Have never had it, but if it is like the cuban coffee they serve here then lots of sugar and cream is used to cover up the flavor of the bitter wrank beans.

Lithium was a go-to radio station for me, as well.

Glad she is experimenting with her own beans, can't wait until she is on the level that they are readily available to the public

Get grinds from Hey! Cafe, but love a good cup from FT and Cherry as well. All three pretty close to home. Coffee game in NO is damn strong

In NOLA to an extent but for people that could barely afford coffee back then it was used. In France for a time it was legit.


Am I misleading myself when I put it in my iced coffee thingy?

nahh you good.

If I had not started this thread this would have been fun to start due to the name but I'll keep it in here:

This is good for me since FT is a pain in the arse to get to.

"Petite Rouge Coffee Is Opening Its First Permanent Cafe This September"

"After taking its coffee and tea to the streets for three years in a vintage red 1970s Citroen H-Van, Petite Rouge is settling down in a new home just off Claiborne near Tulane’s stadium with plans to open in early September, reports Todd Price.

The area is already home to Elio’s Wine, Felipe’s Taqueria, and the newly opened Uptown home of Cuban favorite El Libre.

Petite Rouge comes from bartender Julie Anne Pieri and film industry worker Kurt Schmiederer. According to the business’ website, the pair started selling coffee out of the cute automobile after “Kurt could not find a decent cup of coffee on a Louisiana filmset to save his life.”

Petite Rouge isn’t retiring the Citroen though. It’ll still roam the streets along with its new baby blue brother.

Along with coffee beans from New Orleans roaster French Truck Coffee, milk from Mississippi’s Mauthe’s Progress Milk Barn, and sugar from Youngsville’s Three Brother’s Farm, the new cafe will expand its menu to include food."

Cool. My wife likes adding a cup of chicory half way through the Toddy process. I think it changes the flavor some, but I could have it either way.

Brah, one of the few places you can name drop me and you won't end up getting thrown out.

Julie is good people and a big time foodie as well.

Don't know her but plan to go there since it's right next to UA. I'll drop your name and see if I get my arse kicked.

I've done the math for French Truck and I think it's well worth it.

$12 a bag but with the punch card the 8th one is free. So that's 12.5% off when you buy 8. Plus you get a free cup of coffee with every bag. By my estimation assuming you were going to buy a cup of coffee anyways the price comes out to closer to $8-9 per 12oz bag. Which is the non-sale price of Community these days.

Congregation coffee in Algiers is better, IMO.
