We tried this gem today and I tell you this place is awesome. It's a husband and wife ran restaurant. They are very friendly and informative about the food. The wife, Natalie, cooks the foods and I promise you it's very delicious. I tried a matcha drink, because I'm love matcha and I don't know what she made but it was delicious I had the pancakes and my husband had the potato and spinach tacos. We shared so we can both have a taste. The pancakes were delicious! I added the blueberries and whatever that syrup was...it was sooo good! The tacos were not what my husband was expecting, he genuinely loved them. The cook suggested a mixture of sweet and russet potatoes and they made the taste buds dance. Topped with some pico de gallo, the right addition. The restaurant was clean, bright and airy. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Such a gem in Slidell! The food here is unbelievably fresh, flavorful, and all made from scratch -- they even make their own bread. I had the strawberry cashew cream cheese toast and the vegan Reuben (made with turnips!), and both were incredible. No processed meat substitutes -- just creative, whole-food plant-based cooking. The space is beautiful, set inside a restored historic building with cozy indoor seating and a peaceful outdoor courtyard. My dad and I loved everything we ordered and can't wait to come back. The owners, Jeramee and Natalie, have amazing energy and a great story -- you can feel the passion behind this place. They close at 2 PM most days, so be sure to stop by early. Highly recommend! read more

Wow, this place was AMAZING! I normally don't post reviews, but I had to for this place. I took my wife here for our 10 year anniversary and it did not disappoint. We ordered the nachos and the sliders and not only did I not notice a difference in the meat substitute, but the mixed ingredients were super flavorful! We were full after the two dishes, but everything was so good, we decided to end it with the baked potato. We were hesitant because the baked potato would usually be a starter, but it was the perfect ending to our great meal. Very friendly husband and wife ran restaurant and they even threw in free cookies for our anniversary. Highly recommend! read more

You can really feel the passion the two owners have for both their food and their location. They genuinely care about what they're serving and the experience they're creating, it's thoughtful, personal, and done the right way. The food is made with pride and attention to detail, so don't expect it to come out in five minutes. This is food that's prepared properly, and it's worth the wait. Every dish reflects quality ingredients and care, not shortcuts. The location fits the vibe perfectly and makes it a great place to slow down, relax, and enjoy the meal. My wife and I plan on making many visits. Awesome place. read more

I'm not Vegan, but the depth of flavor on the Basic Chick-un sandwich, a plant-based bombshell, stole my heart! The shokupan bread is freshly sliced and grilled to perfection, and the root vegetables - rutabega and turnips, roasted, marinated, and sliced thin. This sandwich is filled with tofu mayo, plant provolone, our avomamé spread, and a gorgeous chefs blend sprout mix. Highly recommended!! read more

Saint August Maison - The Basic Chick Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

One of my absolute favorite local gems in Slidell! Every visit to Saint August Maison is an experience -- the food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I've met friends there for breakfast and lunch, held business meetings, and even hosted my mother's celebration of life. The owners went above and beyond to help cater and organize the event, and everything -- especially the beef and grits -- was raved over! I'm not vegan, but I love that they offer an amazing vegan menu for breakfast and lunch while still catering all food groups for special events. Their flexibility, creativity, and kindness make every experience exceptional. They also helped coordinate a health fair where I spoke, bringing the community together beautifully. Highly recommend visiting for a meal or working with the owners to plan your next event. They truly care about people, connection, and creating memorable experiences that make our community stronger! read more

I'm not one to usually write reviews, but I have to for Saint August Maison. My husband and I stopped in for lunch after seeing posts about this lovely place, and it did not disappoint! It's so nice to see creative options in Slidell that go beyond the usual fare. We had their flavored probiotic ginger sodas, Reuben sandwich, and salad special (which held up nicely for leftovers), and everything was delicious! The dishes are so creative and flavorful. Everything is made in house and with so much love. The owners are such a joy and made the experience so welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

My sister and I absolutely are amazed by the food here!! Best food in Slidell hands down. They make a ton of stuff in house, buy locally, and organically. They truly care about the food they serve and how it affects your health. Sooooo incredibly tasty and made with love! The Reuben + the grilled cheese.... Mmmmm is SO YUM!!! Natalie really knows how to cook fantastic vegan food, you've got to try it! The service was excellent, we had friendly conversations and felt safe to be authentic : ) the building itself is so cute like an old time house, very pleasant atmosphere, the dishes the food is served on is so cute!! They are so generous and I can't say how much this place is appreciated in a world full of places and people serving food that is detrimental to your health. read more
