Did you know that New Orleans is one of the biggest import cities in the USA for coffee?1
Yep, it’s true. The Big Easy may be known for its iconic beignets, but tourists and NOLA residents have to get beans for that chicory coffee somewhere, right? But if you’re staying at an extended stay Shreveport, don’t stress about trying to drive five hours south for good coffee…you can find a great cup of Joe right here! In this post, we’ll talk about five Shreveport-Bossier City area coffee roasters you can buy from.
Fresh and Delicious Coffee Beans

- Black Bayou Coffee Roasters offers a wide variety of single-origin and other uniquely-flavored beverage options. Choose from coffee with a hint of southern pecan, apple cinnamon strudel or even raspberry truffle. Why not get a bag of Black Bayou’s bourbon barrel-aged coffee while you’re at it? Buy beans online or at the Vitamin Plus store in town.
- Like Black Bayou, the Louisiana Roasting Company sells flavored coffee as well as single-origin beans. Looking for something from Peru, Sumatra or Ethiopia? You’ve come to the right place. You can also buy wholesale beans if desired.
- In addition to coffee, the owner of Lyons’ Pride Coffee Roastery also offers classes! Contact Lyons Pride via their website if you’re interested in a class about brewing, iced coffee or “cupping”, which is the process that professional coffee tasters use. Or, reach out to purchase locally-roasted beans for your morning brew.
- With whimsical names like Belle of the Ball and Hissy Fit Fudge, Southern Belle Coffee serves up the caffeinated boost you need. You can buy their delicious blends online or at many locations throughout the state of Louisiana as well as in shops found in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and more.
- Special Reserve Coffee Roasters is located about 30 miles outside Shreveport, in the town of Elm Grove, LA. Of course, you can order via their site for the easiest solution! Special Reserve even does catering for events for interested customers.
