This would've been a five star review--we've been here twice this week already (5-4 star visits, minor issues) and do enjoy the healthy eats. We love the atmosphere and the shops. Sure, some of their food has inconsistencies (açaí bowl had granola on top and bottom, second time it did not have it on bottom and açaí levels were half of what I've come to expect.) The cook was not very happy about it, but just gave an excuse. It still ended up being $9 for a half empty bowl. The cashier asked if we wanted a large or small sweet tea, we paid for a large, or so we thought, because it came out unsweetened and small. When brought to their attention, the guy making the drink wasn't very happy and said they don't do large. But as you can see in the photo my daughter's drink was large. My small cost me $3.50. Despite these niggling issues we left mostly positive. Their honey latte is a standout. I'm glad I'd ordered a salad to split because that was mostly what we ate. Overall, not good service, nor the quality we are used to here. After the meal, neither of us were satisfied and filled. We've never left here so unsatisfied. I'm still giving this place 3 stars because we did really like our other visits and have been coming here for years. A lot of their food is great. Their service is usually good. Neither were this time. In short? Don't ever come here on a Thursday. read more

The food was fresh, light, and well seasoned. I had the two egg scramble with andouille sausage, red/green peppers, onion, and pepper Jack cheese. I had fresh fruit and toast for my sides. My sister had the police and rosemary quiche along with fresh fruit and avocado toast (four pieces are included so perfect for sharing!). I also ordered a vanilla latte and a green tea refresher for my sister. The service was quick and the food was fresh. I love coming every time I am in town. It's a must to stop by before I hit the road back home. read more

I needed a spot to kill a few hours and work while in Pensacola for the day, and Bodacious Brew did the trick. I got there around 8:45 and it was about half full with some comfortable seating available. There were several open tables outside also. The WiFi was fast and easy to connect to. I ordered an iced decaf mocha ($4.75) and a piece of ham and broccoli quiche ($6.50) with a side of fruit for breakfast. I would give the iced mocha four stars, as the mocha syrup they used was rich but not too sweet and really tasty. I'm not sure if it was because I ordered decaf, but the drink didn't have much of an espresso taste to it so I'd order an extra shot next time. Unfortunately, the food was just blah. The quiche was bland and dry and just lukewarm. It looked really good but the taste didn't match the looks of it. It was a decent sized portion for the price but I really didn't enjoy it at all. Even some salt and pepper would have helped it out a lot. The side of fruit, which was grapes and mixed berries, was pretty fresh however. Overall it's a great place to sit and work or people watch, but I would stick to just beverages next time. read more

We went there for the name alone because the sign says "bodacious brew thru". I got the iced white mocha and it was so good. You can taste the coffee and it wasn't too sweet. They were super nice too! read more

I was in town visiting and always love finding and checking out local bookstores. It was a definite plus that this one also had a cafe. I went later on a Saturday night and they were not busy. It's right next to a parking garage that I think was $5 for my 30 minute visit so parking wasn't hard to find. My coffee was wonderful and I found quite a few books I had been looking for. If I'm ever back in town this place will be on my list to visit again! read more

Bodacious Shops - Cold brew black tea and cold brew coffee with espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Unique and simple. I'm here on a Sunday morning and this place is bustling with people downstairs. This unique coffee shop/olive oil shop/kitchen shop is quite unique. I wanted a nice quiet, outdoor place to study and this place is perfect! There's plenty of seating in the cafe area for food/drinks, scattered seating upstairs in the kitchen/wine and cheese area and both outdoor patio and balcony seating. I enjoy the fact that I can be here for breakfast/brunch and if I'm here long enough, try out some cheese and wine or head downstairs to check out their variety of olive oils! The food here is simple, so don't expect some elaborate breakfast. I wasn't too picky about it, I just wanted something to eat. I got a 2 scrambled eggs with onions and spinach, side of red potatoes and cinnamon toast. I also got a matcha latte with oat milk. Food was simple even in the sense of flavor, more so as if you'd have to just season your food yourself. For me, I prefer that because I don't like an over-seasoned/super salty breakfast. The red potatoes were a bit on the oily side and the toast was like 5 seconds away from being burnt. The matcha latte was perfect in sweetness for me, not too sweet. Overall, the food was okay, not epic...just super simple. I'll definitely be back, but hopefully the food experience will be a little different and I'll spend some time checking out the wine/cheese/olive oils! read more

Came for lunch and some coffee. While I myself am not a coffee drinker, those in my party who had it really raved about it and were happy. The wraps were good - filling but not overstuffed - served with kettle chips and a pickle. We also got a pizza which I thought was OK. It was a flatbread pizza with a large amount of acceptable cheese and enough sauce to let you know it's there but not weigh through the flatbread. Prices were a little steep at approximately $10 for most lunch items. I'll be back, by only when my wallet is weighing me down with how much cash is in it. read more

I loved it! The atmosphere is great. Food is delicious! Try those grits!!!!! And the coffee was so very good.

