929 Coffee Bar

This rating for the customer service. I’ve always came here for cinnamon rolls. This time around, there was only 1 barista behind the counter. When I walked in, he never acknowledged me at all. I stood at the counter for 5 long minutes while watching him swirl the coffee he was making. I expected him to greet me, but that never happened. I was only served when his co worker came back from the bathroom area to help me out. This was the worst customer service I’ve experienced here.

I travel A LOT for ESPN and I’m always excited when I’m assigned a game in Starkvegas simply for the fact that I get to have coffee from here. The people are great and the coffee is even better! I always enjoy bringing someone new here because it is a hidden gem that you wouldn’t think existed. Thank you so much for the work you do and the great coffee you make! I wish there were more places like this in all the towns I go to.

Finally– baristas who know what they’re doing!!! They are knowledgable of the product, and since they have opened– they have been able to answer any questions I’ve asked!
They serve fabulous coffee– made to perfection. Everything including lattes, cappuccinos, espresso, etc, is handled with great care. I appreciate the quality of the product and service, because it just seems to exceed every other coffee contender in the state.
The atmosphere is awesome! They pull the windows up in pretty weather, play great music, host art shows, and allow musicians to come in on predetermined nights. With all the fun going on, 929 still presents itself as a wonderful place to study or read a book.
Definitely a must go to place when visiting Starkville.

I’m kinda of coffee snob, and this is the best coffee in Starkville hands down! The ambiance is great, and extremely creative design prevails inside. The coffee is to die for! I had cold mocha — just perfect — not too sweet and very refreshing! Their energy balls are very good as well — I had walnut and penalty butter one. If you are in Starkville, definitely check out this place!

As a student at Mississippi State University, I value a quiet and caffeinated place to hide away and study. I’ve spent so many hours working on homework here, some of the baristas knew me by name.
929 focuses on crafting authentic espresso drinks, such as a traditional macchiato. They also have their own twist on things with drinks like frozen iced coffee (which is on my list of things to try) and their beetfloats. Yes, they have beer, so this coffee shop is also a great place to meet up with friends after work and just relax.
They also have musicians play in the basement sometimes. A lot goes on down there; I’ve been to art shows and bingo night. There is definitely lots of variety here to spruce up Starkville.
If you’re ever in the area, I would recommend stopping in for a lavender latte.

Fantastic local coffee bar on Main Street. Lots of room and free wifi! Helpful friendly staff. Great coffee!

They are very much into supporting the town of Starkville and near by MSU. The small community makes it feel welcoming.
The coffee is by far some of the best in Starkville, 100 times better than Starbucks and would even go to say more consistent than Strange Brew. Their eclectic decorations are pretty neat.
The only thing that I have a problem with is they’re just expensive as Starbucks. If not more. The taste is rich and worth it but on a college student budget it can be hard to go more than once every couple weeks.
Their events are fun and frequent. Their bingo night was exciting and they give giftcards from local businesses out to the winners.

Before this place opened Starkville did not have a real coffee shop. Not to knock Starbucks or the good people at strange brew but when most people say «coffee shop» this is the exact sort of environment they are looking for. The staff consists of cute girls and bearded guys, there’s a lot of seating for groups or by yourself, and the atmosphere and décor make it feel artsy but still fairly rustic and comfortable. Finally the menu of coffee and pastries is great. I recommend trying the pour over coffee at the bar. It’s fun to watch as well as drink. My favorite place in Starkville bar none.

I can’t say enough great things about this place. 929 has been such a positive new addition to Starkville, MS. Best coffee in town. I am constantly impressed by how informative, friendly, and professional the staff is with every customer. I have been enjoying 929 for just over a year and I can’t name one time I left unsatisfied with my experience. They are truly passionate about the quality of their coffee and where it comes from.
The store front itself is aesthetically pleasing and inviting with its patio seating area. The front wall of the store is a garage door style. So on nice days they have the option to open the wall and enjoy the weather. The interior is very stylish and modern with plenty of seating upstairs and downstairs. They make great use of the space while maintaining an open feel.
One of my favorite features of the décor is the inventive way they have repurposed old oven sheets by tilling their back wall with them. Right when you walk through the door your eyes are immediately drawn to the textured copper accent wall. Only upon a closer look do you realize its oven pans. I think it adds even more character to the place and creates a interesting conversation piece for the customers. The downstairs area has ample seating and is a great place for a more private atmosphere. Though it can still be a bit noisy with the wooden floors above and espresso brewing that is going on constantly.
They have a wide range of snack options from sweet pastries, quiche, and breakfast sandwiches. My favorite are the Sausage Muffins. As for coffee, this place has the best options in town. Their house standard is Intelligista, but they constantly have a alternating pour-​over options from all over the world. Not to mention a reasonable beer selection. Their small sized coffee’s are only 8 oz. which some folks may have an issue with, but I actually prefer it.
Throughout the year they also host many events including live music, comedy shows, and art sales.

