    Feel bad that I didn't snap a pic, but we were hungry and when we got our order, we just started eating! The service was fast and friendly. We sat at c the counter so able to watch Brenda cook and chat her up too. We ordered breakfast because heard it was good. It was! Just like home, but better because I didn't have to clean up after. I had the Farmer's omelette, was loaded with peppers, onions, potatoes, ham and was covered in white gravy. We also had the French toast, the everything omelette, and the chicken sandwich. Everything was so good, eggs were nice and fluffy, & teeming with ingredients. The French toast was prepared with sourdough bread so it was nice and thick with crispy edges. The coffee was good, a little weak for my taste but it was flavorful. But the best part was the friendliness of the staff.

    We ate at Brenda's two days in a row while on vacation because it was that good. You can tell this is the type of place where they remember you after one visit, and I love that in a place. The pancakes were delicious!

    I always see this little place, next to Hurricane Eddie's on my way to and from honeymoon island. We decided to stop in for breakfast after an early morning of shelling. Three kids in our party thought it needed a serious remodel, and I told them all about "dive restaurants" and how they can be the best kind. But Brenda's is somewhere in the middle. It doesn't really have enough personality to be a cool dive, but it also isn't nice or new. There is some kitschy decor, which I like. The two waitresses and the woman on the grill are reminiscent of Betty White. Our waitresses complimented the kids in our party on their behavior, but the other one sneered at them (for no reason). Ours were the only kids in there, and I jokingly asked my husband if this was a 55+ restaurant. Food did not come quickly. It took a little while, which is ok, but we were definitely all ready for it. I had french toast, which was eggy on one side, but still pretty good. Bacon was crispy. Pancakes were bigger than the plate! Corned beef hash was crispy, and there was a different hot sauce on every table to choose from. Home fries were good but without seasoning. I couldn't believe our bill for 5 people was $50. A bit steep, I thought! Next time we'll try another place nearby, but I would come back again I guess.

    Love Tukro Coffee! It's our go-to local coffee shop. They offer a great variety of drinks,…read morepastries, and breakfast sandwiches. My favorites are the spinach & feta and the ham & cheese sandwiches...they're always delicious. The outdoor seating area is fantastic and works well for larger groups, plus it's welcoming to well-behaved dogs and kids. The interior is cozy but a bit small, so it can get busy. Don't let a line out the door scare you off though...it usually moves quickly! Highly recommend if you're looking for a great local spot for coffee and a bite to eat.

    I recently stopped by Tukro Cafe, a small and very charming coffee shop tucked into what feels like…read morean old bungalow. The space is cozy and quaint, with just a little bit of indoor seating and some outdoor tables that make it a great spot to sit and relax with a coffee. The atmosphere is really what makes this place special. It has a laid-back, neighborhood feel, and everyone working there was very friendly and welcoming. I also loved that it's within easy walking distance to the Downtown Dunedin market, so it's a perfect place to grab a coffee before or after strolling around town. On this visit I ordered a Snickerdoodle Latte. At first they accidentally gave me a regular latte without the flavoring, but once I mentioned it they were happy to fix it and added the snickerdoodle flavor. The drink ended up being good, though a bit lighter on the flavor than I expected. I expected it to taste more like the cookie, but it was more of a subtle hint. They also offer pastries, though I didn't try any this time. Next visit I'll probably check those out (and see if they happen to have any gluten-free options). Overall it's a really cute spot with a relaxed vibe, and I would definitely come back again -- especially when spending time around downtown Dunedin. I wanted to give a 3.5 stars rating, but decided to round up to 4 stars. Everyone can make a mistake (like with my drink) and I just got a good vibe from this place. I will update my review at my next visit.
