    The Coffee shop is an absolute gem! The owner is extremely pleasant and welcoming. Also, Their coffee is top north, especially since they roast their beans right there in the shop which I really appreciate as a customer and coffee enthusiast. I love that they have a little gallery of local art and knitted goods for sale, too. It's the coziest spot, perfect for reading a book, chatting with friends, or just hanging out with family and playing games. I can't recommend it enough!

    Cute coffee shop located in downtown Pensacola! The baristas are friendly, knowledgeable, and make excellent recommendations. All of their syrups are made in house. I want to mention they do not offer a sugar free syrup at the moment. There is ample seating with nice set ups for both social gatherings or quiet moments alone. There are also books available if you are interested in passing time. I like that Alla Prima offers a loyalty program and a drive-through service. Overall, it's a nice coffee shop with amazing drinks and ample seating. I discovered this coffee shop due to being invited to an event taking place. Now that I've tried a few of their menu items I can say I would definitely visit again!

    We were excited to try this new coffee shop! The ambience is relaxed with jazz softly playing in the background. There's unique furniture to sit it and beautiful art you can admire and purchase! The service is really fast and friendly. We enjoyed a Brazilian drip coffee with a butter croissant. My husband had the blueberry muffin. The coffee was very good. I did enjoy the heated butter croissant. My husband thought his muffin was a day old, kinda dry. I read a previous Yelp whom also had reservations about the muffins being out and uncovered right next to the registers. This also got my attention and made me apprehensive. I would also advise some kind of cover or sneeze shield. It's a nice establishment with a great cup of strong coffee!

    A unique vintage style coffee shop with the best tasting coffee in Pensacola! I tried the classic black drip style coffee, the honey/lavender/thyme latte, and the cinnamon roll pastry. I was crazy about all of them. The black drip coffee was very smooth, zero bitterness and a good flavor. Although I'm not in love with thyme, I was really impressed with the lavender thyme coffee, which is what I'll be getting next time. The pastry was soft, moist, fell apart in your hands, and everything I'd hope it would be. The actual shop is very unique, it's like going into a Time Machine back in the 20s or 30s, even the music is vintage. The bathrooms are clean, and the service is excellent. The barista explained how all of the unroasted green coffee beans are kept in oak barrels for 3-6 months, then are roasted in-house and sold - which is why the coffee is so good. The biggest criticism from my wife, which is very minor, is not having 2% or skim milk available for the coffees to make it healthier, but otherwise couldn't be better. You will either have to walk 10 minutes from palafox to get here or take a short drive, but it will be worth it. Can't wait to go back.

    So we drove back into town after our weekend in Brewton, Alabama for the Brewton Witch's Ride to help raise money for charity, and decided to stop by Alla Prima's Yelp Elite Event to try them out. We were glad that we did! Alla Prima is offering RSVP'd Elites a free drip coffee and a butter croissant to get us to try them out. Both were super delicious! Special thanks for serving my guest (wife) as an Elite, which she isn't currently. We were prepared to pay for hers, but instead we bought 45 dollars of coffee and tea to make up for it. We wanted the items anyways, so don't be fooled into thinking we are that noble, and did it just for the payback. The coffee is very good. It was mild with little, to no bitterness to it at all. I prefer espresso based coffee but this was good for a change. I drink a lot of cold brew at home and in part it is because it eliminates most of the bitterness too. I mean I like espresso drinks so bitterness is not a problem, but for just sipping on, I like less bite. The bitter espresso coffee is what wakes me up in the am. Anyways, I will be back for the espresso later. I work downtown so between patients it will not be a problem. I don't know if they prepare their own croissants or if they come from elsewhere. What I can tell you that it was perfectly baked, flaky and buttery. I didn't feel like I needed anything else added to it. I ate every bit of it! I definitely will try some of their other pastries in the future. Just looking around I did not see a lot of savory pastries, I actually didn't see any other than the croissants we had. I don't really eat sweets. Not a big deal. I don't eat breakfast often. Just give me my double macchiato and I am fine! We really dug the atmosphere here too. It is very eclectic so lots of mishmash of furniture and furnishings. The art on the walls is for sale and I liked some of the pieces so much I thought of purchasing them, and might have if my wife was as enthusiastic as I was. I did have one burning question. Where are patrons supposed to park? One possible area behind the building said "Do Not Enter", which I suppose may have been the exit for the drive thru. The lot behind the building looks to be completely reserved for Salon San Carlos. There could be some spots on the street, but I don't think any parking spots exist in front of the building and down the street was all taken. This might be a problem for a weekday. We will see. This makes the drive thru more appealing. I have to say that this little coffee shop is a wonderful addition to our downtown java scene. I am looking forward to going back. Thanks for the Yelp mugs!

    Great neighborhood coffee shop that is away from the busyness of Palafox. Cute ambiance inside and a drive through if you're in a hurry!

    Ridiculous prices. $5.25 for drip coffee? No thanks. Not even in a prime location in town.

First, there were plenty of choices at 11ish when we got there. They had been open since 530 and business was good (the store had a steady flow). The workers were all pleasant and patient as we got our order of 7 people togather. The gentlemen (who I believe said he owned the store) was so helpful with chatting with us about the area! I felt bad holding him up with the chatter but he gave vibes that it is all good :) The donuts... were great! Soft inside with a well defined shell. Not overly sweet or gooey. The sandwiches? Well. We have had a few in our lives, and this is hands down the best. Their donut bun has no glaze, and this made the sandwich so much easier to manage without stickiness or contents sliding out. And the donut itself was gentle sweet and sooooo soft. Not airy like some places, genuinely soft pillow sandwich holder. Sandwiche tasted perfectly balanced. For the first time.. i didnt walk away from eating a donut sandwich heavy with oily regrets. I was happy! He said they had another store that is bigger and has even more things. We definitely will be back!
