This is hands down the most AMAZING coffee shop I have ever been to!!! Maurice recommended a wonderful hot cacao drink made from a 3,000 year old recipe. I about died when I took my first sip (in a good way)! All drinks and pastries offered here are of purest intention and energy. The owner Maurice is one of a kind and so incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about his coffee, cacao, and every ingredient used for the drinks and pastries. Majority of the pastries are gluten free and many vegan options. Only the finest coffee beans from Women owned farms are used here. The sugars utilized are date and coconut sugars. Maurice gave me an informative lesson about coffee beans and why light and medium roast coffee cause things like heart palpitations, anxiety and adrenal crashes. He recommended trying only a dark roast for people (like me) sensitive to most coffee and caffeine and explained in detail why that is. I am sad to have only found this shop a day before I leave the area but will be back here in the morning. I wish I could take Maurice and his shop back home with me! Thank you to Maurice and his coffee crew/family!!!

Definitely a great place. I love their cupcakes so much š If you are looking for a place that can remind you of Europe, if you need a cozy place feeling of comfort, patience and safety , please come and try. That's my favorite one now.

I stopped in for coffee and got way more than I expected! I bought a lavender oat milk iced latte and an almond pastry, everything was so delicious. The outside seating area was very peaceful and Rae was extremely helpful :) It felt like fate to be there.
If youāre looking for a peaceful place to become more attune to your inner self and beyond, this is the place to be. I wanted to update my review because I felt like it didnāt do justice.
After I spoke with Rae, they asked if I was spiritual after poking for a crystal location. I told them that I wanted to get more into spirituality and they offered a tarot deck and asked if I wanted to learn.
I am so happy I took them up on it, after reading how to do my reading and translating the cards, I found answers to a lot of questions I had been searching for amongst the universe.
Thank you for providing that service! Customer service went above and way beyond, I couldnāt be more grateful.

Absolutely fantastic and quaint little place. The Mayan hot chocolate was delicious and our server was very knowledgeable and helpful.

This place is a great example of cultural appropriation. Using colonized peopleās religion and culture as decoration and for financial gain is extremely disrespectful. Thereās a difference between appreciation and appropriation. This place definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. But hey, they have oat milk.
Edit: Then you must know about the ongoing conversation of the Mayan cultural and spiritual cacao ceremonies being exploited here in the west as well as the exploitation of Yoga and Hinduism. My research of you and your shop supports my āaccusationsā. But yes, I do not personally know you. Please correct me if Iām wrong and you truly are of Indian, Mayan, and Moroccan descent. Or is the culture and upbringing you speak of, one of appropriating others cultures? I know itās hard to think outside of our own experience and perspective but we always have the choice to learn and choose to be better. We must not merely ātolerateā other cultures but fully respect them rather than using them for selfish intention and financial gain.
And yeah, I do appreciate a great pizza lol (; !! as you have seen from my other reviews, I never leave one star reviews. But Iāll always stand up for what I believe in!

The best coffee experience in Gulfport and donāt forget the amazing desserts! Great people watching sitting right in the center of town.

Sumitra is a great place to get coffee and espresso. Pretty decors and cool vibes. They have snacks like protein bars and other sweets. They have CBD smokes and CBD edibles. Dog friendly place and friendly staffs. On a good corner and good outdoor patio. Met the owner and he was really nice.

Hands down my favorite spot to get coffee and vegan desserts. They have spicy chocolate coffee and they have different cacao blends to choose from. People on Keto rejoice, they can substitute with almond milk too. I didn't think almond milk would taste good but I was pleasantly surprised. The interior is such a tranquil space to catch up with work or a friend. Love it!

Shared an Americana Hot Chocolate. It was super rich and chocolaty. It could have been a little warmer but delicious just the same. Nice decor and atmosphere. Server was very nice.
