Darwell's Happiness Cafe
127 E 1st St, Gulfport, MS
Crema's Take
“Darwell's Happiness Cafe feels less like a restaurant and more like being invited into a local family's home, where the staff genuinely treats you like kin from the moment you walk in. The kitchen takes pride in crafting fresh, flavorful dishes with local ingredients at fair prices—think crawfish etouffée and hamburger steak dinners that keep people coming back for years—while the relaxed patio seating and warm hospitality make it perfect for lingering over coffee and pastries with friends and family.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
