I tried this coffee at a friend’s house in Nashville and had to have it!!! I’m very particular about my coffee so I ordered some as soon as I got home. I have the Dark Thirty and Brazil Roast and both are INCREDIBLE!! I would’ve given 5 stars, but the shipping took over 3 weeks (2 separate orders), which is pretty crazy. I’m definitely hooked, and love supporting small businesses, but really hope they can do something about their shipping time. :) :)

A total gem! This is the cutest coffee place and they have great coffee. Wes (the owner) was so kind and was such a pleasure to chat with. I had a cappuccino and a cookies and cream cookie and it made my day. Also got a free sticker which is a plus. Highly recommend this place

Excellent espresso. This is the best coffee you are going to get in almost all of Mississippi, on par with espresso I've had in specialty coffee shops in major cities like San Francisco and Chicago.

Manuscript Coffee is undoubtedly among the top coffee shops in South Mississippi, if not in the entire Gulf South region. Wes, the owner/operator of Manuscript, has created an amazing environment in his shop that adds so much to the overall aesthetic of Downtown Laurel. Wes’ roasting skills are unparalleled, and they come out in his various roasts. You will not regret making Manuscript a part of your daily morning routine!

In the heart of downtown Laurel, Ms. This code house carries such a beautiful vibe inside. It's just quiet enough to carry a conversation but loud enough to keep it from being a library. The coffee they serve is very fair on pricing and absolutely delicious.

We stopped here while passing through Laurel and I LOVE the atmosphere! The people are nice, the drinks are delicious! My husband got an iced mocha with brown sugar and I got an iced Chai latte and this drink is the PERFECT balance of chai and milk! The set-up was great for my 2-year-old because it was well-laid-out. The plants also add a nice touch, and combined with the clean rustic aesthic and simplistic design, it makes for a warm, inviting, and refreshing feel, with a comforting vibe.
