First off, let me say that a friend and I drove from Houston to Minden JUST to visit Brick Street. I have been a customer of Barnyard Coffee for about five years and had wanted to see their new shop in person. I was expecting to like Debbie and Derek’s café. I didn’t expect to love it! From the history of the building, to the coffee, to the food, to the friendly service - we loved it all.
We started out the day with Avocado toast + egg and a drip coffee with honey and splash of almond milk. I knew I’d enjoy the coffee, which I did. But okay, this was honestly the best Avo toast I’ve ever had (and I have it quite often). We headed out to explore Minden - a little gem of a town that was quite unexpected. Then we returned Brick Street to pick up my coffee subscription order and well, why not just stay for lunch?! I had the house make Chicken Salad Sandwich on their house made bread. Again, can honestly say - the best I’ve had.
Before leaving, we took two of Debbie’s own hand made Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast the next with a cup of Barnyard. Again, the best Cinnamon Rolls everrrr.
Minden is lucky this sweet, hardworking family moved to their community and opened this beautiful cafe. So sad I am 3.5 hrs away from enjoying the best food and coffee in a cool space...
Read moreMy girls and I take a mother-daughter trip each year. We have ordered coffee from the owners of Brick Street for years, and we decided to go to Minden where they’re based, stay in the Spanish Villas, and enjoy small town life for a few days. We loved the transformation from the old hardware store to the gorgeous, unique, timeless coffee house it is today! The staff at Brick Street was so sweet & accommodating! I messaged ahead of time, due to my gluten free dietary needs and Debbie not only made blueberry scones for us, she also picked up a loaf of GF bread in Shreveport to make us an Avocado Toast Breakfast that was amazing!! This is the ONLY coffee I can drink that doesn’t hurt my stomach or make me feel jittery. Derek is a genius at the roaster. Debbie only uses flavorings in the roasting that don’t have propylene glycol, which is in most all flavored coffees you’ll find in the market. I drove over four hours to visit Brick Street! If you’re closer than that, what’s stopping you? Also, consider ordering coffee from their online brand Barnyard Coffee to your home! Love Debbie and her family! They’re...
Read moreBrick Street Coffee (and Barnyard Coffee Roasters) is one of those rare local gems that just feels right the moment you walk through the door. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and full of character — from the inviting aroma of freshly roasted beans to the rustic charm that makes you want to sit and stay awhile.
The staff here truly set this place apart. They’re kind, genuine, and always greet you with a smile that instantly makes your day a little brighter — and the caffeine doesn’t hurt either! You can tell they love what they do, and that energy carries through every cup they serve.
Their coffee is exceptional — rich, smooth, and roasted in-house with care by Barnyard Coffee Roasters. Whether you’re stopping in for your morning brew, hanging out with friends, or grabbing a bag of beans to take home, you’re getting something crafted with pride.
