Native Coffee — Restaurant in Jackson

Imagine for a moment that you’re have a rough moment in the morning. Your day is just beginning and your car breaks down. Stuck in the parking lot, a tow truck has been called. The manager approaches and asks if you’re having problems. His main concern isn’t your safety or general well-being. There’s no empathy. Although not expected, would it have been nice to offer a cup of coffee considering your plight combined with the 30 degree weather? His concern is business and how your vehicle is blocking parking spaces, affecting where patrons are able to maneuver, even though one space is still accessible from one entrance and in a worst case they could park along the street, walking no more than 50 feet from their car to the building. Not only are you concerned about your vehicle and now lateness to work, but you’re left a burden hanging over the financial returns of the shop, presenting an obstacle to passersby who may not know what is going on and think parking is too complicated, foregoing the experience altogether. The scenario seems outlandish. On a side note, the customer who checked on you, asking if everything was alright is much appreciated still. Three stars indicates...

As you can see in past reviews I have left I consistently travel nomadically around the united states. When I travel so many locations I often try to get that local small town service feel. I have been to dozens of coffee shops over the past decade and have gone almost everyday loyally despite the coffee and service. The majority of places I have been the coffee doesn't always hit the same and the service can be sub par. However, that is not the case with Native! On practically my second or third day in Ben remembered my name and the coffee that I order. I have gone to many coffee shops hundreds of times and never had my name or coffee memorized with such care and attention. I have now lived here almost a month in Clinton and I drive 30 minutes everyday across town to Native to get my coffee. I would have been loyal anyway but the vibe, coffee, and service at Native has sold me! I would thank Ben for his incredible professionalism and the rest of the staff for providing a phenomenal cup of coffee in such a sweet spot! I love this shop and couldn't recommend it more!...

Native Coffee is the place where caffeine meets joy, kindness, and purpose. My latte was so incredible that I was torn between two life-changing decisions: do I inhale it in one glorious shot, or do I drink it slowly, stretching out the experience like the last episode of my favorite show? I went with option two because this latte deserved to be savored, and celebrated. In fact, that latte is the reason I’m writing this review.

But it’s not just the coffee—although, let’s be honest, it’s amazing. Everyone at Native is so friendly and welcoming. And the owners? They’re incredible. Supporting Native doesn’t feel like indulging in my coffee addiction (which is 100% real); it feels like making an investment in a family, in a dream, in something that makes our community better.

So, next time you’re debating whether to spend money on coffee, just do it. At Native, it’s not just coffee—it’s love in a cup, kindness in a business, and every...
