We ordered the baked French Toast and the casserole. The baked French toast was similar to bread pudding and was FANTASTIC. The casserole was a little dry but was still delicious. Honestly they should have gravy on the side to pour over it and that would be perfection. We also had two iced coffees that were full of flavor and yummy! The atmosphere is very family friendly and welcoming! Very charming place. It was busy but they were still very very attentive! read more

When I go back to a place the very next day - I know I really liked it. I'll get to the coffee - but lets talk about the actual place. It used to be a house. Well, I guess it STILL is a house, but now it's been converted into a business. There's a couple of different rooms and I love that one day I worked out of the bedroom - the next from the living room. Head down the hall, and peek your head into the various rooms, you might meet some cool folks - or find an empty spot to plop down. The first day I shared a room with video game programmers planning their game, two gal pals gossipping and a student. The next day another student - and what I figure is a writer or poet, feverishly scribbling down words on paper and then reading them back to himself. Awesome mix of folks - all young, hip and mainly creative types. Now - the staff. I had the same lovely young lady take care of me both days. She remembered my face - and even remembered I liked half whole half skim milk! SUPER NICE and she might be a manager - totally forgot her name...and I'm usually FAIRLY good with names. I had the Sneaky B - a frozen, whipped, sweet concoction that was amazing! The second day it was a lot colder so I opted for a Marble Espresso - white chocolate, dark chocolate, espresso! Delicious and gave me the perfect afternoon pick me up! All around I can't say enough great things about this place. Come crack a laptop open - or a book - or bring a friend to chat - or interview someone - or whatever. And that's not to underestimate how SOLID the coffee is. It was exceptional! read more

The food was cold and greasy, and the service was worse. I was told that it wad not the employee's fault that the menu was not correct and that I did not get what I ordered -the implication seemed to be that I was at fault for ordering in the first place. I will not be returning, and I advise all other potential customers to take their business to one of the many other establishment in the area - somewhere that am8ght ctually care about their customers and that does not serve them crap and then blame them for the poor quality of the product that they had the misfortune to pay for. read more

Great ambiance, kids room in the back, phone call booths AND GREAT COFFEE. Should try their charcoal Lattee it's guuuuud!

Super tasty! Enjoyed a dirty chai iced, a matcha mint chip frappe, and a chai frappe. They have sandwiches and pastries too, but we were too full this time. The drinks were great, and the lactose challenged person greatly appreciated the almond milk option. Staff was also super helpful and patient- important when you are trying out a new coffee spot. The outside seating and available dog bowl were nice additions. Will definitely be back! read more

This coffee shop is so good! Not only does the food and coffee taste good, but the place is beautiful and very aesthetic! It is a great place to go and do homework at as well! read more

The Bean - Back Room - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

See all

No frills, high on make-yourself-at-home. Wi-Fi is reliable. Furniture is from the rescue shelter, and the art is college-hip. Coffee is good, not great: cold-brewed is a little watery for my tastes. But there are few better places to meet people to talk (there are rooms that you can camp in), or to read or to work on your novel or whatever. It's quiet and the music choice isn't offensively cloying. Could do with a seminar on the perfect brew, but otherwise the best home office in the Fondren area, and perfect for late night study groups. Edited to add: last time I went, Music was a problem. It was LOUD, in every room. A hundred bucks at Radio Shack and they could put volume control in every room so they can take advantage of the great spaces. I needed to confer with someone, and it was frustrating. read more

We love the bean! It's been one of our favorite spots lately. Great place for an evening cocktail that isn't your typical loud bar. The atmosphere is chill and relaxed. They also offer a great selection of little snacks to go with your drinks. When they have live music too that's always fun. The breakfast potatoes are hella dope and I would eat them daily if I could. read more

Delicious coffee and such a cool morning vibe. The food looked wonderful! I'm planning to make a point to give their breakfast or lunch a try. read more

Their iced mocha with oat milk is hands down the best iced coffee in the area. Other coffee shops can be inconsistent based on who is making it - theirs is a hit every time. read more

