When I'm in Starkville it's Strange Brew. You can get a damn good cup of black coffee or the wife grabs some of their weird stuff. 929 has this elitist 3rd wave coffee vibe with bad coffee, higher prices and smaller sizes. They started out using mass produced "prolific Intelligentsia" coffee...
If you actually like coffee, hit strange brew. Two Bros. is worth a stop. I'm also hearing that City Bagel is about to shut down. Would be a shame to miss it if so.
