Cups

Cups is by far my favorite coffee. This location (like all the others) is friendly and quick. I live in California and those people love Starbucks for some reason. Maybe I’m just spoiled, but this coffee is simply the best.

This Cups location needs some work. The person that took our order was nice; however, the person making the coffee was coughing everywhere, not washing her hands, and had an unclean appearance. The store was filthy! The counters, tables, and chairs were not wiped. The chalkboard menu even had splatters of food/​coffee on it. The floor behind the counter was filthy and coffee beans were scattered all over. We also had to wait about ten minutes for our order. It wasn’t even that busy. :(

Ordering is kind of awkward unless you already know what you want. There is plenty of seating, but not enough for the amount of people who decide to stick around and want a comfortable spot to sit. Great environment, staff, and coffee.

People in Mississippi just go googoo-​gaga over this place and I’m really not sure why. Since I’m out of luck as far as SBUX is concerned when I am here visiting family, I’m pretty much forced to use Cups to get my iced coffee fix. Now, there is a SBUX inside of Target, but it is awful, awful, awful… I will never return there.
The first time I was here, I ordered my iced coffee exactly like I do at SBUX. Well, I tried to. The sizes are different and I wasn’t sure of how many pumps to use of the caramel and toffee syrup. What I ended up with was WAY too sweet. The cup was about the same size, so I figured the pumps would be about the same. Not so. The next visit, I had them put way less syrup and I at least ended up with something I could drink.
The barista seemed annoyed with me because I wasn’t familiar with their sizes. Excuse me for having to take a moment to try to do the conversions and she wasn’t even attempting to help me at all. She just stood there glaring at me as if to say «would you hurry up.»
They do have plenty of comfortable seating here with free wifi. Seems like a good place to sit down with your laptop if you need to get some work done.
If you order one of their regular drinks straight off the menu, maybe it’s fine? I don’t advise going in here with a specialty order if you’re from out of town and are a SBUX person.
It’s also hard to find parking close to the entrance because it’s in a shopping center and there’s no drive-​thru. If you’re in a hurry, this could really be a problem.
3 stars why? Because it’s my only option.
To the State of Mississippi: Please catch the hell up and build some SBUX!

Finally! Glad to finally be getting around to writing this review. I visited Jackson, MS back in September. I am a Californian! Going to Mississippi was no easy task. One of my main concerns aside from the humidity and being the South was the quality of their coffee. Coming from a place like San Francisco where coffee is essentially at every corner whether it be a Peets Coffee, Blue Bottle or a Mom and Pops coffee places I am a fan of coffee and I am a snob about it!
My first day in Mississippi I spent most of my time looking for coffee, the humidity did not phase me! I needed my fix! At the hotel that I was staying one of the workers recommend I tried Cups. I went to Cups and just the atmosphere shocked me. I felt like I was back in my beautiful cold and foggy San Francisco.
When I got to the register I asked the Barista what he recommended and he recommended a Blondie! Blondie was a great coffee, even though I am not a huge Caramel fan, but I thought would give it a try. For the five days that I was in Jackson I went to Cups twice a day.
Quinton (I believe this is how you spell his name) was such an amazing barista, but was also really helpful in giving me an insight of Mississippi. Really enjoyed speaking with him.
I doubt I will be back to Cups since I don’t have any plans to visit MS anytime soon, but for those of us who are coffee lovers and are in MS I highly recommend you give Cups a try! :)

This is one of the better Cups in the area in my opinion. When I’m running errands in the Flowood area I enjoying stopping by for a hazelnut latte or a nice iced coffee. It’s a great place to read a book or get some work done too since the noise level can be anywhere from quiet to average. Also, the employees are always super friendly.

Nice music, nice people, nice atmosphere and great coffee. I got a tasty iced blondie espresso and I’m very happy. I typically get the blondie done in almost every way depending on my mood.

Back in town, came back here for a drink and noticed something none of the other reviews have mentioned. Has anyone noticed their painted tables? Each one is unique, from a dinosaur to butterflies to flowers to a hut on an island to a scenery of Cape Town. So awesome!

This place made a decent cortado, they could have executed it a littles better. The espresso overpowered the drink. And it took forever to place my order and have it completed. Thank god it wasn’t 8 am and I was on my way to work. Pick up the pace people.

The coffee is wonderful and the staff is friendly but watch out for the locals… Apparently they have dibs on seats and lord forbid an out-​of-​towner come in and not know the rules. We literally had a lady walk up to us and tell us to move… FYI we did.

This is an awesome coffee and way better than Starbucks

Let me say that I am NOT a regular coffee drinker. For some reason the coffee lingo intimidates me and I usually feel rushed and unsure the rare times I go to a coffee shop.
Thankfully the staff here is understanding and willing to offer suggestions for the non-​coffee drinker.
I will return.

When I decided to go to Cups to get some work done, I was hoping for more of a family room feel as you can get at some coffee house’s. This felt like a chain coffee house. I still stayed and got work done, but it didn’t draw me back.
Their coffee selection is good and they make a delicious latte. But there was no other food, not even snacks so bring your own snacks for studying.
They do have free wifi, you must ask for the password. There are plenty of tables and a couple comfyish chairs.
Would rather find a less-​chain feeling coffee house for the future, but this works in a pinch.

Everything here was so-​so. Not worth the detour if you are on a road trip, just stop and get gas station coffee.

Nice & cozy little coffe & espresso house. The Baristas are always friendly and quick. Iced Americano for my lazy mornings…

Excellent coffee and specialty drinks! Some of the best I have ever had.

everything my wife and i have tried here is excellent! always smooth, never bitter — we have something from cups 2 – 4 times/​week.

Cups is awesome. Lots of individual seating; they roast their own beans; they have plenty of tea; and they have super creative drinks. I love their cookies and cream iced coffee. It is so delicious. If you like plain coffee or tea, need a study or meeting place, or want to try something unique, go to Cups. I know this is a chain, but it has such an independent feel and this location rocks! What’s with the styrofoam cups?

I’ve visited here several times to study and have received great drinks and friendly service every time. I do bring headphones to block out external noise, though. I love many of their seasonal drinks, as well as the Cup’s originals, like Blondies, Turtles, etc. The iced chai latte is a great non-​caffeinated drink, too!
