Coffee

Our Story

Rooted in the
Bay St Louis community.

The Backwoods started as a simple idea: a place where locals could grab a proper cup of coffee in the morning, linger over a drink in the evening, and actually feel at home. We opened our doors on Apricot Drive with nothing more than a love for good food, real conversations, and the kind of atmosphere that doesn't need to try too hard.

Whether you're a lifelong resident or just passing through the Gulf Coast, we'd love to welcome you in.
