Best salad bar around and the grilled cheese variety is crazy good. Always hit them up for seasonal treats like Mardi Gras bars or peach cannolis during the festival. More than 5stars for this Ruston staple.

Let's be honest…read more Ruston isn't exactly the first place that comes to mind when you think of craft coffee, fresh pastries, thoughtful small plates, and palate-forward cocktails. Then there's Common Goods. On a recent trip from New Orleans to North Louisiana, my friend Jacob rounded up a mix of locals and out-of-towners and said, "Trust me." He was right. Where do I even start? I use this word sparingly, but this place is a vibe. I walked in not knowing what to expect and immediately noticed the velvet yellow sectional, the clean design, and a room that was the perfect blend of curated and comfortable. Nothing was working too hard, yet everything felt intentional. Then came the cocktail menu. Whoever put it together understands balance. Sweet. Sour. Spice. Earth. The presentation was superb. I ordered the New Fashioned. Then another. Then...well...let's just say I quit counting after three. The Earl Grey infusion works, it somehow it makes a great Old Fashioned feel lighter, brighter, and completely new. The personal chocolate cake with salted caramel disappeared almost as fast as it hit the table. It was the unanimous favorite. My friends Paul and Racheal loved it so much they got their own, in chocolate and raspberry. The bread service deserves a mention. Fresh bread with balsamic and infused olive oil sounds simple. But there was complexity and finish in both. The bread had crisp edges and a soft middle. By the end of the night I was spellbound by their magic. Common Goods isn't just a great spot for Ruston. It's a place that could hold its own in New Orleans, Nashville, or Austin without anyone batting an eye. This place is a gem. And I'm officially obsessed. If you live in Ruston, this should be a weekly spot.

This place is not a friendly environment for people of color. We came in and there was hardly…read moreanyone there. We were sat at the very back of the restaurant away from everyone. As we watched people come in the same party size of Caucasian race, they were all sat near the front away from us. Our waitress only saw to us when time to get order and bring food. No checking in on us throughout our time. Food is not an issue. My husband and I both hunt and fish thinking this would be something we would enjoy instead we felt awkward the whole time and just wanted to eat and get out of there. We visit the area at least once a year and have never been treated like this until today. We will not be going back which is sad because the place has great potential.

The sandwich was fresh and filling and the chai tea had just the right amount of spice and sweetness. It was a perfect combination to start the morning and I could tell the food and drinks were made with care. The atmosphere at PJ's was also really nice and the staff was friendly and welcoming. They made sure everything came out quickly and checked in with a smile which made the visit even better. Between the good food, the quality drinks, and the great service PJ's Coffee is definitely a spot I would go back to. The location was convenient and near my office.

Set in the Fair Park Church, the cafe is casual enough for anyone. With meals that range from $5-$15, it's the best deal around. The food is delicious and the service is very good. I am impressed by two things- members of the church run the cafe and the proceeds from the cafe fund missions at the church. No one will solicit money or preach, but it is a lovely Christian environment. The Asian salad is great. If you want soup, get there early because it sells out quickly.
