Restaurants in Cocoa

“Tonya was our amazing server. So attentive and thorough. Helped us pick our meal on our first visit. Absolutely phenomenal!, steak cooked to temperature, Cadillac Margaritas on point. Don't forget to start with the Queso Fundido and finish with the fried ice cream.”

“Stopped for brunch this morning first time there. It’s a typical diner. Was disappointed that a business that says Mitchell’s Mimosas had no champagne to make mimosas. It’s not far from a few places that they could’ve picked up a few bottles of sparkling wine if running low. It is Father’s Day after all. Best part of entire experience was the very friendly, efficient waitress Trinity. She was attentive, suggested a few things on the menu, ensured beverages were filled. Food was good- typical diner. Is it a place I would go out of my way for? Probably not. But if I do, I would want Trinity as my server.”

“We choose Milpa to celebrate my mother's 90th. It was fantastic. The management and servers were terrific. A big thank you to Estrella y Andrea who were the best. They saw to that everyone was taken care and satisfied with their experience. In all, it was a great day. Everyone complimented me on the venue and food. My mother was overwhelmed by all. Go and celebrate your next celebration at Milpa in Cocoa Village.”

“Went to walk around one late morning on a Saturday February 22nd. I had a great cup of Coffee, and all of the food is awesome. I will be back again!”

“We had a wonderful dinner tonight! From the wines to the small plates, to our “ramen special” then desserts, the experience was awesome! Very cozy place and friendly management/owners/chef! We will definitely be back!”

“Their food is absolutely amazing!”

“LOVE Oasis. We eat there twice a week. Food is always fresh, and I haven't had anything I didn't like. They have an amazing variety of bottled drinks and sodas . Clean, small hidden gem.

Vegetarian options: I'm not a meat eater and there are so many salad options. I get the four side salad platter and never leave hungry.

Dietary restrictions: Owner cuts cucumber for me to dip the hummus because I don't eat white grains. Always tells me what's in the salads so I don't accidentally eat something I can't have. Today ordered a side salad not realizing Couscous was in it. He immediately said, "you can't have that, it has white grain in it". Love how they care for their customers.”

“To my friends of a particular vintage, familiar with a certain legendary restaurant in Tallahassee, I have one word -- Garcia's. Absolutely the best Cuban sandwich I've had in over 40 years.”

“One of my go to spots for a delicious Sunday lunch. Love the food, especially the Irish breakfast sandwiches served on the weekend, and the beers always hit the spot. Chris was my bartender today and he was as fantastic as the food, if not better! Couldn't recommend this plas high enough.”

“never found a bad item on the menu and service has been well above the average”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This coffee shop has all the ingredients for a perfect recipe. First, the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting … with local artists highlighted. Their bathroom has a baby changing table, their back room has a child’s table and basket of books … they have a “free mug exchange” program … and a rewards program (free drinks!). Did I mention how clean the shop is?!?! Next, every single person who works there (inclusive of course of the owner) are always personable, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable - whether to assist a customer to figure out “that perfect drink match” or to tweak a drink or simply to help make the day happier … they are always on point. Every. Single. Person. Finally, they make many of their syrups homemade (yum!!!) … they make their own popsicles … they sell locally owned bakery items (inclusive of gluten free) … their options are incredibly delicious across the board. I first came here during COVID on the way home from the hospital having my first child. Now, more than 4 years later, I am a 5-6 day a week customer … their lattes and bagels are the best! Special shout out to Hannah who literally notices and asks when I have missed being there a day or more … and who always remembers and uses my name. But honestly, I adore every single barista there … they remember my favorite drink no matter the season … they care … they laugh and have fun … they create this amazing little shop. I have never gone anywhere else that comes close. Check them out and spend some money … tip well … they deserve it and you deserve what they offer!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“I had lunch today and the brisket and pulled pork was out of this world. The service was exceptional and the staff was extremely friendly. I'll definitely be back.”

“Had Pozzy Bros in cocoa on Friday, just 2 quick slices. one cheese one buffalo chicken ranch! Everyone knows the rules one bite! It was absolutely Amazing ,Perfect crust , and toppings stayed on through every bite. Highly recommended for Pizza in Brevard County!”

