Calling all creatives: a new coffee shop created by makers, for makers, is coming to the heart of downtown Pensacola this fall.
Maker's Coffee Co. owner Caleb Pierce said the goal of Maker's, located at 422 S. Palafox St., is to provide a space for customers to pursue their passions and staff to be developed as leaders for wherever they end up next.
Pierce said that for his wife and co-owner, Haley, and himself, both photographers and videographers, their line of work, combined with a love for missionary service, has taken them to cities all over the world. With each new stop, one routine remains consistent.
