Coastal Mississippi prides itself on its rich culinary options, and that includes its robust collection of coffee houses that dot the shoreline. Each coastal city adds its own flare of roasts to the mix. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most popular spots on The Secret Coast to relax and rejuvenate with a hot (or cold) cup of joe - whether you prefer to dine in, drive through or pick up.
Mockingbird Café
When you step into the Mockingbird Café in downtown Bay Saint Louis you feel a sense of charm that warms you up before you even get a cup of java. The café is housed in a delightful old building just a couple of blocks from the water. The owners don’t mind when the café is lovingly referred to as the ‘living room of the Bay.’ The hot and cold options for beverages include everything from espresso to nitro brewed coffees. Don’t forget the ‘Bird’s delicious breakfast, brunch, and lunch menus!

Cat Island Coffee House
It doesn’t get much cozier than sipping on a hot cup of coffee while being nestled among busy book shelves and surrounded by gorgeous water views. That’s exactly where you will find yourself on a visit to the Cat Island Coffee House and Pass Christian Books. This quaint shop sits right across Highway 90 from the Pass Christian Harbor and is basically the front door to downtown where you’ll find other shops, restaurants, and boutique hotels. You’ll sometimes stumble upon a book signing or some live music at this eclectic venue. While you’re there, grab a good book and something to eat!

Bankhouse Coffee
Originally built in 1924 as the second-ever branch location of Hancock Bank, this iconic Long Beach establishment packs nearly a century of history into every drop of coffee they serve! Bankhouse Coffee uses roasters built in the 1910s, boasting some of the largest turn-of-the-century roasting production in the United States. They serve Coast Roast coffee, which can be enjoyed in three other locations under that name across the Gulf South, but why not start with a side order of Long Beach yesteryear?

Proudly serving New Orleans' French Truck Coffee, Jacked Up offers a number of traditional caffeinated beverages, but they truly live up to their name through their specialty offerings. A fully-stocked liquor bar lets you add a "kick" to any drink if you so desire, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with anything from a Cotton Candy coffee to a Chocolate Chip Cookie Milkshake, or you can pair any of these tasty beverages with sweet and savory selections from the kitchen. From Parmesan Garlic Herb to Lemon Blueberry, there's a flavor of Monkey Bread for every appetite!