“Chippies: Coco/Port Saint John Dreamy Destination for Boba & FroYo! Absolutely obsessed with Chippies Boba Tea & Frozen Yogurt! This place quickly became my go-to spot for a delightful treats. Their boba tea selection is incredible! The flavors are bursting with freshness, and the tapioca pearls have that perfect chewy texture. Whether you're a classic milk tea fan or looking for something adventurous, Chippies has something for everyone. I personally loved the Golden Elixir, it was so refreshing and perfectly balanced. The frozen yogurt is just as amazing! The tartness hits all the right notes, and the toppings selection is fantastic. They do not weigh the frozen yogurt! Plus, they have sugar-free options, which is a major win for me! The staff at Chippies is top-notch! Super friendly and helpful, they made my whole experience enjoyable. They were happy to answer questions and offer suggestions based on my preferences. Chippies is a true gem in Cocoa/PSJ! The perfect place to cool down on a hot Florida day or just treat yourself to something delicious. Highly recommend checking it out! Five stars all around!”

“Check this place out if you are in the area. Their food is great and I love their coffee. You will not be disappointed!”

“OMG….. This place is amazing the food is absolutely superb and delectable, gonna eat there more and more!!! Please go you’ll see it’s so great!!!”

“Incredible Staff & Owners.”

“Everything we ate there was delicious. The service was amazing. We got the tattoo man and he was juggling waters and showed us just the tip of his head. His name was Jason!!!”

“Great trip with Captain Tony!”

“I bought 4 friends for lunch on Saturday as this has been my favorite restaurant in Brevard County since the 70's. Even had my daughter's pre-wedding luncheon there. These 4 ladies had never been to the Cafe. Their meals were fabulous. The waitresses were amazing. We had a different waitress who took our coffee order. I did not get her name. She was blonde and short. She began to get rude and continued until we left. So what would have been a lovely experience, ended. They will never go back.”

“10/10. Street tacos were amazing! Full of flavor, freshly made, homemade tortillas and green sauce was just the right amount of spice. I had the asada, birria and carnitas. Very resonable prices and a must try!”

“the food is amazing!! hush puppies were the best I've ever had and please leave room for dessert because the peanut butter pie is so good and smooth!! my husband and i love everything we've had so far! can't wait to go back.”

“Favorite kava bar to hang out at!”

“Our first time here and think this will be our Friday night hangout. You can’t go wrong with wine (unlimited $20), tapas & live music (guy singing was perfect)! 🤩 Highly recommend”

“Best craft Pilsner in Central Florida! 😎”

“One of Florida's icons, classical Americana foods freshly made, with choice of sweet tea and sodas. The staff are wonderful, and the quality of the food never goes down. The only other thing that would make this restaurant perfect is a complete building renovation”

“Played some darts and played a few rounds on the slots. Was a nice laid-back pub. The fam and I all had their pineapple cider on tap, and it was delicious 😋 👌”

“Jabbers has been my go-to for good food and drinks. The servers are awesome, Sarah is my favorite! She’s always on top of everything and I enjoy everything she recommends. The new menu is great! Love all the new choices. 10/10 recommend!”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pub Americana, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. I ordered the French Burger, which was absolutely amazing. The combination of caramelized onions and goat cheese created a rich and flavorful profile that I couldn't get enough of.

My wife opted for the Hangover Burger, and she was equally impressed. It featured a fried egg, bacon, and a delightful avocado aioli that elevated the dish to another level. She remarked on how good it was, and I couldn't agree more.

Our friends mentioned that they make all of their burger patties in-house, and if that's true, you can really tell! The meat in both burgers was incredibly tender and flavorful, showcasing the quality of their ingredients.

To top it all off, we enjoyed parmesan fries served with a jalapeño ranch on the side. This unique spin on the classic fries added a delicious twist that complemented our meals perfectly.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere at Pub Americana. I will definitely be going back for more!”

“We stopped in on our trip to Cocoa Beach and were not disappointed. Coming from Wisconsin, we’ve had tons of great beer. Dirty Oar has some of the best beers we’ve ever had! The bartender was so friendly when we stopped in. As a military/law enforcement family, we loved the atmosphere and show of support.”

“Free chips and salsa, the chips are good and the salsa has good flavor but was very soupy. Our sodas had very little flavor and were watered down as well. As far as our meals go the Tacos, and the Chicken Chimichanga were excellent!”

“the best fried shrimp's we've had in a long time”

“Awesome menu Very flavorful”

“The best food with a view!!!”

“Best Wendy’s I’ve ever been to. Had a rough weekend traveling home and Myesha completely made up for it. Get her special lemonade and give her employee of the century!”

