Quite simply, the best sandwich shop I have ever eaten at! I live in DeLand, about 90 minutes away, and I often ride my motorcycle to Micanopy just to eat lunch here. Large sandwiches on freshly baked bread with delicious meats. Oh yeah, and reasonably priced.

There aren't many places to eat in Micanopy but 12 of us managed to squeeze in at the few tables and enjoyed our lunch. I lived in Miami for several years and their sandwich riivaled those in Miami.

The Old Florida Cafe is a great place for a relaxing lunch. I took an out of town visitor on a pleasantly cool afternoon. We were greeted as soon as we entered and told that the day's special was Aunt Sherry's chicken salad. We ordered the version with a chicken salad-stuffed tomato and went out to sit on the porch....

We have enjoyed the food and atmosphere at the Old Florida Cafe for many years. The best Cuban sandwiches, and bean dishes are found there. On our last visit we were not disappointed by the food but the atmosphere was not like it used to be. A little sprucing up is in order. Definitely worth a stop but not as... More

Service was pleasant and quick. The "Bacon Me Crazy" BLT was delicious. The outdoor tables below the moss-draped Live Oak Trees were such a relaxing setting, you could just feel your heartbeat slow down as you chill out. Not a huge menu but choices for most eating styles.

All the food is great especially the Black beans.Plus the Ice cream is rich and delicious.Right in the heart of Micanopy.This is a great break when you are worn down from checking out all the fantastic shops and antique places that make Micanopy suchj a treasure to visit.

There's not a lot of room to sit inside as it is chalk full of florida memorabilia, but there are tables outside if the weather permits and the mosquitos aren't biting. The food is large portions (had the reuben sandwich) and noodle soup on a cooler fall day. The staff is mediocre--not anticipating needs but not ignoring either. Prices very... More

We were looking for a place to stop for lunch while on the road recently. We decided to stop in Micanopy FL The town had several very nice shops that we enjoyed visiting and will probably stop here on our next trip. We selected the Old Florida Cafe for lunch. It was a good choice. Nothing fancy or expensive. My... More

My husband and I stopped by Old Florida Cafe while visiting our daughters in Gainesville. Being a vegan, I was afraid there wouldn't be much on the menu for me but was pleasantly surprised to find a vegetarian section! I quickly decided on the veggie sandwich (sans cheese), hubby had the Cuban. Since we are from South Florida, we know... More
