Mississippi is full of southern charm, tasty food, and… mockingbirds. This cute little restaurant contains all three of these Mississippi attributes. Mockingbird Cafe is a must for food, coffee, and good vibes; with a bit of local history rolled into it. It is the go-to spot for anyone in and around the Bay Saint Louis area.

Mockingbird Cafe was established in 2006, but the building it lives in is part of history, dating back to 1868.

Also referred to as “the ‘bird," this cafe was hatched from the storm that was Hurricane Katrina.

Jason Giaccone/Google Local After the hurricane hit in 2005, Mockingbird Cafe was created to provide a safe space for everyone and to bring light in dark times. It has been known as the Living Room of the Bay, and it goes without saying that the ‘bird was and still remains, the calm after the storm.

Breakfast, or brunch if you’re a later riser, is a must-have at the ‘bird. With eggs served in a variety of different ways, chicken and waffles, and fluffy baked goods, there’s sure to be something you didn’t know you were craving.
