Order: Angelino (Iced coffee w milk, and vanilla), Cappuccino Pros: Free item with purchase of a pound of coffee, syrups are made in house, several cool drink combinations Cons: They don’t roast their own beans and the roast is a little darker than I like

Thoughts: Another coffee stop on our way to New Orleans and it was defiantly one of the more “unique” shops. After looking around we figured out that it was part of a “Bodacious” set of stores (olive oil, restaurant, and coffee shop). They covered a variety of different drinks that were very unique in their combinations of flavors or serving methods. We settled on one of our staples, the cappuccino, and one of their specialty drinks, the Angelino. While we were ordering they told us you get a free drink with each pound of coffee ordered so we immediately decided to pick up two pounds of coffee.

While waiting we started looking into the coffee they use and it turns out that it is not roasted on site/ The drinks came out pretty good but the roast on the beans was darker than I prefer, and led to just a hint of a charred flavor. It was also clear that the barrister’s weren’t super informed on all their different drinks and brewing methods. The Angelino was pretty good and I’d probably recommend sticking with their specialty offerings rather than order the “standard” coffee drinks. I feel like the quality of their bean stands out more in their black coffee and core espresso drinks.

Overall it was a good place to stop and grab coffee but it lacked the artistry and dedication to really be a coffee lovers go to place. I’d definitely get coffee from there if I happened to be nearby but wouldn’t go too far out of my way to go here.
