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.

Royal Roastery is a bit of a mixed bag. They've got some savory nut options- I tried the barbecue…read morecashews. They were fine. 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.

Coast Roast has the best iced coffee I have ever had in 63 years!…read more It's not a bargain, at over $6 for a large 24 oz one. But, it is the only iced coffee that I dream about! Seriously. I get one every time I am in the neighborhood. Lots of on-street parking and the service and ambiance of St. Roch Market is phenomenal. Highly recommended.

The breadwinner (or maybe brew-winner, idk if I'm feeling it) for best cold brew coffee I have ever…read morehad, and probably will ever have! Still can't quite believe it, just how truly good this coffee was. Don't look to get anything else besides the vanilla cream cold brew, or you will miss out on the experience of a lifetime. Seriously, even if you aren't a sweet fan (I don't like super sweet coffee), this cold brew is so exquisite that it is sweet, yes, but in the way where it perfectly compliments your tastebuds with some sugary vanilla without going over the top, still letting the espresso take the spotlight. Even just the presentation of the dark roast coffee with the cream slowly dispersing into the deeps is so mesmerizing (see video/ pics if not understanding). One person in my party in specific had been to Coast Roast dozens of times before just to have this cold brew. He said anytime they return to New Orlaeans this is a must stop and they will bc one at least once a day every day they are in town. I didn't think there was any chance a coffee could stand up to hype like that. Also, I don't typically like cold brew anyways, so I was pretty unconvinced. Let me be the first to admit I was WRONG. I took one sip and was transported to a land of soft, billowing clouds, pink skies and coffee waterfalls (cold brew, specifically). Wow. I have dreamt of this coffee at least every week since I have been and the daydreams will continue until I can come back. It looks like I'll be stopping there every chance I get too, from now on.

It was the perfect drink on a cold rainy Saturday afternoon. Since I was in the city for vacation I wanted to take home a bag of coffee beans for my family. I didn't know I was in for a fun experience. With the help of an employee I roasted the beans to my liking. If you are a tourist just like me this is a unique experience/gift to bring home.

They were really nice :) Ambiance: I thought it was really cool to see different roasting levels, how they make their blends, and it looked cozy inside!

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!

The service was always great and super timely, even during the Mardi Gras rush. The staff kept things moving while still being friendly, which I really appreciated. The shop itself has such a cool aesthetic--clean, inviting, and just a vibe. It's the kind of place you actually want to hang out in. I love that they have their coffee available for purchase, plus really cute merch (still regret not grabbing a shirt). It feels like a brand you want to support. We got large Mardi Gras lattes and they literally tasted like king cake in a cup. Sweet, festive, and perfect. I loved every bit of it--and honestly, I went back multiple times during Mardi Gras. It was the only thing that got me going in the mornings. 10/10, will absolutely keep coming back.
