I think this place is absolutely adorable. As many of us would expect, a coffeehouse/bookstore on the beach is exactly as cozy and relaxing as it sounds.
We (my husband and I) got the sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin sandwich. Super yummy. Tasted very fresh.
Also, I was a barista for 3 years which has made me a bit of a coffee snob. For me, at least, their latte was super smooth and not too sweet at all (I also got it half sweet).
Went here every day while we were visiting!

Came for the books, stayed for the coffee and extremely delicious pastries. Small coffee shop and bookstore overlooking the ocean definitely worth a visit!
Usually has a line but it moves very quickly.
Outstanding and professional staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Has small but very tempting range of both baked and not cooked to order options that are absolutely delicious! Fills up quickly but has seating upstairs, indoors and outside so you can usually find a place. Very attentive and friendly staff who are professional and pleasant.
Highly recommend!

Delightful coffee shop! Chill vibe, delicious coffee, and a fantastic staff made for a great stop on my trip! Loved the upstairs seating too.

Fabulous coffee. We dropped in to have an espresso late in the day. The staff behind the counter is very knowledgeable on their coffee. They poured what is probably the most perfect espresso I may have ever had. Their beans are a little light but still very tasty and definitely not a blonde roast. Very chill location able to see the beach from the front deck. It was super easy to walk here and we will be back again.

This place was great! I had never been in this town before, and ChatGPT recommended this place. After an unpleasant experience in a nearby area, I decided to come here and read my book. The staff were super friendly, and the atmosphere was peaceful and adorable. I sat on the second floor as most of the tables downstairs and outside were taken. That worked out perfectly as I was able to eat, read my book, and look out the window at the perfectly blue sky. My sandwich and coffee were fantastic!! It was lunchtime, so it wasn’t a breakfast sandwich and I can’t remember which one I had. I came right in time because all of the other tables upstairs were taken shortly after I arrived. I will definitely visit this place again if I’m in the area.

The experience of sitting on the deck, gazing at the ocean with the wind blowing just right, and feeling a profound sense of tranquility and silence enveloping the world—it’s truly remarkable. The thought and effort put into the concept are evident, and I commend you on creating such a captivating experience. Cat Island Cold Brew is definitely recommended!

Very beautiful place nice and relaxing off route 90 in Pass Christian Mississippi. I got a Mississippi mocha, 2 eggs sunny side up and crispy bacon 3 slices was $12.84 including tax not bad at all. Food was delicious and the Mississippi mocha yummy.

Our writers group met there for the first time today. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. I dont drink coffee myself, but those that did said it was really good. I have a fudge brownie that was exceptional! Hopefully we’ll be back again!

The best part about this place is the view. It has an awkward entrance and parking, and the girl at the counter was wearing a mask which made the whole experience less than enjoyable. Nothing like showing people that they’d rather not be near people. Not the best look for customer service. The worst part though, was realizing halfway through my mediocre mocha that they had not given me the oatmilk that I asked for. Nothing like a bad stomach ache and nausea for several hours for some coffee. The book selection is ok, but definitely leaning a certain political direction which also gives off a very unwelcoming feeling. The lack of attention to my request for oatmilk was a deal breaker for me though. Thankfully I don’t have a severe allergy, but it is bad enough that it affected me most of the morning.

Really cool coffee shop/book store. If you’re looking for a cozy place to grab some coffee and read a book, then look no further. This place is somewhat quiet and very cozy. I could hang out here all day drinking coffee while reading a book.
