I am very happy with this cute little local shop! It is way more authentic and unique than any Starbucks could ever hope to be! Please consider making this your community business of choice to support when it comes to beverages and pastries! Our communities can thrive if we support local business. The owner, who is also a barista, is so humble and patient with her job. She deserves nothing but kindness and dedication and her workers the same. A true leader and business owner. I hope everyone continues to support this business locally because it is a lovely little business! read more

Super cute spot with yummy beverages. Conveniently located near the tourism center, we plotted out our day while enjoying pastry and caffeine. Cute photo opportunities. A place to read w/comfy spots. Worth a quick mid afternoon stop, to take a break from touristing. read more

Adorable little coffee shop with lots of offerings, both reading material and things to buy, if you are into fantasy and dragons. We went for the coffee. Lots of space inside for a coffee shop. Both our lattes were served in a reasonable amount of time, considering there was only one barista behind the counter on this Saturday morning. Very few breakfast offerings that weren't primarily sugar - I only saw one - so we skipped breakfast and settled for coffee. Pricing was a bit high for the coffee, but I'm sure so is the rent. We'd return, because in spite of the price, the coffee is good. read more

Great little coffee shop in downtown Natchitoches. Good coffee, fun vibe, quick service. Check it out.

The dragon is a fun and unique touch, but unfortunately the coffee disappoints. My "cold brew" was served with 5-7 melting ice cubes at the top which can only mean one thing... that was hot coffee poured over ice, y'all. It also took an exceptionally long time for an order of one cold brew and one americano, especially considering there was only one other person in the cafe. Pass. read more

Stopped for coffee mid morning before setting out to explore Natchitoches. The cafe is charming but some of the furniture could use some refurbishing - maybe new springs in the couch. There were two young women running the coffee bar. There were four people ahead of us, but it didn't seem like anyone was in a big hurry. One took orders verbally and the other made the drinks. They did not write down orders or names attached to the orders. My friend got a frozen honey iced coffee. She said that it was very good, but it took 15 minutes to make it. I ordered regular coffee with cream and no cal sweetener. Told that they were brewing fresh coffee - no problem. One server started calling out orders, but nobody was picking them up. Guess I am accustomed to other coffee shops that call your name when your drink is ready. Don't know what was happening. When I checked, I was told that my coffee had cream and sugar. When I questioned the sweetener, the lady said that my coffee just had cream and that the sweetener (no calorie) was on a side table. I added the sweetener- oh oh. It was too sweet because she had added sugar. I really think that I got the wrong order. I was afraid to say anything because the two ladies must have been having a bad day and were very tense and testy. I have decided that I am going to pray for them. read more

Absolutely delicious. Four of us went in, and everything we ordered was to perfection. Best scones I have ever eaten and coffee was delish. The owner makes the pastries and served us. Highly recommend. read more

My husband and I stopped here during a rainstorm on a long road trip. I chose the place because it was advertised as dog-friendly. I would never have guessed they would allow my dogs right inside the dining room. I truly appreciated this hospitality, especially since we had to stay a while due to the heavy storm. We got a couple of pastries. I got a tea and my husband a coffee. Everything was good. The decor and atmosphere reminded me of music or story time in elementary school from decades ago in an age prior to electronics, with a vintage spinet, colorful paintings, and a plethora of story books to browse. I've visited many coffee shops but never one like this before. read more

Cute little shop, but we ordered Cafe Au Lait and none of them tasted like they had coffee in them. It was, at best, hot water and foam. All 3 went in the trash. The other 2 ordered cold brews and one was iced coffee and the other was all milk. They punted and mixed them. Maybe another time they will get their act together. read more

Neat little coffee shop. Not much in the way of food, but what they have is good. Great ambiance. Staff weren't overly friendly but they were quick and efficient. read more

Very lovely little coffee and tea place! The aesthetic was created with the bookshelves of old books and library feel. I got an iced tea and it was very good! Not bitter and had a great flavor. Their menu has a wide variety of drinks (wish I would have gotten a picture). The prices were also very reasonable for the different handcrafted drinks. The staff were very friendly and if you are in Natchitoches I would definitely recommend stopping in and getting something to drink! read more

Such a unique little coffee shop! From a piano (we were told we could play), to old novels for sale, to a giant dragon statue. We had a plain latte and a cafe mocha. Both were great! The barista was sweet as well. read more

Locally owned small business, not a corporation. Fun atmosphere, outstanding service- usually Julia is working when we go in, but all employees we've encountered are superb. Wonderful made-from-scratch pastries and cookies. Great hot and cold beverages. Highly recommend!! read more

Story Brew Coffee Cafe - Flat white, matcha latte, cinnamon roll - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Natchitoches, Louisiana

Food and drinks are very good, especially the lemon roll. Taro boba tea was sweeter than I was expecting but that's how I like it so it was ok! Returned the next day and got a iced passionfruit-orange tea with popping boba and the cream cheese bacon buns. The cashier recommended I add passion fruit lobbing boba as the blueberry was out, and it was so good! read more

What a delightful place! We stopped for lattes and a scone in the afternoon and ate it outside while we watched the river go by. The store itself is welcoming and the batista thanked us profusely for stopping in ( it was 2pm on a Thursday, so not many people around). We had the cinnamon white chocolate scone, and it was to die for! Definitely give it a try! read more

Very good coffee, nice spot to grab some coffee after touristing the Natchitoches river front. Decor is unique, even if you don't like coffee stop in to see the decor! Prices are reasonable and the baristas are quick, great news if you're on a schedule. read more

I've tried many different drinks here and they have all been great! Best coffee shop in Natchitoches for sure. The decor is so unique and they always have something cool on the tv. Plenty of games if you want to sit inside but don't have anything to work on. This business is exactly what Natchitoches was missing; so glad it's been successful so far! Excellent service as well read more

Cute atmosphere. Great coffee. Kid friendly. Friendly staff. Adorable decor. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love Story Brew! It's a great place to study for midterms or just stop in for a drink! Every time I go I ask the barista to surprise me and I've never had a drink I didn't like! Its covid friendly and everyone is truly wonderful! It's truly a hidden gem! read more

I was really excited about trying this coffee shop. We went to the river front on Saturday. Front street was blocked off became of the Christmas festivities. We parked and walked to the coffee shop. My wife and I drove 2 hours to have coffee at this location. We went inside and there were about 15 people in the shop. There was no one in line to order. It appeared there were about 5 people waiting for their order. The barista working said she wasn't going to take any orders until she had made the orders she had taken. I realize that the shop may have been understaffed for the day. The virus may have caused an understaffing issue. The barista should have taken the order and we would have gladly waited and enjoyed the bustle of a coffee shop. However the terse greeting we received and the deal with it attitude. It was worth our walk down the river front to get coffee at their competitor. I hope we can enjoy a fine cup here next time and we can update our review. I hope someone reads this and it helps to make this a better place on the river front. read more

Worst coffee shop experience ever. If there was a zero star I would give it. I was in a hurry and just ordered two cups of coffee and espresso. 20 minutes after being in the shop, the two sloth speed baristas told me there was no more coffee but I had already paid and had to leave with half my drink order and didn't have time to get money back. Horrible service. read more
