Crema's Take
“Current Crop Roasting Shop transforms a simple coffee visit into an interactive experience where you can actually learn to roast your own beans in just 10 minutes, thanks to the welcoming expertise of owners like Catherine and Rhea. Beyond exceptional specialty drinks and thoughtfully sourced green beans from around the world, they offer immersive classes in coffee roasting and cupping that deepen your appreciation for what's in your cup. This isn't just a place to grab a pour over or espresso—it's where coffee curiosity becomes hands-on discovery.”

Catherine and Rhea were very gracious and welcoming! We took the roasting class with Rhea and had a great time- it was very informative, engaging and fun! Definitely a highlight of our trip!!
Brilliant business model. We were drawn in by the sign out front claiming we could learn to roast coffee in 10 minutes. They have fresh, green beans from all over and washed in a multitude of methods that you can choose from. Once you pick your beans, you use a countertop roasting device to roast them to your preferred level. Rhea and Josh were so attentive and friendly, and the shop dogs Fletcher and Tucker were affectionate. Highly recommend.
We took the coffee cupping class which is a class that explains coffee and various varieties and types. This was a fascinating class and this shop is not like any I have been to. You purchase unroasted coffee and can roast at home or right in the shop. I am not a coffee drinker and I found this shop and class absolutely fascinating. The rest of my group are coffee drinkers and also learned a lot more about coffee. I’m sure my explanations are not doing justice to this shop but highly recommend visiting if not for a class to explore the shop.
A true GEM 💎 if you’re into specialty coffee. Love their variety of coffees and especially staff’s knowledge. Also even better is that they offer classes that really get you to the next level!! Would come to NOLA just for this. So glad to have found this place and taken classes here with Catherine. Wishing them all the best ❤️
My partner and I really enjoyed the roasting class here! A fun and different activity for the weekend. We also got to take the roasted coffee beans home. We can see ourselves becoming regulars here! I personally love seeing people turning good ideas into good businesses! Definitely worth checking out
