THIS IS AN ACTUAL LOCALE IN MISSISSIPPI! ☕

The Hot Coffee community began when the horse and wagon was the typical mode of transporation. Hot Coffee sat near the midway point of the road from Natchez, MS to Mobile, AL. The long wagon trips to get crops to market and the return trip with food and other necessities was a multi-day journey. In what was to be named Hot Coffee was an inn that provided lodging on their trips to and from market.

In the late 1800's, L. N. Davis built his store to serve those on the long trip. He always kept a pot of what was advertised as "the best hot coffee around" to help steel up the wagoneers' stamina as they continued on their journey; hence, the community's name. Even though L. M. Davis' store is closed now, there's a new generation of coffee makers there to keep the Hot Coffee tradition going.

In addition to a cup of hot coffee, a little further up you'll find the Old German Baptist community. The German Baptists believe in simplicity, so they own no automobiles, use no electricity and are extremely industrious folks.

Hot Coffee was also the home of some notable Mississippians. Actress, author, comedienne, producer Stella Stevens was born in Yazoo City, MS; however, at the age of four, her parents moved to Hot Coffee.

Another famous resident was screen and stage actor Dana Andrews who was born close to Hot Coffee in the now extinct community of Don't.

Hot Coffee's notoreity continues today. National Geographic's website features a short film on Hot Coffee and Martha's Kitchen. You'll also find the starting point of the Hot Coffee Trail there, a self-guided tour. In addition, you'll find Hot Coffee on Facebook. Here, though, the site is not owned by the community, it's an alternative country band from Washington, D. C. named . . . what else, Hot Coffee, Mississippi.

Just remember if you're looking for hoop cheese, a delicious piece of pie, a banquet sight or simply a cup of hot coffee, Hot Coffee, MS is the place you'll need to go.
