Drowsy Poet is clearly a Pensacola staple, and after visiting, I can see why. The atmosphere is…read morewarm, inviting, and spacious, with plenty of seating if you want to relax and enjoy your coffee. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations. It was also nice seeing them interact with their regulars--it definitely feels like a neighborhood coffee shop with a loyal following. I ordered the Poe Iced along with a slice of the carrot coffee cake. The coffee cake was outstanding--rich, moist, with fantastic icing, and tasted like a quality homemade dessert. The Poe Iced was good, but it wasn't quite as complex or memorable as I expected from a coffee house with such a strong reputation. In hindsight, I probably should have tried one of their seasonal specialties instead of sticking with a classic drink. My only real complaint is the drive-thru, which was a bit awkward to get into, so I ended up parking and walking inside. Thankfully, the welcoming atmosphere more than made up for that inconvenience. Will I be back? Absolutely. One thing I've learned about independent coffee shops is that they're always worth a second visit. Sometimes it takes trying a different drink to really appreciate what makes them special. While Drowsy Poet didn't quite blow me away on my first visit like a few other coffee houses have, it's still a very good café and easily a step above the typical chain options like Starbucks, Dutch Bros, or 7 Brew.

We decided to give this place a try based on positive reviews. We have been looking for a good…read morecoffee place. The girl that took my order was very helpful in getting the account set up. Alex on the other hand is the reason for this review. We ordered one coffee black and the other with cream on the side. When I opened the cup and saw how much room was left in the cup I assumed that was the one with the room for cream. When my partner opened her cup there was cream in hers so she went back up to see if she could get a black one like she ordered. He was very rude saying he didn't take the order and was just trying to see what the problem was and I'll remake it angrily. When my partner thanked him as he handed her the new cup he gave her a dirty look and just turned around and walked away. Maybe he's having a bad morning but it wasn't a good first impression sadly because the place is so cute and we really liked the selection.

Highly recommend them; coffee is expensive to begin with no one wants to pay for bad coffee. I go to the one at 6700 North Davis Hwy. My baby peanut is also a fan of their pup cup. And they are pet-friendly; no one wants to leave their beloved pet in the car in this heat. I live an hour away, and every time I go to Pensacola, which is a lot, this is my first stop

Although it was delicious, it was a little too sweet for me but that's my fault because I forgot to ask for 50%. The inside was chic and relaxing aas well.

We had never been to a "PJ's" but we knew they were out of New Orleans & we thought we would give it a whirl. So, we just started ordering all kinds of stuff for the roadtrip LOL. We got $106 worth of Coffee's, iced teas, iced strawberry matcha drinks, croissants, breakfast sandwiches, beignets, the regular sized ones and the bites. Unfortunately we didn't like any of the food. The beignets were the only thing that was good & Sir Hubbers forget to order my order without sugar so I only ate one to try it. Way too much sugar for moi. I like them plain & he just forgot to sans the sugar for me. Bummers OuiOui. Anyhoo, the surprising thing was the Iced strawberry matcha drinks. We got all the toppings they offered lol It was way too sweet for me so I poured my espresso shot in it & I loved it OuiOui. With all that sugar, I drove all the way to St Pete without getting sleepy lol. I'm glad we got the unsweet iced green teas as a back up bc they were also fabulous. Skip the food. It's way below average. Recommend the beignets, coffee & drinks. Will Return.

This is a New Orleans style coffee shop so naturally I ordered beignets along with the specialty iced coffee I tried. Everything took a little longer to be served than most other coffee places I've patronized. The coffee was really good, the beignets were pretty good, and the service was acceptable. The Mardi Gras motif is fun and creates a festive atmosphere for folks enjoying their order in the dining area. On my second visit I learned they have a loyalty program, but only found out after paying for our order. This visit we had coffee and king cake. The king cake with cream cheese was really good. The coffee once again was good, too. I was told there was no way to get credit for my purchase since I already paid. Oh well... Prices are on the high side. More than Starbucks or Dunkin for sure! But better than the competition; I guess you get what you pay for!

They offer a great selection of danishes, croissants, pastries, crepes, and coffee. We had a great experience here. The pastries were fresh, flaky, and delicious. The raspberry pastry was rich and not overly sweet and the crepe topped with strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and chocolate drizzle was amazing. The portions were generous and perfect for sharing. There were so many pastries to choose from, and everything looked fresh and inviting. The shop was clean, cozy, and the staff was friendly and welcoming.
