Good downtown coffee shops. Plenty of space for hipsters to spread out their laptops. We had two iced coffees & a pastry. Device was friendly & fast. Good place to drop in when you're downtown shopping read more

I used to be skeptical of this place but I've come to really enjoy it. Coffee is good. Food is good, too. Coffee for all types. I'm a good black coffee guy and my wife is a sweet iced coffee person and they serve both options. Great environment, too. As I'm sitting here they're playing Circles Around the Sun's album "interludes for the dead". Pretty atypically honestly. Great jams. Great coffee. read more

This place is FANTASTIC! From the giant coffee roasting machine in front to the mismatched couches and chairs, it has a unique and funky feel. The crowd is diverse and includes moms and kids, tourists and local business people grabbing a coffee or meal to go. Their coffee menu is extensive and has tons of choices; anyone can find something to enjoy. And the food, WOW. Our order arrived reasonably quickly and all ingredients were tasty and fresh; from the heavily stuffed turkey omelet to a veggie breakfast sandwich, all was delicious. Unfortunately, we arrived late to enjoy any of their baked goods because they were SOLD OUT. Now we are determined to go earlier and be able to partake in their delicious sounding muffins. read more

Nice little lunch spot in downtown Laurel. The Yelp reviews steered us in their direction and it didn't disappoint. I had a turkey Panini sandwich that was twice as large as I needed it to be. It was really good though and my girlfriend enjoyed her BLT. They've got a nice old school downtown vibe happening in the dining area - exposed brick and high ceilings. It was the perfect lunch spot! read more

Maybe caught them on a bad day. Service was super sloooow. Waited almost 20 minutes for an omelette and when served was cold... actually cold. read more

Great cup of coffee. We stopped in to grab a latte on our way out of town and it was super yummy. It was clean and we had great, friendly service. Stop in for a cuppa sometime. read more

Awesome place. We were passing through Laurel on our way back from California. Going off the beaten path. My wife was in need of COFFEE. We found an awesome place to get her caffeinated fix. Beside awesome coffee, we had a great lunch with awesome chicken salad sandwiches and French onion soup. The decor was very nice with turn of the (20th) century buildings and architecture. I love these old buildings and the history that goes with them. I highly recommend getting off the beaten path and enjoying a nice lunch with a great freshly ground cup of coffee. read more

Great drinks and food. Sightly obsessed with the Chai Chiller and loved that they imported coffee from Cartel! It was great seeing a little of our home into a small town since we are merely visiting Laurel. Good delivered quickly both times I was here and drinks were tasty both times. read more

Great place to visit. The drinks and breakfast were great. Plus the side of fruit was fresh.

This place is an oasis in a desert of cafe's and other morning food. I was able to get not only a fresh banana but a chai latte in a town where fresh food was almost extinct and coffee at it's best is the wafflehouse. read more

We came in for coffee. It was amazing and we are picky coffee drinkers. They let us know there would be about a ten minute wait for our coffee. We're not in a hurry, as the world seems to be these days. Quaint, cute, good service and great coffee. read more

Neat place to grab a meal. Breads were really good. Coffee was good as well. Hours on Yelp showed 11am open. Actual open was 9am on Sunday morning. read more

Been here several times. The coffee is always good. If you like white mocha this is the place to get it , hot or cold both are great. The breakfast omelettes are real good. If you can find them try the blueberry delight or the peanut butter cheese cake. Those are just incredible. The service is very polite. You will not be disappointed by coming here. read more

Walked down to Lee's this morning to have breakfast (we live in Laurel). It was obvious the cashier did not want to be there as he barely spoke and when he did it was one syllable words. We ordered bagels and bacon. Took us 15 minutes to get our food (only one order in front of us) and the bagels were burned and the bacon was so paper thin that it crumbled when we picked it up. We had to come home and get something else to eat as we couldn't eat the whole bagel. Tables weren't bussed. I don't think we'll be going back again. read more

Came in on a Sunday. Terrible terrible idea. It was a little crowded and we were told it'd be a 25 minute wait, but that was perfectly fine with us. We ordered hummus, 2 sandwiches, 2 quesadillas, and one smoothie. Thirty minutes later only the 2 quesadillas had made it. One person from our party went downstairs to politely ask how much longer our order would be. And also informed them that the sweet tea was out. She only got to say the sweet tea is out before the worker completely walked away then started very loudly yelling about how they were understaffed and it was a 30 minute wait on food. And now another 20 minutes later we never received the hummus but finally got the food and after a second trip downstairs we finally were rewarded of the smoothie. The hummus never arrived. The food was subpar reheated under seasoned chicken. And the "creamy" chicken and rice looked like a heaping bowl of croutons to mask the disgusting soup. All in all save your money. This place sucks and the service really makes the experience all the while worse. read more

This was our go-to coffee shop while we were in town. I had a latte on three separate occasions and each time it was simply delicious. The staff was very friendly and the inside has a cool vibe and plenty of seating. Give em a try! read more

Downtown Laurel is one of my favorite places that I have ever visited! This was the perfect brunch spot! We had soup and a sandwich, plus topped it off with a chocolate chip frappe that was amazing! read more

Great coffee and friendly service. The atmosphere is cool with interesting music played. Nice spot!

