A&j's Coffee Bean Cafe & Catering

As one of the most low-key businesses in all Baton Rouge, A&J Cafe also happens to be among the best and very much embodies the mom and pop vibe. Located inside the Baton Rouge's Orthopedic Clinic, they are the lifeline at least food wise for so many important members of our medical community.The long time owners, John and Anna are fantastic people. Super friendly and engaging, they really are some of the nicest people I've ever met. They take pride in their service and understand what it takes to make a customer happy.The food in which they serve inside this smallest cafeteria type setup is pretty simple. It's a mix of cafe food mixed with Cajun flair, so think gumbo, jambalaya, muffalettas, and simple things like fruit, breakfast foods. I also appreciate that as Vietnamese folks but they've incorporated this into their menu. They have all kinds of various total suits for on Fridays they make pho. How glorious.Another thing that should be noted is that they actually were able to snag a lot of king cake. Not just your average king cake but from one of the best in all of Louisiana and perhaps the south: Dong Phuong (#1). They were such a lifesaver during the pandemic and allowed folks to order multiple boxes as long as they came for them.______________ (#1) Dong Phuong: https://www.yelp.com/biz/dong-phuong-new-orleans-3

OMG The Food here Is Immaculate!!! I came here because they catered food to my job!! I work in the OR, these amazing ppl know how to season n cook food to perfection, coming from a Creole Woman that Loves To Cook!!!!

Went here for the first time to try and capture the elusive dohng phong king cake ! Made it there early on a Monday and guess what? They were all gone!! Was told I could place an order for one on Friday . Placed the order ,then arrived early only to be told they didn't know when they would arrive! Was told to call back after 1 pm , which was an ordeal in its own right, when I finally got someone I told them I had placed an order for two cinnamon king cakes only to be told the cinnamon was sold out !! What's the use of placing an order if you still won't receive your product? Anyway the staff was great , the muffins were great! But I am over trying to place an order for a king cake here as the order process is a joke to pacify customers .

I work right down the street and come by for lunch sometimes. The workers are friendly and they have a big selection of food. I always come for the gumbo! Prices are good to and you get a lot of food!

I just HAD to review this business. I have never been here before, but my office has been catered by them literally dozens of times now. The food has always been superb. We had spaghetti and meatballs today, and the sauce was delicious, meatballs were huge as I love them, and the angel hair pasta was cooked just right. I've tried pork chops, chicken dishes, plenty of desserts like the triple chocolate dessert today and never been disappointed. My coworkers would agree that we would be just fine if Coffee Bean were the only caterers who ever came to our office. I hope to one day check out their location inside Surgical Specialty Center as I've heard they do a great lunch, but until then, I'll keep getting excited every time they bring food to us. :-)

This place is always on point. The food is plentiful, fresh, and good. The service is great. Whenever I am in Baton Rouge this is the first place that comes to mind and they have a little bit of everything.

I love the food, every day there's a different entree, breakfast is great, fruit bowls are tasty not always sweet but tasty.. People are nice the atmosphere is always pleasant. It's hard to go wrong at A&J give it a try if you haven't you won't be disappointed!!!

Everything is really tasty. Great lunch spot, worth stopping even if you're not in the building for an appointment.

Friendly owners, good prices and portion sizes. I've only had breakfast (omelet, biscuit sandwich) a few times but it was good. The grits were just ok though.

I ordered a hamburger and fries. I asked whether the burger patty was thin or thick. What I should've asked was whether the burger was previously cooked and going to be re-heated in the microwave and handed to me in less than 2 mins. along w/ the fries. Pretty gross for over $12.00. Pretty gross if it had been free.One star is one too many for this place.Also, since I had trouble choking down the nuked? $12 hamburger, I went back to the counter for a $4 dessert. Since I was paying with my same credit card, this place wanted to up-charge me because my dessert wasn't $5. Sorry, not happening.I pay my credit card interest. You pay whatever the credit card companies charge you - it is YOUR cost of doing business, not my cost.
