We know now! Folks are friendly and knowledgeable and make wonderful coffees and delicious food. We went twice in a week (long story) and got cookies the first day and breakfast the second. It's the kind of place you'd hang out longer if you had time, although we didn't. Next time. And let me tell you, the cookies we had were the best we'd ever had. Big, soft, loaded with chocolate and macadamia and coconut for a magic combination we've never had anywhere else. It's almost a full meal. We're not local to Denham Springs, but visit occasionally.

I ordered the ham, egg, and Swiss croissant, a chocolate chip cookie, and a latte. My only complaint is that I wish the coffee and sandwich had been served hotter. Still, the warm atmosphere more than made up for it. There are plenty of cozy seating areas both inside and outside that make you want to just sit and stay.

They were out of almond milk. Oat milk was suggested in place of the almond milk. I was skeptical, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. It was so good. The oat milk had more of a heavy consistency than what I'm use to with the almond milk. I truly enjoyed it. It was pleasantly creamy and satisfying. Return?! ... ABSOLUTELY

So, I've come to this DD for several years. The current owners, who've been here a while still…read morerefuses to put almond milk in frozen drinks. They say it's because of peanut allergies. Every other DD in the nation where I've visited will do it but nah, not these people. Newsflash, you're in LaPlace, LA (let that sink in for a minute). You're literally nowhere on the map and yet you think out of the millions of people in the USA, the possibility of the majority of people having a peanut allergy (about a 1% or 3 million people), will be in LaPlace? Let me humor you. If you take 3 million people with a peanut allergy, divide that by 50 states, you'd get 60,000 people in each state. Not realistically but statistically. Out of those 60,000 in Louisiana, do you really think ANY will be in LaPlace??? I'll tell you now, the majority will be getting drunk on Bourbon Street, not sipping on DD frozen drinks. You may have one or two but what is the likelihood they'll indulge DD instead of Starbucks? I really think it's asinine that DD HQ will let them do this. They're a franchise that's dictating a company's business decisions. The DD in Metairie will put almond milk in their frozen drinks.

The coconut definitely comes through and gives it a tropical taste without taking away from the matcha. For lunch, I had the tomato basil soup with a side salad and garlic herb cheese bread. The soup was good and probably my favorite part of the meal. The bread was a little too cheesy for me, but overall everything paired well together. The atmosphere really stood out. It's cozy and welcoming and feels like the kind of place you can settle into for a while. I'd definitely come back. Since the Island Matcha was seasonal, I'm already eyeing the strawberry matcha for my next visit.

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!
