Crema's Take

This espresso-focused gem has earned its stellar reputation by combining meticulously crafted drinks—from cardamom coffees to their signature "Poetchino"—with an genuinely welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger for hours. The pastry case is a real draw, especially their celebrated carrot coffeecake with its perfect balance of crunchy pecans and creamy frosting, paired with thoughtful lunch options that go beyond typical coffee shop fare. Locals and visitors alike rave about the kind, attentive staff and calm, eclectic vibe that makes The Drowsy Poet feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like a creative sanctuary.

So far the best coffee hands-down in Pensacola just right I had ordered a small cardamom coffee because I was afraid I wouldn’t like it, but it has been the best tasting coffee and made just the right not too sweet

Their carrot coffeecake is the best!!! I love the texture of crunchy from the pecans combines with the soft moistness of the cake and top with the delicious cream cheese. So gooooddddd!!!! I can’t stop eating it. It’s come with the perfect personal size and Of course I have it with it with coffee latte. The staff is very friendly, nice and helpful. The service is fast and the place is clean and so cozy. There are plenty of seats inside and the Christian music makes it cozier. Little note: they charged for small business fee on every transaction which is great to help them stay in the business.

Great little eclectic coffee shop. I had the “Shakespeare” and a cranberry/oatmeal scone and took a turkey & Swiss sandwich with me for later. Service was friendly and fast, food was good, and the atmosphere was delightful. I’ll stop in again.

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.

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.
