Manuscript Coffee

Wes is a super cool guy and makes awesome coffee. I’ve made a trip to Mississippi from Va the last two years and one of the highlights of the trip each year has been a cold brew at manuscript coffee. Try it out!

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.

Manuscript Coffee is a nice place! My daughter and I went there while walking around in Laurel and deciding to get a cup of coffee. Wes, the owner and operator, was very friendly and attentive. He politely spoke to us while making us our order and made us feel like we were old friends. The coffee is very good and the atmosphere is quaint and cozy. Definitely a place to frequent and try more options from the menu!

First off, any coffee place with a roaster in plain view is tops for sure. The coffee did not disappoint. It was a good blend with a varied profile. What was lacking was choice? Not only was the food menu scarce (one muffin), but the lack of multiple roasts was a little baffling. I understand scalability but offer pour overs if waste is a concern. Show off those roasts. Good stop, could be a hidden gem.

Decided to drive around Laurel while on a roadtrip home. Found this place on google, looked really good by the reviews and pics. I got a brown sugar latte. It was so good! Not too sweet at all. Barista was very friendly and the whole place is very cozy. Highly recommend. Next time we’re in town, we will come back!

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

The owner is a treat and the customer service is superb! Our drinks came out strong and quick, unlike my 40min wait across the street.

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!
