I love Board and Bottle! I stop by every time I visit Ruston. I’m usually in for breakfast and coffee. They really have the best, freshest coffee and great options for breakfast. Plus the staff are just so friendly and helpful. I needed just a quick bite tonight so my brother and I both got the cucumber salmon cups. They were so good! Such a nice, light meal full of complimentary flavors. I didn’t have time for a cocktail tonight, but they had some intriguing options. I’ll definitely make it a point to stop by for dinner again!

Very nice place, relaxed atmosphere, wonderful lighting. Went for a coffee in the morning and it was absolutely delicious so I decided to go back in the evening to try the bar and again the whole atmosphere was wonderful but that wasn't an old fashioned. The guy just put whiskey in a glass with ice, cherry, and then an orange slice on the rim. I paid for it so I drank it but couldn't really enjoy it.

Relaxed vibe, very nice selection of food, wine, and drinks. Highly recommend. Service is great but they run a little lean. They put a lot of effort in making their events to be memorable! (wine tasting esp.)

Stopped in for breakfast at Board and Bottle Café and Wine Bar in Ruston, and had a pleasantly quiet experience—literally. We were the only guests at the time, which made for fast counter service and a laid-back atmosphere. The young staff were friendly, though understandably a bit bored given the slow morning. The café itself is beautifully decorated and impressively clean, with a cozy, upscale vibe that makes you want to linger. We ordered two breakfast bowls and orange juice. While the prices leaned a bit high for a casual breakfast, the food was genuinely good. The side sauce added a flavorful kick—just go easy on it unless you like things bold. We skipped the coffee since we were headed out for a hike, but it’s on our list for next time. Definitely planning a return visit to explore more of the menu.
