Cherrybomb Coffee | Baton Rouge — Restaurant in Baton Rouge

If you’re anywhere near the LSU campus and you don’t stop by CherryBomb Coffee, you’re doing college (and caffeine) all wrong. This place is the real deal — not only is the coffee top-tier (we’re talking rich, bold, smooth, and strong enough to resurrect your 8 a.m. class motivation), but it’s served out of the coolest Airstream you’ve ever seen. Seriously, it’s like hipster heaven met a rocket ship and decided to caffeinate the masses. The Airstream alone deserves its own fan club — sleek, shiny, and giving off retro vibes that scream, “Yes, I’m cooler than your average café.” It’s like your cup of coffee rolled up in a vintage silver bullet and parked itself right near LSU just to make your day better.The staff? Super friendly. The vibe? Laid-back but energized — kind of like how you feel after your first cup. Whether you’re cramming for exams, pretending to study, or just need to escape campus chaos for a delicious pick-me-up, CherryBomb delivers every time.Bottom line: great coffee, great people, great location. And did I mention the Airstream? Because honestly, it’s worth the visit just to see that beauty gleaming in the sun like the espresso-fueled spaceship it is. 10/10 would rocket-fuel my day...

6/28/25 UPDATE:

I’ve been here 4 times now, and their coffee is really good, but I went today, and their was a long line (7-8 people) and only one person working, so it was moving slow, which makes sense. BUT after waiting 7ish minutes to order, they ran out of ice. In the middle of summer. So we all had to leave after sitting there waiting.

Hopefully this is just a one off, but I would hope there would be more planning to have enough ice in 93F temperatures, as well as enough people working so there isn’t a long wait and long line, so I’ve removed a star.

Original Review:

First time going and really enjoyed the whole experience! Great drink and set up!

Got 2 of the summer specials: banana pudding matcha and pistachio latte subbing oat milk and both were delicious! Decent prices as well!

I saw some pastries as well, but no pricing or mention anywhere, so they have...

Cherry Bomb is the kind of coffee shop that makes you wonder why you ever wasted time anywhere else. Great drinks, great atmosphere, and zero weird coffee snob energy. Just good stuff, made by good people.

The owners are the real MVPs—super friendly, genuinely welcoming, and clearly put a lot of heart into the place. You can tell it’s not just a business to them; they’ve built something that feels like a little neighborhood gem.

Support local. Support cool people. Drink better coffee. It’s...
