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.

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.

The service was poor and not helpful. Coffee was fine. I will visit Starbucks next time.read more

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

Don't come here after 7pm even though they close at 8pm. The floor is wet from being mopped so…read moreearly with no wet floor sign. The bathrooms are clean but the doors are like blocked open, so you can't use them. The staff will literally mop around you and put every chair up around you starting at 7pm. They should just close the doors at 7pm because you are obviously not welcome in after then. I understand wanting to close on time or leaving on time. However, they would still adhere to the actual open hours. And this is the second time in a week this has happened to me. 4th time in 3 weeks.

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

Here today! Myself…read moreand 3 of my coworkers was on our way to Florida, 2 were truck drivers. For anyone that doesn't know, truck drivers and bus drivers know the best places to eat. I had no suggestions, all I knew was I knew of the best place to get some boudin balls. Picture the 4 of us hungry hippos talking over each other wanting what we want and all claiming we knew the best place to get the best of what we craved. I cleared the least hours so when it came to driving, NOT me but I totally forgot we were passing through Louisiana so I acted exhausted and chose the rear of the van so count me out the equation hahaha. The rule of thumb is the driver gets the final say on where we stop to eat and he CLAIMED the place he knew had great food including boudin balls (I'm in the rear flipping through my Yelp reviews searching for the place I was insisted on stopping at). Ok so we pull up to this deserted hole in the wall (see picture) parking lot irritated voicing my disappointment and so did the other 2 except the driver who was reassuring us the food was DA BEST, he raved on and on about their food was life changing. We walk in and the place and it's DESERTED, but I did see a couple eating boudin balls so ok fine. Our waitress took our drink order, I wanted an Arnold Palmer and she explained their tea wasn't sweet because majority of their customers were seniors. As we're looking over the menu the driver wasn't, he still insisting the food was da chiii and already knew what he wanted, I'm looking for BOUDIN BALLS hangry (hungry/angry) coworker 3 saying we needed to go elsewhere, coworker 4 asking is the food even Cajun and do they have seasoning she could add. As we're ordering I asked WHERE ARE THE DANG boudin balls, she say they don't have them and what I saw the couple had was fried mushrooms balls. The driver who chose the restaurant was conveniently in the restroom! We all order and waited impatiently for our meals still complaining and small talking. Our meals arrive and the 3 of us looking at our plates like toddlers deciding if we was going to eat what we was given, the waitress said it's a lot she knows. Naw lady, this a hole in the and inflation too high to waste on food we won't like, this Louisiana and we know there's better in this State. WE took our first bites in unison and said DAMN looks are deceiving! THEEE flavor was there! Each of us started raving about what we ordered and offering each other a taste of Louisiana cooking! The portions were enough to take with us since we would be arriving in Florida late and had to clear 8 hrs before we took over our buses. We was so satisfied with the portions of out left overs that we didn't need to spend anymore money, we want to sleep the rest of the ride. WE highly recommend Rice Palace if you want to try a different restaurant in Louisiana, or a budget because eating on a road trip isn't as affordable anymore we have to be cost conscious. Here today! Yup will be back tomorrow!

Friendly staff and plenty of seating…read more Had the bbq pork steak and they should change it to pork jerky. Tough burnt and dry. Over seasoned. The rice dressing is ok. The potato salad a little off and the beans are too sweet. The bbq sauce too sweet too. Fried catfish and mushrooms were decent. Corn dog was like a carnival and big. Strawberry lemonade needs more lemonade flavor it was just too much strawberry syrup I remember from my child hood freezer section. Anyways typical small town fried fare.
