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!

This morning I was so glad to see Java inside the General! I had been up since 3 and coffee never smelled so good! I opted for a cold Frappe- a caramel one to be exact and it was pure heaven. No milky water concoction here! It was think and rich and full of robust coffee flavor! The thick whip cream on top was like icing on the cake and it was just what I needed while waiting on my loved ones procedure. I do not recommend their bakery items. I started out wanting a bagel and cream cheese. They had no way to warm it and it was half frozen... She still tried to sell it to me and I said no. Who wants a frozen bagel?!?! I instead chose a blueberry muffin as it was not in the case... It was still cold as ice but at least it wasn't frozen. It did taste day old and I wished I had not gotten it. The three stars they got were for coffee alone. Nothing else.

Came on a Saturday afternoon, quite packed inside and the parking lot was nearly fully. Glad I tried the cappuccino, but I can definitely say that I don't taste any carrot cake flavor in it. It's still a good coffee, just not in a carrot cake way to me. I'd come back to try something else because I enjoyed the ambiance and the biscuit.

If you haven't discovered Reve Coffee Lab yet, I have one question: are you okay? (Seriously, go…read morecheck them out.) This place was basically my second home during undergrad. I'm pretty sure the baristas remember my order better than I do. Here's what makes Reve worth the visit: - The coffee is legitimately phenomenal. They're all about quality over quantity, using science-based brewing and traditional standards to craft coffee that actually tastes like they care. Because they do. If instant gratification is your thing, Starbucks is down the street. If you want good coffee, you're in the right place. - The baristas actually know their stuff. They'll help you find exactly what you're looking for without making you feel clueless. Fair warning though: this is their coffee shop, and they're respectfully enthusiastic about doing things right. Treat them like the humans they are, and you'll have a genuinely great interaction. - The vibe hits different. It's cozy and intimate inside (compact in the best way), but if the weather's nice, the patio is where it's at--plenty of space, zero stress. Work, study, hang out with friends--it all just works here. If you care about good coffee, good people, and a space that actually feels like somewhere you'd want to be, Reve Coffee Lab is your spot.

I wound up getting a cantina blue (espresso, milk, blueberry layer, and butter pea flower), which tasted pretty good to be honest. The bottom layer had a good blueberry taste to it. There isn't that much seating inside because it's a small interior and lots of students studying. At the back side of the coffee bar, there is some bar seating. With the circular seating at the tree, there is a row of outlets and some by the walls. However, if it's sunny and nice (not raining), I recommend sitting outside for a chat.

The coffee was really good! Service was great as it didn't take long at all to take our order and get us our coffee. There were also tons of sweet treats to pick from. They all looked so delicious, and I sadly decided to pass on them... next time!