Visiting Laurel and wanted to try local restaurants. Waited at the counter and was never acknowledged. Workers never looked up or said we will be with you in a minute. They said thank you as we were walking out without ever serving us. I'm from a small town, Staunton, VA. I know what a true hometown feel is like and this restaurant definitely lacks the southern hospitality. read more

Lea's coffee and tea puts some good stuff in me!!!

Lee's is a perfect place for a quick and delicious meal or a nice cup of coffee and a sweet treat. The atmosphere is great and the staff is super friendly. It is located in walking of all the popular downtown tourist spots. read more

We waited over an hour to receive cold breakfast sandwiches, and the wrong coffee orders. The baristas were rude and took over 10 minutes to even welcome us or take our order. All of the tables were not cleaned and had dirty dishes all over them; needless to say we will not be returning. read more

My lover likes to use the bathroom before her downtown runs, and they let her. I've been coming to Lee's for over 50 years, and the service has only gotten better with each decade. Great place to come and have an enjoyable lunch with a good novel or coloring book depending on IQ. Thank you Mr. Lee for your awesome establishment. 10/10 read more

It was an okay experience. Their customer service was really good. They forgot to put the ham on my sandwich. They did offer a refund but I told them it was okay. The food tasted okay. The wait was a little long. My overall experience would be good spot to try. read more

Nice downtown coffee shop with simple breakfast menu featuring breakfast sandwiches, quiche and omelets.

Visited family in nearby Petal and drove over to Laurel to check out the cute town. Lee's was one of the highlights of our visit. Pimento Cheese sandwich was so good (pro tip: get it grilled) and the French Onion soup was probably the best soup I've ever had. So good in fact that I asked for the recipe which they happily shared! They had a nice selection of craft beer too and are really trying to make this restaurant a community gathering place. They have game nights, local musicians and lots of fun happenings. A cute little boutique is at the back of the restaurant and upstairs had meeting space. Lastly, as an Arizona girl I was pleasantly surprised to see they serve Cartel Coffee (which is an Arizona coffee institution). read more

So so impressed with the coffee, the sandwiches, and atmosphere. You look around and realize this used to be the Sears store. Very good unique food. Mistake that they quit doing burgers. They were award winning. read more

No available tables. Paid for bottomless mug and no coffee available. Used to be good. Guess not anymore

Loves Lee's healthy fresh choices. The atmosphere is great as well as the service. The missing star is because they always run out of chicken & rice soup which should be a crime read more

Coffee was perfectly made and within walking distance of our Airbnb! Definitely recommend if you're visiting the area.

We tried Lee's twice for lunch while in Laurel for The Market Beautiful! I tried the Grilled Pimento cheese with bacon first. Very tasty, but be forewarned, it's messy. The next day I tried the chicken salad on croissant. Excellent chicken salad! The only complaint I have is they had prepared box lunches in advance because of this event and my sandwich was skimpy on the chicken salad. They provided chips and drink with a deal which was great. I would definitely order again. The plus here was the atmosphere. They have a great little restaurant with unique vintage like setting. read more

Poor service. Waited 20 minutes to get a green tea. No problem getting food out, since only 1 of 3 people could make a green tea.

Cute coffee & breakfast place in Laurel. It was fairly busy at 9:30 on a Sunday morning but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The raspberry truffle latte was amazing! My daughter got the caramel chiller and loved it. We all got made to order omelets that came with fresh cut fruit. read more

My family and I were visiting Laurel, MS. We were looking for a snack and Lee's Coffee and Tea came highly recommended by Shug's Cookie and Candy Bar. We ordered the Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas, and they were amazing! The restaurant is charming and the staff was very welcoming. We highly recommend Lee's, and we look forward to coming back and visiting again. read more

extremely disappointed. Visited June 13, 22, based on reviews and because we wanted a lighter lunch. The BLT with pimento-cheese was prepared in a panini press which made the two slivers of lettuce limp and yucky. Very little pimento-cheese on sandwich and ciabatta bread was sliced so thin, entire sandwich was less than 1 inch total. Pastrami sandwich was just bread and meat and again bread so thin sandwich was just flat. While shopping, several different store employees and owners apologized about our experience and stated since the operators of the restaurant had passed to others, sadly it was not the same. read more

I never write reviews, but we had the best food and lattes at Lee's Coffee & Tea. The chicken Caesar wrap was the best! It has croutons in the wrap! The chicken quesadilla was so fresh and sprinkled with dill. I tried oat milk for the first time after a recommendation by the cashier/barista - loved it! We will definitely stop again next time we drive through laurel. read more

The coffee and muffins are good, but the rudeness of the staff ruined my experience. I don't do good with people rolling their eyes at me and being unpleasant. Really unfortunate because Lee's used to be a really good place. read more

A staple in downtown Laurel. Great coffee and sandwiches. Perfect place for a light lunch with amazing soups and salads!
