    Cappuccino
    Anahit Z.

    One of the worst cappuccinos I ever had. It was soooo hot, I had to wait for 15-20 minutes to drink it. The coffee beans tasted very bad, too dark roasted (nobody even asked me what kind of roast do I want). The place was very dirty, not clean and very unpleasant to sit there. My friend worked here and use to tell me that this is the best coffee place around here. Well, after trying, I can definitely say, that she was wrong or she never had a good one)) Cappuccino in Elvis is 100 times better (but I don't like this fact that portion is soooo small).

    Cups, a staple of the Jackson community, had always been a popular place for local residents to grab coffee, study, and do work. So upon stopping by this Flowood location, I was enthusiastic about the quality I was about to receive. That, unfortunately, wasn't what I got. The seating areas were decent, albeit, with some tattered and awkwardly placed furniture. When I ordered my coffee, a small vanilla latte, it wasn't too warm, and, in this time of COVID, they also didn't place a lid of on my coffee, but rather had a station for us to place our lid caps and cup warmers on. Usually, this would be totally okay, but during this pandemic, we shouldn't be touching other items that every patron comes in and touches. The bathrooms were also not the most clean, and the cheese danish they handed me was placed in plastic wrap and wasn't warmed up. While the coffee tasted good and the ambience was nice, outside of that, this coffee shop was pretty lackluster. If you're in the Jackson area, stop by one of the many other far better Cups around the area for your caffeine fix.

    Love the coffee. My wife loved the Lavender latte. Prices are good! Much better than that other place named after some guy in a Melville novel.

    People in Mississippi just go googoo-gaga over this place and I'm really not sure why. Since I'm out of luck as far as SBUX is concerned when I am here visiting family, I'm pretty much forced to use Cups to get my iced coffee fix. Now, there is a SBUX inside of Target, but it is awful, awful, awful... I will never return there. The first time I was here, I ordered my iced coffee exactly like I do at SBUX. Well, I tried to. The sizes are different and I wasn't sure of how many pumps to use of the caramel and toffee syrup. What I ended up with was WAY too sweet. The cup was about the same size, so I figured the pumps would be about the same. Not so. The next visit, I had them put way less syrup and I at least ended up with something I could drink. The barista seemed annoyed with me because I wasn't familiar with their sizes. Excuse me for having to take a moment to try to do the conversions and she wasn't even attempting to help me at all. She just stood there glaring at me as if to say "would you hurry up." They do have plenty of comfortable seating here with free wifi. Seems like a good place to sit down with your laptop if you need to get some work done. If you order one of their regular drinks straight off the menu, maybe it's fine? I don't advise going in here with a specialty order if you're from out of town and are a SBUX person. It's also hard to find parking close to the entrance because it's in a shopping center and there's no drive-thru. If you're in a hurry, this could really be a problem. 3 stars why? Because it's my only option. To the State of Mississippi: Please catch the hell up and build some SBUX!

    A quaint little coffeehouse located on the corner of the shopping center. Not much parking in front of the building but plenty in the shopping center parking lot, who couldn't use a little walk anyway . The barista was friendly, and didn't have to wait very long at all. The coffee was fresh and hot, and didn't have that burnt taste like some other coffeehouses have.

    Everything here was so-so. Not worth the detour if you are on a road trip, just stop and get gas station coffee.

    My favorite Coffeehouse in town. Easily accessible to Dogwood. It's busy, yet comfortable if you want to veg out and read a book.

    Blondie was a great coffee, even though I am not a huge Caramel fan, but I thought would give it a try.

    Yes, I would recommend Kopiyo Pando. The service was great, and the sweetest girl ever helped me to…read moredecide. I told her my niece instructed me to come here. My niece is crazy about the corn dogs here. But I thought my niece was saying hotdogs, but the sweet girl at the counter helped me there, sweetly saying corn dogs. So there's a funny part: I don't think I took a picture of this. But don't let this change your mind. So, I got the corn dog with the sausage. The corn dog was so good I forgot the sausage was supposed to be inside. The amount of cheese is insane, love it. The bread and the outside of the corn dog are something to write home about. It takes a lot to eat this corn dog and I'm loving every bite. But toward the very end, I bite something, and I'm like, what is this? I looked at it, holding it up, and it's the sausage. The sausage is at the very end; it is no bigger and no longer than your baby finger. So don't go there thinking you will have a full sausage. But you would probably be like me, so carried away with the taste of the corndog and forget there is supposed to be a sausage. I brought this up to my niece, and before I could finish, she told me the story, hollering and laughing. I must add, its a charming place too!

    4 stars for now because I haven't tried everything on the menu but based off the service and…read moreatmosphere here. We are already off to a great start. Walked in and was greeted by two young ladies at the counter. Happy to help me with any questions I came in asking about the top and or popular drinks so I went ahead and ordered the wild boba and my fiancé ordered the dragons wish added tapioca pearls to the drink. You can also order ramen. Pick from the wall and they will prepare it for you with toppings of your choice. Will definitely be back!

    I travel quite a bit and always make it a point to seek out local, mom-and-pop coffee shops…read morewherever I go. During a recent trip, I stumbled across this place while needing some coffee for the road, and I'm glad I did. The moment I walked in, I could tell this wasn't just another coffee shop. The atmosphere felt different--warm, welcoming, and genuine. The staff was incredibly personable and made me feel right at home. It wasn't until after I had ordered and was waiting for my drink that I realized this is a faith-based company. As a man of faith myself, that immediately explained the feeling I had when I walked through the door. While waiting, I took some time to look around and was impressed by the apparel and merchandise they offer. You can tell there's purpose and heart behind what they're building. Then came the moment of truth--the first sip. As every coffee lover knows, it can either be greatness or disappointment. Thankfully, this was greatness. My cortado was exceptionally well-balanced and hit all the right notes. My friend ordered an Americano and was equally impressed. Needless to say, this place has earned a permanent pin on my map of coffee shops to revisit. Great people, great atmosphere, and great coffee. I'll definitely be back.

    I have to update each time I try something new. I got the three egg omelette today with sausage…read more Words cannot describe how fabulous this omelette is. Now to be clear, this is not fast food. I did wait 5 to 7 minutes to get a piping hot freshly made omelette. It was incredible. Per the usual, I did not take a picture before I ate a few bites.
