish to our meal!! They also have a great craft beer selection on draft. The only downside to this place is the parking is not great and there are only two bathrooms that are unisex. But heck....I'll be back every time I visit BR!!
