    Came here for a coffee and yap with my mom. The shop is located inside an old-school movie theatre that also houses a church. The inside is large and spacious. You walk in to the lobby of the "movie theatre" and immediately see the counter to order/where the baristas are. Straight back is a dimly lit seating area with a variety of seat types and directly to your left is the cutest little nook with two high back chairs positioned in front of the window. The barista was friendly and when my mom asked for something not quite on the menu, she was able to make it. We ordered the salter caramel pistachio latte and a shaken espresso with whole milk and sugar free vanilla syrup. Both were delicious. I can't wait to come back and try other items from the menu.

    Stopped in this past weekend before walking around the Palafox market. I ordered a matcha latte with coconut milk and pistachio syrup. It was very good matcha, you can tell they use quality matcha powder. My sister got the cookie butter latte which she loved! My niece who is 8 months old enjoyed the "lil rex" with strawberry.

    I'm gonna be honest... I only found this place because I was walking to Fosko's x) But I am ALWAYS looking for smaller and/or lesser known businesses to support, so I decided to try it. First, the people are great. I had the pleasure of interacting with multiple employees, all of which were so friendly. I was welcomed in immediately, which was such a pleasant experience, especially when you're used to almost being ignored when walking into the bigger, busier shops. The vibe in here is so chill and romantic. Easy background music, warm lights -- "inspired by European cafes and old Hollywood movies" was the inspiration, and it couldn't be more accurate. Multiple little nooks for you to sit down at. I got the iced chai tea and banana bread, both of which were delicious. If you're a student or you work from home and are looking for a new place to enjoy your work days -- REX IS IT.

    Great coffee, friendly service, and a relaxing environment with WIFI. A nice spot to relax and enjoy a moment during your day! There's lots of modern comfortable furniture to sit, bring your lap top, and get some work done while sipping on a cup of deliciousness.

    I've been on vacation in the area for about a week now. Tried multiple coffee shops that seemed really popular but found them all disappointing. I suppose I'm a bit of a snob and want my latte well made. I stopped by here and noticed the good reviews online. It was excellent! The people working were nice, and seemed to know what they were doing. I make lattes at home myself and am a former barista, and noticed they did it all right when I briefly watched them make it. It was delicious. Highly recommend

    Great new coffee shop downtown with the most Delightful of spirits serving you! They also have THE best espresso never consumed!

    Such a great spot to grab some coffee and a snack. I loved their nitro cold brew. We also got their Latte which had a really good flavor.

    Brilliant concept for the Java lovers and liquor imbibers alike…read more The interior is luxe by Pensacola standards. Large overstuffed pin cushion leather sofas. Coffered ceilings. Exposed, real old brick that's from god knows when. Lots of copper old fashion coffee roasters. Bespoke bar. I dig the vibe and haven't even tried the patio yet. The Irish latte was delish. The whipped baileys cream on top delightful. My husband had the French 75 which was mildly citrus in such a pleasant way. Zero burn or bitterness for a straight black coffee beverage which impressed me! We had an omelette and the blueberry muffin. Omelette was tasty, fresh, hot and had ample cheese and ham. I liked the Dijon topped on. The muffin was really extra. It was large and it was covered in coffee cake sugar kind of crumble. Really big, generous serving of blueberries. It was super moist. Hate to add to the hype of this place because I admit, theres already a line out the door, but I only just recently discovered it after being here nearly a year. It's a wonderful Find and I'm already planning to make it one of my regular stops.

    Super cute coffee shop right in the heat of downtown Pensacola! There was a short line on arrival…read moreand several smiling faces at tables across the room. The copper espresso machines and coffee bean roasting equipment was unique to see while you waited for your order. The barista had great recs and the menu was diverse. We ordered the Maple Brown Sugar Latte that's made with organic maple syrup from Vermont! It wasn't overly sweet which I appreciated. We also ordered a standard latte that was nice. We saw several orders of savory looking crepes come out as we waited- will have to try next time!

    Craving AWEFUL food and even WORSE service, then come to Bagelheads!

Bad doesn't even begin to describe this place. Want to see the dumbing down of America on full display...just come here to watch the employees in action. Ever wondered what food service looks like without management...again, have a look here. In a tale as old as time, order was misplaced, food was cold, and no shits by the staff (other than a piss poor attitude) were given. 20 minutes for cold egg bites and a toasted bagel (that wasn't toasted) with butter (not melted), all for only having 2 people order in front of me. Coffee urns are never changed out, and always empty and/or cold. The only this they're able to do consistently well is to turn the iPad around when paying and expect a tip! Save yourself the time, trouble and money...GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!! There are too many good eating establishments in this town to continue supporting this miserable, pathetic excuse of an eatery. It used to be great, but has changed for the worse.

    I love this cafe! It is one of the coolest spots I have ever visited. Amazing coffee, delicious…read morefood with so many vegan options, plus a skate park, surf shop, and retail clothing all in one. My go-to is the vegan Costa wrap. It is 10 out of 10, packed with protein, the melted vegan cheese is actually good, the burrito is seared and crunchy, and the salsa is perfect. The vegan pastries and desserts are phenomenal as well. I highly recommend the s'mores cupcake or the banana bread. They also have tasty smoothies. The pumpkin spice latte with oat milk or a vanilla iced latte is also great. The staff is very friendly and personable, making it a great place to sit and get work done. With a skate park, surfboards, shoes, clothing, and other goodies for sale, there is so much to explore. I highly recommend checking it out!

    This is inside a skate/ surf shop. The outside does not look like a restaurant…read more Inside has cute surf and skate decor and friendly staff. All vegan baked goods in the glass case. Some also gf. Did not try any Wide range of coffees. My golden milk was unsweetened which I appreciate. I'll ask if the chai is also. That would be great. Plain drip coffee was better than most! Not bitter and pretty strong Hawaiian/ Japanese breakfast with spam available We had a traditional plate with scrambled eggs and a plate of rip tide tacos with chorizo. Tacos were good. Scramble was as expected.
