Look, i'm not real big on leaving reviews for coffee shops. A lot of them are just parts of chains,…read moreand they very inequality from location to location. Well, in the case of this particular coffee shop on Robert Street in Slidell, they were so good it's worthy of mentioning. It's Sirincci Coffee Company, a small chain of boutique coffee shops. My gf and I stopped in randomly while doing an errand on the Northshore (we live in New Orleans about 35 miles away) with no experience or expectations. Even if I had had expectations, they would've blown them away anyway. First, I guess I'll talk about the drinks. Sirincci offers a seasonal specials menu, and it's criminally good. Terrible and guilt inducing in all the best ways. We both ordered from the Fall menu. She had the Cool Front Latte-caramel and cinnamon latte topped with brown butter toffee cheesecake cold foam (yes, you read that right). I had the Pecan Pie Chai-praline chai with rich brown butter toffee. My gf is gluten intolerant, and the barista verified the cheesecake topping was gluten free...whew. Both drinks were prepared quickly but tasted like they had spent hours on them. I rarely use the term "mouthwatering" for beverages, but these qualified. I included a pic of their current fall menu to drool over. Beyond the perfect drinks, the service matched the quality. Our barista taking our order was so patient as we peppered her with questions about their menu, and made great recommendations. The atmosphere in the cafe is super homey and even family friendly. There were a variety of board games and kid friendly seating. I watched a happy little girl getting mercilessly schooled in UNO (reverse, reverse, reverse, take four!), and a father and son playing Battleship. I'm not big on kid-friendly places, but the atmosphere managed to stay quiet and comfortable. We sipped (gulped) our drinks while sitting in a comfy loveseat taking in the place. There are some truly unique Knick Knacks displayed and for sale, including hilarious stickers available at the counter (one pictured). But I've saved the best for last! For those of you not familiar with Sirincci, they have an "Angel program" where you can pre purchase drinks to gift future customers! There is a display on the wall with tags clipped to it with the names of various drinks people have gifted, available to take and redeem by ANYBODY! I purchased a few to gift, grateful for the tangible opportunity to show gratitude for my security. That might be the coolest thing I've ever seen at a commercial business. So yes, if you find yourself in Slidell, treat yourself to the most sinful drink you can get without alcohol and a mini-getaway feel.