I come here twice a week. Each visit I order the same thing but each time it's different. Cappuccino is never the same. given to me in a to-go cup when I say for here or ceramic. The staff is never the same. Turnover is running rampant in the workforce. Bookstore is limited but prices are not. read more

What a cute bookstore and cafe. Grabbed a new book and a latte and spent a couple of hours reading.

Bodacious olive oils were delicious but mine and a friends compact strollers were apparently bothersome to the workers considering their sly remarks. Clearly not welcoming to those with children! Would like to add our children were not being disruptive in anyway. read more

Allows DOGS inside of restaurant! I have dogs but I don't want this experience when I am eating!

I do love their coffee shop but I don't like how one of their cooks tell the wealthy people that I'm homeless just because I only want one cup of coffee. The front counter staff are very nice and professional and don't talk about people behind their backs. read more

Super cute coffee shop and definitely worth a visit if you're in downtown Pensacola! I got a peppermint latte and it was super delicious. The bottom floor is so cute and has all these different olive oils and balsamic vinegars plus the cafe with coffees and food. The top floor has more seating plus a balcony and a cute shop with kitchen gadgets, dinnerware, and more. read more

No complaints!! I love the atmosphere and the quality of the food and drinks! If you are hungry I highly recommend trying the vegan bowl. Although it is slightly salty, it is a healthy and delicious meal. While you are there you can try new wines, olive oils, and take a look at the furniture and cooking equipment upstairs. I hope to return soon! read more

Its a good place to have a breakfast but nothing out of the ordinary. Poor customer service.

I write this as I am sitting on the patio with my book, a caramel latte, and the Julia Child (eggs, bacon, cheese on a croissant); so you could say I'm in my happy place. There are a lot of hidden seating areas outside including 2 upstairs (right and left) and 2 downstairs (front and back). Bring your pups! The patio to the right upstairs overlooks Palafox and has nice greenery and a fair amount of shade. My breakfast sandwich was messy (what croissant sandwich isn't) but pretty good. The caramel latte was the winner for me. Someone in line told me to order the Southetown (think avo toast sandwich), so I'll definitely be back to try that. This seems like a good place to study, read, work. There is WiFi so that's always a good sign. I wouldn't say it's necessarily quiet up here with the noise of cars and people, so if you're highly distractable come for the people watching. This place is huge with a kitchen shop upstairs, the neighboring Bodacious Olive store, SoGourmet (charcuterie boards +wine) upstairs, and of course the coffee shop downstairs. You order upfront, wait for your food, then find your place to sit. Enjoy! read more

I ordered a Salmon Bagel, but instead of a bagel, I wanted it on a Croissant. Half of it was so burnt it was inedible! I mentioned to the young man who burnt it that he should only charge me for the half that was edible. No response. I left. It seems like if you want your cafe to survive in these trying times you would train your staff or get more qualified employees to manage your business. His lack of customer skills and common sense cooking will take your business out. This was my first visit and my last. read more

This place would be wonderful if they could get their food game together. I stop here a couple times a year, and each time I am more disappointed than the last time about my breakfast burrito. However, the coffee never disappoints and I recommend the honey latte. Just don't waste your money on the food. read more

Scrambled eggs, quiche & omelet! Presentation is beautiful, staff are all smiles and friendly! Military discount for active duty. I had the quiche, ham and broccoli- first bite was bland (I was so disappointed)- there was a tiny cup of olive oil next to the slice of quiche, I drizzled a bit and transformed the bland into tasty! Who knew! I think it was garlic with a hint of rosemary- I even put a bit over my Hashbrown casserole! Kristi had the scrambled eggs with peppers mushrooms and cheese and devoured her breakfast (I have her some olive oil to try too). Hubby had an omelet with andouille sausage, potatoes and cheese and slowly enjoyed every bite! The boy had a caramel latte and had a lovely foam mustache while he savored every sip! 8 thumbs up from our table! Bonus- downtown location! read more

This little place is awesome! It goes above and beyond a coffee shop. They have an awesome space to sit and enjoy breakfast, a simple, structured, and accessible menu, ample street parking, and an awesome staff. This place sports plenty of seating upstairs for lunch as well as a little store and I think classes in cooking and such. Recently we stayed a night in Pensacola and needed quick but good coffee and breakfast. I had a regular drip coffee and she had an iced vanilla coffee and both were spot on. The vanilla iced coffee she said was one of the best she'd had in a very long time. I'm kind of a coffee snob and I really enjoyed it, a little hot but very awesome roast. She had a Julia Child which is a sandwich with scrambled eggs, cheese and she added avocado, she ate it all and loved every bite. I had a perfectly toasted bagel. We will be back when we have more time to peruse and relax! read more

Love trying local coffee shops when on vacation and this was a great choice. I had the honey latte and a breakfast bagel with grits - al of it was delicious. The latte was just the perfect sweetness. My boyfriend had the vanilla latte and breakfast bowl and really Enjoyed it. He kept saying how good the bowl was - and he is not one to give many compliments. The atmosphere is adorable and lots to look at in the shops while you wait. Definitely worth giving a shot (get it - espresso shot?) read more