“Absolutely one of my favorite subways to go to. The food preparation area is so clean you can tell that the owners and the employees take pride in maintaining a very clean store. The food is fresh kept at correct temperatures. My interaction with the employees very friendly conversational and can multitask very well
I highly recommend this particular Subway”

“We found this spot on our way to the cruise port. It did not disappoint!!!! EVERYTHING was delicious! I had the shrimp po'boy and it was the best I've ever had! I also tried some of my party's food. The gumbo, shrimp and grits, and catfish were all very good. If I'm ever in that area again I'm definitely stopping to get food! I didn't get our server name but she was AWESOME!!!!”

“We are regulars to Muddies on Sunday am and sometimes during the week. Today I had the shrimp basket for breakfast. I saw it last Sunday and thought I would have it today. I was not disappointed at all! Great breakfast item. We love all the staff, friendly, thoughtful and quick to smile. We love Carrie, Debbie and MS Bonnie. The owners John and Debbie are always quick to please no matter how busy they may bee. thank you for wonderful breakfast or lunches. We appreciate everyone's hard work. Thank you everyone.”

“By far one of best pizzas in town, and operated by some of the best ppl I’ve met! For sure a highly recommended spot”

“I really really like the shrimp and vegetables PHO, and absolutely 💕 the Summer Rolls and Peanut sauce. UBER delivery is always quick!”

“Finally had a chance to go eat at this wonderful place. Chicken salad was great! Hubby had the BLT and loved it. The desserts are delicious. Pineapples upside down mini cake and muffins are so good. We will definitely be going back as often as we can. The plus is the cause they donate to! I’ve been an avid fan of this cause for years now. Stop by you won’t be disappointed.”

“By far the best thing I've put in my mouth! Those cupcakes are so moist, fluffy and just plain amazing. 10/10. Not to mention the owner is so humble and kind and creates a true welcoming environment. Worth every penny!!”

“The best spicy tuna we’ve ever had. Always stop in for dinner or lunch when we are in the area. They also have some of the best Thai food I’ve found in Florida! Always great staff and friendly service. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Home cooking at its finest. Absolutely delicious! Very friendly staff!”

“The people are so nice and chill! And the chicken! Wow. After becoming a recent revert I have been on the search for some quick halal food and this place has it! The Biscuits are delicious. (Sorry not pictured it was just so good!) and the chicken is amazing. The Mac and cheese was good for something that’s quick. But the chicken is amazing, the gizzards AMAZING. All my brothers and sisters this is the place! Wish everyone here many blessings. Alhumdulilah.”

“Good food, good service, good prices. Friendly staff. A diner done right.”

“Ossorio-Cocoa Village-4-Stars "Juuuuuuuuuuuust a bit outside." -- Harry Doyle Glancing down at my random place to stuff your gullet device, I noticed the name Ossorio Bakery & Cafe staring back at me. Looking forward to the peaceful drive up the coast, I hopped in the BBDO mobile and pointed her north. Cruising into Cocoa Village with Brenda Lee "coming on strong", I languidly turned into their parking lot and came to a complete stop. Looking this way and that, I couldn't spy a parking space in sight. Waiting patiently for a space to open up, I couldn't help but get a wee bit aggravated and think to myself what a mess this was. Pulling into a vacant spot I could only hope it was not an indication of what awaited me inside. Regardless, I reset my patience and with a silent, "Once more into the breach, dear friends", trod inside. Taking the Cafe part in their name to heart, you won't find a service professional awaiting inside to take your order, it is all self serve, including boxing any leftovers. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just stating the facts, Ma'am. Reading the menu I picked up I was overwhelmed by the depth and diversity it offered, but as I continued to read it more closely, I noticed it was well thought out. Now, if they can execute at a high level, this could definitely be a 5 Star meal! I placed an order for a fire roasted sammich, Buddy's Beef to be exact, and a side salad that went by the moniker of Kendall's Fresh Salad. After placing the order, I went in search of an open table. Noticing that you can sit inside or outside, finding a place to ease my frame into wasn't all that difficult. I also noticed that they have an array of fresh, made by hand pastries, a wood fire brick oven for pizzas and a whole bevy of drink selections. All of the tables were patio style and reminiscent of Parc in Philadelphia (if you haven't read that review, that was a 5 Star joint). While Parc is pure, unadulterated French, Ossorio's is clearly new American. Being notified that my order was up, I brought my mind back from the City of Brotherly Love and proceeded to the counter to retrieve my items. As I sat back down with my order, I couldn't help but note how appetizing it all looked as well as smelled. Digging into Buddy's Beef sandwich, I was first taken in by the freshly made baguette. What a delicious hunk of bread this was. With a crunchy crust and a springy, moist interior, it was everything a homemade baguette should be and more. If there was any knock on the sammich at all it had to be the quality of the beef. It wasn't low grade, to say the least, but it certainly didn't taste nor chew like USDA Prime either. The Provolone was miles above the quality you find in chain sub shops and was obviously sliced on site. Turning my cutlery towards Kendall's salad next, I dug my fork in and moved it around a bit. The salad was a simple spring mix, nothing earth-shattering, but a standard play on a common salad. The greens were indeed fresh, the almonds still warm from being toasted. the apples were nice and tart as Granny Smith's are known to be and the blue cheese crumbles were the real deal. The balsamic dressing drizzled over the top of the whole shebang was nice and tart, again, nothing spectacular, but well above average. My experience was just that, my experience. I found the staff friendly, the interior pleasant, the parking a nightmare and the food just this side of receiving a 5 Star review. The execution was adequate, though the quality of beef could see just a smidgen of improvement. I rather enjoyed the self-service aspect of the place, though I do also enjoy the human interaction that comes with table service. The savings in overhead must be reflected in the price and that is something in today's world with which we all can live. The Big Boy says, "for above average grub, friendly staff and an eclectic menu and vibe, make a point to stop in at Ossorio's Bakery & Cafe.&qu”

