This place is run by friendly folks. They keep a few gluten free goodies around for folks like me. And their coffee's great.

The product is good enough, but I don't know how the service could be any slower. I plan to never wait in line that long for coffee again. In my opinion, they need to try multitasking.

Man, we love coffee places that have character!! And this place did not disappoint!! Four of us ordered iced (decaf) coffee...four diff flavors. None disappointed. Think Goldilocks here-we tried mama Byrd, papa Byrd, baby Byrd and papa mocha. The vanilla lavender (mama Byrd) was the sneaky front runner for my teen that she almost didn't even try. (Although the papa mocha was delicious and my pick for fave). Cute ambiance, cute little red coffee trailer, cute park to sit in and enjoy. Yummy coffee. Will be back!!

This is the best place to get a good cup of coffee. Latte and related specialty java drinks. It is located NEXT. To s shell gas station. Picnic tables. Covered outside seating and a nice big grassy area for the kids to run around in while you enjoy a beverage. The people are friendly and know the area.

Awesome place! This was my first stop while riding my bicycle on the Natchez Trace from Nashville, eventually finishing in New Orleans. The cinnamon scone and Papa Byrd mocha were the perfect pair for the chilly morning ride. Total distance from the Trace was just over one mile and was well worth it. Highly recommended!
