The Boutique for Consigning Women

Located adjacent to the Hadji Shrine on Nine Mile Road, The Boutique for Consigning Women is one of my favorite places in town to shop. There are always beautiful pre-owned clothing items, shoes and accessories to browse through and the prices are great everyday of the week, but I swear my car just automatically turns into their parking lot every time I see the 50% off end of season sale sign.

Jaco's Bayfront Bar & Grille

About as far south as you can get in downtown Pensacola you’ll find Jaco’s Bayfront Bar & Grille overlooking the Palafox Pier Marina. Enjoy fantastic water views from the many windows while dining inside or take a seat on the patio and enjoy the salt air breezes as well. Although the interior decor and ambiance are wonderful, I particularly enjoy watching the boats in the marina from the patio while partaking in my favorite Basil Lemon Drop Martini and perhaps a daydream or two.

Cactus Flower Cafe, California Style Mexican Cuisine

With several Pensacola locations, on the northeast and southwest parts of town as well as Pensacola Beach, Cactus Flower Cafe is a local favorite for California style Mexican cuisine. The spacious interior at this location on 6881 West Highway 98, is tastefully decorated in rich earth tones with lots of track lighting for atmosphere. Of course all of the Cactus Flower locations across Northwest Florida and in Alabama are known for the fresh, quality ingredients used in their delicious foods.

George Artisan Bakery & Bistro

George Artisan Bakery & Bistro

One of my best friends offered to bring me breakfast at work and asked what I would like – I said I’d love a bacon, egg and cheese croissant thinking I’d get the usual greasy fast food. He shows up with this droolworthy croissant breakfast sandwich and a side of roasted herb potatoes from George Artisan Bakery & Bistro and it was amazing. Thick, crispy bacon on a huge fresh toasted croissant with cheddar cheese and a slab of scrambled eggs so large it looked like an omelet. The potatoes were roasted with fresh rosemary and other herbs and by the time I was finished with breakfast I knew I wouldn’t be needing any lunch.

Szotski's Mini Cheesecakes

My kids go to school with a relative of the Szotski family and on his birthday he shared mini cheesecakes with the class instead of the usual cupcakes. I heard about those cheesecakes for days so I had to try them out for myself. Szotski’s Cheesecakes, located at 2600 W. Nine Mile Road, is definitely worth a visit and I completely agree with the kids’ recommendation.

Located at 45A Via De Luna, next door to The Islander and a short walk from Casino Beach, the Native Cafe is open daily for breakfast and lunch and they serve homemade favorites with a southern flair.
