the leisure club coffee bar & restaurant

quality of everything we ordered was above and beyond excellent!! the portions however, very small. an extra biscuit and more than two small red potatoes and 2 oz of sausage would have gone a long way. we we're not expecting a buffet or bottomless plates, and we went there for quality, but left feeling a little hungry. for $48 worth of food on a sunday just a little under impressed.

there aren't very many tables and there is usually a crowd but the weekend brunch is very good. the yogurt parfait is tasty and the frittata is excellent as well

we stopped in on a whim on a saturday, debating between just a coffee or a full midday meal.  we got a table and perused the menu.  the menu looked tasty, but none of the options seemed to be exactly what we were searching for.  i opted for a caramel latte, complete with the homemade flavoring, which was my favorite part of the visit.  it was absolute perfection!  he got a tlc smoothie, which was a blend of tasty flavors, none of them overwhelming.  all in all, from my experience this is a cute little place.  now that we know what to expect, next time we'll likely stick around longer.

saturday brunch is the best - $5 bottomless mimosas. i've been for brunch, lunch, and happy hour. if you're stopping in for a breezy drink after work, try the cheese board. the menu is limited; but they do run daily specials. i go more for their beverage options than food choices..

details, details..... great concept, and i really like the new location centrally located to residential/commercial pensacola. there is great need for a neighborhood breakfast/happy hour that is offers something different. i dropped in for happy hour and liked the weekday vibe of college students, military and a table of people having a birthday dinner. so, the concept can serve many moods. the place is bright and modern.

the improvements i would suggest, as a customer who would never attempt to work in a restaurant let alone open one, are basically to pay attention to details. the food is good, but not good enough to cut corners. for instance, i ordered a frittata that tasted good, but was dry and leathery. sorry, no excuses. if you are going to serve brunch you have to know how to cook and hold egg dishes or move on to something else. the belgian waffle with berry compote was sad. it looked like something you would take out of the frozen food section and warm in a toaster. staff two waitresses, and tell them not to try to clear tables quickly unless it is really busy. lots of open tables means let the customers finish their food before you clear. don't ever ask a customer if they are still "working" on their food. i am optimistic that leisure club will be around for a while, they seem to really have good intentions. just don't let the details slide...

no vote as of yet.. my wife and i were in cordova on saturday and decided to try leisure club since we never have and it is now located on that side of town. we are both avid urbanspoon users and we looked up the menu before we got there and had already decided what we were going to order, but when we got there they were only serving brunch, and their brunch is all day saturday and sunday. i believe if you are going to do something cute and out of the ordinary, like saturday brunch you should offer the regular menu as well, many patrons will not be expecting brunch on saturday.
i ordered the toad on the hole, which was supposed to be a poached egg on a jalapeno and cheddar bagel with orange hollandaise sauce, and biscuits and gravy, sounded yum, and the biscuits and gravy were.......but my poached egg was mostly cooked through, the hollandaise sauce was just plain old hollandaise and the bagel was a plain thomas' bagel from the grocery. this makes me mad! just tell someone what they are going to get. ok, you are out of bagels and orange hollandaise, not a big deal, just tell the diner that you do not have what is advertised on the menu and let him decide if that item is still what they want! come on.............don't lie to me.

just discovered it closed on palafox. good riddance. the espresso was terrible. if you serve espresso based drinks you need regular, pedestrian, refined sugar. if you don't understand that and you only offer raw sugar with the large crystals that can't dissolve in espresso then you are just being pretentious . the staff was too easily overwhelmed by more than one order. 20 minute wait on a latte one day, while we were standing there watching the barista. sandwiches were mediocre in taste and presentation. servers are hired because they look hip but don't understand how a restaurant works. i don't normally give a restaurant a negative review, but in this case i was disappointed in service and food quality over multiple visits. not my imagination as the 12 people we brought to lunch one day agree this place was not on our list to return to for lunch. the fact they made their move unannounced is another example of poor customer service. good luck on the new location, but unless these problems are fixed you will fail there, too!

where's the location ?. hello , it would have been nice to enjoy the atmosphere and great food if the location was present! update the website and address would have meant the world, we had our day sat on enjoying the mimosa but instead wasted gas driving from old address to the mystery one lol . staff never answered the phone and it stated being open after the move.

one of my favorite places to attend for brunch! my friends would agree as well. wonderful and funky atmosphere too. :)

lovely atmosphere. love the atmosphere. i can justify the cost for the teas, since i've never been disappointed with my selection of those, but the menu is pricy and not completely worth the cost.

popular for good reason!. $5 bottomless mimosas? you have already won my heart!

the portions for brunch are pefect! you choose three items for $12, so you don't have to choose just one thing.

the leisure club is adorable. it's funky decor, wonderfully helpful and patient staff, and great food made this a place we will absolutely return to.

specifically:
husband had waffles, fresh fruit, and a biscuit with rosemary gravy. he raved about all three.
the waitress was so helpful and willing to work around my plant-based needs. they were out of quinoa, so they made me an oatmeal with all kinds of goodies in it, spicy potatoes, and soy yogurt parfait.

she continued to return to refill our mimosas without question. wonderful visit. see you soon, leisure club!

a little pretentious. expensive. great atmosphere.

wine. buy a nice bottle of wine, then plan the meal around that,
it will be good,
we had the mushrooms in a wine sauce and an incredible grilled pimento sandwich.
their breads are very very good,
vegan choices too. +
food prices are low, so you can spend more for the wine!

good "crafted" food and coffee. great music when there's a band.

i absolutely love this place. and their iced tea is my fav! they have it all, quaint, good food, beers, wine, coffee bar and i've cream! love love love
