People probably don’t often think of Mississippi and coffee bars together, but Jackson has some great ones, including this youngster on the block, Sneaky Beans, a fixture in the burgeoning Fondren district. Sneaky Beans has delicious coffee drinks, but it’s also a venue for local bands and musicians, and even has a small corner for compact disc and vinyl album sales, where I noticed a CD from Jackson hip-hop artist Fifth Child for sale. Visit them in Fondren on State Street, or at http://sneakybeans.com/.
