The Book & The Bean

The atmosphere is great. Shopping in the front is fun and sitting in the open backyard surrounded by antiques was relaxing. The iced coffee with white chocolate and milk I had was delicious. My wife's iced coffee with oat milk and hazelnut was great. Prices are comparable to other shops.

Lovely establishment with delicious food and drinks and gift items too.

Great atmosphere, cool baristas, good coffee.

Fantastic environment. Easy to get in and out of. Within an easy ride from the Trace. Street parking close by. Coffee is good and there's plenty of baked goods to choose from. Plenty of seating outside but somewhat limited inside. However, the inside is as cozy as it gets. Coffee was delicious and the shop smells great! It smells like coffee, baked goods, and an old library. Great experience!

We need more places like this! It is charming, and vibrant and always with people you know sitting both inside and out, sipping excellent locally roasted coffee. I love the art, jewelry and other handmade items by local artisans and my son just loves the kids books. Carrie really makes it feel like home!

Small and intimate, but service is slow and seating is very limited. We opted to take out drinks outside to get away from a large party that came in and made the place quite crowded.

The coffee drinks are about average for an independent shop.

If you want to peruse books AND have coffee, this may be your best local option. If you're just interested in the coffee and a snack, Kona Coffee (Beach House) down the street may be a better option.

We love this little coffee shop and gift shop! They make great coffee and we usually find something fun to eat as well!

I was holding a property open for a broker's tour and wanted to have some coffee along with the other refreshments I had. The Book & The Bean did not disappoint! They were very kind and had my order ready and waiting, complete with borrowing their air pot, cups and accessories. Will use them again, in a heartbeat! I even directed a few to the store for other goodies. They all loved the coffee. Thanks again guys!

Best coffee shop in Old Mandeville! They have catered to our needs as a large group from day 1 of opening. The Book & The Bean has met and far exceeded my expectations by providing great coffee at a reasonable price and superior customer service.

The Book & The Bean has a relaxing environment on the back patio!! Great selection on good reads and amazing coffee and the best customer service. This is a place you definitely need to experience yourself.
