The Book And The Bean - Mandeville

I've been visiting this coffee shop for a while now, and I have to say it's the ideal way to kick off my mornings! The staff is incredibly helpful and always greets you with a bright smile.

I’m updating my review since it’s been quite a while since my last visit. Initially, I gave it five stars but didn’t leave any comments. One of the great things about a coffee shop is the opportunity to relax, but many places are small and only have indoor seating surrounded by the noise of blenders and espresso machines. Book and Bean offers a more tranquil and intimate experience, with a shared outdoor area where you can sit comfortably, even when the heat index is soaring. They have an excellent selection of coffee and food, making it a perfect spot to unwind.

Always friendly and delicious! This unique coffee and book nook immerses you in a calming southern atmosphere along the northern shores of Lake Pontchartrain. Leave your judgments aside, as you'll encounter a diverse mix of people here. ☕

This coffee shop offers a charming collection of books and a variety of small trinkets and gifts, such as candles, custom wreaths, and locally personalized items. One of my favorite discoveries was a silky visor that's ideal for yard work, boating, or just keeping the sun off. They also have some of the best outdoor seating on Girod Street in Mandeville, along with a selection of delightful pastries. The entire concept and experience are truly impressive. I highly recommend this delightful hidden gem to anyone in search of a unique spot. #OUTDOORSEATINGFAVORITES

This restaurant is fantastic! We didn't even realize we had arrived just a few minutes before closing time. The service was excellent; the owner took care of us personally and made sure we got the drinks we wanted. My wife requested a specialty coffee, and they were very accommodating. We're in town visiting my wife's son and his fiancée, and we'll definitely come back the next time we're in the area—hopefully well before closing next time!
