The Roys entered a lease agreement in June for the 3,600-square-foot French Quarter space and completely renovated the interior. Roy II said the Hebrews name is "just a play on words, but is also intended to let people know that our coffee is always freshly roasted and brewed." The business offers specialty coffees, sandwiches, soups, salads and pastries. Hours: 6 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 6 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Phone: (417) 883-6200.