I don't do review often so listen up: This place is rocking. I've been coming here for several years and I would say it's the best all around coffee shop in Jackson / Jackson metro area. The new ownership has transformed this place into a really nice establishment and should be very proud of the business they run. Coffee is really good but I would say the consistency between baristas is not as good as it should be. The food here is noteworthy: pastry counter is phenomenal. Regular entrees are just fantastic. Employees are very kind here and it is a good atmosphere. The decor is very impressive and clean. And all this remains true whilst operating in Jackson city limits. Very well done even in difficult operating environment. read more

Definitely a Jackson gem. This place fits right in with Fondren and is an exceptional location to enjoy coffee, get some studying done, or just hang out. The porch area is great, although I strongly dislike that customers and workers are able to smoke on the porch. And there's usually some cigarette butts lying around. The inside is quite large, which one might not expect looking at it from the street. There is ample room inside for both large and small groups. There's a great atmosphere inside and out. The coffee is superb. I usually opt for the lattes, which are not as sweet as some other places (unless you ask for it to be). I like that you can actually taste espresso and not just sugar and cream. The carawhite and peppermint bark are two of my favorites. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Overall, excellent place but 4/5 due to cigarette butts on the porch and the fact they are passing out free lung cancer to their customers whether you want it or not.. read more

The Bean - One of the back rooms with some awesome art. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Sneaky beans is a great place in Fondren to hideout and have a up of coffee while planning your bedroom style on Pinterest. That's what I do at least. The baristas are helpful and very good at their job. They offer coffee, beer, and snacks but I've only had the coffee. There are a couple different rooms to sit in which is nice. Also outdoor seating for the nice days. What makes sneaky beans special is during events like Fondren's First Thirsday they have performances on their porch so it's a cool place to grab a beer in the afternoon as well. read more

THEY HAVE AWSOME COFFEE!! THERE FOOD IS ALSO AMAZING! I tried the coconut cold brew and it was absolutely amazing!! Best cold brew I have ever had!! read more

This place has awesome breakfast and coffee drinks! I try to visit local coffee shops to support small businesses, and this is definitely one to keep coming back to. They were very busy the Saturday AM that I went, but they kept up with the pace nicely. All the workers were very kind. read more

This is definitely a hangout for the pals and pups! The menu is filled with options and variations. I had the butterbeer latte (to satisfy my HP love) my first go around, then the monkey mocha. Both of these drinks are AMAZING! I want to make note of the slices of banana in the monkey mocha, definitely a surprise but yummy! The service is friendly and quick, and there was only one barista! The price is average for a typical cup of goodness. The shop is inside an old home, so the sitting space is split into rooms that are great to explore. There are couches and stools and comfy chairs, then there's the patio/porch area! The bathroom is a bit of a "pass" for me, but I didn't come for the bathroom. If you have allergies or an issue with dog hair choose your seat wisely, as the pups are allowed to lounge on the couches and chairs with their pals. There are dog treats and water bowls available for the puppies and they enjoy people watching just like the best of us. Parking is on the street, but I didn't have any issues finding a spot. If by chance you have to park a little further down the strip, the walk is still enjoyable because of all the little shops along the way. read more

I love this coffee shop. Super cozy with lots of separate rooms to relax in. I go here a lot if I feel like reading and I'll be there for hours and not realize it. The coffee is great (I get a cappuccino) and the m&m cookies are so delicious. Staff is super nice and chill too. read more

This place is in an old house, and as such there are different rooms to hang out or study in. I've been here twice now, once to grab a beer and leave to walk around downtown and the other time to study. Today I had the iced chai (pretty good, a bit milky) and a bagel (nothing fancy, tastes like one you make at home). The staff are very friendly. There's light, alternative, chill music playing in the front room but not in the back rooms. You can hear it still but it's not disturbing. It's quite nice as background music actually. The tables to study on are a bit small if you're going to sit with a friend. The place though is funky and chill. Hipsters love it. There's a little patio out front... usually with some hippies on it playing their guitar. Overall, a nice place to study. Good luck on your exam! read more

