Crema's Take

Sage Coffee and Books is a wonderfully chaotic treasure trove housed in an old Gulfport home where thousands of books—from rare 19th-century editions to contemporary releases—live alongside expertly crafted coffee and the salty Gulf breeze. The owner Laura is a genuine book whisperer with encyclopedic knowledge of her inventory, creating an atmosphere that's equal parts literary sanctuary and cozy neighborhood gathering spot, perfect for lingering over a cup while losing yourself in the stacks. Whether you're a writer seeking inspiration, a book collector on the hunt, or simply someone who craves the particular magic of old paper and espresso, this place delivers an experience that feels authentically curated rather than Instagram-polished.

A used book store in an old house. So many books to chose from and the owner Laura was so friendly. She knew where every book was. I ended up getting a few books to add to my collection. If you are looking for a book that’s inexpensive this is the place.
