the best place to work and best place for your drinks . all the staff is amazing and we love them all!

The outside of the building

Great coffee and I love their bread puddings! Best coffee I have had in Pensacola the 2 weeks I have been here. Definitely worth a try! Staff has been excellent everyday I have been there. The place looks nice and has a relaxed feel about it. Wish I had more time to enjoy my coffee there but had take out every time.

Toffee Mocha Poetchino

6/28/21 - Went through the drive-thru to get the toffee mocha poetchino. It was as delicious as always. The barista, however seemed like he was ready to go home. Drove up and he gave a very sad hello. May have been a bad day for him, but was not expecting that since every time I come to visit the baristas were always very happy and enthusiastic.

First time trying this location out and it is as good as the main location! Love my favorite drink the toffee mocha poetchino! It's a quick stop especially if you are about to get onto the interstate. Very convenient and easy to drive into and out of.

Yes finally!

“I recently discovered I'm not a huge plain Latte fan, so I opted on a themed drink called the Poe, espresso, dark chocolate, and raspberry drizzle.”

I love the leisure club! So many reasons, first they are an amazing small local business, that…read morereally care about their food and the quality of stuff they send. Today I had an issue with my doordasher (not leisure club), and leisure club did everything they could to help me and fix it. Even being a small business, they were still so kind to help, AND THEIR FOOD IS AMAZING! If you haven't eaten here definitely try it out. They have amazing brunch. That's my favorite, but I've tried their lunch- also good and all of their drinks are amazing. My favorite is their chai milkshake and their cold brew milkshake, they are life-changing. I've been ordering them for like five years. They recently brought them back and I was so so excited. They are worth every penny, they are the most delicious frozen drink drinks in town. Things like this with small businesses being so kind and helpful will always bring me back to a company like this to support and I will always market and tell people this is the kind of place that you want to support!!!!! Thank you leisure club! Today, I ordered takeout, but may I add- their location is super cute. Super fun, always a great time there and they have outside seating to where you could bring your dog as well, which is always a place in town.

We had amazing coffee and breakfast! The egg and croissant sandwich was great, also the potatoes!…read moreYum!

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.

I was in town for a wedding. Pensacola also happens to be my home town. And I wanted to find a nice…read morebreakfast one day. I hopped online to do some quick research, and found this place. Definitely new since I left home. I was interested. Ambiance was wonderful. A good amount of seating with each sitting spot feelings mildly secluded, which is nice. No one wants their coffee shop gossip being overheard. And when you walk in, you're first greeted with that classic glass case of available pastries and goodies. It was hard to not just order one of each item. Service was nice. It was counter service, and they bring your order right to your table. Can't ask for better service than that. Nice folks, good small talk. And the food, it was delightful. We got a couple of fancy coffee drinks, which were well-flavored, not too sweet, and the iced one was presented in a mason jar. Classic. We also shared like four food items. The pull-apart monkey bread was sweet and dense and delicious. Don't order this if you're alone. You'll need help to finish it. Got a creme filled pull pastry thing. That was nice. Flakes for days. This was no rough puff. For the chocolate croissant, also known as a pain au chocolat. Again, very flakey, very buttery, the perfect touch of sweet chocolate. And a savory, massive scone. Bacon and chives, I think. Also very good. Crumbly. Overall, I was very surprised. There certainly wasn't anywhere like this in Pensacola when I lived here. This place is a quality bakery that could easily be found in a medium-sized city. I was so pleased and will definitely come back.

Pros: Ambiance was great. Pastry everywhere, nice seating…read morearea, and the smell of fresh baked bread in the air. Service was very friendly. They brought all that we ordered right to our table. Very nice. And the pastries themselves were very high quality. Flakey, not dry, well filled, of a good size. Definitely a high point. Cons: No real cons. I didn't have enough stomach space to try everything I wanted. Lol. Tips: The chocolate croissant and the creme filled thing we got were delicious. The scone was also good, but maybe less good than other things we left on the table. Need to come back here!
