Equinox Coffee — Restaurant in Hattiesburg

I absolutely love this place! Coffee is great, food is great, atmosphere is great and inclusive. My only complaint is that every time I come in on one barista, there is always a line to the front door with them specifically. Now I get being busy, and that’s not necessarily the issue. The issue is that they talk and stop so much while taking orders, and preparing a drink for someone. Like literally will stop what they are doing and have that conversation for a couple minutes, and I feel like it contributes to their long line.

Equinox is a must! I moved from out of town and had no clue about anything, and I stopped here to give it a try. I loved the coffee and atmosphere so much, I made it my go-to place.

If you can handle gluten, I super recommend Charles’ muffins (especially the lemon).

If you’re looking for a super cute coffee shop with good music, amazing lattes (super recommend their matcha and dirty chai), plants everywhere, comfy seats, long hours, and wonderful staff then you won’t find it anywhere...
