Soooo, as many of you know, I don’t limit everything that I say to just real estate.\u00a0 I love to highlight our area and the small business owners in town.\u00a0 One day not too long ago I decided to figure out who had the best coffee in Foley AL so I set out on a mission.\u00a0 I’ll be honest, I was pretty amped up on caffeine by the end of the day (you’ll see that in the video below).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I first went to Yelp to see their reviews for the best coffee in Foley.\u00a0 I already knew about these Foley coffee shops but I wanted to see how they ranked.\u00a0 Here are the top 3 coffee shops in Foley that we’ll be talking about:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Drowsy Poet<\/li>\n
  2. Southern Shores Coffee Shop<\/li>\n
  3. Gypsy Queen Java<\/li>\n
  4. Seven Brew Drive Thru Coffee (a new business that came up after the initial writing of this post)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Drowsy Poet Coffee Company<\/h2>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    Coming in at #1 on Yelp’s list was The Drowsy Poet and I have to agree with the reviewers.\u00a0 Although I loved all three locations, I would have to give a slight nod to The Drowsy Poet.\u00a0 This is very well known in Foley because it was an old gas station that they converted into a great coffee shop and it’s just past downtown Foley on the right if you’re heading to the beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

    They still have the overhang area where folks used to pump gas which makes for great outdoor seating.\u00a0 However, there is ample seating indoors as well.\u00a0 You’ll find bar seating as soon as you walk in but off to the right, there is are plenty of tables where the garage bays are.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


    <\/span><\/p>\n

    Along with many signature drinks named after poets (imagine that), they do have an expansive menu for smoothies, hot coffee drinks, and food items.\u00a0 Check out their website here…Drowsy Poet<\/a><\/p>\n

    \u00a0I really loved this place for more reasons than just the coffee.\u00a0 The atmosphere was really cool and the tall ceilings definitely help.\u00a0 Check them out if you haven’t already.<\/p>\n

    Southern Shores Coffee<\/h2>\n

    Southern Shores Coffee is located\u00a0at 716 S McKenzie Street and you can find out more about them here on <\/span>their website<\/a>.\u00a0 The coffee shop is right off the highway so it can easily be found.\u00a0 Heading south, Southern Shores will be on the right hand side about a half mile<\/span>away from downtown Foley.\u00a0 The coffee shop is large with plenty of seating.\u00a0 When you first walk in the door you’ll see a pool table to the right.\u00a0 The vibe is laid back and beachy for sure, which matches perfectly with where we live!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Southern Shores has a large menu of both coffee and food items.\u00a0 Ofcourse you’ll find the usual brewed and cold coffee drinks but you’ll also see an array of espresso drinks and frappes.\u00a0 I counted 23 different frappe drinks for instance.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Southern Shores also has a wide range of syrup options as well (sugar free included).\u00a0 I counted 26 different flavors.\u00a0 So, there are literally thousands of different ways that you can get your coffee just how you like it.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Their food menu includes a nice sellection of breakfast, lunch, and dessert choices.\u00a0 For breakfast you may decide on an Asiago bagel with ham, egg, and swiss or go with the quiche instead.\u00a0 Their current menu has 7 items on the breakfast menu.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

    For lunch, there are 9 items to choose from with options like chicken salad on a croissant or a tomato mozzarella panini.<\/p>\n

    Finally, you can’t have coffee without a nice dessert menu.\u00a0 Here you can have cheesecake, muffins, or even a canolli.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Gypsy Queen Java<\/h2>\n

    What a cool place to relax and have a cup of Joe!\u00a0 Gypsy Queen Java<\/a> is very ecclectic with interesting art pieces along with a great vibe.\u00a0 It’s located directly in downtown Foley at 109 W Laurel Ave.<\/p>\n

    It’s a fairly small space but there is plenty of interesting things to look at while having a great cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

    Along with regular brewed coffee, you’ll find lattes, cappuccinos, americanos, and 7 signature drinks.\u00a0 I had the Government Mule with caramel, espresso, and milk which was fantastic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

    There is some parking in the front but you’re more likely to find a spot behind the coffee shop but it’s a short walk to get your caffiene fix.<\/p>\n

    When you first walk in you’ll see seating for about 8 people but there’s other more cozy seating in the rear of the restaurant.<\/p>\n

    Yelp highlights a bunch of 4 and 5 start ratings which is why it comes in 3rd as the best place to get coffee in Foley.<\/p>\n
