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.

We stopped here because our granddaughter wanted a bobo tea. We don't even know what that is…read more We searched Yelp and Bambu popped up and was super close to our location. It's a I've outdoor sign and a cool indoor atmosphere. Next to Domino's. Our granddaughter loves everything strawberry, so she ordered a strawberry milk tea. She loved it! She loves the bobo pearls ( what are they?!) at the bottom and said they were nice and tasty and chewy. She highly recommends this flavor and said it's not sweet at all. But she is 10. She says "It's just the perfect taste; perfect". I thought it was neat how the top lid is sealed and she had to poke it with her straw.... Next time there, my husband wants to try a Vietnamese sandwich....The server was really nice and the tea came out quick.

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.

This little place is so cute! I went here with a friend to a housemaid (book club) watch party!…read moreWhen you first walk in it is so welcoming they have so much stuff available for you to look at all kind of books and just things that you can really get into when you first walk in then as you continue to walk in you see the counter with the owner greeting you so nicely. The color scheme and everything is amazing in the place even though I did not try anything off the menu because it was strictly a watch party. I will definitely be back to try some things off the menu because it looks so good overall the book club experience was a really fun and nice experience. I definitely felt cozy being there and being able to watch the movie and talk and discuss the book with other people. I can't wait to go back and actually try some things and I will definitely give him a rating when I go but overall the place is just so cute so friendly so cozy definitely a 10 out of 10 definitely will be back the charcuterie board that I got was very good. I loved how they had a wide selection of different types of finger foods on the charcuterie board. I also enjoyed the flight that they made in regards to the movie that we watched. I thought that was a very cute idea, and it went with it perfectly. I will say this the drinks were strong! Which was a good thing in my favor overall a 10 out of 10 can't wait to go back.

They have an extensive hot and iced coffee list and they even have a specialty coffee of the day which I ordered. It was cracked it to perfection and I decided to sit outside on their covered patio. It was a hot summer day in July and the covered patio did have fans; that is a big place in South Louisiana. I did not order any food, but the salad looked absolutely phenomenal.

Lobster bisque was tasty as well. I had all good things. And on top of it all, Grace was our waitress and she was literally the best. 10/10. Favorite Dish: Scones and clotted cream!

First, I am satisfied with the actual business and people there. This rating is purely reflective…read moremostly on the food. The Pho noodle soups are OK / Good. But I find that the meat, particularly the brisket, is full of fat. It would be better if they would evaluate the cuts of meat they are using to ensure they are not giving 50% of the slices as just fat strand pieces. About half of the slices in my soup were purely fat. I am not talking about normal brisket fat; the problem is with the fat content in each slice. I should have more brisket to chew than fat. Pieces that are pure fat are not good. And I could argue that it is brisket when the meat part is not there at all. Spring rolls were OK - but there are better ones out there at other Pho restaurants. Portion size: the soup portion and its components are enough for a sitting. Portion size on meat leaves something to be desired though. I recommend having a bit more meat in the portion. Freshness: After having been to many Pho restaurants, I will have to say food freshness seems to be OK, but not outstanding. I will reserve further comment because I have not been here consistently to give a valid opinion. Value: See also- portion size. Value reflects overpriced selections. Comparisons to other Pho restaurants has Pho Grace slightly overpriced. I won't return frequently solely due to value. Staff were fine - no complaints at all. Restaurant is clean with a nice atmosphere, particularly for lunch. Overall: Pho Grace has been good / great over the years. Value deducted 1 star. Fatty meat deducted 1 star. OK soup deducted 1 star. It was good, but not great. For future visits with better experiences, I will update the review, and should be able to add more stars. Pho Grace is a good restaurant and Hammond is better with them. I do recommend trying it.
