Cat Island Coffeehouse Gulfport

Oh honey, if you’re ever wanderin’ through Gulfport with a hankerin’ for something warm, welcoming, and downright delightful, do yourself a favor and swing by Cat Island Coffee House. Nestled right along the coast, this charming little gem is part cozy coffee shop, part book lover’s dream—and all heart. The moment you walk in, it feels like a hug from your favorite aunt. Soft chatter, the rich scent of espresso in the air, and books lining the shelves like old friends waiting to be picked up again. The folks here clearly take pride in every detail, from the food to the atmosphere to the kind smiles behind the counter. Now let me tell y’all about that dirty chai—mercy, it was good. They work a little magic with a pinch of brown sugar, smoothing out that second shot of espresso so it’s rich without being too bold. It’s got that perfect balance of spice and sweet, like a southern belle with a little sass. But the real star of my morning? That bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. Lord have mercy. The croissant was light and flaky, like it whispered sweet nothings before it melted in your mouth. The bacon? Crispy and full of flavor. And that provolone cheese, melted just right over a perfectly cooked fried egg, pulled it all together like a gospel choir on a Sunday morning. This little spot has quickly stolen my heart. Between the good food, thoughtful touches, and soul-soothing vibes, Cat Island Coffee House is the kind of place that makes you wanna linger a little longer. I’ll be back, sugar—and next time, I’m bringin’ friends.

Southern hospitality at its finest. The employees are all so courteous, and make anyone who walks in feel like an old friend. Their book collection offers something for all readers, the coffee is delicious, and I love that they put free little waters all around for their customers to take.

The food is great and the people are awesome. I go often and enjoy the atmosphere, coffee and food. Free coffee refills and they bring you a glass with ice and bottled water when you sit down. Highly recommended.

Everything you want in a cozy coffee house. The staff are all warm and welcoming. The Mississippi Mocha is perfect, as is the amazing buttery croissant. I chose sausage, egg, and chedar. It was flaky gooey perfection. The book collection is refreshingly diverse and has a little something for everyone, and yes, you are welcome to read through one while you enjoy your food and beverages.

Cute and cozy coffee shop. Love that we can browse the books as we wait for our food. The lunch sandwiches are yummy and big! Great value for the price. My daughter and I normally split one and it is plenty for both of us. Their breakfast sandwiches are also delicious and a good portion size. Their coffee is the best around and their customer service is unmatched. Definitely worth a stop in!
