Lovelace Drug Store & Soda Fountain Closed 2019

Ocean Springs has a lot to offer, with some of the most interesting culinary adventures to be found on the Coast, and Lovelace Soda Fountain is going to rank at the top of that list for a long time to come. Located in the very heart of town, at the intersection of Washington and Government, Lovelace is, once again, the place to be. Source

The Lovelace building went up in 1926, so it’s been a landmark in the city for almost a century.

The menu includes lots of old favorites, but it also includes upgrades for today’s tastes. Perhaps the most obvious change is the inclusion of more than two dozen espresso and brews; in fact, manager Kelley Triplett has 10 years’ experience as a barista. Check out the fancy espresso machine behind the counter, and you will agree this place is serious about good coffee. Source

The Lovelace Soda Fountain has all the accouterments that you might expect. A bright red countertop, red tables and chairs, and chrome counter stools, topped with red upholstery, offset by black and white checkered floors. This is about as 1950s as you can get. Source
