Popular Gulf Coast hangout near the Amtrak line has my favorite coffee from NOLA to FL

Drinking coffee milk on the couch with my grandparents was my favorite way to spend a Saturday growing up. The RT brand coffee with chicory was brewed strong, and the simple joy of making my Granny’s cup (with two Sweet n’ Lows and powdered creamer) is a big part of why I love a good latte or Americano today.

Popular Coast restaurant closes, building owner blamed in social media post

A Diamondhead restaurant that wowed the Sun Herald’s food reviewer in 2024 has closed. And in a post on the restaurant’s facebook page, the closure was blamed on the property owner. According to the post, the closure “is not the result of a struggling restaurant or a lack of community support.” Instead, the post claims there has been “ongoing building infrastructure, maintenance, and safety issues, including the prolonged loss of our freight elevator.” The post says the owners “cannot continue putting our employees, customers, and business at risk while waiting for essential building repairs that remain unaddressed.” “We did not want to close this restaurant,” the post added. “But without the necessary building maintenance and a path toward resolving these issues, we have been left with no sustainable way to continue operating at this location.” According to the post, The Camphouse Burger Bar in Waveland will remain open, and the owners are “actively searching for another location along the Coast.” In his review, the Sun Herald’s Scott Watkins said “I thank The Camphouse for bestowing these vibes upon me. For supplying a quaint atmosphere and genuinely good seafood. If you, dear reader, are a regular — shame on you for

The 1923 Barq’s Building at Howard Avenue and Reynoir Street in downtown Biloxi is wrapping up a years-long restoration, with 13 condos ready for sale and a restaurant and bar coming to the ground and second floors. Developers say the project aims to anchor a revitalized downtown. FULL STORY: 13 owners can move into Barq’s Building in Biloxi. Restaurant and bar on the way Here are key takeaways: Developer Lee Young of JDLE Development partnered with the Thrash Group in Hattiesburg to restore the building, which honors the Barq family whose root beer was first bottled in Biloxi in 1898. Young said the project could set a new standard for downtown. LaCour’s Grocery, described by Young as a “polished dining room and a dramatic bar,” is under construction on the first floor, with a spring opening planned. Permits have been pulled and interior work is underway. The Root Bar, a nod to Barq’s Root Beer, will open on the second floor as a more intimate, high-end lounge overlooking downtown. All 13 condos are for sale, with no two floor plans alike, said Lynn O’Keefe of O’Keefe Real Estate Group. Three are two-bedroom, two-bath units and the rest are one-bedroom, one-bath,
