Love this place. I come here often to get work done. In my line of work I find I can get certain tasks done more quickly when I'm away from my office. CC's is perfect for that.

Better than Starbucks! I wish there were CC's in...

Grew up on community coffee dark roast and Saturday morning would get out of bed, fire up the tv, and watch Saturday cartoons while I brewed pot of community for my parents. By the smell made it down the hall, they would get up for breakfast. Started drinking the coffee as "cafe,au lait with a little milk and then graduated to the black coffee as a teenager. Their giant coffee plant is at the river bridge approaching Baton Rouge and can smell it when crossing the river from the west. Left review at this location as visited more often. Real...
