"Closest cafe to Gulf State Park campground, perfect for after watching the sunrise at Branson Beach. Inside The Lodge/Hilton hotel, so very swank but no one connected on our sunrise-watching pajamas with damp ankles. Beautiful outfit seating along the dunes. Small things but the hard-boiled egg in the protein box was NOT overcooked, which is rare. Pastries were quite good."

"The view of the ocean from this coffee shop is remarkable!! The service was fantastic. Coffee is OK. It wasn’t my favorite, but the view makes up for it"

"Got a coffee and then sat outside to welcome the day. The views are amazing! We aren’t staying at the hotel so we feel like this is a brilliant vacation hack! Definitely come get a coffee and sit out on the back deck. 10/10!"

"Great place to watch the sunrise. Beach access with wash stations on both decks. I got the fox squirrel every morning for a week. Great coffee and service. I will be going back next year's vacation."

"5/5 for atmosphere and views. 4/5 on the coffee. It's not a specialty coffee spot (there aren't any of those in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach), so the coffee itself can't hit that 5/5 rating. But that said: the coffee drinks and pastries are both very tasty and very enjoyable here. Grab a mocha and drink it while sitting in a comfortable chair watching the waves roll in and the clouds drift past. And they have Guinness and Glenlivet, so that's a win too :)"
