Social Coffee

On a day of exploration in Baton Rouge, we made a late in the day coffee stop at Social Coffee, and boy does it live up to its name! The owner was manning the shop, and he was the warmest and friendliest barista I have met in my four months of coffee shops across 5 states! He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the coffee roasts that he sources and recommended the Ethiopian Anaerobic espresso for my cappuccino. It was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!!! It was robust and fruity and just perfect ! My only regret was ordering to go and not in a regular cup. In short, this was the best overall coffee experience in the south!

What a find! Was downtown on Memorial Day (photos of the State Capital & flags), when I did a quick search and found this shop.
Owner was only one working because he let the rest of his staff off for the holiday (already like this guy)!
Enjoyed my coffee and the coffee shop atmosphere. When I got ready to leave the owner called me by name to tell me by and have a nice day!
THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME!
… and I’ve been to coffee shops all over the North America & Europe.
*needed to tip this guy more next time!

Think this is a great find in Baton Rouge. A comfortable and friendly place to enjoy coffee and other drinks. The barista prepared drinks that were not on the menu to meet the needs of my party, and made sure everyone was well hydrated with water on tap.

If you're not going to Social you're doing it wrong. Every time I come here I am greeted with warmth and kindness from the staff. The chai is the best in town, and their new food menu is delicious.

Hands down the best coffee in Baton Rouge! Love trying the guest espresso. They’re always cycling new beans from all over the country! The owner Dillon is the best! And I love all the baristas :-)

Insanely expensive for a basic small coffee, which is their only size. Sure, the folks are nice. But something that should cost 1$ at most. Can't imagine going back. Matherns is right there and half the price for larger better tasting coffee. This place is quite a rip-off, not sure how they stay in business.

Very good coffee served in this little shop in the city center. Few sweet options available. Staff is nice.

Simple but fantastic menu, downtown has needed this place for years! I never considered myself to be a coffee person, and usually I opt for a sweet milkshake like coffee. But the coffee here is so good that I don't need all the extras! The staff was very friendly and helpful and my pastry was delicious. Now I'm sad I don't work downtown anymore

The cappuccino was the BEST cup of coffee I’ve ever had and we have had a lot of coffee from many different places.The food is also great and the staff is friendly. They will bring your order to your table (maybe only if they aren’t busy). I highly recommend this place. My only complaint is that they aren’t open on Sunday.

I have never in my life had coffee as spectacular is this. I travel all around the country for work, and one of my favorite parts is the amazing specialty coffee I come across. As soon as I walked into Social Coffee, I knew something was different. The baristas were engaged as soon as I walked into the building. They entertained every question I asked and also asked questions in return. I only had enough time to sit for 15 minutes or so, but in those 15 minutes, I had the best cup of coffee I’d ever had and also the most wonderful conversation with two people who truly wanted to engage in conversation with me and wanted to hear what I had to say. There are so many other shops in Baton Rouge that have more reviews and see more traffic. I tried them all and even stayed longer at most of the other shops, but Social Coffee wanted to know who I was and also served me a cup of coffee that was engineered with the same care that they gave me as a person. I am blown away and cannot wait to be back
