Strange Brew Coffeehouse

Strange Brew is a must when travelling to or through the Starkville area. Wonderful coffee and home baked goodies. Do yourself a favor and get an "iced albino squirrel" from this locally owned establishment....you won't regret it.

Been going to Strange Brew since they opened, and was honestly a little worried about them when Starbucks moved in ACROSS the flippin' STREET! This turned out to be a good thing, though, as Strange Brew has truly upped their game. Last time I was inside (I usually drive thru), I noticed they were renovating, getting rid of their early 2000s brightly colored decor for more subdued colors, lighting, counters, and furniture. They've also overhauled their pastry menu and even started offering homemade popsicles. I am impressed at their drive to stay on the cutting edge, as their coffee has always been top notch, and the owner really is one of the nicest guys I've ever met. (And no, he's not my best friend, nor is he paying me to review!) The only reason I give four stars instead of five is that sometimes the employees ignore the drive-thru window for a ridiculous amount of time, and about once a month, one barista or another puts a small lid on my medium cup, resulting in a torrent of coffee all over my clothes and car because the lid is vital to the structural integrity of the cup. (I WAS motivated to scrub out my car after this happened last Saturday, so I guess you could say it still turned into a win.) Also, if you care about such things, SB is one of the few places in town that sells ethanol-free gasoline.

Me and my daughter love strange brew! They have the best coffee and a ton of options for everybody to choose from.

Always had friendly, fast service and amazing selection and quality. A little pricey, but so is anything in Starkville. If I’m gonna spend 4-6 dollars on a coffee, strange brew is always my first choice.

One off the worst coffees I've had. I got an iced coffee and my husband got one of the specialty coffee drinks. Both were like water with a hint of coffee flavor.. and just as expensive as Starbucks. So, if you really actually like coffee, do yourself a favor and go across the street to Starbucks.

Best coffee in Starkville and it’s not even close. Awesome people, top to bottom, which makes the experience that much better.

My favorite morning go-to!

Don't waste precious taste buds on coffee that's not Strangebrew coffee, it gives LIFE!! Cannot go wrong with any of the specialty coffees, Albino Squirrel is the ultimate combination of happiness.

Real sweet servers and real fast

3 drinks and food, all good.
