If you’re looking for a groovy dining spot, it doesn’t get much better than The Prickly Hippie. The name alone is enough to catch the attention of passers-by. And those who enter won’t be disappointed. Basically a cafe and florist all in one, it’s totally far out. Take a look:
The Prickly Hippie is located in the Trace Station shopping center at Highway 51 North and Jackson Street in Ridgeland.

It opened in the summer of 2017 and is already a big hit – and for good reason. Fittingly unconventional, The Prickly Hippie is a combination coffee shop, bakery, and flower shop.

In addition to one-of-a-kind containers and beautiful flower arrangements, the shop sells ethically sourced, handmade gifts, such as candles, soaps and handbags.

One of the most popular items is the homemade pop tarts, which are available in a variety of flavors, like plum and peach mango passion fruit.

The homemade goodness doesn’t end with sweet treats, though. Homemade hot pockets are available during lunch Thursday through Saturday.
