'Annie you look like a pirate.' After all my time living in MS I should have learnt that cutting edge Spanish fashion does not translate well in small town Mississippi. 'Don't you know this label?' 'No gurl I don't, all I know is all you need is an eye patch and a parrot. You will get your behind stared at if you go out looking like that.' 'I ain't scared.' 'Gurl you crazy.' 'So.' I found a great café in small town America that accepts the crazys. This is how to relax on my holiday, sitting out in the blanket of humidity, sipping a coffee and looking out over the Yazoo river and at the river boat that chugs up and down. So many visual treats whilst blues music plays from the speakers, this is my kind of place. Coffee 61 has free wi-fi, decent coffee, that Southern hospitality and a mish-mash of Southern art as its part of an art gallery. My personal favourite part of the café is their notice about the lights in loo. They are sensor activated to save energy. They kindly note that if the lights go out, 'Don't worry, just wave your arms around like you just don't care.' The folks round here are polite enough to talk about my crazy pirate shorts when I am out of earshot, well at least they try... 'I think she is European or something.' 'Mmmhmm, they sure is different over there.'

Stumbled in here on a road trip from Pittsburgh to New Orleans and am really glad I did. We were beat from an 8 hour drive from Memphis and spent about 2 hours in here relaxing. Route 61 is small, quaint, and decorated with local art, which by the way is really good. The lighting is soft and there are plenty of comfy seats to lounge around in and outlets along the wall to plug in your laptop. They serve all the normal coffee shop products, but the real reason to come here is to experience the vibe. It has a little bit of a hippy feel which surprised me in the deep south, but Route 61 and my entire road trip has made me realize the American South is more than just a bunch of cotton fields and really has a great vibe that all Americans should experience at some point in their lives.

Hubby's large house coffee!

Well well well, found this hidden gem from you crazy Yelpers ... I was so looking forward to getting some java in a cool local atmosphere... After I maneuvered my way through the smokers I entered the library style java joint... Only to not be greeted by the grumpy gal behind the counter...no greeted her and asked her if she would like to take my order.. She was not helpful, she was agitated by my questions.. The menu above was vague so I asked about a particular drink and that really caused some attitude.. Yikes! The locals in there were not friendly either... No Hellos or smiles.... Geeze! Drink some more coffee! This will not be a future stop for me again... I shoulda just hit up Starbucks! Sorry to break it to ya but this place was not a good start to my day :(

Right in downtown Vicksburg--no parking lot, but there's *always* parking spots available right close, often right in front.

I started working here about 2 months ago. It is the best job I have had, hands down. The owner,…read moreJasmine, is a complete sweetheart and cares for her customers and employees. I have felt at home with this job and the customers it brings. I have so many regulars that love the drinks and sometimes likes to try new experiments and things. The pastries?? They are so GOOD and hand made by Jasmine, herself. We also offer Keto and Vegan pastries, and offer non-dairy products. We even have QUICHE !!

Cute little coffee shop. My favorite color is purple and I love owls so they get bonus points for…read morethat and the fact that they have paper straws! It is located inside ERDC HQ next to the cafeteria. The coffee is good (I usually get soy milk but the soy tasted... different than what I am used to. I realize it might be a Vicksburg thing and not this particular location), the baked goods are yummy (I tried plenty of them) and the smoothie is very refreshing! I also added a shot of Green Food to my smoothie which I was surprised they had. I am only in town for a short time but back home, I usually do a shot of Green Food in the morning. I did not pack it with me so I have been going without it. I can definitely feel a difference with the energy level and it just feels good especially with the amount of deep fried food I have been eating while in Vicksburg. My only wish is that there was a seating/communal area but given the location and such, it makes sense that they do not. Glad to have this gem so close to the office!

Wow!!! Such a cute little hole in the wall spot…read more When you pull up don't be scared of the outside, this place is a southern gem! Mallory is the owners daughter and absolutely makes this place an incredible experience. From her friendly attitude to her great insights she makes you feel like you're right at home. Now to the food, I ordered the fried green tomato BLT with avocado plus a side of fries and baked beans and it was all so good!! I'd highly recommend this place and will be back if in the area!

This place is amazing…read more I have been here several times on y trips to Vicksburg and Port Gibson. It is part roadside shack, vegetable seller, and food spot. Until this last trip I had never had the sandwich that made them famous. Now that I have, I can say that this is a must stop. Heck, it may be worth a drive if you are within an hour or two. The only thing you need to know is that you must order a fried green tomato BLT. In my entire life I have never intentionally ordered a BLT. To me, this is the most dumb idea for a sandwich I have ever heard of. Until now. This is quite possibly one of teh most perfect sandwiches I have ever had. It is so great that I wanted a second when I was done but it definitely would not have been as good later as it was fresh. Amazing. Service was as friendly as one should expect from a roadsie shack such as this. The one worker took our order, made it, delievered it, and gave us some pork rinds with their homemade hot sauce to try. That was a solid thing to do as it made me buy two of their hot sauces stored in old coke bottles. Just come here. Order the BLT. Thank me later.
