Because commuting back over that bridge gives you heart attack symptoms.


Smelling toast is a symptom of a stroke, not a heart attack.

Pass in front of the Exxon plant and smell the fuel of our economy being made.

It's not toast or Coffee. It's the heated brakes from 18 wheelers who slow down on the decline.

You can actually drive right through the plant and they have fresh coffee on tap, free of charge. I roll through there every morning and fill my 128 oz mug to the brim.


That's not a mug. It's a bucket.

Assuming you are referring to the CCC, isn't the west side of the bridge in New Orleans with the riverwalk?

ETA - I see you meant BR, not NOLA.

Half is the chicory of the Community Coffee plant. The other half is the wood they soak to make charcoal in the big round tank thing by the bridge. I think it's strongest in the mornings around 5:30

When I was a kid that smell was my cue to wake up and look out the window. Get a car with a cabin air filter.

Always thought it smelled like a crunchwrap from taco bell honestly.

Yup. You just loop around under the interstate and drive right on through. Follow the red signs and the yellow lines. It's super easy and super awesome. You just drive up (usually not much of a line at all. I don't think many non-employees know about it.)
Lean out the window and pull the lever and fill your cup, then drive away. Only thing is that they only have dark roast. And if you want sugar or cream or anything you'll have to bring your own.

There's a donation bucket there if you want to leave something. Pretty sure it goes to whatever people collect the proof-of-purchases for.

It's unmanned but I've always had great, fresh tasting coffee from there. I'm sure there is an automated brewer or something in the little building.
