Good coffee and chill ambience, but the great thing about jitterbug is the gluten free baked goods are in their own case and are safe for those that need to eat gluten free.
This was our first time there and spoiler, we WILL be back!!
So start to finish:
We arrived and the atmosphere was fantastic and lively with live jazz being played inside. It was kinda loud but meh, it’s worth it. We were quoted 30-45 mins and got sat within 14mins.
Sweet tea to drink and it was yummy.
I got the fried chicken, Mac & cheese, and green beans. Hubs got the shrimp and grits which was gluten free, as well as a side of their yams.
When I tell you my husband was in HEAVEN. He said that’s the best shrimp and grits he’s ever had and the corn bread was fantastic.
My chicken was moist and flavored wonderfully! The Mac and cheese was gooey and I was indifferent about the green beans.
Our server was nice and didn’t hover but made sure we had what we needed.
Definitely coming back to try new things!
This place is great and we frequent it often. However can you please add your gluten free options to Uber Eats and other carriers? I have to call every time to change my order to sub for gluten free bread. This most recent time I waited on hold for over 20 minutes. It would just save both the employees and gluten free customers a lot of time.
Food is always yummy here. The one of gluten-free carb option is a oatmeal pancake and they were out of it. They don't even have any potatoes that are gluten-free friendly because all the potatoes come preseasoned and to have flour on them. The waitress was wonderful in explaining this. There was no guarantee that the grits would be safe either. They also don't have a vegetarian omelet option. However they are able to convert the garden frittata into an omelette which was quite good.
Great atmosphere, food, and service. Gluten free options marked on the menu, and our server was knowledgeable about cross contamination. No reactions from the celiacs in our family. Will definitely be back!
I was deciding where to have our last breakfast/brunch before heading home, and this place was the best. It was enough for both of us. I have gluten restrictions, and this place has tons of gluten-free options. The waffles were great. The baked potatoes were excellent. Even the drinks session was good. This will definitely be my go-to when I return to Pensacola.
This place was absolutely amazing! Our waitress Denise went above and beyond! My avocado toast was everything from beautiful to delicious. Don’t sleep on the black coffee either! They have all the creamers! This place also keeps in mind gut health and eating restrictions! Gluten free isn’t something they shy away from! Beautiful, healthy, and homey🙌🏻🫶🏻
I love the atmosphere at Drowsy Poet every time I visit. everyone is so sweet, and the coffee is fantastic. I love all the different options for baked goods, including LOTS of Gluten Free options 💕 thanks so much for being awesome, y'all!!
Always blown away by the care the baristas put into their craft. As someone with Celiac disease it’s amazing to find a coffee shop that takes the time to make sure it’s safe for me! Will always return!
One of my new favs! I just wish all their food was gluten free rather than some. But overall, the coffee was unique and flavorful, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the gluten free dessert i did try was definitely gourmet 😍 YUM
Dog friendly!! And bottomless mimosas! Super impressed with this rad cappuccino and all day breakfast spot. A character filled coffee shop that has free wifi for remote work and expanded from an indoor skate park/surf shop. I ordered the Ala Moana Acai but my partner's Steak n Egg melt was too good looking not to steal a few bites. Smoothies, vegan/gluten free options, and a delicious pastry bar! The employees really take pride in the food they're serving. We came in right as they opened on a Sunday so it was peaceful but I read they have live music events and I bet it can get crowded so come early!
Majority of the main dishes can be made gluten free! Tell your server and the chef will double check everything and also cook things in a different pan just so you can eat that item instead of frying it in a fryer that could have a cross contamination issue
Pensacola’s favorite neighborhood restaurant! Great food and a charming environment. Food is always fresh and flavorful. Great space for business meetings, either at a table or if renting the private room in the back for a larger party. Staff are always friendly and attentive. Plenty of gluten free options, and even offer GF tamari soy sauce for sushi!
We came in for a quick breakfast and I needed gluten free pancakes. They were perfect with bananas and strawberries. The waitress’s were fantastic in their interactions with customers and especially the younger children. Our waitress, Ashlee, was super nice and checked on us several times.
AMAZING. the food was very delicious. Most of the dishes gluten free and the amount of food you receive is wonderful for that price. The owners are very friendly.
SO good. Great service, atmosphere, amazing food! The chef accommodated my dairy/gluten free needs and my meal was incredible. So glad to have found this place and will definitely be back! Espresso martini also a 10!
It's a 66-mile, hour and a half round trip from our home, and we will make it often. My wife has a gluten allergy that cause her knuckles to swell, muscles to ache, and just make her miserable. She is looking forward to our next trip. (We have some gluten pills that make life livable, but barely.)
Fried Green Tomatoes, OUTSTANDING!
Onion Rings, OUTSTANDING !
Chicken Tenders, OUTSTANDING!
We ordered 4 pc tender snack, 6 pc tender dinner with onion rings instead of fries, and a side of fried green tomatoes. We had 4 tenders, 4 fried tomato slices, 6 onion rings, and most of the fries left. We put them in 2 boxes and took them home. I douted these leftovers would ever regain their psst glory. But, au contraire...the air frier (350° for 5 minutes) brought them back to crunchy l
tasty life.
Wow. Finally a restaurant that offers everything someone that is gluten free can order like a normal person. Their shop inside offers really cute thing too.
I am one of those picky eaters, only eat certain foods at certain places, etc. This restaurant has impressed me! The food is delicious!! Portions more than adequate. I cannot express how incredible the staff and services were during our visit. My friend cannot eat anything with gluten, so we were concerned that she would have trouble finding something she could eat. They went out of their way to help find her the best meal! I will absolutely come back here, and I will recommend this place to anyone that is hungry for delicious, authentic Mexican food!
Best place for tacos, tamales, chilaquiles and soup. Be sure to get an aquas frescas. Their tortillas are hand made fresh and gluten free. Absolutely a place to go if you live or visit Pensacola.
I've never been as angry over a dining experience as I am right now.
I went here tonight and ordered a Cuban sandwich. I specifically ordered it gluten free as I have Celiac disease. When it was brought out, I could see it didn't look like their gf bread (I've eaten here before so I know what it looks like). I asked the bartender repeatedly if it was gluten free, and she assured me it was. It should've been a red flag that it didn't look like it should've and she didn't go to the kitchen to confirm, but I started eating it anyway. Lesson learned: trust your instincts. Got through about half, and I could tell it wasn't gluten free. I asked the bartender again, and again she assured me it was gf. There happened to be a mrmber of the kitchen staff getting off shift sitting at the bar, and he cut in to say that no, it absolutely wasnt gluten free, confirming my fears. As someone with Celiac, I knew how this would turn out and I'd be really sick. I tried to explain this to the bartender, but she really couldn't care less and offered to box up my leftovers. Lol, sure, box up the literal poison on my plate. It would've taken her 30 seconds to go to the kitchen and confirm when I originally asked. Instead, I'm at home less than 30 minuted later already crying from the stomach pain. The staff here definitely don't take allergies/medical issues seriously. I'll never trust them again.