“I love going to Time Out for lunch or after work. Staff here is great and fun, food is well worth the money, and its a very chill relax spot”

“Super local BBQ joint. Service is very personal. Barbeque is awesome. Collard greens were amazing. We Also tried the chitlins and if you are in to that they were cooked perfectly and tasty.”

“My Family and I just visited and we all loved it! Amazing family ran business. We had a pretty large order and they really took care of us, 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“The best spicy tuna we’ve ever had. Always stop in for dinner or lunch when we are in the area. They also have some of the best Thai food I’ve found in Florida! Always great staff and friendly service. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Amazing salad bar.Had the smashburger. It was very good. All the food was top quality. Theresa and Belinda were very nice . I would highly recommend this restaurant. I will be back again.”

“just enjoyed an AWESOME meat lovers. A great pie & a great owner”

“I love dive bars, so if you do, then you must check this one out. It is beer and cash only. Bartender and Patrons were so friendly and welcoming. There are arcade games and pool tables. Touch tunes avail to play your favorite hits. I will definitely stop in another day.”

“Rec 225- Cocoa, FL- 3.75 Stars "I lurched away from the table after a few hours feeling like Elvis in Vegas - fat, drugged, and completely out of it." ― Anthony Bourdain Getting back into the swing of things post--Covid has been great for the Big Boy and I hope for you as well. Thank you for all the comments, supportive and not so supportive. As you can see, I take each one to heart and answer straightforward. I do not cut corners in my reviews, nor do I apologize for them. Finding myself meandering up the Space Coast, I grabbed my random eatery generator and punched in my location. A few nearby eateries popped up and I found myself near the local star, Cryderman's Barbecue. Curious as to who could hang in the same neighborhood, I ventured into Rec 225. The first impression was one of spic and span clean, like your kitchen when you know guests are coming over. Grabbing a table, our waiter Jo-Jo came over to see how we were doing. It turns out that Jo-Jo is also the owner and not only cares about the customer but obviously takes pride in his business as he was welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and just downright awesome. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Jo-Jo. I placed an order for their eponymous sandwich, the 225, along with one Mac & Cheese grilled cheese and a side order of Bacon and Bleu fries. As for a drink, I went with the vaunted Jarritos Orange (how can you go wrong with this liquid concoction of pure delight?). Waiting eagerly for the foodstuffs to arrive I continued to glance about the place and found the interior charming. Before too long, Jo-Jo came back with my order, placed it upon my table and offering a sincere, "Enjoy your meal," Jo-Jo went off to address other patrons. Looking at the pictures you can see that everything certainly did look scrumptious! Grabbing the self-named sandwich, The Big Boy went to work. Comprised of bacon, Gouda, french fries, and tomato pesto on garlic Texas toast it was a delicious mouthful of exquisite flavor. The combination of the bacon and Gouda was enough to send one's taste buds into a dance of joy, add to that the fresh tomato pesto and the perfectly golden fries and you are entering the taste bud danger zone! Seriously, I thought mine were going to sashay right out of my mouth they were so pleased with the flavors found in this masterpiece of a sandwich. It almost felt like a crime when I set it down and turned my attention to the Mac & Cheese grilled sandwich, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. This was far from the simple grilled cheese we all ate as a kid. This incorporated classic mac&cheese with Gouda served on Texas toast. Grilled in butter to a perfect golden hue, it was thoroughly enjoyable on the palate. What I can say about the fries? They were cooked just right and smothered in bleu cheese and bacon. How could you go wrong? The Big Boy says, "If your not nearby, make an excuse to be nearby and grab some incredible grub!" #iamthebigboy #bigboydiningout”

