The Student’s Guide to Shreveport-Bossier Coffee Shops
April 27, 2026
Rhino Coffee Downtown and Rhino Coffee Uptown are two of the coffee shops located nearest to Centenary's campus. Both locations have a large menu with many different coffee options, using two different roasts that are both roasted locally, and a variety of teas and other non-coffee items. They also have a food menu, with baked goods, breakfast, and lunch options that can serve as a whole meal if you get hungry. Most drinks start around four to six dollars, but charges are made for things like milk substitutions. On top of their regular drinks, Rhino has a variety of rotating seasonal drinks, so there is something new to try every time you go. The main difference between the two is their location and vibe inside the building. The Uptown location is larger and much quieter than Downtown. Although both locations have outside seating, Uptown’s is much more spread out and has a garden-type vibe. Uptown Rhino might be better for studying, and Downtown would be better if you are looking to hang out and chat.
