    Loved the pulled pork bowl. It was overflowing with buttery smooth grits, tender pulled pork, and with the added egg it was perfection. Their menu is small but somehow offers something for everyone. We waited 20-30 minutes to put an order in on an early Saturday morning ~10am, food was made pretty quick, about 15 minutes. Ample seating inside and outside. Coffee was really good, there was a special menu item, Himalayan cardamom latte, didn't get much of the cardamom flavor but coffee quality was solid. Definitely coming back. Parking lot is kind of tight but there's ample street parking.

    Cheers

    Wonderful Coffee Shop. I walked here both mornings from the inn. Super Friendly Staff. Great working space if needed. Lots of delicious options.

    There was a line when we walked up but it went quickly and we got our food less than 5 mins after ordering. Avocado toast was good and B&G was excellent. Both portions were generous.

    I have been here several times on my vacation to the area and really enjoy their coffee and their breakfast. Everything always takes so gourmet and the place is a local staple in the area. Should you encounter a long line that you have to patiently wait through, it's worth it. They have a variety of drinks coffee, hot and cold. A various offering under menu for those who may be vegan or just like lighter options. Their jam is the jam so try some on those great biscuits. They have some seating inside but alot outside on all sides of the front. Great for people watching as those golf carts go by. Be back soon...

    Even the pups love it!

    Mockingbird Cafe is one of those places that reminds you why a little wait is always worth it. There's usually a line to the door, and for good reason. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the ingredients are fresh, and the coffee is truly outstanding. Decades of service shine through in how smoothly and efficiently everything runs--even during the busiest moments. You're never rushed, yet everything flows. It's clear this place is built on care, experience, and a whole lot of love for what they do. A local gem that never disappoints.

    Our food was great! We ordered the bird plate and the chicken and waffles. Coffee was also tasty! The staff were friendly. Seems like a popular place!

    Matcha latte

    I am disgusted with the art drawn on my daughters cup. We went in today for matcha lattes and when we got home, we noticed a phallic symbol on my daughter's cup. Today is Christmas Eve, and as I understand Mockingbird to be on the opposite spectrum politically, I never in a million years would have imagined their employees to be so blatantly disrespectful-especially during the birth of our savior. I will ensure my friends and family are made aware of this hilarious "joke".

    Irish coffee

    This place certainly doesn't need another good review, yet here we are! The Focaccia is perfect breakfast after a walk on the beach (we did split because it's very filling). The staff is so fun as well, no judgement on the Irish coffee my weekend had started so why not!

    Hubby ordered the Bird breakfast. I got biscuits & gravy with chicken tenders.

    Mockingbird Cafe is a great spot to grab a bite to eat or a tea or coffee to keep you going. After a lot of exploring and shopping in Bay St. Louis, we stopped for a late lunch. The café is in a house converted to café--really cute and casual with seating inside and out. Place your order at the bar and your food is delivered to your table. Service was a bit slow the day we were there, but the veggie Burger I ordered was great. The patty is made in house and was delicious! The lavender tea I ordered was so refreshing with a slight taste/scent of lavendar. I hope I get a chance to eat there again before I leave BSL!

    Dirty chai..yum!

    I am shocked that as many times as I've visited Bay St. Louis I had not eaten at the Mockingbird Café, but it is AMAZING! From the original wooden floors, the fun art covered walls, to the delicious food and drinks. I ate there with my husband and son last week. I ordered a dirty chai and the meat breakfast burrito with sriracha mayo and salsa. My husband ordered a macchiato. My son had a scrambled egg and fruit cup. The dirty chai, which is chai tea with espresso is HEAVENLY! The breakfast burrito was stuffed full, fresh, hot, flavorful, and enough for two people. My husband loved that they knew how to make an original macchiato. My son ate everything on his plate without hesitation. The drinks were made within 3 minutes and the food was out in about 6 minutes. It was so delicious that we ate breakfast there two mornings in a row. Rating from F to A+++, I give it an A+++! We will definitely be back.

    Had a really nice time. I can corroborate what other reviewers have said already. It's a small…read morelocal shop with wonderful breakfast. I had an omelet and grits. Very nicely prepared. The coffee was fresh and hot and tasty. No complaints. I had breakfast but if the lunch is half as good then you won't be disappointed. Prices were reasonable for what I got. Be aware, it is a small place and it's good so they are busy. It was crowded but the tables were turning quickly and I didn't have to wait long. The ladies working were all very friendly and were trying hard to accommodate everyone. They don't have any 2-top tables or a counter so I ended up sharing a larger table with some folks who sat at the other end. Not a problem for me, but some people don't like that. It's tucked into a small shopping strip in plain view of the road but still you might miss it driving by. Parking was easy even though they were busy. I am looking forward to going back to try some different menu items. Highly recommended.

    Sunrise is a small restaurant, 9 tables, tucked into an older, small business strip. Parking is…read moreshared with other tenants, but is adequate. We arrived on a busy Monday morning at 10am. The restaurant was full, but we were seated within 10 minutes. Coffee and water was quickly delivered and our order was taken. My youngest ordered strawberry pancake's and scrambled eggs, my oldest son ordered 3 egss with sausage, bacon and hash browns. I ordered a cheese omelette with sausage and bacon, grits and toast. My daughter ordered eggs and hash browns with toast. We all very much enjoyed. Will definitely return this trip. Service was excellent. Price was affordable and well worth the visit. All agree this was a great breakfast!
