Came for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We were the only ones there. There are only around 3 tables inside and around 4-5 more in the entry hallway. The breakfast was by no means anything special. Maybe their sandwiches are better. I would definitely not go back for breakfast. Overpriced too.

The food is so amazing you can taste the love in the food. It is a sweet and quaint little place that has the best orange juice that is really fresh squeezed.Everything on the menu is wonderful you can't go wrong. This is our favorite Sunday place to eat with the family.

This Cafe was wonderful, The historical building that has this cafe inside was very inviting. The food was great, very fresh tasting and leaves you wanting to hurry back! The service was great also, very friendly and helpful! Looks like I found my new lunch place!

We had read a review of this cafe in the Bradenton Herald. The review was good, so when we found ourselves close to Palmetto today, we decided to check this place out. I kept the review in the car so we would know the location. The woman behind the counter was very friendly. She offered us samples of their cole... More

This cafe is hidden in the historical building Crusader. It is right next to the River and Marina. I cannot say enough good things about this cafe. It has some of the best sandwiches and salads I have had. The sandwiches always have a different yet enjoyable sauce on them like the Club with Garlic Basil Mayo, gouda cheese and... More
