Been coming here for 20 years, never had something I didn't like. The Milton is second to none, I am convinced the Milton is the Paradise Lost. This place is cozy and always has fantastic service. The Drowsy Poet is a hidden gem of Lynchburg for sure.

I usually go in there for their milkshakes they are very good. However the last time I went in, I had a breakfast sandwich, which was very very good. Better than I thought it would be. So I will be back again for breakfast.

Wide awake at the Drowsy, and loving every minute. The menu selections are fresh and inviting but I usually find myself ordering the Popular Forest. The portions are generous and the food safety stellar. The price is $$$ so don’t forget your wallet. Good glove usage and the food is honestly presented.

My favorite place to meet friends and study. the cafe has such a lovely and relaxed environment as Drowsy Poet is inside Givens Bookstore. There is tons of seating all over, even when the cafe is busy it's never overly noisy or crowded due to the elbow room of the building. It's also totally permissible to buy coffee and wander around to browse books. What more could you ask for?The coffee, pastries, sandwiches and soups are always delicious. The staff are personable and sweet. So thankful for this gem.

I love going to the Drowsy Poet! The sandwiches are incredible and they have the best hot chocolate. My favorite sandwich combo is the Poplar Forest with spicy bean dip. AMAZING! They also have great little nooks for reading and having a nice calm lunch.

Cozy little coffee shop nestled in the back of a kid's themed toy and bookstore called Givens Book and Little Dickens. I love looking for little, off-the-beaten path coffee shops. This one's a gem. They serve coffeefrom the Drowsey Poet Coffee Co. Delish! They also serve lunch fare, salads, healthy options, etc. Oh and did I mention Toys and Books. Love this place! Definitely recommend this place.

A coffee shop inside a bookstore, what's not to like? I love having lunch here, the sandwiches are so good, and big. There are all sorts of hot beverages as well, good selection of teas, even milkshakes and ice cream!

If you've never had a Milton especially on a HOT day you are missing out, it's like NO other milkshake ever. Great fresh coffee (lots of books). This location is has great food items, hummus plate, great sandwiches, fun atmosphere (inside of Givens books store). Don't forget they have Hard Ice cream...worth the visit.
