Cups Coffee House
How many times has Assistant Editor Natalie Collier spilled me into a wheel chair and rushed me to the Cups, my last bit of strength ebbing away into the unforgiving Mississippi twilight? How many times have I peered into the “eye” of the golf ball and thought, “Et tu, golf ball? Et tu?” As anyone at the Cups in Fondren could tell you, these and other antics are a regular occurrence. In fact, all of us at the JFP are fueled by Cups’ coffee, though some who will remain anonymous go for sugary turtles or even white mochas. That’s right, it’s Adam Lynch. As for myself, I love coffee, whether it’s American drip or Italian espresso, so take my word for it that Cups can’t be beat. It almost seems too good to be true that Jackson’s coffee needs should be served by an excellent local business that actively promotes the ongoing resurgence of this fine city.

It’s no surprise to the staff of the JFP that Cups won best coffee. The Cups in Fondren is near our office, and many of us live on the stuff. Jackson is fortunate to have such wonderful coffee houses. After all, many cities of our size are overrun by the Goliath-esque Starbucks Corp. that doesn’t blink twice over running local coffee shops out of business. Cups does not roast their beans until they’re burned, and they are not an interchangeable module from a mall. They are locally owned, and they celebrate Jackson, with local artists on the wall and plenty of free reading material, including yours truly. More than that, Cups brings young and old, artist and soccer mom together in our closest approximation of a town square. But then you know that, because you obviously go there yourselves.
