Way better than Sonic or Cookout for ice cream AND it is a local business! My favorite is the "Bop's Favorite" which is strawberries and chocolate flakes (I pair with vanilla base.)

Drive thru and limited parking spaces. You can also order at the walk up window!

The…read morewait is never long but the availability of my favorite bagel (pumpernickel) is sadly hit or miss :( Dolce sells ice cream but their main business is coffee and breakfast/lunch options. If that doesn't interest you there is a fridge with canned beverages, etc too. The ambience is coffee shop chic and has an average noise level. For a small town I find pricing to be high but that's the Starkville Premium I suppose :/ Regarding bagels, I find the amount of cream cheese to be quite excessive which I suppose is a better "problem" than too little, but seriously... it could easily provide cover 3-5 bagels!! 1 star deduction for inconsistent bagel availability. Tip: best bagels hands down (flow in from NYC)

I asked for it to be toasted but the bagel showed no signs of being toasted and was still cold in the center. For $3.00 I was expecting a real NY style bagel, not whatever that was. Kroger makes a better closer to authentic bagel than this place. I was excited when I found out about this place, but terrible customer service and the lackluster bagel made sure I will never return.

And they…read more are still in the soft opening phase, I expect things will be running more smoothly very soon. The young woman who waited on me has only been here for a day and needed extra assistance, as we all do when we begin a new job, nevertheless she was super pleasant and was happy to find out any information that I asked of her. The ambience is more formal (dark, chic and modern) than the hippie independent coffee shop vibe that existed when the space was 929 coffee. Pricing is on par with Starkville (higher end of average), and there was a selection of baked goods and at least six different kinds of biscuits (classic, sausage/cheese, confetti, lemon-blueberry, peach-brown sugar, and orange-cranberry). YES, they serve lunch after 11AM (sandwiches and salads) , so I'll DEFINITElY be back to try them out and do an updated review. I'm met the owner, Matthew, who was like a hummingbird going to and fro troubleshooting, inquiring about satisfaction, and educating folks about their new coffee from Austin, Texas (Cuvee) which is smooth and delightful. He is super enthusiastic and was fun to chat with. I noted three BIG improvements: 1. the outside tile entry is finally leveled and fixed; 2. the bathroom faucets are upgraded - yay!!; and 3. the menu is now on a large TV screen on the wall and to the left of the register. This can be updated to notate when things are sold out and provide explanations for coffee options. The font size could be larger (maybe bold print?) for easier viewing. As with the former business I look forward to spending many more afternoons on the shaded front porch here people watching and reading . Ideas for improvements/future consideration: 1. mounted fans for warmer months to cool patrons on the porch and keep pesky flies away; and 2. mounted heaters to make outdoor seating more comfortable in much cooler months. I look forward to seeing what else Matthew will come up with (hoping he'll bring more freshly made breakfasts a la 929 style... sure do miss their food...) and wishing High Ground success. ** I didn't venture downstairs so cannot comment on the vibe there.

We did Franklin to French Camp along the Trace and there's not much directly on the Trace, aside from Tupelo. French Camp has food, gas, hardware/auto parts. But, Lost Gringos was a real treat! Espresso drinks, flavored teas, drip coffee and Italian sodas. I think they had at least 8 flavors of scoop ice cream. I had to have an lunchtime espresso and then went back later for an affogato. If want a hot or cold drink, this is the place. Interesting travel theme decorations; be sure to check out the loft. Also, blazing fast WiFi for a small town. I got about 100 Mbps, up and down. This was a great help, as I have Verizon and had no roaming data in the French Camp area.
