My book club met here some nights ago & it's a quaint but lively locally owned coffee shop.There's the amazing smell of ground coffee & sweet homemade pastries. Apparently this place has been around since 1989, right in the edge of LSU campus! There were many students, study groups & other patrons enjoying weather in the outdoor courtyard.Our group sat inside & I ordered a vanilla iced coffee with a slice of rum nut cake. It was warmed, although the cashier offered a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream with it, I declined. When I say it was rich in flavor, you definitely will want more with a coffee or tea. Our book club voted to return, so I can't wait to try more. It was a refreshing experience.

Nice staff but nothing special. Didn't even drink the cappuccino. Was not frothed right and forgot to add the vanilla. Nice courtyard for a mediocre coffee but I need more care and taste.I'll throw in an extra star since they have the desire to make it right. One more chance :)

The service here was super friendly! This was my first time going to this coffee house and I was genuinely surprised! They had so many options for the iced teas from the usual places that I go to so I had no idea what to choose so the staff helped me choose one! I ended up going with the Yerba mate tea which is very good. It's not too strong in terms of taste which I enjoy. The atmosphere is very nice but it is a bit loud if you are trying to study in my opinion. But it is a great place to go if you are catching up with friends or doing light work. They have so many options in terms of drips and other drinks that I am excited to try next time I come! I also really love their outside seating, if it was wasn't so hot I would definitely sit out there! They had many chargers among the walls too which is a good plus.

If you want a local coffee shop, you've found it here at Highland Coffees. Recent orders that I've had are lavender matcha latte, blended matcha, chai tea latte, and dirty vanilla chai tea latte (which means espresso was added). They've all tasted pretty good. They have a lot of different syrup flavors to customize your drinks. And they have pastries and bagels.The staff is very friendly and kind. The shop has a very chill vibe. Lots of locals, regulars, and students come here to chill, study, or chat. There's a lot of indoor and outdoor seating. The shop has a retail area to buy coffee, teas, mugs, and more.This will be a 4 start review instead of 5 because sometimes the service can be a bit slow. And some drinks are made in an area that is hidden from customers. Most coffee shops I've been to are typically completely transparent when making beverages. The shop could use a physical update and more modern look. Full transparency, the first time I went I did not like the iced almond latte or the pastry I ordered. It took me over a year to return but I've been back a few times and enjoyed it.

Coffee was good, cafe was great with plenty of sitting.Definitely will use this place for business and personal occasion.

This establishment is frequently busy, and that's not just because it is within walking distance of LSU. The coffee is always excellent and the staff friendly. I've been coming here for over thirty years and I have never been disappointed.

vibes in here are 12/10. coffee quality is insane and there are SO many roast options. There's even all the teas you could imagine and baked goods that are home made. everything from tea to black coffee to a frozen caramel coffee is so freaking good if you like sweet coffee. This coffee has depth and the employees are always kind.

I Love this Highland Coffee. Baristas are very kind and the coffee is great! Been a staple around LSU

This place is so cute and awesome!! They had a little bit of everything on the menu, super yummy pastries, and super comfy inside and outside seating. The environment was great especially with how nice the staff is.
