"We moved to New Orleans in 2003 and had never heard of Try-Me—that has been around for 100 years in the same Bywater location—until we moved to the Bywater a couple of years ago. We finally did try them and are delighted by the quality of their coffee, the price point for a real pound, and the fact that they roast beans to-order that are ready for pickup the next day. You can buy just one bag if you want. Plus the people are nice. They're mostly a B2B coffee roaster – not a traditional retail storefront – so you should order and pay online and ring their doorbell after they email to say that your order is ready (soon)."

"OK. Coffee is everywhere. But if you give a damn Try Me Coffee in New Orleans is the best kept secret for the past 100 years. Order a pound of there French Roast and any medium roast mix them together and lock the doors. You are in for one of the best coffee experiences of your life. Not to mention one of the best economical buying experiences of your lifetime. Just do it, you can thank me later. K. Kevin McCarthy"

"I have tried Ruth's blend previously. It is now called Premium Columbian Blend. Absolutely delicious. I order 3 ground bricks each month. I pray they never change the recipe as it my absolute favorite. Smooth and flavorful."

"Its crazy that a 100 year old company kinda flies under the radar. I ordered online and had a bag of freshly roasted beans hand delivered right to my door. I'm already looking to make another order. Glad I found another local roaster"

"The only way to get fresher beans is to roast them yourself. Excellent cup of coffee. Thank you."