Great coffee, even better environment! The location is actually much larger on the inside than it looks on the outside, and is the perfect place to get away and study. The inside is essentially like a house and has lots of separated rooms, which makes it a great place to get away if you prefer the quiet. They have awesome muffins too! read more

The barista was not friendly and immediately before I even got to counter said it'll be a few minutes.. there was like one other customer there. I ordered an iced cold brew and avocado toast. The iced cold brew is really good. The avocado toast is a little bit much. I wasn't expecting there to be thaaat much balsamic on the toast, kinda overwhelmed it. Not a ton of avocado on there either. Otherwise it was good. I would not come here if I wanted a quick coffee and breakfast because nothing about this place is quick. But overall the outdoor seating is nice and it's a cute little breakfast place read more

All college students gather- this is one for f the best spots for a study date or meet up with friends. The quirky coffee shop is in the heart of Fondren right next to Walkers. It's customers are the friendly people in the neighborhood. The coffee is always hot and fresh and you'll often run into familiar faces on your quick coffee grab. Their are functional study rooms for a bit of privacy during those extensive exams or when you decide to work remotely their are many nooks to set up shop. The tea selection is pretty great as well. The keep the coffee and teas pretty basic so you don't have to have a vast vocabulary of terms to memorize before ordering a simple dark roast. read more

For this type of coffee shop - excellent. Old house of several room with comfortable newish but mismatched couches, soft and regular chairs, tables and coffee tables, bookshelves, etc. in each. Local art for sale on the walls, CD for sale somewhere. Sit on the porch in front to watch the street scene. Music sometimes. Friendly, young and not so young crowd doing homework, writing reports, surfing the net, talking and arguing and laughing. Bulletin boards of local events. Wander through the rooms, find a place, drink coffee, eat snacks, talk to someone, pound on the computer. What a coffee house should be. read more

A coffee shop where I can get a decent dirty soy chai latte AND a bottle of the local Lazy Magnolia beer? How awesome is that? Very cozy atmosphere, but far too small to host a Tweetup! read more

This coffee shop has given Cups a run for its money. I stopped going to Cups in Fondren a while back because of all of the moping teenagers smoking cigarettes and complaining loudly about any and everything. Sneaky Bean (in my opinion) is for an older, more mature crowd. I love that there is art for sale on the walls and all the little nooks where you can just get lost in your coffee and good book/paper. The before mentioned pluses in other reviews: they sell beer, and its good beer; and the occassional live music. I would add that they sell breakfast and lunch that is actually made, not just nuked. Its hit or miss, but usually people aren't coming to a coffee shop to get a meal anyway. Another bonus? This coffee shop has a porch. And who doesn't love a good porch? read more

When friends come through Jackson, I always try and bring them to Sneaky Beans to hangout. Whether it's a morning coffee, midday smoothie or an afternoon beer, Sneaky Beans is the perfect place to chill with a couple friends. During the day, the atmosphere is quiet and productive. The shop is divided into several, separate rooms, each with sofas, tables and chairs to choose from. It's well lit with plenty of outlets and surfaces, which makes working or studying here a breeze. The coffee is excellent. We Jacksonians take our local coffee pretty seriously, and Sneaky Beans offers some of the best unique coffee flavors in town. They're always switching up their roasts and offering a great variety. They don't usually sell "real" food, but they always have delicious muffins and pastries as well as some really great energy bars. In the afternoons, the Sneaky Beans front porch is easily one of the best places to sit in the city. Grab a couple friends and a couple of craft beers from inside, sit back and relax. Nestled in the heart of Fondren, you can people watch to your heart's content before grabbing dinner at some of the neighborhood's best restaurants, all within walking distance. read more

Great place to study!! Parking in back available. Drip coffee better than cups, not as good as starbucks. Espresso drinks pretty good. Heard not to try the cakes bc the bottom is soggy. If you want baked goods though, you could walk across the street to campbell's bakery. I think they should actually be in cahoots with them, campbell's is so close and has the best cheapest baked goods. Really cute, couches in back if you don't feel like studying at a table. also has music on some nights. Plan on coming here or starbucks on northside whenever i need a place to study. much better than cups. free wi fi, nice outdoor seating area read more

