The Pour has a lofty goal that goes far beyond serving the excellent coffee for which it is known: the non-profit aims to make a real difference in and around Panama City Beach. This involves not only building a sense of community at its welcoming premises but also contributing financially to a variety of important causes that impact locals from every walk of life.
As you enter the coffee shop, you’ll be pleased with the inviting environment. The shop has an open feel, in keeping with its stated mission of building community. A variety of comfy chairs and couches are provided; sink into one for a moment and you might find it difficult to get back up.
If you’re on a mission to find the most delicious source of caffeine possible, you won’t come away disappointed. A variety of hot and cold beverages are available, including drip coffee, iced coffee, lattes, tea, and even kombucha. Feel free to request your favorite type of alternative milk with your drink. Keep an eye out for seasonal specials; depending on when you visit, you could enjoy fun flavors such as lavender, coconut, or, of course, pumpkin spice.
While The Pour is best known as a coffee shop, you’re also encouraged to stop in if you’re craving a light, but tasty breakfast or lunch. From eggs to sandwiches and even pizza, The Pour serves a wide array of dishes that might not be expected based on its coffee shop designation.
If you’re determined to use your dollars to make a difference, you’ll definitely want to substitute your usual coffee go-to with The Pour at least once; as a non-profit, this shop is entirely dedicated to supporting the community. Even the cash tips are sometimes reserved for important causes such as hurricane relief.
A few of our favorite menu items include the following:
Pier Park
Named after one of Panama City Beach’s most beloved attractions, this breakfast casserole includes a blend of eggs, sausage, hash browns, cheddar, peppers, and onion. This tasty meal will get your day off to a great start.
The Midday
As its name implies, this sandwich is perfectly acceptable for lunch, although it’s also a favorite among The Pour’s breakfast and brunch visitors. It consists of a toasted croissant loaded with egg, cheddar, sliced turkey, and a mouthwatering pesto sauce.
Sweet Granny
This unique sandwich is named after the thin and tangy slices of apple that set it apart. It also includes turkey, provolone cheese, spinach, and a drizzle of honey. All this is piled on toasted ciabatta to form a memorable sandwich that is simultaneously sweet, sour, and savory.
Avocado Toast
It might be a Millennial stereotype, but avocado toast is a worthy order when you’re out for coffee. The Pour’s take on this beloved snack includes sliced avocado, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and a lemon wedge. Amp it up with a poached egg for a small additional charge.
Apple Gorgonzola Pizza
The pizza at The Pour may not be huge, but it certainly is flavorful. This flatbread-style treat comes loaded with mozzarella, crumbled gorgonzola, and thin slices of Granny Smith apple — all of which are drizzled with honey.
Whether you stop in for a cup of coffee or a delicious sandwich, you will quickly fall in love with The Pour’s community-oriented approach, in which coffee is a means to a greater end.
