Absolutely love this coffee!! I visit every time I'm in town. Try the white chocolate frappe with an extra shot of espresso right on top for an extra boost of flavor! Love this shop.

Pumpkin spiced coffee and the breakfast sandwiches we had were amazing! The ambience is pleasant and the employees are nice.

The lady at the counter was nice. The barista made the wrong drink and then got a snotty little attitude when I pointed it out and apparently had stepped one foot over an imaginary line at the counter to get his attention. Would have been totally fine if he'd just corrected his mistake, but not paying attention + unnecessary attitude = not worth it. Get over yourself, it's just (mediocre) coffee.

Got coffee while mom was in the dentist. Cute place. I got the Hayride, tasty. Not too sweet. Friendly.

First visit at Poets and I loved it! It’s so cozy! I love the little dinosaurs on the window sills! The service was great, the employees were very kind and helpful. I got the bourbon caramel drink, can’t remember the name, but it was amazing. Shoutout to the barista that made it and and the cashier who suggested it cold. They also suggested a sandwich called the Hobbs. Stop. It was so good. First time in a long time I’ve actually finished my coffee and food from a cafe. I usually throw it away halfway through. But not this time! Can’t wait to come again :)

Always stop here for lunch when traveling east and it never disappoints!

Just remembered to post this. Happened a long time ago. Don’t know any names. Rude staff. Great food. Haven’t been back since.

They were awesome! The drinks are tasty.

Nestled in the far corners of Cookeville you will find how far one of the Best places to catch a good cup of coffee and catch up on the happenings of the surrounding town.

Fruit bagel was the perfect mix of sweet and salty! Husband loved the Walnut cream cheese.

Poet's is unfortunately very hit or miss, at least at this location. I have no idea what's wrong with their bagels, if they're stale, over proofed, or just burned, but every single time I order one it's like chewing on rubber. You seriously can't eat it without hurting your jaw. I've tried to get the farm egg probably five+ times in hopes that the bagel will be normal and every time just end up picking off the ingredients. This location is horrible about burning coffee and I cannot tell you how many times I have had to circle back around because they make my spiced chai dirty, to the point where I now ask them to make sure it IS NOT dirty which always makes them roll their eyes or give me a weird look thinking I'm treating them like idiots

I come to poets quite a bit and always love the coffee. However I went this morning to get an avocado croissant and the avocado was as hard as a rock, and there was no pickled onions on it as stated on the menu..I paid $6 for something I couldn’t even eat and probably won’t be back anymore. I wish I would’ve taken it back in but did not want to be that person.

I go once a week, sometimes 2 admittedly. I get a hot white chocolate mocha, which their coffee is really good, not that froo froo stuff.. And I also get a apple butter turkey on croissant, and let me tell you, it's darn good. Pretty sure they make it with love every time. The dude that made it this morning I think put extra love. So good!

My go to coffee shop in Cookeville. Their coffee is worth its weight in gold.

The individuals at Poets South are absolutely amazing, quick and accurate service is their game!

Good and clean but idk it stresses me out being there to small maybe the vibe I'm not sure the place good , most important good drinks

Love their coffee (hot or cold) and the Hobbs sandwich!! Yum!! Only downside is that the drive thru is very slow l, even if there are only 1-2 cars ahead of you.

Fast, friendly service + good coffee.

This location has the friendliest staff. They make the visit pleasurable and the coffees is some of the best around.

The best place to get coffee in Cookeville. Drinks are always perfect and the breakfast sandwiches are insanely delicious!

The spiced chai is insane, probably the best I’ve ever had! also highly recommend the farm egg bagel!

Poet’s was recommended to me by my sister who lives in the area. We loved their drinks so much we went again the next morning. The staff were helpful and quick to get us our drinks. Highly recommend!
