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.

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

Suggestions are shrimp dishes, gumbo, crawfish, & sandwiches. Over half the customers are locals & regulars. As other local eateries decline, Rice Palace improves.

We walked in and checked out the menu before ordering at the front. I got a shrimp po boy with sweet potato fries and a side salad. My fiance got the turkey club with onion rings. We thought the sides came with it, but realized after we were charged for an onion loaf appetizer which explains why we got the whole bloomin' onion! lol! Since we were on a long drive we unfortunately couldn't take leftovers. The portions were HUGE! My sandwich was good, but I only had half off the bread since it was just too much for the sandwich. The sweet potato fries were amazing and also huge. I just had water, but my fiance got the frozen root beer and we both loved it. Tasted like an Italian ice! The girl working asked if he was sure he wanted a small since it was super tiny. He went with medium and it was huge. Everything was huge. Great local spot surrounded by all chain restaurants.

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.

I got a cup of gumbo and potato salad. My wife and I shared the fried shrimp platter. The fried shrimp were some of the best I've had anywhere and the garlic bread was amazing. The gumbo needed a little salt and a splash of tabasco. It's clearly made to satisfy elderly people's spice / sodium needs but once I added that it was just right. I would go back and get a bowl of it. That potato salad is perfect as well. I'm getting hungry thinking about this place.

Make sure you have a drink handy before you start on them. (They're included with every meal.). Although they are standard pork skins, they're also kind of dry - a nice remoulade dip with them would be good. Came in for appetizers and left quite satisfied. An order of cheese curds and a boudin sushi was just enough for my wife and I. The cheese curds are pretty standard fried mozzarella. The boudin sushi is very good boudin (probably made in the meat market next door), and the hoisin and yum sauce on it adds a nice little lagniappe. If I come back this way, I'll stop in and maybe try a full meal. Or maybe just another boudin sushi. It's good enough for a meal.
