Inside The St. Francisville Inn: An 1880 Victorian Turned Boutique Hotel for a Quiet Getaway

Some weekends call for a porch, a pool and nowhere to be. North of Baton Rouge, The St. Francisville Inn was built for exactly that. The story starts in 1880, when Bayou Sarah entrepreneur Morris Wolf built an elegant Victorian home for his wife and children. The Wolfs stayed until 1903. Decades later the house was carved into apartments, then sat empty long enough to lose its mantles, light fixtures and most of its doors.

A Delightful New Coffee Shop Near the Amite River

Denizens in my (A&E Editor Jacqueline DeRobertis-Braun’s) neck of the woods—the very edge of East Baton Rouge Parish pushing right up against the Amite River—have long bemoaned the lack of a cozy independent coffee shop nearby to satisfy our caffeine cravings. Enter Café Verdino, a very green, very vibe-y coffee shop nestled in a shopping center along Jones Creek Road that opened its doors this summer. The aesthetics are mid-century modern meets the Mediterranean, populated with sensible (green) cushioned chairs and citrus-forward artwork and decor; outside there are umbrellas and tables for guests to enjoy as the weather cools. I had the pleasure of visiting the café for my first official excursion postpartum (sans my third baby), during which I enjoyed a perfectly foamed cappuccino and noshed on a feta veggie tartine (fresh, bright, and gorgeously plated). It was so good that I brought my two-year-old the next week on a mother-daughter date for a generously sized chocolate muffin (hers) and a delightfully spiced Autumn Breeze (mine, Café Verdino's take on a brown sugar shaken espresso topped with chai cold foam). Perfectly timed for the season of hot beverages, the antidote to bland commercial coffee shops is here. cafeverdino.com.
