Bodacious Brew

Good coffee
Nice Area
Good for people watching
Good for sitting and studying

Great place and delicious coffee. I had a chemex pour over which is excellent for those who prefer black coffee. These guys CLEARLY know what they’re doing. Drop by before everyone else figures it out!

The breakfast was excellent! The Julia child sandwich was amazing. I also enjoyed their pour over coffee. I will definitely return.

Customer beware: do not buy any coffee to go; the lids do not fit the cup. The lid comes off with the least of pressure, just picking up the cup the lid will come off and a hot spill is a sure thing. Granted the coffee is good but Bodacious Brew should make better investments in lids

Bodacious Brew is over-​priced and they have a very simple menu. I ordered an iced vanilla latte, which tasted okay, but I couldn’t pick up any of the vanilla (maybe due to the teaspoon or so of coffee grounds in the bottom of the cup *cough*). They serve ice cream and pastries as well. It’s bigger and has more seating than Fosko’s down the street, and the staff were friendly as well.

The vanilla latte is beyond amazing! The best I have ever had. Anytime we are in Pensacola, this is a must do stop for our family!

Excellent espresso from multiple roasters. Good wifi, too.

The coffee that I have had at Bodacious is great. Service is also fast. However, Bodacious Brew is a bit too fast paced and loud for my tastes. I find it hard to chat with friends unless we can score an outdoor table, which isn’t often. The indoor tables are tiny save for one larger table. I’m a coffee shop studier and the environment is not conducive to being able to study. But, like I said, the coffee is great. Good for on the go, which seems to be a lot of their business.

Very good, modern hipster-​grade coffee! Seemed to be a lighter, sweet, yet nutty roast. Milk texture and pour, spot-​on. Service was great, even got at ETA from the barista of when my latte would be ready.

I haven’t seen that many coffee joints with a siphon coffee maker AND a chemex so this spot automatically gets 4 stars. I mean, it also helps that the staff is friendly and the interior design is welcoming/​pleasant. The breakfast items looked promising as did the baked goods. I haven’t ever bought anything next door at the Bodacious Olive but apparently the olive oil they sell is on point.
Anyway, if you’re here, get yourself some coffee made in the siphon and they’re out of filters or something stupid, get some made via the chemex. Seats can be a hot commodity during peak hours so take this into account if you’re in a group.
Basically, Bodacious is a great spot for coffee in the heart of downtown Pensacola. Grab some breakfast/​lunch at amazing next door restaurants such as Carmen’s or Ruby Slipper.

When out of town, I very much enjoy stopping by the local coffee shops (or anything that’s not a Starbucks).
I read about Bodacious Brew on Unilocal,and decided to come in for a latte – and to use their free wifi. The baristas were very welcoming and definitely scored some brownie points with me. We talked about Miami, football, which I know nothing about, celebrities and then I got my order in.
The latte was delicious and their artistry was evident from how they angled the cream to pour perfectly into the cup. I’m always very impressed by that. Since I was there for business, I set up my laptop on one of the tables along the large window facing Main Street. I was there for a little over two hours and I got to watch some of the transactions with other customers. The staff always maintained a smile on their faces – and they didn’t kick me out.
I noticed some of their breakfast specials looked pretty good, but I was just there for the coffee. As for parking, there was free street parking outside for a max of 2 hours. I went a little over, and luckily didn’t have any issues. I could tell a lot of locals (and students) also made a routine of checking in to read/​study or maybe just tweet/​Instagram/​Facebook. They made me feel right at home so I hope to stop by again before leaving Pensacola.

This café serves delicious coffee and sweet treats. Pretty nice vibe combination of hip and homey.

Stay home. Pull the dryer out away from the wall. Whatever you find back there put it into boiling water. Pour contents into a mug. Call it coffee and serve it to all your friends… well that’s what you would do if you wanted to replicate bodacious brew’s coffee.
I’m new to Pensacola and I was excited about this place. The reviews were amazing and it’s ALWAYS packed. I ordered a regular 12oz coffee and I couldn’t even finish it. If you’re downtown around 9 on a Saturday do yourself a favor and walk down to the other end of palofax and grab a coffee from the farmers market. It tastes significantly better, costs less, and the people are friendlier.

I’m always surprised that a place like Pensacola has a coffee shop as good as this.
For starters, the coffee’s great, they have verve and sightglass. My drink of choice is a cortado, and I’ve had them many times from many different places, and they honestly make my favorite one. I’ve had the vanilla latte a couple times as well, which was wonderful.
I think the best part is how they remember their clientele though. I speak with a pretty severe stutter, so ordering at places like this can be a bit of a hassle and quite embarrassing at times. They quickly started to remember me and what I order, and now as soon as I walk in they start making a cortado for me and I don’t have to say a word. It’s hugely appreciated, I’ll be coming here as long as I live in the area. It’s definitely worth the drive to come here over places like Starbucks, drowsy poet, etc.

Excellent coffee and service. Very clean. Bathrooms are clean. Food is great and the coffee is amazing! I recommend Bodacious Brew to everyone.

Cool Vibe, great location and fair prices make this THE PLACE to stop for a break while walking around downtown Pensacola or heading back to the highway from the beach.

What a cool place! I’m so happy to see Pensacola get into craft coffee! This shop uses Verve roastery. We got a few different drinks. The coldbrew wasn’t very strong for us but if you like a little milder taste that’d be for you. The espresso was a little on the sour side but I though the beans were good. We had some cappuccinos that they serve wet (not foamy) and I like that very much.
They have a manual brew bar that consists of pour over, chemex (which IS a pour over as well), French press and siphon.
I love how simple the menu is here. The inside is gorgeous and everyone was really nice. Even met the owner for a quick minute.

The Leisure Club isn’t even on our radar anymore. Bodacious Brew does everything better – especially their customer service. The coffee is good and the espresso drinks are better. They leave you craving more. Even our 5 year old asks to go here for a (decaf) cappuccino. I prefer the cappuccino since I don’t care for a lot of milk. My husband loves their latte. When I’m feeling crazy I’ll get mine with vanilla.

Stopped by for the last two mornings while running errands. Please stop by and enjoy every neuance this little place offers. Plenty of seats in and out side the establishment. They serve light food, teas and coffee. And from what I hear, great desserts too.
I had a vanilla Latte everyday, worth the drive to Palifox.

From Bodacious Olive to Bodacious Brew, soon it will be Bodacious Block. If you want a successful business, just have the owners of these two businesses put there name in front of it.
But, by and large the reason that this business is so successful is the quality and consistency of the work that is applied. These Barista’s are vetted professionals and artists in their own right. Not only do they make an artistic cup of coffee, they make a great couple coffee. It’s a great place to people watch. I only have high hopes for the bodacious brew.
