“I recommend the country pond café because you cannot find any places anymore that brings you good old fashion, hometown cooking. The atmosphere is awesome. You don’t have to worry about anything when you walk in the door just enjoy the food and the atmosphere. I love the roosters by the way anyone in this area to go there go it’s worth it I’ve had their breakfast I’ve had their lunch I’ve even had prime rib. Everything is awesome. Me and my mother will be going back“
“This is the best breakfast in Brevard County. I've been to a number of places and this one always outranks them in food quality, taste, and service.I love the shaved ribeye and the Mac and cheese sandwich. Both supremely amazing. I've had nearly everything on the menu and am never disappointed. The seasonal pancake is also usually worth a try. So far my favorite seasonal was snickerdoodle with the cream cheese frosting.Also, the chicken and waffles or gator and waffles, if you don't read the description you miss out on the fact the waffle is a citrus waffle and it is amazing. I love the citrus waffle!They have Mr Pibb on tap so I am a happy camper!Parking: Open parking lot shared with businesses nearby. I've never had any issues finding a spot.“
“The 905 Cafe- Downtown Melbourne- 4 stars Secreted away in a small niche amongst a gaggle of shops, boutiques, art galleries, and eating establishments awaits a true culinary gem for your enjoyment. I am speaking, of course, about the 905 Cafe in the Historic Arts district of the sprawling metropolis that is downtown Melbourne, FL. The first thing that struck me as I entered and approached the counter for service was the fact that 905 has somehow kept the same ambiance for over 20 years. Not sure how they do it, but if they could bottle it and sell it, they could make a fortune. After placing my order for an Egg Salad sandwich on marbled rye and a Chicken Salad on fresh greens with the pleasant, attentive, on-the-ball counter staff, I noticed patrons comfortably seated upon antique chairs dining with utter enjoyment on the fare offered and I couldn't help but think that if Paris Hilton or her ilk (tall, skinny blondes with purse poochies) were living in Melbourne, FL. this is where they would dine. This is the kind of place that people in Hollywood go to see and be seen. The ambiance is sophisticated enough to draw their crowd, yet homey enough for the average tourist from Nebraska. Again, if they could bottle this...Anyway, I digress, back to the task at hand. My order was plated artfully and placed on a tray with a smile awaiting my pick up. I enthusiastically grabbed it off the counter and tried to casually walk to the nearest table as my eyes devoured the feast in front of me and my olfactory senses became overwhelmed with the scent of freshly baked bread wafting up from my tray. The marbled rye was still warm from the oven and had that springiness of freshly baked bread while the crust was a perfect mix of firmness and chewiness that is a must in a good bread. The taste of the bread alone was exquisite, add to that the made to order egg salad and I was in the sandwich equivalent of Valhalla (Skol!). After making the delicious egg salad disappear in a matter of moments, I moved on to the Chicken Salad Salad. As with the Egg Salad, their Chicken Salad is made to order, none of that half hour old stuff out of a bucket for these guys. It was perfectly made to the right degree of creaminess and sat majestically atop a bed of freshly selected baby Spring greens all topped with hand cut fresh strawberries and real, honest to YiaYia, goat's milk Feta. The Big Boy says, "whether you are a high-society, stilettos in the sand wearing, purse puppy toting fashionista or a surfer from Beachside in baggies, a T-shirt and flops looking for a sophisticated dining experience with delicious, made to order, better than down-home cooking, head on over to the 905 Cafe. You do, however, have to leave Princess Buttercup at home. Health codes and all..“
“Cedars Cafe- Lake Washington-5-Stars Quickly becoming a local favorite, this gem of an eatery is beginning to make a huge splash in the local culinary scene. As with most fine dining joints (Cedar's is more casual, but the food is not), Chef Toni changes her menu with the seasonal availability of the freshest ingredients. As we have cruised on past summer and are now in the fall months, I thought it would be a good time to revisit a new favorite and see what Chef Toni did with her traditional, yet eclectically mixed menu. After being seated, I hungrily listened to my server rattle off the seasonal specials and began to drool. This should be extraordinary based on what my ears were telling my palate. After a few moments taking it all in, I asked for an order of Artichoke Shawarma, Fennel Apple salad, White Yam fries, Beat salad with goat cheese, Haloumi cheese, some kafta and an order of chicken thighs in a shiitake mushroom sauce. Relaxing in the pleasant atmosphere it seemed only a moment had passed when my server was soon approaching with my food. Setting it down before me, I drank in the beautiful artistry and scintillating aromas spiraling towards the ceiling as I reached for my tools of gastronomical destruction and got to work. After one bite of the Artichoke Shawarma I knew that once again, Chef Toni has hit a home run. After using the outside of the Artichoke for another dish and wanting to be a zero-waste kitchen, Chef Toni took the artichoke hearts, through some shawarma spice on them, and plopped them on some freshly made hummus. The tastes were extraordinary. The Fennel Apple salad is a misnomer as it should read Fennel and Shaved Apple salad. With thin shavings of apple over fresh greens, fennel, fresh mint and a "secret" ingredient of orange blossom