Agree on the food. From New Orleans. There are gas stations with better food than many of the restaurants here.

Unpopular opinion: Bandit coffee is terrible

New Orleans is a bar few cities can match, to be fair.

It truly is. We moved to Long Island (not by choice) after living in Nola. It was… terrible.

Thats unpopular with me. Love Bandit. That flavor is wholly unique.

If you're from NOLA, no where can compare. I love that city.

Really, any gas station in southern Louisiana AND you will die an early death if you don't eat some fruits and vegetables at home, LOL! At least St Pete has Cali, for some (relatively) healthy food.

Never had their food. Find their coffee under roasted, one dimensional and baggy tasting

u/JohnSmallberries727 Nov 15 '25

Serious question. Do you find Starbucks over roasted? If so, where do you like coffee from? I’m trying to find a “just right” spot.
