“So Close I’m on a mission to find the best breakfast in mid-Pinellas County. Remy’s is right up there, but just shy of being the best. The café is clean, nicely decorated and welcoming. Staff is pleasant. Air conditioning and fans, unfortunately, blow down, cooling the food too fast. I got the standard thing: 2 eggs scrambled (fine), ham (delicious and one of the best) and grits. Why are grits the downfall of so many local cafes?! Texture was OK, but they were bland! I upgraded the included regular toast to French toast. This is one of the best French toasts I’ve had in these parts. While the bread slices were thick, they were properly cooked and not soggy in the middle (woohoo!) There was even a slice of orange on the plate (albeit dried out). Coffee was, by café standards, strong and good. The correct score should be 4.5 stars, but I’ll gladly round up because of the ham and French toast. Sooo close—just fix the grits.“
“Always Busy & Always Good Pretty simple: the place is pleasant, the staff is nice and the food is very good. We got a Ham Benedict and the Speggtacular Special. The potatoes were very good—nice and crispy. The Hollandaise sauce was quite nice. There were a couple of items that came up short. The grits were bland (why is it so hard to find good grits?) and the ham was so-so. But that was made up for by the the quality of the rest of the meal. A big plus here is the fresh fruit. There is always a few pieces of nice, fresh fruit on every plate.“
“We arrived around 10am. per other reviews we asked how long to expect, man at the counter told us about 15 min, our food came out in 10. The chicken cordon Bleu crepe was phenomenal, exceeded expectations (which admittedly weren’t too high for a quick service restaurant.You are given a remote device to notify you when your food is ready which probably leads to confusion around how empty it looks vs wait times. Highly recommend.“