water, this salad was out of this world. Used to cleanse the palate between courses, it more than served its purpose In pursuing the freshest ingredients, Chef Toni often comes upon once in a blue moon opportunities from her local sources. Case in point, white yams. Obtaining just a few of them from a local farmer, Chef Toni worked her magic and turned them into fresh white yam fries served with an herbed, homemade tahini sauce that was a sheer delight on the palate. They were like no fries I have ever tasted before. Moving on to the most pedestrian dish, if one can call a goat cheese feta and fresh beet salad with homemade pomegranate vinaigrette drizzled over it, pedestrian. With farm-fresh beets and real honest to Athens goat cheese feta this was amazing as well. It seems that Chef Toni never misses. She must, she is only human, but I have yet to catch her off her game. After a few bites of the salad, just to make sure I had the taste down, I turned my attention to the grilled Haloumi cheese. While this is a traditional middle eastern dish, Chef Toni took traditional and turned it on its ear. With some almond dukkah seasoning and fresh local honey drizzled over it, this cheese was a far cry from the stuff I grew up on. Talk about scrumptious! While the Houlomi cheese was a far cry from my childhood, Chef Toni's take on kafta brought me right back to it. Grilled in the oven, topped with fresh hummus with tomato and onions and topping a freshly made pita, this went straight to the little boy inside the Big Boy and made him very happy. With a delicate blend of herbs and spices, this dish alone was worth the visit. Sadly, this brings me to the last item up for review, the Chicken thighs in a shiitake mushroom sauce. What can I say about this without sounding like the proverbial broken record? Using locally farmed mushrooms and chicken, this dish taste farm-fresh and danced across my taste buds. The sauce was delicate, subtle and full of flavor while the chicken was tender, juicy and had to have been alive just a few hours earlier, it tasted that fresh. This place is 5 stars all day, every day. The Big Boy says, "Just go already!"“
“My husband picked this place out thinking it was a traditional bar as we are not familiar with Kava. We were surprised to find they didn't serve alcohol but the drinks they did have were amazing. We got a Kava and CBD based drink flavored with ginger that was delicious. They also have a pool table, ping pong, and Foosball available while you hang out and sip your drinks. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the staff was so nice. Angela was our server and she kindly explained the menu and their customs. I would absolutely recommend stopping here. Thanks for a great evening!“
“I honestly don't know why I have not posted a review for this gem yet but here is my honest review! The Sun Shoppe Cafe is the perfect place to come get a healthy breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner! It is also the perfect place for students to come in and do homework/study groups, or even other various groups to come in here and do some work and have some amazing food! I have been coming here off and on for years since I was a little tot!! The service is always great, the staff is wonderful especially Rachel- she is the sweetest person! The owners are really great people who love all of their customers! Today I had a Club wrap with lettuce, onions, tomato's, bacon, pesto, mayo and mustard and it was delicious and very filling! My meal also came with a side of chips and a pickle! I highly recommend this gem, and I will be a forever customer!“
“Great place for an amazing breakfast! We enjoyed omlettes, egg Benny's, and a good kids meal. The hollandaise sauce was great! Coffee was fresh and they kept if filled. We are here for the week and we will be back for breakfast again. Close at 2PM..“
“Great food, service and atmosphere. It’s a bit noisy but still comfortable. We ordered the Ham and Gruyere Cheese Melt even though I don’t know what kind of cheese that is. It came hot and tasted good. So did the Cheese and Broccoli soup. We also got 1/2 Roast Beef and Havarti and Superfood Kale salad. We realized this food was actually delicious. Suzanne was an outstanding server. We are going back, and so should you.“
“The Brevard Zoo is a wonderful smaller zoo, with amazing exhibits and diversity of animals. We have season passes and it’s so nice to walk the loops in a few hours. We always see something new and exciting. But we’re big animal and nature lovers. The food is quite good, as is the gift shop. There are lots of event throughout the year. The zip line and adventure course is lots of fun. The volunteers are wonderful, too.“
“We had an issue with a product here and the Store Manager (Mike Burns) was amazing with correcting the issue. Big props to him, his Store and Staff. Much thanks for taking the time to take care of us. Love Sam's of Melbourne. Thanks, TL. ?“
“The one thing that I can say about Starbucks if your coffee is not up to the way that you like it, your iced coffee or anything that you order they will remake it and I think that’s great. Usually every time we get coffee there it always turns out great I get the iced coffee espresso, my husband just gets espresso and every single time a blueberry scone service is outstanding no matter how long line is the drive-through seems to go really quick“
“Literally the best cfs I’ve ever had. Everything we had was amazing. We all got something different due to it being our first time and wanted to make sure we got to try a little bit of something. We all shared our meals and it was all so good. I drove over an hour to come try mulberry lane and it was so worth it and will definitely become a regular thing for my family.“
