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!

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!

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.

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 has a great location and a really chill atmosphere. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and made the visit enjoyable. Drinks were great and the whole place had a relaxed vibe that made it easy to hang out for a bit. Honestly the best London fog I’ve ever had. Definitely a spot worth stopping by if you’re in the area. Highly recommend.