If I lived in Jackson, I'm pretty certain I wouldn't come here often since the lattes are watered down then overly sweetened. The cakes...well, just don't bother trying them unless you are a non-diabetic and still plan on injecting yourself with some insulin. The girl behind the counter swore by their desserts, and I'm regretting my decision on that. Pure sugar and no flavor. I'm still giving it a three though, it isn't a bad place to study and it has charm. If you find a space in one of the quieter rooms, it can be a great place to relax. Also, the people seem pretty nice so I can't be that harsh on this cute coffee shop. read more

Really cute place but overpriced and just average coffee. The barista was not very friendly and when I asked for more milk I barely got a splash- really? A smile goes a long way early in the morning. read more

I love this place! It is an old house turned into a coffee shop. Somehow it makes you feel like you are in your own living room, studying. Free wifi. Parking at the back. read more

Super chill. Decorated with local art, located in the Fondren area, this new coffee shop is an awesome place to grab a good cup of joe and surf the web. There's a trio playing some subtle jazz, and the building is littered with young people studying or just listening to the music. Not much food selection, just some muffins and desserts. Great addition to Fondren. read more

This is a must visit place if you're looking for something to do in Jackson! The coffee is great, but they also offer smoothies, teas, and a variety of bottled bears. With such a cozy atmosphere, this is a great place to get a drink and sit down to read a good book. If you look behind the front door you'll see tons of posters advertising anything from marathons to local shows. The decor features many pieces from local artists that are often for sale, and Sneaky beans also has a small selection of CDs and vinyls for sale from local bands as well. If this place wasn't awesome enough, they also function as a venue for small shows! I love seeing local bands play while enjoying my favorite Mocha Mint Frappe! read more

Very good cafe au lait, friendly baristo, and decent environment. By virtue of the neighborhood (Fondren) this place seems to be frequented by hipster types of which I distinctly am NOT. Even so, service was friendly and prompt, and it was not busy the cold January night we came by to kill some time before a show at nearby Duling Hall. Coffee prices were affordable. This place obviously tries to be involved in the local community and support the arts which is totally cool. The bathroom was kind of not great - it was extremely tiny, and the door locked with an old-fashioned latch-into-an-eyelet thing, but it was functional enough. Bottom-line: I would definitely swing back by if I visited Duling Hall/Fondren again. And if I come back to Jackson, I'm sure I'll be visiting the Fondren - it's happening. Oh yeah, it's probably not "the" Fondren, but that sounds cooler to me, so there, I said it. read more

Great place to grab a coffee, beer and meet people! Sneaky Beans is an old house right in the middle everything in Fondren. There are few rooms, so it is easy to find a quiet place for yourself, or to hang out with friends. The front porch is great - since you're in the middle of everything, it is great to sit out, enjoy the weather and people watch or socialize. A warm coffee on a cool day or a cold beer on a warm day - the front porch is a key feature of Sneaky Beans. They often host a musical on the front porch, which can make a lovely (if crowded!) evening. The coffee is fine, I may not be a great judge of that. Their food selection is lacking, but it kind of exists. They do carry a good range of beers priced very reasonably. The service is always great though. This is definitely one of the most social coffee shops I have been to, while at the same time, it is still excellent for buckling down and getting some overcaffeinated studying done. I always run into people I know here, and I often meet new friends here too! read more

Friendly staff, good coffee, and cool atmosphere - I don't travel here very often, but when I do come back this way I'll definitely stop by again. read more

It's everything you want a neighborhood coffee shop to be! Quality coffee from local roasters Bean Fruit, good variety of other drinks (beer!) and a cozy atmosphere.

Handmade biscuits, quiches, grits, and the best people in Fondren! Recommendations: Dirty Chai, fruit smoothie, Espresso! read more
