Community Coffee House
CC's Coffee House was founded by the company in 1995 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The first location, at the corner of Jefferson and Magazine in Uptown New Orleans, is still in operation. They currently have locations in Baton Rouge, the New Orleans metropolitan area, and Lafayette all in Louisiana. All stores offer their customers free Wi-Fi access and some stores have drive thru locations. The New Orleans locations along Magazine Street and in other commercial areas were quick to re-open following Katrina, returning to operation well before many other coffeehouses, while CC's locations in more residential areas took slightly longer to re-open. Most CC's Coffee Houses offer a variety of pastries, such as bagels and cookies. At least one or two types of croissants, tea breads, and coffee cakes are typically available, as well as a rotating selection of cakes, brownies, and other items.
CC's main competitors include Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, and other local coffee houses. In 2008, Starbucks closed 9 of their stores in Baton Rouge, LA, as well as 4 other stores throughout the state. The Baton Rouge store closings are largely accredited to the expansion and success of CC's Coffee Houses in the area.
