From watching the show Home Town, Shug's was definitely on the list to pick up some sweet treats…read morewhile visiting Laurel. There was plenty of parking across the street from the shop. There is ice cream, milkshakes, cookie dough, and baked treats to choose from. Inside the store there are several tables to sit at to escape the heat of summer. We made our way over to the baked treats and purchased an assortment to bring back to our AirBnB. The customer service was great and helpful when making our selections. Let's get to the goodies! I loved the cookie square I got with the watermelon in icing on top. Makes for a cute seasonal dessert. The cookies were yummy along with the white chocolate peanut butter balls. Stop here for your baked treats!

The…read moreambiance of this spot really is nice and they have a lot of great looking stuff to see when you first walk in. The service here was very friendly and a lot of very nice folks. I've never seen any macaroons anywhere else in the Laurel, MS area so I was really happy to see they had them here. I LOVE macaroons so I was so excited to get one and bit into it... sadly I found my experience to be a very dry crumbly macaroon that I might go so far as to call stale. I've eaten many macaroons in my time and this one is on the bottom of my list sadly. I would suggest sticking with the other items here like the candy as I did enjoy my chocolate candy I ate. Overall this is the only game in Laurel, MS for desserts like this and for your macaroon fix I would wait for a visit to New Orleans.

We ate at Mimmo's two nights in a row while visiting family. The first evening was good -- we had…read morethe lasagna and pizza, and both were enjoyable enough that we decided to return the next night. Unfortunately, the second visit was a very different experience. I ordered the chicken piccata, and it was extremely disappointing. The sauce wasn't bright or balanced as you'd expect from a piccata. Instead, it tasted heavy and starchy, almost like thickened chicken broth, with none of the lemony depth or richness the dish should have. It was not enjoyable. It was also my birthday, which made the experience more frustrating. I let our waitress know that the dish wasn't good, but nothing was done to address it. There was no effort to adjust, replace, or even meaningfully respond, which felt dismissive. Additionally, the night before we had been told that gnocchi could be prepared for us the following evening. When we returned, that was no longer the case, and again there didn't seem to be much acknowledgment of the change. The inconsistency between the two nights was surprising. The restaurant is clearly capable of decent food, but the lack of follow-through and service recovery made the second visit disappointing.

Finding Mimmo's in Laurel right now is like searching for lost treasure in a construction zone --…read morethe kind where the street looks like Act I of a tragic opera: "Ode to the Detour." You'll battle cones, dodge machinery, and question your life choices. But when you finally burst through the doors? Bravo! The interior hits you like a grand crescendo -- exposed brick walls, high ceilings, the kind of lighting that makes you feel instantly more attractive. It's pure Tuscan theater. The service deserves a standing ovation -- all charm, smiles, and perfectly timed entrances. But once the food arrived, the orchestra started to lose the rhythm. The garlic rolls, priced at a dramatic $14, made their entrance dripping in butter -- so much butter, in fact, that garlic seems to have drowned somewhere backstage. The rolls glistened like they were auditioning for La Buttera. Soft, rich, and tasty, yes... but garlic? MIA. It's like sending Pavarotti on stage and getting a kazoo solo instead. Then came the pizza, whose crust sang a lovely opening note -- smoky, beautifully charred edges -- but the center was still a little... doughy. A tragic reminder that even great tenors sometimes miss the high note. The lasagna should've been the grand finale -- the full-throated aria of the meal -- but instead, it came out more like the understudy: pleasant, but lacking passion. The meat was flavorful, but the rest felt uncomposed. A little more Parmesan bravado could've saved the day. If Yelp had half stars, I'd give Mimmo's a 3.5, because the atmosphere and service are pure opera -- dramatic, romantic, and memorable. But the food? Still rehearsing. Come for the ambiance, stay for the butter, and hope that next time, the kitchen hits all the right notes. Final act verdict: Mimmo's has the stage presence of a headliner -- now it just needs a little more flavor in its aria.
