Partnered with Flamjeaux Coffee Co. for all of our coffee beans. Soup from Stefani's stove. A back courtyard with string lights. Stop in for breakfast. Stay for the morning.
“What an eclectic little coffee shop in downtown Mandeville! Don’t expect drive through speed, but quality and attention to details with a great atmosphere is the reason to stop by! Breakfast items are available but didn’t try any of them. Local artists also sell their creations. Will visit again when I’m back in town!”
“This is such a cute spot in Old Mandeville to grab a great coffee and delicious breakfast sandwich! On top of the coffee and food being delicious, the service was fantastic!”
“I cannot review "food" but i did have a coffee and it was terrific. The food options looked amazing, so i will return for an update! The staff was so sweet and full of life. I hesiststed to walk in as they were only open 20 more minutes, but they didn't seem to mind at all. In fact, six more people walked in behind me and the employees were just as jovial! It's a great place to sit and stay, especially for a girls day out.”
“The Bean! Coolest coffee shot in Mandeville in my opinion. From the moment when you walk in the door. I get this sense of feeling like I’m at home. The back court yard and patio puts you directly center. In the outdoors of historical old Mandeville. Oh mostly importantly the awesome Chef / owner Stefani. Is there daily whipping up the best sandwiches, soups around.”
“Cozy atmosphere. Quiche, coffee, and a relaxed outing. Food is always good, coffee always hits the spot.”
The Bean is what happens when a coffee shop is also a kitchen and a back porch. Stefani makes the soups herself. The coffee comes from Flamjeaux right down the road.
String lights, mismatched chairs, the back-porch hush. We open early, and the regulars have figured this out. Feel free to join them.
Two blocks off the lakefront. Pull up to the curb — there's almost always a spot. Sit in front, sit in back, sit too long.
