    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.

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

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.

Whether going to a gate or deplaning, there aren't too many food options. In this situation, I was deplaning and the snacks served on two Southwest segments did not amount to a meal. I was hungry. I spotted this Epstein Brothers Bagels on the way out of the concourse, right before going down the escalators to street level. It's a name I know. I'm not really a fan, except of the store in Fort Lauderdale's downtown and financial area at Broward Blvd. and Federal Highway. That's because that store has the entertaining "everything and the kitchen sink" dynamic of South Florida. I ordered a chicken sandwich on a ciabatta roll and a small plastic bottle of orange juice. It wasn't as high as some airport's prices, but definitely higher than what I recall Epstein Brothers on terra ferma charging. The small sandwich was served warm, its ingredients were good, and a bottle of orange juice is a bottle of orange juice. The store wasn't particularly crowded at mid-day, so I was attended to quickly. The service was forgettable, so that means there were no issues. The store is clean and gets a lot of borrowed illumination from the well-lit concourse. The small meal did what it needed to do and because the chain is no longer featuring those delicious sun-dried tomato bagels, it's 3 stars.

    I got the sesame bagel with cream cheese and a house coffee. Friendly service ! Fast, easy,…read moreconvenient.

Regardless of what you want to call this iconic business, you really cannot go wrong. Dunkin' has grown considerably since Bill Rosenberg opened the first location in Quincy, Massachusetts back in 1950. The company has since expanded to somewhere around thirteen thousand locations in over forty countries. I would say that Dunkin' is best known for their donuts (though if you would like, we cam spell it doughnuts) and coffee, though my go-to here is neither. My usual order at a Dunkin' is probably their bagels with cream cheese. While I would never say that Dunkin' has the best bagels with cream cheese (I grew up in New Jersey and I know great bagels), they are pretty good, especially when you consider that the bagels are coming from a global chain. I have often used Dunkin' (or if you prefer, Dunkin' Donuts) as a co-conspirator in bringing a culinary bribe of coffee and donuts to early morning meetings. There is nothing like some coffee and donuts to help inspire a bit more attention and maybe the wisp of a smile upon the tired faces of the various teams that I am meeting with. Whatever you choose to go with, you cannot go wrong with anything that you order at Dunkin'. Overall, I will give this location five stars and they definitely have my recommendation.

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!
