I'll be the first to say this place has issues. I've been coming here for most of my life though,…read moreso I'm pretty loyal nonetheless. If you can get past the completely inconsistent food prep and service, you'll find yourself enjoying a real gem. Some of my favorite memories are hanging out with friends here during highschool. The interior has always been cozy and dim compared to the loud beach style exterior. I'm not mad that the workers chill out at the tables and take their time getting up to come serve you. I appreciate places that let their workers sit down and act like humans. The workers there don't always know what's on the menu. But I do! Order a steak croissant and a peach coffee smoothie. It's been a while since I ordered the steak croissant, but they usually will go to the other kitchen to grab steak for me. The peach coffee smoothie was definitely something that can be inputted in the computer by your server at least a couple months ago. It's ice cream, cold brew, peach puree or fresh peaches, a bit of oats, and whipped cream. If this sounds crazy to you, don't be alarmed; it's heaven on earth!

Tire of the chain coffee shops you normally visit? Give Kona a try…read more Kona is a small coffee shop located in Old Mandeville. It is attached to The Beach House and I am pretty sure it used to be a bar or at east part of the bar at the BH. Now it is a full on coffee shop. The Good The coffee here is very good. The iced coffee is bold yet smooth with very little bitterness. if you're a fan of coffee the way god intended (black with nothing), you will be happy with their version. If I had to guess I would say that it's cold brewed. There is a decent selection of food items. On my most recent visit I had a croissant sandwich. It was pre-made and microwaved to warm it up, but it was tasty. My daughter had a chocolate muffin which she devoured with the quickness. The "Just OK" This is a small and narrow space with low ceilings. Each time I have been here it seemed as if all, or almost all, of the tables were taken up by folks who weren't leaving anytime soon. I am a big fan of working at a coffee shop, but if you've got whining kids, it is nice to have a place to sit, eat, and then roll out. There is a small parking lot next to the shop. I have never seen it when it wasn't full. There is ample street parking, but the curbs are low and not friendly to low vehicles. The service is hit or miss. My most recent visit was fine, but several others have been downright odd. One time the barista didn't know how to make the sandwich I ordered. I am pretty sure it just gets unwrapped and put in the microwave. Will I be back? I think so. It is a nice alternative to the chains. I just wish I had more tie during the week to stop in.

Workers are very friendly, and their location is pretty popular, it is filled with costumers and others come and go for their pick up order. It's a cute little store located in a Hallmark movie area, very picturesque.

I love Cherrybombe. Perfect stop for a quick fix or to stay a while, with friends or alone.

I came in today specifically craving a cherry danish I had in my last visit, but was not in today. I had an amazing blueberry muffin instead and paired it with their house blend. The light and airy muffin was the perfect compliment to the bold coffee (which I enjoyed black, as it is just so good in its own.) Great location with both indoor and outdoor seating

It is so cute, the staff are helpful and friendly, and most importantly the coffee is amazing. I decided to get a mid day pick me up and checked this place out around noon. They have a bunch of seasonal specials, one of which is called the Purple Magnolia. It is a latte with white chocolate and lavender and it is A-mazing. I may have to come back just so I can get it again. They also have a selection of gluten free baked goods-Celiac friendly! There is plenty of seating, a small outdoor area in the front, and a drive thru window! As I was exiting, I saw a little lake area in the back with women tables and chairs too. I highly recommend stopping here for some coffee if you are in the neighborhood!

Admittedly, their cinnamon rolls are what first attracted me and had me coming back after my first two attempts were sold out. After getting the cinnamon roll, admittedly, it was not my favorite, but find the biscuits, coffee and their other desserts great. This is a classic American style bakery, which I love and the treats and sweet nicely sized and taste homemade. I will definitely be back!
