Maker's Cafe & Espresso Bar — Restaurant in Pensacola

This espresso bar and café is a must-visit, whether you’re a local or just visiting downtown for the day.

The star of the show is definitely their craft espresso beverages. I typically order an iced oat milk latte, but today I tried an iced espresso with a splash of oatmilk and it was the perfect afternoon pick-me-up. Their espresso is some of the best in Pensacola.

As for their food, you can’t go wrong with any of their baked-in-house goodies, but their new banana bread with whipped espresso mascarpone is delicious and a must-try if you want a sweeter but elevated treat. Their avocado toast is also delightful if you’re wanting something savory—it’s hearty and the flavors are next-level.

Highly recommend this café. The vibes inside are bright and cheerful, and their offerings are great whether you’re dining in...

Food was tasty, mellow ambiance, menu is limited, and very cozy inside. My friend and I went to Maker’s cafe at about 11am ish on a Monday and it was surprisingly crowded. They only have 4 meal items on their menu and they ran out of the quiche that my friend ordered so she just got the toast.

That really isn’t the job of the customers to specify if they’re vegan or not. For now not really friendly to non-vegans. Will give it a second chance after getting...

Wonderful alternative to the other coffee shops in the downtown area. Much much better than Bodacious across the road and a better (calmer) vibe than Foskos down on the other end of Palafox. The Latte and the "London Fog" were both nicely made and the staff are super friendly. My ONLY valid criticism is this: There is absolutely no need in this day and age to UPCHARGE a dollar for plant based milk. And, although super friendly and helpful, the staff need to know what VEGAN means (both cows milk AND butter in the snacks are not Vegan). Overall a great place to sit and relax with a nicely prepared drink. Fingers crossed that this place becomes more vegan friendly in the future as it's a terrific...
