⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Go‑To Coffee Shop for Years — Always a Great Experience
Coffee Central in Southaven has been one of my favorite places for a couple of years now, and they continue to impress me every single visit. They offer an amazing selection of specialty drinks, quality coffee, and fresh pastries and food that always taste like they were made with care.
The atmosphere is consistently great — warm, inviting, and perfect whether you’re grabbing something quick or settling in for a while. I often bring my laptop and end up spending hours working here. Even when the shop is full, it never feels chaotic or distracting. Somehow, it stays peaceful enough for me to focus and get things done, which is rare to find in a busy coffee shop.
The staff is friendly, the drinks are delicious, and the environment is one I genuinely enjoy being in. Coffee Central has become a staple in my routine, and I absolutely love them for creating a space that feels both productive and comforting.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for great coffee, great vibes, and a place that truly gets it right.

Review for Coffee Central (a.k.a. My New Holy Ground)
Was driving down the street with a mild headache that was whispering to me, letting me know that if I didn’t get caffeine soon, it was about to evolve into a full-blown migraine. That’s when I saw it: Coffee Central.
Forget McDonald’s, Dunkin’, or Starbucks — those were all 5+ minutes down the road. This place was right here. So I dipped into the left lane and sped into the parking lot like Speedy Gonzales in a Lamborghini (even though I drive a beat-up 2017 Ford Escape... yes, a Ford... yes, I know, I’m an idiot).
I walked in, and immediately everyone looked rich, talked about stocks and spoke in complete sentences. Meanwhile, I was rocking some chucks, my spouse’s oversized shorts (which would be too big if I weren’t fat), and a Beetlejuice T-shirt. In November.
A gentleman with immaculate nails — seriously, I’m still jealous, those nails were flawless — greeted me at the counter. I asked for a large cold brew. He asked if I wanted 16oz or 20oz. I didn’t want to out myself as a full-blown caffeine junkie, so I said 16oz… but my soul whispered “20.”
He handed me the perfect cup of cold brew on ice. No sweetener, no cream, no fancy flavorings — just grown-up coffee. I pity the folks who take their coffee like a newborn takes their bottle of milk.
I ran back to the car, sat down, and took a sip.
Ten minutes later, the coffee was gone — and so was my headache.
Bold. Smooth. Not a hint of coal.
Coffee Central just gained a new caffeine addict whenever I’m in DeSoto County.

Truly one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. The staff is so personable and sweet. Whenever I ask for suggestions, they are always so enthusiastic to help out and tell me their favorite stuff! Their spinach, tomato, and feta quiche is the best quiche I've ever had. I am also a huge avocado toast snob, and theirs is so good! I will say, it can be a little expensive. I got a medium latte and a plate of avocado toast, and I paid around 22 dollars (not including tip, which totaled to 26, but that's on me lol). However, it's a great environment to study or bring a friend and everyone is SO NICE!

Really nice little coffee spot with a relaxed vibe and friendly atmosphere. The place feels cozy without being cramped, and it’s perfect for sitting down with a good drink, getting a bit of work done, or just catching up with friends. The coffee is smooth and well-made, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Definitely one of those small gems that makes you want to come back.

This place is amazing! I had a plain bagel with cream cheese and a bagel with toasted to perfection. It was nice and soft and delicious. I also had a caramel macchiato or something like that and it was delicious as well.

The coffee was simply amazing. The balance of flavors and quality of the roast for the espresso was great! I would recommend to anyone who happens to be in the area.

I tried this place for the first time yesterday and had to go back again today. The Dubai chocolate matcha latte is a MUST! The creme brûlée latte was good as well. But what really impressed me was the young gentleman (Nick, I believe was his name)that took my order both yesterday and today remembered my name and greeted me. There have been places I’ve been a customer of for years and still have never bothered to ask me my name. There is plenty of room to sit and enjoy the ambiance, the pastries are delicious. 5 stars ⭐️’s! Anytime I come back to Southhaven for work, this will be my go to place.
I have been coming here for years but just tried one of their new Spring Lattes and WHOA!! Talk about Spring in a Cup!! At the first sip all I could see were brightly blooming flowers and trees and I swear I could hear birds chirping!! I wouldn’t normally order this type of drink but I hope they never take it off the menu!!!

Look out Starbucks...I think these guys have you beat as far as quality and atmosphere are concerned. Had the best Expresso this morning! Worth returning to whenever I go to Southaven!

I tried a seasonal coffee and a bagel, and both were good.
