Exciting news for coffee lovers and pup parents! Gulfport, a quaint coastal city known for its welcoming vibes, was graced with the grand opening of Salty Pup Coffeehouse and Bakeshop on December 20, 2023. This new gem is located conveniently at 5004 Tangerine Ave S., making it an ideal stop for anyone craving delicious coffee and scrumptious treats.
At Salty Pup, you’re in for a real treat with their premium coffee roasted just a hop away in Tampa and bagels that are lovingly overnighted from Brooklyn. Talk about a fantastic flavor journey! The cafe offers homemade pop-tarts every Saturday, alongside indulgent cinnamon rolls available on weekdays. For the health-conscious, there’s a rotation of pastry staples that include chickpea salad sandwiches, veggie wraps, and refreshing fruit smoothies.
And if you’re wondering what to sip while munching on these delightful goodies, the latte steals the show here! Made from 100% Colombian beans and crafted to perfection with a medium-dark roast, it’s a must-try for any coffee aficionado.
Salty Pup is the brainchild of a loving husband-and-husband duo, Jodie Musselman and Jeff. With Jodie’s impressive marketing background, having worked with big names like Ralph Lauren and Brooks Brothers, and Jeff’s extensive experience in hospitality, they’re dedicated to crafting a phenomenal customer experience. They also prioritize inclusive business partnerships, sourcing from a roster of fabulous local suppliers, including women-owned oatmeal companies and Alabama tea farmers.
Jodie and Jeff made a big move from Atlanta and couldn’t be happier with their decision, as they feel embraced by the warm community atmosphere that Gulfport has to offer.
Step inside, and you’ll instantly feel the coastal charm of Salty Pup, with its cozy design featuring a bamboo-wreathed ceiling and a lovely greenery wall complete with lounge seating. The abundance of plants adds to the fresh, vibrant environment that encourages you to sit back and stay awhile.
The name Salty Pup is dear to the owners’ hearts as it honors their late dog, Hampton, whose spirit continues to influence their vision. A unique aspect of Salty Pup is its pet-friendly atmosphere; dogs are warmly welcomed on the outdoor patio where green astroturf makes for a comfy dining area. Just a heads up, though—due to health codes, our furry friends can’t join us inside.
The cafe comfortably seats 40 guests and offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. If you need to get some work done, free WiFi is available, making it a perfect spot for people who want to combine productivity with delicious food. Plus, the venue can be reserved for private parties and events after 2 p.m., adding an exciting twist for special gatherings.
Not only does Salty Pup serve a delightful selection of breakfast sandwiches, waffles, and French toast, but lunch options such as grilled cheese and salads are sure to satisfy. Eager customers will also be pleased to find some of Mama Pearl’s famed dessert breads still on offer.
In keeping with the dog-friendly theme, Salty Pup features a Polaroid bulletin board where pet parents can showcase pictures of their furry friends visiting the cafe. This initiative is a wonderful way to enhance the community spirit and celebrate the bond between humans and their pets!
With its vibrant ambiance, delectable offerings, and open-hearted spirit, Salty Pup Coffeehouse and Bakeshop is more than just a cafe—it’s a place to gather, connect, and enjoy great company, both human and canine. Whether you’re a local resident or visiting Gulfport, make sure to swing by and experience all that Salty Pup has to offer!
