about.
Light House Coffee exists to serve the world through a Baton Rouge coffee experience.
We provide an inviting space to sip on a cup of specialty coffee or other thoughtfully crafted beverage. Behind the counter, we carefully choose coffees and/or coffee roasters who source their beans as ethnically as possible. In 2023, we also started Light House Coffee Roasters. We are also intentional about hiring and training our staff in order to give opportunities to refugees who have come to our city.
Your purchase will not only gratify the need for caffeine and a break in the day, but it will also gratify the desire to give back. Your coffee will give hope and dignity to the world.
Your Coffee. The Impact.

We partner with local resettlement agencies tending to refugees' needs to provide jobs. We not only provide employment, but also a vibrant work environment where we engage our staff daily. We challenge them to grow and advance in learning English so that they can be as sufficient as possible and excel in American culture.

Apart from day to day teaching English on the job, our goal is to support refugees and help them in any way needed. We have met one-on-one with immigrant employees to improve their English. helped study for the Citizenship test, have given driving lessons, and taught computer and technology skills. Our dream is that our staff can gain experience which will earn them better jobs in the future.
ETHICAL SOURCING

ETHICAL SOURCING
Recently, we started roasting our own coffee, with a commitment to source from ethical importers only and specialty grade quality. We also offer retail coffee from by Topeca Coffee in Tulsa, OK. Through a friend, we were introduced to this direct trade company who is committed to sourcing their coffee as ethically as possible. In fact, some of their beans are 100% direct from seed to cup, every step of the way, making them the only American company of its kind.
