My friend and I had a really great brunch here!! I had pancakes and bacon. The pancake were so big and perfectly cooked!! We also ordered the bottomless mimosas for $25. It was worth it lol. We sat outside on their patio and just relaxed and ate. It was busy there but the service was fast and everything was really delicious. This is a great breakfast spot for sure!! Plenty of parking in the lot and lots of tables.

If you're tired of long tourist lines and overpriced breakfast spots in Destin, save this video right now. Café Destin is officially elite. We're talking 10/10 quality, comparable prices, and the kind of fast, efficient service that gets you back to the beach in no time. Highly recommend the Banana foster French toast #eatingwithbrent

Stopped here while on our way to the grocery store while in Destin FL. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. We both got the chicken sandwich and fries. It was a nice size chicken breast deep fried. It is a brunch place so only open till 2:00. The offer breakfast and sandwiches to order.

Busy is an understatement. This place was packed but between the indoor and outdoor seating there was plenty to go around. The outdoors was perfect for a lovely breakfast or brunch and the food was to die for. I got the bacon burrito and it was so good. Everything is hot and fresh (I'm an impatient person) so I burned my mouth but it was so worth it. Definitely a go to for breakfast when down in Destin!

Love this spot! It's classic diner food and great service. The omelettes are big! There's lots of seating and space for a big group (it's seat yourself, and you order at the counter). Love the matcha, both iced and hot.

We came to Cafe Destin because the restaurant we wanted to try was an hour wait. The ambiance is self seating. It was packed when we arrived. It's a bit of a confusing concept as it's self seating but you need to go up to the counter to order. Service was friendly and welcoming. Food was good but my meal, the omelcado had two hairs. One by the ranch dressing and the other by the salad itself. I lost my appetite. The lady was nice and took it off the bill. Then I went to get a napkin and spotted another hair on the napkin.

Small spot but great service! The building is not very big, you walk into a line to order your food and find a seat but the line moves fast and the food came out pretty fast. They have a coffee section of the menu to order specialty drinks, mimosas. Cute place in a small space with a big impact. The portions are generous and the food was very good.

Cafe Destin puts me in the mind of First Watch, with their friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, fast service, and amazing food. They offer casual cafe, and health-minded dining for breakfast and lunch. The staff was friendly and welcoming upon entering the restaurant. And the food was amazing, especially the Gouda cheese grits. The grits were sooooo creamy and flavorful paired with the Gouda cheese. Last but not least, the sourdough bread for toast was the star of the breakfast, and I wish I had ordered extra. It's not goodbye but see you again soon!

Tiffany H.

My husband and I visited Cafe Destin and we both left impressed! I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit with a side of potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious. The biscuit was buttery and flaky, the bacon perfectly crisp, and the potatoes golden and seasoned just right. My husband went with the Southern Breakfast, which came with all the comforting classics, and he loved every bite. We will definitely come back!

Sam M.

Fairly good breakfast food, and quick service. The seating is on your own and everything is served on paper plates and plastic utensils but otherwise great experience. Definitely would come back!

Cafe Destin has now become one of our favorite breakfast spots when we visit Destin each October. As of October 2021, they've been open for about a year. The atmosphere is bright and open and the staff is very accommodating and welcoming. We've not had lunch here yet but have enjoyed breakfast twice. Be aware that this is a counter-ordering establishment where your order is then delivered to your table. If you're seeking a restaurant with table service and servers, look elsewhere. Cafe Destin's menu has plenty to choose from, a pastry case and they can whip up your favorite coffee drinks like lattes. It's also large enough and with faster turnover, you'll likely be able to find a table even if you haven't gotten up at the crack of dawn. Destin breakfast restaurants tend to get quite busy around 8:30 to 9:00. Our annual Destin visits are filled with dining out and we really enjoy breakfast. So, having another attractive choice was a real pleasure. We'll definitely choose to frequent Cafe Destin many times in the future. read more

Had breakfast here today for the first time. We are locals and don't usually eat breakfast out; but we're out early today. The pancakes had no flavor. They were big but not tasty. The sausage was just plain patties , two for $3.50. My husband had biscuits with gravy and eggs over medium. His was very bland and his coffee tasted like mud. You order at a counter and they bring you your food. The ambience was nice and beachy. I will not be going back when I can eat at home and have better food. read more

