The Brew Paddle Cafe
For a young couple armed with culinary experience and a vision to have their own restaurant, the dream came true on September 26, 2023 when The BrewPaddle Cafe opened inside the Bella Hotel in Biloxi.
While the name of their business may seem
strange, Rachel and Scott Plauche have a good
reason for it. Before his sudden passing in January
2021, Rachel’s father bought what seemed to be
a random Christmas gift for Scott, a brew paddle,
a tool generally used to brew beer. “At the time it
didn’t make any sense,” Rachel recalls. “After his
passing, we soon felt as if Pop had left us with one
last nudge of encouragement and support. Since
then it has become the name and symbol for our cafe. Pop’s initials are in our logo, and we have a sweet coffee drink dedicated to him.”
The menu features gourmet French-inspired breakfast and lunch, alongside housemade artisan breads, pastries, and a full coffee bar. House specialties are sourdough breads, croque madame, and fresh tartines. No matter what you choose though, you’re sure to be back for seconds (and thirds).
