Royal Blend Coffee & Tea — Restaurant in Louisiana

I don't generally leave a review - but I am going to take the time to jot down a few lines here.

I have walked past this establishment more than a handful of times. Never stopped in due to the fact that I am usually in work out attire - or jeans and a tee shirt. As I am not much for the "fancy" coffee shops - mostly for the atmosphere being judgemental.

I decided to give it a shot - the first time I went in there , there was hardly any one in the building ( which is good for me ) the coffee was mediocre at best.

I decided to give this Business another go - just because you never know what someone is going through. Maybe the items sat out to long - maybe the coffee was poured too late after being brewed? Maybe the Barista just wasn't on top of their game.

This second go around is what leads to my one star review.

I am a female - I am a female with shaved hair - not anything to do with my sexual orientation - but to do with my line of work.

The atmosphere was different - I was being discriminated upon - silently of course - by my characteristics - my appearance - my demeanor.

As, I took witness to one of the employees being treated similarly .

I will not waste by time or money supporting that type of subtle - judgemental "superiority".

If you want an establishment that supports veterans / police officers and their spouses - I would kindly suggest going to PJS Coffee or French Press. The quality of the atmosphere is a lot more relaxing and the coffee is made better.

I am also stationed in a different State now and would highly recommend that whomever has made it thus far in my rant - to stop by a Black Rifle Coffee Company and try their...

The cashier was very friendly. However, beyond ordering they did not seem to care about anything. However, they were polite.

The food was not that great. I ordered the Cuban sandwhich and the meat was dry as a bone, clearly very poor quality. The teas that we ordered had very little taste, as if they had been watered down in order to make a profit.

Concerning the drinks there’s really only two sizes. Small and medium. The “large” is quite literally maybe 3cm taller than a medium. Don’t waste your money on a large. Even then the small isn’t that much smaller than a medium. So I suggest preserving a small with no ice.

I also asked the cashier if their potato salad was mayo based or sour cream. She told me it was mayo based. It wasn’t. It was 100% sour cream based. I let the cashier know of her mistake an bd her reason case was,”oh okay I’ll let the staff know.” Very odd. Will not be coming...

I used to go here with my family as a child. I am 29 now. I was hired on and thought it was going to be a good work opportunity. You get a shift meal but the other employees will tell you not to eat the food, because it’s often it is old or spoiled. That was a red flag to me. The coffee and tea are good but I just don’t recommend eating there. Then, I was pulled aside and scolded for having a private conversation about my pay with another employee, which is a legally protected activity. The next day, the owner called me and fired me, blaming it on very trivial things, for example, dumping the hot coffees a little too early at the end of the night. I was given the runaround about who to listen to as I was not properly trained so this felt unfair. I was also told that they couldn’t afford to keep me, even though they had just hired me, and should’ve been aware of what’s in their budget....
