Carpe Diem is a charming coffee shop set in a quaint old Victorian house, and is popular in Mobile…read morefor a reason. They roast their beans in house, and the staff is always friendly. For instance, advised that my daughter was shy when the kid hesitated to order one day, the barista brightened up even more and put the girl at ease. Whether their coffee is good or not is completely subjective. I think it's good overall, but it might not be my first choice in town. But it's made with care, and as mentioned, roasted in house. Its popularity speaks to its quality. They also have a very good selection of pastries and other goodies to accompany your coffee, including a Mobile institution--cheesecake from a local company called Cotton Blues. The only gripe I have about Carpe Diem is their seating setup. There simply isn't enough of it. That said, I don't know how they could use the space more efficiently, since the cafe is small as it is. I prefer more private seating, which in other coffee houses I've been to has been accomplished with the judicious use of plants or high-backed chairs. The biggest component of the crowded seating is due to students from Springhill College across the street. Today, for instance, my husband and I were unable to find any seating at all. Even on the days when we can find seating, being entirely surrounded by people working quietly on their laptops feels awkward and lends a library-like feel to the atmosphere. It feels rude to have a conversation at a regular level. I feel like I'm intruding. I don't know how a coffee shop should handle this conundrum, as it's really not good business practice to limit customers' time while there, or to turn away clientele, even in an attempt to please all of their customers. There is already a back room which seems to be an unofficial space dedicated to students, but the overflow still takes up much of the cafe. That said, I enjoy Carpe Diem and going there is a nice little treat. I would definitely recommend it.

I really liked this coffee shop. It was in a beautiful area near our hotel. The cappuccino was very…read moregood. It tasted very traditional like a coffee in Rome. The morning glory (I think that's the name) muffin was excellent chock full of nuts, spices, raisins and a homemade taste like carrot cake. They had a selection of chocolate as well. It was beautiful inside. It got busy on a Sunday morning with a nice group of people. Staff was fine but not super warm. I'd go back. It's great.

I've tried the coffee drinks, smoothies, shakes and their black tea and have never been disappointed. They keep the parking lot consistently clean and clear. The crew works hard to get orders accurate and served out quickly especially when they're busy. I've gotten to know a few of the Brew Crew that have been there the longest and have to recognize Faith, Andrea and Sam for being the absolute best! They recognize their regular customers and are always consistent in their customer service! I can always count on them to literally make my day. I hope their manager truly appreciates them and what they bring to the 7Brew team!

I didn't wan't a big breakfast prior to lunch so I decided to stop by PJ's for a breakfast sandwich and coffee. I last visited a PJ's when I was in NOLA last year. This morning I ordered a Turkey sausage with egg and cheese sandwich, on an English Muffin. It was surprisingly good! It's actually better than Starbucks sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. What I loved about it is that the English Muffin was soft and not over baked. Coffee was great. I took it with me and finished it later. I also ordered a cinnamon walnut coffee cake. The coffee cake was a great compliment to the coffee. Staff was friendly here and it didn't take that long to receive my order. If you're looking for lighter breakfast and staying in or around Tillman's Corner, I recommend checking out PJ's. My bill of sale was reasonable priced as well. I'll definitely return here when in Mobile again.

I always judge a coffee shop by the quality of their plain espresso shot. I find that's the best…read moreway of knowing if the coffee is actually good or in need of milk products. So that said, as this was our first visit, we stopped in for an espresso. The baristas were very friendly and welcoming and even informed us that their usual espresso shot was a double shot and asked if that was ok for us. Which was great because that would have been too much for us today and we were able to split the shot between us. The espresso was delicious with a delicate flavor of butter and dark chocolate. It had a slight bitterness to it, but not an over roasted or burned taste. The flavor changed as the shot cooled and was actually sweeter once cooled to room temperature which was surprising. Overall a great tasting espresso experience! We will definitely go back whenever we are in town and I look forward to trying their cinnamon rolls next stop in!
