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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
