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.

Welp I may be in the minority, but I'm just not a fan of tapas. In general it isn't a good value…read moreand in the case of The Pawn Shop what we ordered just didn't satisfy. The brussel sprouts are swimming in creme fraise and that was a turn off. I have rarely met a brussel spout I didn't like but it was not good. The poached shrimp dish ( name escapes me) comes in flavorful and nice tasting broth accompanied by great bread, BUR there were only 4 shrimp for over $20 - definitely not worth it. The tostada with roe wasn't bad, but it was unremarkable. Lastly the hanger steak was waaaayyyyyyy too salty and that alone cancelled out the pretty good, but meager, side veggies and minuscule teaspoon of polenta. It is an 'experience' to enter the restaurant through the faux pawn shop... You DO need to bring something to "pawn/leave" and that was fun and kinda funky but overall I wouldn't go back again, no do I think I can recommend it to others based on our experience. Our party had four people and 3/4 felt the same way.

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 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

The staff was beyond nice, the location was always nice, and his the food is as well. I enjoyed every interaction with the staff and our wonderful Server, as well as every bite I put into my mouth! It was a really great brunch. We tried a few things, and absolutely LOVED them all! The Banana Pancake was to die for!! It's a special, not on the everyday menu but if you catch it- try it!! Delicious caramelized bananas with a sweet cream, served hot and fluffy! It was perfection! The Sweet Potato Halos drizzled with icing were amazing as well. We also had the BBQ shrimp & grits, which the hubby loved. I also ordered an omelette with ham, sausage, bacon & cheese, toast and grits. It was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Combined great food and a relaxed enjoyment atmosphere and you have a wonderful day out! I'd highly recommend this location. I think you'll like it. Oh, and don't forget to try their coffees!

It was nice to have a table close enough to all of the action on the river. We were close to the bands and a great view of the fireworks. The staff were amazing and very attentive. We were able to order coffee from their regular menu which is a plus. I love their seasonal candy can latte! The food was great and I loved that I was able to try things that I wouldn't normally order. We had a charcuterie board for the table. I could go on and on. Everything was perfect! The owner even came around to make sure everything was going good for us. I hope they do this event again next year because I can ensure my group will be there!
