Best Coffee Shops in Pensacola
Table of Contents
Mrs. Jones Coffee
Mrs. Jones Coffee used to be my go-to coffee stop at Palafox Market on Saturdays. Now, it is one of the best coffee shops in Pensacola and you can get your fix nearly every day of the week, or every day if you also purchase their concentrate elixirs to have some great residential coffee. Mrs. Jones Cold Brew offers a variety of dairy-free, preservative-free, and customizable cold brew coffee. The coffee shop has a great atmosphere and a bookstore, The Idle Reader, located inside the coffee bar. Grab a Salted Caramel Cold Brew Latte and sit down with a terrific book.

I love the Byron, which is a Chai Latte.

Perfect Blend
Perfect Blend has some of the best coffee in Navarre. They offer brewed coffee and teas, lattes, cream freezes, non-coffee drinks, smoothies, and a seasonal menu. Their brewed coffee is strong, so it will wake you up. My go to order is the Dirty Chai, but I love trying their seasonal drinks. I have even had the Butterbeer signature drink, and it was amazing (not the same flavor profiles as Universal, but close enough when you aren’t there!)
Perfect Blend is also “more than a cup of coffee” and provides employment opportunities for adults with disabilities. This gives me even more reasons to stop by and grab a cup of coffee.
