The Book & The Bean

I stopped in here, because in my opinion, there is not much better than a book store combined with a coffee shop. Very cute. Evidently this is quite the hangout space. Employees are friendly, everything is neat, clean and well organized. Lots of locally sourced items for sale.

The croissant was so good! The large dirty chai was fine, both items were a little over $8. Lotta overpriced dusty nick knacks.

Best coffee in Old Mandeville! Wonderful, friendly service, great place to grab a local kids book or rainy day mystery. Pick up a last minute birthday gift and grab a cookie from Cookie Chic if they have any left, they seek out fast.

Great place, we actually didn't realize that we arrived only a few minutes before closing. Service was great, owner/operator? Took care of us, she got us the drinks that we wanted. My wife wanted a specialty coffee and was accommodated wonderfully. We're visiting my wife's son and his fiance, and the next time we are in the area, we will return. Hopefully well before closing. 😁

Always friendly and delicious. A unique niche coffeebook nook that transforms you into a subtle relaxing southern atmosphere along the north shores of Lake Ponchatrain. Leave you opinions on the asphalt as you’ll meet all kinds at the end of your elbow 🙏🏼

Coffee shoppe with books , and small trinkets aka gifts and what nots such as candles, custom reefs, local customized gifts and my favorite purchase a silk like visor for yard work, boating , or sun protection in general. They also probably have some of the best outdoor seating on Girod Street in Mandeville. They offer small pastries as well. The entire concept and visited experience is genius. Would refer them to anyone looking for a charming tucked away gem. #OUTDOORSEATINGFAVORITES

Finally a good coffee shop in Old Mandeville! Outdoor seating is abundant. Friendly service and good prices! This could be a fantastic after dark hang out spot.

I had an amazing online shopping experience with The Book & The Bean. I had a gift certificate and was having problems with the check out. I emailed them, and Karrie helped me get everything resolved quickly! The tea I had wanted was out of stock, and not only did they send me a refund with my books, but also extra tea! I would highly recommend shopping here!

Funky little coffee shop with light food offerings.

Love this place! It's so welcoming and everyone I encountered was so friendly. Chicory (the resident feline) is so sweet.
Try the avocado toast if you get the chance. The espresso was made perfectly as well.
Will definitely make this a regular stop when I don't make coffee at home.
