Cafe de Luna — Restaurant in Hattiesburg

I love this place, even more so with my morning classes being my only classes on Tuesday and Thursday. This is my official study report for this cafe. As for seating the chairs are all comfortable and cozy, however there isn’t a lot of indoor seating. In my opinion though this is passable due to their incredible outdoor seating area. In summer and fall it is the perfect place to settle and do homework. Which despite being in the middle of the downtown isn’t too loud, plus when there are concerts you can hear them which is a neat perk. The inside part of the cafe doesn’t get too much natural light, however the outside seating I feel balances that out pretty well. In addition the prices for the coffee and baked goods is very reasonable. My favorite is the cinnamon bun latte (It’s very similar to the café au lait). In the photo I pared it with a maple bar. The order ended up costing me about 9$, with the coffee only being 3.45 before tax (16oz). They do have free WiFi and I’ve never had issues with it running sow or bugging out on me. Finally they have a single bathroom (it’s really not as much of an issue as you’d think), and free accessible water (which is a requirement for me at cafes). The cafe is also pretty small in comparison to some of the others in the area. I don’t find this to be too big of a flaw though usually there is a couple students studying or people filling out papers and planners. Finally there are outlets everywhere! Even in the outside seating. My only criticism is that it doesn’t have too many lunch/meal options. Most of their food is baked goods, with a small selection of tea time sandwiches (pimento with chicken on focaccia and chick salad on croissant). However the food and coffee they do sell is very good.

Overall like I said at the beginning this is a lovely cafe, that sells great coffee and a niche vibe. If you need to sit down on a nice day with a lovely book I can’t help but...

I have visited this place a few times over the course of the past few months. I loved the environment, and I loved my order. I have gotten the same order every time because it brought me comfort. I ordered the same thing yesterday and I believe the person on the computer was in training. I completed my order and had no issue with the person training. I order as I usually would avoiding dairy due to an allergy I contain. I noted that the person training the trainee was saying things to her and some did not align with my order and it would seem as if she was just familiarizing her with the computer. When I received my drink it was not what I had ordered, or had been ordering. I decided to speak up and mention it wasn’t what I ordered and was immediately met with a tone that did not reflect the one I approached with. I didn’t want to be a nuisance so I just said it was fine and asked if my flavoring would still be in the drink and the young lady responded in a way that made me feel less than. She asked me why would it be in the drink if that’s not what I ordered it in, but I did order it there. Eventually she passive aggressively mentioned remaking my drink and it was remade. I am very disappointed because I did truly enjoy this spot and I’ve mentioned it to many friends who also enjoy going here. I understand if people are having off days, but to take it out on a customer...

This place is a total gem! Price is between gas station and Starbucks but the quality is well above both. I'd say my typical 16oz customized drink is between $3.50 and $5.50 depending on how fancy I'm feeling. I've had a decaf blended white mocha with strawberry cold foam, a brown sugar and cinnamon latte, a French vanilla cappuccino, and an iced hazelnut latte with strawberry cold foam. The only disappointing one was the cappuccino but only because literally half the drink was foam. They have a small baked goods section that is SO good and cute. I've had a handful of baked goods I don't remember the name of and they all are great and don't taste crumbly. Perfect date spot as there is an adorable narrow courtyard at the very back that gives super romantic vibes! It also would be great for those who just want to study in peace. All in all 10/10 absolutely recommend. The staff are friendly and oh so patient as you hem and haw over the complexity or simplicity...
