Greenhouse On Porter
At first glance, The Greenhouse on Porter just looks like a small restaurant inside of a house.
However, there’s a reason it’s called The Greenhouse On Porter. After placing your order in the main “house”, head to the greenhouse out back. This is the main dining room.

This was such a fun setting! Since we were two moms enjoying a kid-free weekend getaway, we HAD to start brunch with a couple of cocktails! I’ve never met a mimosa I didn’t like, including this one. Hannah went for a Bloody Mary with all the fixins.

They have biscuit specials daily and if the Smoked Salmon biscuit is available when you’re there, I highly recommend it. Now I know why this place is so popular!

Hannah liked her pimento cheese and tomato sandwich as well. Shhh…don’t tell but I may have swiped a couple of her homemade chips.
While it’s a great place to eat, The Greenhouse On Porter also has monthly art shows, Thursday night yoga, trivia and more. I love that they make it a point to give back to the community…kind of makes their food taste even better! If you’re in the Ocean Springs area, you should definitely check it out.
Mockingbird Cafe
If you’re looking for a little whimsy to go along with your breakfast, head to Mockingbird Cafe in Downtown Bay St. Louis. The motto here is Happiness Is Homemade and their food is made from scratch with lots of love.

I loved wandering around and finding something different around every corner. They had everything from coffee nooks to a bar…this might be a cool place to come for happy hour.
They don’t just serve drinks for happy hour through and we ordered a couple to go with our brunch. I went for the Froze, a tasty combination of rose wine and strawberry lemonade. Hannah tried the Tequila Mockingbird, made with rosemary honey, blood orange juice and tequila. It’s not a bad way to start the day when you’re on vacation!
While I loved the cool decor and vibe of the Mockingbird Cafe, the food was the star of the show. My Prosciutto Toast with egg was breakfast perfection! It might sound simple but it was really good and if I lived closer, I’d be here every weekend.

You can never go wrong with biscuits and gravy when you’re in the south, right? Hannah’s dish was pure comfort food.
While we were there for breakfast, The Mockingbird Cafe is also open for lunch daily. Stop in Thursday-Saturday and you’ll also find them serving pub food until 9PM.
Coast Roast Coffee
Don’t have time to sit down for a full meal? If you’re just looking for a quick bite to eat and a cup of coffee, Coast Roast in Gulfport is your spot.
