The Vanilla Bean is a cute coffee, breakfast, lunch spot that checks off all of the things! Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff. Delicious coffee - I had the cold brew coconut joy ! Scrumptious breakfast sandwiches - I had the Sunrise and hubby had the biscuit. YUMMMMM! Grabbed some sweets for later - holiday peppermint cookies and carrot cake. This place is a MUST stop. And if you are looking for g for a quaint little town for a little shopping, The Vanilla Bean is right in the midst of an old downtown. I will definitely be back for shopping and to try out their lunch.

Stopped in on a long road trip from Houston…read more Stand alone business right off the main road and less than a mile from the interstate. Very clean bathrooms and a nice menu of coffee options. Several tables and chairs and in the corner was a small leather couch and a couple of leather chairs. They have a drive through but I always like to go in. My cafe mocha was great and exactly what I needed to get back on the road. Not that I make this drive often, but when I do, I will be back.

The service was poor and not helpful. Coffee was fine. I will visit Starbucks next time.read more

While on my way back from Jennings, Louisiana, I decided to stop in just to see which pies were…read morestill available. I ended up getting the Lemon and Blueberry Cream Cheese. Look, if you all have not tried the blueberry cream cheese pie from this place, please do. Everything about this pie was absolutely delicious. As you all can see, the pie‑dough to filling ratio is perfect. Now, you all can't tell the texture and feel of the crust just from looking at a picture, but when I tell you it was perfect. The lemon pie was good, and some people who like lemon pies will think it was delicious, but that Blueberry Cream Cheese pie is just top tier. I picked up the Strawberry Cream Cheese the following day, and I liked it, but it was not as good as the Blueberry one. Besides Delicious pies they do serve plate lunches and burgers. The service was excellent and the prices are awesome.

The food and pastries are outstanding here! This sweet dough is cool down the best I've ever had!read more

I stopped here driving back to Houston, and it was on a Sunday afternoon…read more Pros: The bathrooms were spotless, and the inside of the store was clean. It was busy but not as busy as ours in Houston. The staff was nice. There's also a grassy area outside, and it's not right by the freeway, so my dog could use the loo with ease. Cons: I ordered two refreshers once we parked. It said 10-13 minutes, which tracks with the line inside. While my husband walked our dog around, I used the bathroom and waited on our drink. I waited 10 more minutes. People around me started complaining with how long it was taking. My husband came inside and told me he'd get our drinks. Ten more minutes pass - nada. We ended up going to the drive thru, waiting even longer for a mobile order, and finally got our drinks. I realize it's a small town, but you're off a major interstate with traveling people. On the weekend, you're going to get an uptick in travelers and people stopping in. Waiting 20+ minutes is ridiculous. I also know I'm spoiled because I rarely have to wait 10 minutes for a mobile order in Houston. Our Starbucks are well staffed with personnel capable of a quick turnaround and efficiency. I might come back to this Starbucks, but they really need to improve their turnaround time with personnel if they want to remain open. Also, there's a PJ's down the street, so I'll probably just go there.
