I love the Drowsy poet! Their coffee and specialty coffee drinks are amazing.My favorite is the aloha latte! I love their breakfast sandwiches and their quiche is amazing. Chocolate chip cookies don't even get me started. All Of their breakfast and baked goods are delicious! Great service and friendly staff! Most definitely beats out all the other coffee shops around! Five stars!

I had an Iced Salted Blondie, and I must say it was exactly what I wanted and expected. Perfect mix of bitter and sweet. They also dont overload the ice, thereby leaving room for more delicious coffee in the cup. Hung out outside on the shaded patio and enjoyed my coffee and wafers.

This is a MUST GO stop in the Gulf Shores area. We were visiting for the first time on vacation and stopped by to look through our stash of books we purchased at the used bookstore around the corner from the coffee shop. The atmosphere is amazing! It is in an old time filling station and the decorations take every advantage of highlighting this theme so creatively. The staff were excellent and the coffee and food items we got were delightful. The only drawback was that it was a scorchingly hot day and there was just an industrial fan on the floor--no AC. It worked with the decor and vibe, bit not for comfort! I would still visit this coffee shop if they lit a fire in the middle of July!

Cool spot! Drowsy Poet is a quaint coffee shop located in Foley, which is about 20 minutes north of Gulf Shores. I stopped here for about 30 minutes before driving back to Texas in order to enjoy some quite reading and a hot coffee. The inside is spacious, with two different rooms filled with chairs and tables. There is also an outside patio, if you're into stuff like that. The black coffee wasn't anything mind-blowing, but they seemed to have a lot of different different flavored lattes that looked good. The staff was also really kind and welcoming. I would definitely recommend if you're in town!

Super cute coffee shop from an old Fuel station. Food was prepped, you choose from the cooler & they will heat it up. Coffee was creative & classy. They even have a kid menu for drinks. They have egg begal sandwiches and quiches for hot food as well as scones, muffins and begals.