“The oxtails and rice are the most delicious to me”

“The best chicken in town! Thanks for opening up in the Groves!!”

“food is absolutely fantastic. service is great. this place is a treasure!!!!”

“The best chicken in town! Thanks for opening up in the Groves!!”

“great food and shows”

“Amber and her staff are amazing greet with respect and very friendly make you feel comfortable.”

“Authentic food foods from Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala and more - the real deal! Cozy environment with great lighting. Friendly service! Highly recommend!”

“Austin and Sam are two of the hardest workers this subway has. Absolutely would recommend this location to anyone and everyone. Always friendly and in high spirits. They rock !!”

“Best quality and always fast service 😊”

“I like this Subway a lot. It's clean (no mold on the window shields over the condiments like other ones). Thank you to this owner for taking pride in sanitation and appearance.
The staff friendly and quick. Glad to see Subway brought back the salad sub bowls. 😀”

“Stoners pizza definitely topped my list of “favorite pizza spots today. They use a 3rd party system for deliveries and I guess they had a problem with the system as I called and ordered my pizza and Stromboli. The manager personally delivered my food in a timely manner and he was a very nice gentleman. If you haven’t tried them out yet, I recommend you do!”

“These tacos are delicious. Probably the best street tacos I've had. Meat is flavorful and tortillas are great, as are both red and green salsas. Can't wait to get booze and tacos here again!”

“I went Saturday September 7th and let’s just say that I found my new spot. My server was very knowledgeable about hookah because I knew nothing about it and the Lemon ? Drop Martini was by far one of the best I’ve ever had. I’m a new fan❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“I could eat here every day! I just ate the BEST ChileRellanos I've ever had in my life! I lived in California for 10 years and had chefs teach me their secrets! Everything is fresh and wonderful!”

“Off the beaten path. They're not there for the food. Pool tables no smoking inside. enjoyable company, it's a really cool bar especially if you're a gambler! ??
Great drink prices!”

“I slid thru on a Tues afternoon just before he was about to close down. I appreciate bro being flexible…I had to run up to the store to get some bacon bc he had ran out and I “Got” to have bacon on my double burger n bacon order along with seasoned fries and a few of those Honey Lemon Pepper wings.The burger was like one of those burgers u make at the house, was good. And the wings were sauced up and had good flavor. The wings were pretty small tho…they’re almost like mini wings.Overall Nephew had my burger done and ready to go after he finished with the bacon dope spot to checkout.”

“awesome venue, great people and a sweet jam night!”

“Anytime we can get away from parenting, this is the place to be! Our server Brandi has always been able to get us in and out with amazing service!!!! Highly recommend you check the place out!”

“Great place. Live music. Affordable drinks. Cool staff. You’ll like it.”

“Their Pizza is AMAZING!!!! Best Pizza in Brevard & I grew up here. They arent greasy at all, and they overload their pizza with toppings!!! Trust me if you havent tried them, YOU NEED TOO!!!!!”

“The only problem I have with the food is the barbeque sauce itself. It's not bad, but it's very average and a little too heavy on the vinegar. The food meanwhile is cooked very well. Smoked. Dusting of rub. Good moisture. And the feast for four can feed a family for at least a couple days.

I just wish the barbeque sauce was better. Would make the prices worth it.

Dietary restrictions: Pork, Beef, and Poultry options are all on the menu for those who abstain from specific meats, like pork.”

“the best pizza in town!!!”

“awesome service and of course awesome ice cream... ❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Great food! Great service!”

“This place is amazing. The food is always consistently good. I love that the owner knows my number and if somebody else comes to pick up my food she inquires about me. It feels like I'm visiting family everytime I go in. Our usual go tos are the general tsos extra spicy, wonton soup, moo shu pork, and of course my favorite her house made mustard!”

