I was wondering around the WB with Re and she suggested we go "to the candy store." I was confused…read morebecause it was already after 8pm and what would be open? Royal Roastery that's who! This unassuming spot in a strip mall was gorgeous inside. And it serves coffee, pastries, ice cream plus y'know candy. AND they roast their own nuts, spices and I guess coffee beans. There were definitely folks hanging out and enjoying a Turkish style coffee... I guess either the caffeine doesn't hit them the way it does me or they had no plans to sleep. The candy isn't labeled 100% correctly but you kind of know that gummy worms are not gummy strawberries. I tried an assortment bag of gummies and some of chocolates and the price was by the pound. Re got some freshly roasted unsalted cashews and they were delicious! Parking is easy in the strip mall lot. And as you step in you definitely leave Louisiana and step into another country.

They also carry some gummy and chocolate varieties, some spices, some boxed coffee, some Middle Eastern pastries. Only some things were labeled with either what it was or the price of it, so that was a little disorienting. I was surprised to find a cafe and gelato bar inside. The gelato flavors were incredible. I settled on popcorn caramel and baklava in a waffle bowl. An employee said that everything was made in-house. The price was standard considering that all was made there. The service was weird. I kept getting served after people who'd gotten there after me. My ice cream scoops were significantly smaller than my boyfriend's. Returning isn't high on my list of priorities, but I'm glad I tried them.

The service was fast and friendly. The inside still has a chill aesthetic to it like before. I got a large Iced Tiramisu Latte (with tax = $8.51). The tiramisu foam the shop makes is made from scratch so it's all fresh! The coffee tasted really good, but the caffeine definitely hits you instantly since it's a cold brew mixed with that tiramisu foam. Overall, still a recommended coffee place in the West Bank area!

This spot has some very nice ambiance and it looks like the service is good as well. The main problem I've had with this spot is that every time I've attempted to eat something here the joint is jam packed with a very slow moving line so I've always given up and just gone back to the Eastbank. So I've only visited here during the evening times so perhaps the daylight hours are easier to access here?

This PJ's Coffee is one of the only coffee shops in Algiers so it's popular by default. We came…read morehere two days in a row for a jolt of caffeine to start the morning. It's a small shop located in a strip mall off General De Gaulle. Here are a few quick pros and cons: PROS --They open at 6AM during the week and only an hour later on the weekend. --There's a drive thru--perfect for people who can't will themselves to get out their car before their first dose of coffee. The convenience is certainly a plus. --The pastry case features everything you would expect from a coffee shop including muffins, croissants, cinnamon rolls, donuts and granola bars. CONS --Expect long wait times and limited seating depending on the time of day. Like I said, it's the only option for miles. At times, the entrance is a revolving door of customers streaming in and out. The parking lot and drive thru were busy on both days we visited. I don't know what it'll take to get another coffee shop in the area but until then PJ's coffee is a dependable option.

Just what I was looking for when ordering a hot cup of coffee in a coffee shop. The very basic is…read morethat it should come hot and they should have at least a decent regular, non-flavored cup of coffee, this place met those basics, it pass my litmus test, I can recommend this establishment for regular coffee drinkers like me. Just came back from Hawaii and tried several specialty coffee shops there, 2 out of 3 failed the basics and one even asked me if I wanted my room temperature coffee re-heated, Kilauea Coffee in Hilo Hawaii was a big fail.

It was a little later in the day and it was a hot one, so I opted for an ice water instead of coffee or tea, but my friend who lives nearby comes often and says they always make her drinks perfectly.

The drink was $7.14 which isn't too bad, but the taste is great. It's very refreshing and not heavy at all. I came on a Sunday morning and the inside was a little busy, so I decided to sit outside. They have maybe 4 tables outside with music playing so it was quite nice. One more thing -- i really like the cup lid. Sometimes you'll go to a place and the lid makes it really hard to get an even stir/shake but with their lid it's so easy as you just plug the top with a finger and shake. Small detail but it's something I appreciated. The matcha coconut water is a must try!

I ordered the Cubano Bun Mi with shredded pork, French ham and cheese on a bun mi with house green salad. The sandwich was basic, as in nothing made it memorable. I was hoping for an interesting twist of some sorts, but at $13 the sandwich was so lacking in imagination. The bun was a large burger bun, not a crispy-crusted baguette as expected. (This sandwich would have been decent at a BBQ joint if served with fries and BBQ sauce and aptly labeled a Chopped Brisket Sammich.) The house salad featured wilted greens as well as clearly old cucumbers. I left the salad uneaten on the plate and brought the poor quality of the greens to the attention of the waiter when he cleared the table and went on to share with him that the greens were clearly old and they should have noticed. He apologized. I did have the "green cookie" and it was indeed flavorful and quite sweet but not worth $4. All in all I'd probably not visit here again with so many other interesting and better priced joints to experience in NOLA.

Cherry Coffee Roasters offers an upscale real coffee shop experience in a quiet part of Gretna…read more They take coffee seriously here, so expect a stronger cold brew with lots of tasting notes. The design of the shop has fresh tile and hardwood flooring, paired with a reclaimed wood ceiling and multiple styles of seating. It feels very Pacific Northwest - which is good in my book. The seating is definitively Wayfair - so not very comfortable. I am hoping they can incorporate a cozy couch somewhere in the space: I found there wasn't a great spot to feel truly settled in. The baked goods looked great, and they offered at least one gluten-free option. I had a ham and cheese croissant and was surprised that it was very crispy and both the ham and cheese were also good quality. Cherry Roasters definitely cares about their craft and it shows!
