We've never been anything less than fully satisfied and inspired. But, what spurred me to write this review was the "double doozie" I received and consumed yesterday. I feel like I have the adequate experience on this subject to say that the specimen I received last night unseated all previous samplings from other establishments. The moment it touched my lips, I worried that the cookie was too hard but to my delight the crunch was only a thin layer that quickly gave way to delicious goodness that was generously loaded with the finest chocolate hunks. But all this gloriousness soon became a footnote to the silky smooth icing sandwiched between the two chocolate chip cookies. The icing is unrivaled among the many attempts at a double doozie. Free of the granular sugary texture that only causes guilt and never enhances the experience, this collaboration of cookie and icing is not to be shared. They are large enough for two but so tasty you better forget about any ideas of sharing. There is only heart ache and confrontation to be had down that road. A certain chain cookie company who coined the term and will here remain unnamed in this review was only hinting at what could be when they began to offer their "double doozie." All these years I just did not realize what was possible. Satisfied all these years with the mere elementary offering of so many bakeries. I almost regret having experienced the refined simplicity of the Uptown Downtown "Double Doozie." From this point forward, this guilty pleasure can only be fulfilled here. My heart belongs to you Uptown Downtown. Until we meet again.

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.

They don't know how to serve a big crowd. They brought our plate out one at a time after we waited two hours, and of course the food was cold. I think it was about 20 of us about seven people didn't even get their food So if you from California, this is not a restaurant to go to especially if it's a lot of you maybe they used to serving 2 to 3 people at a time so if you're from California don't go like I said specially if it's a lot of you services bad and like I said they're rude
