A quirky little coffee shop that we came upon on Brent Lane after leaving the airport this morning. I had the vanilla latte and an everything bagel . The staff was friendly and efficient. The wait time was very minimal. Judging by the number of cars in the parking lot and at the drive thru window, I’d say that it’s quite popular. Give them a try

Our first visit here on 86 Brent Lane location. The staff is amazing very kind and welcoming to us and we each ordered a coffee. It had a calm atmosphere & the variety of Pastries! Omg I was not warned about that. The coffee didn’t make an impression on us. Maybe I’ll try a pastry next time.

Gluten free treats: Drowsy Poet is THE best place for Coffee in #Pensacola Florida. Their coffees are made to perfection, The atmosphere is incredible, the owner... A Hunk , but the gluten free treats! I have had many gluten free baked goods throughout the area... NOBODY makes gluten free brownies, muffins, and scones as good as Poet. All made in house! The best I have ever had.

While visiting Pensacola, this is my favorite coffee place to go. The staff and environment are amazing and quality of the drinks are top class. My favorite drink is the poetchino and the breakfast food/pastries are good here too. I highly recommend swinging by and checking it out.

Not a true coffee drinker, just had a craving. I was treated with a smile. The pastries are a feast for the eyes. Gave the person at the counter very specific instructions “something sweet, oat milk, drizzle and whip cream” lol The barista hit it on the nail! Bacon, egg and cheese croissant was delicious, not soggy and real bacon!! Orange slices great surprise touch to cleanse the palate. First timer here, will definitely be back!!!

Favorite coffee shop of all time. Bold but smooth roast. My white mocha tastes the exact same every time at every location I go to. Any coffee I’ve ordered has been delicious. I’d recommend a shakespear, poe white mocha. The breakfast quiche is one of my fav quick breakfasts and their pastries are great too. Fair prices for absolutely delicious coffee and snacks.