This is an upscale coffee shop with pastries to die for, a truly hidden gem! They know how to make coffee drinks the correct way, and they use sustainable coffee. The ambiance is very pleasant with soft music and comfortable seats. The perfect place for good conversation, get some studying done, or just enjoy a cup of joe.

Super cute coffee shop. Great location, it really ties in with the rest of downtown. The basement is a great place to study.

This shop is sure to surprise, it is among the short list of the few «true» coffeehouses in Mississippi. 929 serves excellent coffee sourced from around the globe, and can be prepared in various ways. You will not get the same environment elsewhere in Starkville. Give this place a try if you’re tired of the burnt Starbucks coffee served on campus, 929 will not disappoint.

Had it for the first time this morning. A family member recommended it to me. I liked seeing organic coffee on the menu but I did not like seeing the Great Value brand half and half in the fridge. It’s no longer organic if you put that in it. They should at least have an all natural, preferably organic cream or at very least a higher quality cream then Great Value. The coffee tasted decent. The food however I was pretty disappointed. My quiche was just ok tasted like it was was reheated because they popped it in the microwave before they gave it to me. My husband’s cinnamon roll tasted reheated and even got rubbery half way through eating it as it cooled. I know this is not their fault but I was told they had large portions and they looked big in the store so we ordered accordingly. A quiche to share and a cinnamon roll to share. the ordered to go and when we pulled everything out it was all so tiny. The quiche was not a meal for one let alone to share and not enough for $ 4.75. Cinnamon roll was a little bigger but still not what we expected. I don’t know if I would go back. I definitely will not get food here again. I am not sure if I would get coffee here again. Still kinda small for the price. I will probably stick with Starbucks. I like supporting local businesses but I just was so disappointed. It will be awhile before I go back if i go back, but if I do I will check before i order.

Great staff. Very friendly. Very Helpful. It was a clean quiet atmosphere and the coffee was great. I highly recommend the coffee shop… If you can find it. But I think they’re working on a solution to that.

Yay! Starkville finally got a great coffee house. Really good caramel lattes and pour overs. The sausage and cheese muffins is very good. A perfect pick me up. Love that locals are the owners.

Great coffee and atmosphere. It’s a little trendy without being pretentious. The food selections are somewhat limited (it’s a coffee bar, not a cook-​to-​order dinert), but it’s one of the highlights of Starkville’s admittedly modest restaurant scene.

Favorite place to study in Starkville. Love the atmosphere, the employees, and most importantly, the coffee. So many different varieties and different pour overs everyday!
Their quiche is delicious, any baked good is worth the calories, and their Amish Friendship Bread tastes like king cake, which is always a good thing.
They have great deals on coffee for students who are their studying, like the Bottomless Cup for about $ 3.50. They have lots of seating and large tables in the basement for spreading out all of your homework or study groups. It’s the greatest new addition to Starkville!

The coffee is very good. The people are friendly. The atmosphere is outstanding. Great place to meet a friend or simply spend a little time relaxing.
I would love to see longer hours and more food choices, but that will come. Management is responsive and listens. Great place.

Love the atmosphere and serving intelligentsia coffee is the smartest thing any coffee shop can do. I would like to see more attention to their coffee brewing methods, but they seem to favor espresso drinks and do a great job at it. Also, pick up a cinnamon roll, they are fantastic.

Decent coffee and a great atmosphere. The downstairs is spacious and great for studying or hanging out. It also feature a really nice outside area.
Complaint:
1) The food is decent but one-​dimensional. Pretty much every option is a pile of bread in some shape or form.
2) Closes early. Maybe that will change as time passes.
3) I really wish the owners would turn off the music in the basement during the day. Pretty much everyone is studying/​working down there anyway.
4) They do not offer a basic iced coffee.
A place like this was needed in Starkville and I’m very happy that we now have a coffee shop that is suitable for spending a few hours working or relaxing.
