Known for its colorful personality and laid-back coastal charm, Gulfport has a way of making you want to slow down and enjoy a change of pace. From leisurely mornings to afternoons spent exploring its local shops and waterfront, the small town is full of character. Now, there’s a new neighborhood cafe to add to the mix.
Located inside the former GulfPerk Coffee Bar, Nanday Café (3107 Beach Blvd. S) is now open in the heart of Gulfport, serving up coffee, breakfast and lunch. Named after the Nanday parakeet, a vibrant green bird with a distinctive black head, the cafe’s branding feels right at home in Gulfport. Its tropical aesthetic fits right into a community known for its colorful personality and relaxed charm.

The breakfast menu is highlighted by fresh-made Belgian waffles, breakfast sandwiches, bagels, bowls and more, almost all of which is available in gluten-free or vegetarian versions. The Pumpkin Spice Belgian Waffle is the perfect pick for fall.
For lunch, multiple soups, salads and sandwiches offer options to fuel your day. The turkey club sandwich has been an early favorite among guests, while the pumpkin chili soup and the maple harvest spinach salad offer more fall-inspired indulgences.
Like GulfPerk before it, Nanday Café has outdoor seating in both the back courtyard and front patio, as well as plenty of indoor seating if it gets too chilly outside.
Located along Gulfport’s lively stretch of locally loved restaurants and shops, Nanday Café is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The cafe opens daily at 8 am, with lunch service beginning at 11 am. Follow them on Instagram to see the latest.