“Solid Chinese food.
Got the Mongolian beef and chicken lo mane n crab ragoon.
Overall food was on the sweeter side but I didn't ask for any added spice.
Meat was all tender.
Rice was good.
The crab ragoon needs to be crispier, ours were tough, or use less dough and maybe like half as much filling.
Lo mein was good.”

Thank you Sir for making my family and I welcomed as if we were home! God's blessings to you and your family!”

“Went to walk around one late morning on a Saturday February 22nd. I had a great cup of Coffee, and all of the food is awesome. I will be back again!”

“just enjoyed an AWESOME meat lovers. A great pie & a great owner”

“I ordered “carrot cake” cupcakes from Candy’s Cookies, Cakes & More (Canaveral Groves)this week for my husband’s birthday, and we picked them up today. They were made fresh this morning, and oh my goodness, if you’re having any doubts about placing an order, please, make the order. Her carrot cake was the best I’ve ever tasted. Every bit of it was made from scratch - the cake was moist and delicious and the frosting was fantastic. I’ve already placed another order for a German Chocolate cake and a Lemon Blueberry pound cake, and I’m anxious to taste them. With regard to Candy, the awesome baker - she’s kind, genuine, and has “customer service” running through her veins. I’ve never had a baker offer to meet me at a convenient place for product pickup, much less offer to deliver. She did both, and we agreed on a place to meet. I felt like I met a friend today. I wish her and her business all the best success.”

“OMG….. This place is amazing the food is absolutely superb and delectable, gonna eat there more and more!!! Please go you’ll see it’s so great!!!”

“I want to give a huge shoutout to Missy at IHOP — she was absolutely amazing! If I could rate this experience 6/5 stars I definitely would! From the moment we sat down, she was so attentive, friendly, and welcoming. She constantly checked in to make sure me and my family were doing okay and had everything we needed. Her great attitude and warm energy made our visit extra enjoyable. Thank you, Missy, for the wonderful service — you truly made our day! 💙”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pub Americana, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. I ordered the French Burger, which was absolutely amazing. The combination of caramelized onions and goat cheese created a rich and flavorful profile that I couldn't get enough of.

My wife opted for the Hangover Burger, and she was equally impressed. It featured a fried egg, bacon, and a delightful avocado aioli that elevated the dish to another level. She remarked on how good it was, and I couldn't agree more.

Our friends mentioned that they make all of their burger patties in-house, and if that's true, you can really tell! The meat in both burgers was incredibly tender and flavorful, showcasing the quality of their ingredients.

To top it all off, we enjoyed parmesan fries served with a jalapeño ranch on the side. This unique spin on the classic fries added a delicious twist that complemented our meals perfectly.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere at Pub Americana. I will definitely be going back for more!”

“My Family and I just visited and we all loved it! Amazing family ran business. We had a pretty large order and they really took care of us, 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“Went to walk around one late morning on a Saturday February 22nd. I had a great cup of Coffee, and all of the food is awesome. I will be back again!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This coffee shop has all the ingredients for a perfect recipe. First, the atmosphere is comfortable and inviting … with local artists highlighted. Their bathroom has a baby changing table, their back room has a child’s table and basket of books … they have a “free mug exchange” program … and a rewards program (free drinks!). Did I mention how clean the shop is?!?! Next, every single person who works there (inclusive of course of the owner) are always personable, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable - whether to assist a customer to figure out “that perfect drink match” or to tweak a drink or simply to help make the day happier … they are always on point. Every. Single. Person. Finally, they make many of their syrups homemade (yum!!!) … they make their own popsicles … they sell locally owned bakery items (inclusive of gluten free) … their options are incredibly delicious across the board. I first came here during COVID on the way home from the hospital having my first child. Now, more than 4 years later, I am a 5-6 day a week customer … their lattes and bagels are the best! Special shout out to Hannah who literally notices and asks when I have missed being there a day or more … and who always remembers and uses my name. But honestly, I adore every single barista there … they remember my favorite drink no matter the season … they care … they laugh and have fun … they create this amazing little shop. I have never gone anywhere else that comes close. Check them out and spend some money … tip well … they deserve it and you deserve what they offer!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The best spicy tuna we’ve ever had. Always stop in for dinner or lunch when we are in the area. They also have some of the best Thai food I’ve found in Florida! Always great staff and friendly service. You won’t be disappointed.”