I would give 4.5 but the coffee is soooo good. Love the one guy who makes it so sweet and nice. The egg sandwich was just ok. Not sure what is up with the way they make the eggs. Had avocado toast and that was pretty good. Bagel ok. We love the coffee so much so we keep trying for a good breakfast item. read more

Love the atmosphere, coffee, and service of this place. It's extremely cute, and the staff is friendly! They were very sweet when my mom came up to ask them for some coffee grounds she wanted to use for composting. I found some nice gifts upstairs in the shop too. :) read more

We went for Sunday brunch, it's clearly a popular place because there was a long line. But that didn't make the wait for our food long once we ordered. It came in a timely manner. My husband had the grits with andouille sausage and said it was really good. I got the scrambled eggs with the southwest mix, Jack cheese, and andouille sausage. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It came with delicious breakfast potatoes. I also got the honey latte and it was very good. read more

You know you've found a good coffee shop when you go back multiple times when you are on vacation. Very open, they have lots of outdoor seating and a great atmosphere. Coffee and food was great. I drank cold brew and my husband had the French Press. For breakfast I ate avocado wrap and my husband got the grits. -when in the south you have to get grits. read more

I was visiting Pensacola and came across this place. Ordered a iced white mocha and Julia Child breakfast sandwich with the side of grits. Enjoyed my mocha!

Incredible. I ordered a bagel sandwich at the drive thru, but they were out of bagels.

The coffee was good too lol they had oat milk and other alternatives. 10/10 recommend read more

Great pour over coffee and a really, really good London Fog! I ordered a small LF not knowing their cup sizing and it was pretty small. Almost a kiddie cup. My fault for not asking ahead of time but it was still one of the best LF's I've ever had! Wish I did order a grown-up size. My husband loved his pour over dark brew. The Açaí bowl ($8) was very tasty with the standard bananas, strawberries, blueberries and granola. Plenty of seating out back for warmer days and small cafe tables out front along the sidewalk. It was raining so we sat by the window inside which was also spacious. Would definitely go back! read more

Wanted to give bodacious brew another chance while I was in town because it has such a nice location and atmosphere. I ordered a large French press and asked what roast was available. The server turned around to look at the sign and then let me know they had a 1950 for drip coffee and also told me the espresso roast. I asked her again what type of roast was able to be used in French press and then she said Ethiopian. I probably should have heeded my gut and left at this point because it was clear she was not the most knowledgeable on coffee. I went ahead and ordered anyways. I drink my coffee black and love French press because of the flavor steeping provides. I got my 16 ounce but it was more a 14 ounce and it was too weak. The color was a clear indication that she did not add enough coffee to the press. I am sure this place has a specialty drink that is very good but French press is not that drink. If you are a fan of good French press coffee, I would recommend finding a different coffee shop. Cool vibe but horrible french press. read more

When out of town, I very much enjoy stopping by the local coffee shops (or anything that's not a Starbucks). I read about Bodacious Brew on Yelp, and decided to come in for a latte--and to use their free wifi. The baristas were very welcoming and definitely scored some brownie points with me. We talked about Miami, football, which I know nothing about, celebrities and then I got my order in. The latte was delicious and their artistry was evident from how they angled the cream to pour perfectly into the cup. I'm always very impressed by that. Since I was there for business, I set up my laptop on one of the tables along the large window facing Main Street. I was there for a little over two hours and I got to watch some of the transactions with other customers. The staff always maintained a smile on their faces--and they didn't kick me out. I noticed some of their breakfast specials looked pretty good, but I was just there for the coffee. As for parking, there was free street parking outside for a max of 2 hours. I went a little over, and luckily didn't have any issues. I could tell a lot of locals (and students) also made a routine of checking in to read/study or maybe just tweet/Instagram/Facebook. They made me feel right at home so I hope to stop by again before leaving Pensacola. read more

This small and thriving coffee shop in downtown Pensacola can perfectly craft any coffee creation you can think of. The prices are very reasonable and the service always comes with a smile. It's directly connected to the Bodacious Olive, so when you're done with your coffee and breakfast sandwich or wrap, walk next door and check out the world of gourmet oils and vinegars that await you. My vanilla latte was delicious and not too hot, which I like. There's nothing worse than getting a nuclear hot cup of coffee that you can't drink without risk of bodily injury. Even on a Tuesday morning this place filled up fast, but I was able to find a comfortable seat and use their free wifi. If you're in Pensacola, give this gem a try. read more

From Bodacious Olive to Bodacious Brew, soon it will be Bodacious Block. If you want a successful business, just have the owners of these two businesses put there name in front of it. But, by and large the reason that this business is so successful is the quality and consistency of the work that is applied. These Barista's are vetted professionals and artists in their own right. Not only do they make an artistic cup of coffee, they make a great couple coffee. It's a great place to people watch. I only have high hopes for the bodacious brew. read more
