Words can not express how much I love this coffee shop. Id give them 6 stars if I could. My boyfriend and I came to PCB last year for a weekend and found this coffee shop was within walking distance from our hotel so we decided to check them out and were blown away. We made another beach trip and were so excited to come back just to have another one of those mouthwatering cinnamon rolls we keep dreaming about.
They have a variety of pastries that all look so good and make the decision of what to get so hard. The cinnamon roll is the best I've ever had. So much softer and more gooey than Cinnabon and it's loaded with icing. They heat it up for you so it's served warm and it's also big. It just MELTS in your mouth. Seriously a must-try if you come. I've also tried the pumpkin cream pie and coconut matcha loaf. Their pastries have never disappointed. They also have food/lunch options.
Their coffee is also great! The small (12 oz) is made with 2 shots, medium (16oz) with 3 shots, and large (20oz) is made with 4 shots of espresso. So it is a bit on the stronger side but they have a lot of different syrup options (including SF) you can add to sweeten it. There is also a condiments section with cream, sugar, honey, etc. you can add.
I've tried the iced matcha latte, iced caramel macchiato with pumpkin syrup and whip, and the iced white mocha. All were very good. Not overpoweringly sweet, but you can ask them to make it extra sweet if you wish.
The environment is so cute. So many cute couches and tables to study or just hang out. There's a checkers and chess board you can also play with.
They even offer merch. Sweatshirts, tshirts and bags. I couldn't resist getting a sweatshirt because it was adorable. A little pricey (52$) but the material is really nice and also this coffee shop is one of our favorite parts of Panama City Beach so I had to get something to remind me of this place when I'm back home and craving a...
Read moreThe Pour is a good coffee and snacks place on the Front Beach Road.
The Atmosphere is casual, and the layout is the typical open-plan of a commercial food and beverage establishment. Normal table seating is available along the outer walls, with small clusters of couches, stuffed chairs, and coffee tables distributed around the main room. The lighting was not quite dim, but subdued -- perfect for recovering from beach sun in a relaxing but active and inspiring environment.
At minimum coffee and pastries are available. I wasn't there long enough to examine the menu fully.
The Pour is interesting in that it is part of a neighborhood facility serving our unhoused brothers and sisters. Known as The Ark, this larger area (extending one or two blocks back from the main road) provides shelter, fellowship, and some social services. The linking of good quality café offerings in a clean, inspiring, and convenient location with a public service for the less fortunate is quite frankly a small marvel. You can get a coffee, a snack, socialize, and find volunteer opportunities all in one delightful spot.
It has convenient access to Panama City's rightly famous beach only a hundred yards away.
If you're in Panama City Beach, and its exuberant and successful commercialism ever begins to weigh heavily, The Pour makes a fine spot to collect your thoughts, catch your breath, and get your bearings.
The coffee was great, the people were kind and friendly, and the WiFi was free. I intend to visit there next time...
Read moreSummary: Great food and even better price, worship focussed and cozy atmosphere, good service.
I like this place! The food is good, it has a very cozy and pleasant atmosphere, and our attendant was very nice. I ordered the Sweet Granny, and it was DELICIOUS. Not an overstatement; the flavours blended perfectly and the overall effect was this sweet/sour interior sandwiched by a wonderfully warm, crisp and buttery croissant. Amazing. I also ordered a cinnamon roll, because according to recent reviews they were a MUST try. However, while I can’t say I was disappointed, I thought there to be far too much icing. Perhaps (I believe) this is just me, and it is certainly worth mentioning that roll itself was phenomenal, rich in cinnamon-spice flavouring, fluffy, and moist. Mmmmmm! It’s also perfect for sharing with friends and family. My favourite thing about The Pour, however is how “100% of the profits fund the missions at the Ark”, a “unique multi purposed facility bringing hope and fellowship to its locals and visitors.” The whole space has a very worship-focused attitude: they played worship music the whole time I was there, large chalkboards inform you of their mission, and subtle decorations/books on their shelves suggest the holy purpose of the facility. I am sure religious and non-religious people would enjoy a meal at The Pour, so run down and treat yourself!
P.S. They are super pet friendly! Both indoors and outdoors (they have two patios, one on front and...
