Coffee on the Red — Restaurant in Bossier City

Update: Not consistently good.

I recently moved to Shreveport from the UK. All my family is from Ruston and the rest from NOLA. I have been trying coffeeshops all over. Most people recommended Rhino, but I was not impressed. On a whim I passed Coffee on the Red and decided I was going to try it on the way back towards my house. It is the best coffee I've found so far in Shreveport or Ruston.

And he obviously doesn't need to...

We both experienced something that can only be described as hot sweet milk! My wife could not taste the Chai Tea at all, & I couldn’t taste the coffee or espresso that was supposed to be in my drink. Maybe it was just a bad morning, not sure, but what I do know is that there is ALLOT of room for...
