St John's Coffeehouse — Restaurant in Covington

After only one visit, I may have found my new favorite coffee shop on the Northshore.

To me, a coffee shop should be more than just a place to get a cup of coffee. It should be a cool and relaxed place to hang out, work, or even discuss complex world problems. For years I have a had a place like this in New Orleans (Mojo Coffee), but I didn't think I would ever find one on this side of the lake.

Oddly enough I learned of St. John's while at Mojo in New Orleans. While talking with a friend, he recommend I try St. John's. I am thankful that I listened because after one visit, I know that he was absolutely right.

St. John's is everything I look for in a coffee shop. Located in old Covington, the building is old, but well maintained. This gives it much more character than a purpose built modern shop. The daytime vibe was very subdued and relaxed. Although I just stopped in for a coffee to go, I would have felt at ease sitting there for several hours. Next time I have some time to kill, I will probably do it here.

My iced coffee was very good, and without a doubt, the best I've had on the Northshore.

I really liked St. John's. If you are in the mood for a non-chain place with a great atmosphere and great coffee, give St. John's a try.

Note: It looked like they even sold beer and have concerts. If this is true, I am highly impressed. I always wanted a place that I could get coffee in the morning and...

So glad we stopped here for a bit of refreshment on a weekday afternoon before an evening commitment. Cool street-corner shop, plenty of parking behind the building and on the street. Menu features classics and creative concoctions. We had the Chicory (black) and the Iced Matcha with Strawberry Cold Foam! Right now they have an indulgent spin on an affogato (ice cream, espresso, brownie, whipped cream) that sounded so tempting. We also had a roast beef sandwich out of the case, and it was solid. Chill space, friendly staff, quiet and inviting, great for a quick stop or hours camping out with a laptop, book, or board game. We're from out of town, otherwise this would become a regular...

St. John's is a Covington landmark, and I have been enjoying their coffee, food items, and atmosphere almost daily since the early 2000s. Iced coffee is meant to be made with cold brew, and that is how they do it - you cannot go wrong! I also very much enjoy their espresso -- nothing better than a hot Americano first thing in the morning. Kathryn and Eric really do care about each and every customer that walks through the door. I know Kathryn has many, many years of experience as a barista -- I would be surprised if there is anything coffee-related that she cannot do!! In short, you will love St. John's and everything they...
