Nautical Cafe Reviews
I first tried this place when I visited Melbourne Beach a few years ago. I come back here every chance I can get.
The Fish Sandwich is outstanding! It's so simple but so delicious. Not frozen fish like typical restaurants. You could never go wrong with their Cuban Sandwich. Their pork is sooo good! ...especially with that chipotle aioli they make. I also got to try the Seafood empanada today. (i want more!) So so so good! Can't forget the Guava & Cheese empanada for desert....read full review
Nautical Cafe is one of my favorite spots! I love the egg sandwich and latte. I recently brought my sister and brother-in-law who thought the empanadas were phenomenal!
I love this place. We always have to come here when we are in town visiting. The empanadas are the best. We all love the pork and the apple, but I tried the ground beef and sweet plantain this time; so good I can't get enough. They also have great coffee. The only down side to this place is it is right on a busy road. I wish I could get up early enough to get breakfast and an espresso and just chill for a little bit. This is a must stop when in the area.