We visited this quaint place for breakfast. When you walk in, your welcomed by a great staff awaiting your order, at the counter. We ordered a Make it your own omelette and Salmon Benedict. We found a seat after getting our order number. They were extremely busy and our food came fairly quickly. And just so you know, they ask you not grab a table till after you order. This allows those ahead of you get a table. It didn't take long for several tables to open up. The staff worked hard to make that happen. Back to the food. When our food arrived, it was hot, fresh and delicious. The omelette was filled with lots of meat and cheese. It was served with a side of cut potatoes. My Smoked Salmon Benedict was perfect. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, runny and hot. The topping wasn't your topical Holland sauce. It was a chacon, tomato based, little spicy, but satisfying. We also had a side order of applewood bacon. It was flavorful with the applewood smoke favor, I should have asked for crispy. It was hot, definitely tasty, We enjoyed the coffee, it was strong and hit the spot. They have half and half, and French Vanilla as a creamer to add if you so desire. All and all, this small, but busy place knows how to please their customers with great food and a smile. Even thru COVID, they are happy, smiling and making sure they have their customers come back. And yes, I could see that smile even with their masks on. I hate that we are here only one time a year. But, now we have a great breakfast, or lunch place while we're in Destin. Keep up the great work guys, Ya'll are doing to right!!!! read more

CUUUUTE little cafe!…read more LOVE the ambiance and the very unique and quaint vibes. Love the little details of the variance in lighting and cat art incorporated throughout. The cafe itself is a bit tiny and the bakery items arn't super varied, but what they do have looks pretty good. We did not book a spot in the lounge with the cats, but they looks very content and it's super cool that they re-home these shelter cats!!! LOVE supporting a local place that also supports a positive cause. Got a iced macha latte which was very good, not too sweet but just right! Got two vanilla milk shakes for the kiddo and the hubs and the vanilla is super good! Has a hint of birthday cake taste to it! Prices are fair and service is quick!! Would gladly be back next time I'm in the area.

Good food. The staff was super kind. The cats are adorable. What more could you ask for.read more

Clark was our waitress and she was the best. I had the surf side sampler as a meal. It came with a good amount of shrimp and fish dip. The Mozzarella sticks for delicious and the hush puppies were worth it. For my drink, I had the coco cabana. It was a little too sweet for me, but I still drank it. For dessert, we shared the key lime pie. It was perfectly sweet and tart. Service is very quick. The view is beautiful.

Dewey Destin's Harborside

Our favorite restaurant in Destin. Always amazing food and service and drinks…read more We have been to so many restaurants in the area and nothing lives up to Dewey. Great atmosphere and everything is delicious and so fresh. I wish they would bring back their sesame tuna and some of their old side dishes but their current menu items are still fabulous.

The service was friendly and the fish tasted fresh, so there's a solid foundation. But the…read moreexecution fell flat for us. Nothing was seasoned. Not the fish, not the fries, not the corn. We noticed that every time servers brought food to a table, they'd immediately point out that salt and pepper were available, so it seems like that's just their thing. Not ours though. The hush puppies were okay but a little overcooked, nothing to write home about. The fried shrimp was actually the best part of the meal and worth ordering. Overall, a decent spot if you're okay seasoning everything yourself, but for a seafood destination in Destin, we expected a bit more.

We tried the pappardelle with sausage & the chicken piccata as our mains & I loved them both. The pappardelle was soo creamy & saucy! My mouth is drooling just writing this thinking about it The piccata had plenty of capers & lemon and the chicken was very tender We also got the Caesar salad in a large which could be shared with 3 people but we had only 2 eating and one toddler who ate all the croutons ha which meant our pastas came home with us but the salad was very fresh tasting and light. I didn't taste much anchovy but salt level was nice. I also got the peartini and it was great! Very refreshing and heavy on the pear flavor. If you like a sweet drink, get this Our server was excellent - she was amazing with our son and so were all the other servers that were at nearby tables even when a few items made their way to the floor There's plenty of parking in a huge shared lot and reservations are definitely recommended. They also have some outdoor and bar seating

Wow! This place is amazing. We were on our way home and decided we wanted some pizza. I was looking…read moreon Yelp and decided on this gem. The decor is crisp and clean. The music accompanies the scene of the restaurant. We arrived at 11:45AM before the lunch crowd arrived. Krisztian was our everything! He greeted us, waited on us and took care of everyone else at the same time. No one was waiting on nothing. He gave us some great recommendations and we started with the garlic rolls. Man, these are some of the best garlic rolls I've ever had. They were hot, buttery and so light all at the same time. We then ordered the Gorgonzola pizza. It came with grilled chicken and onions with no sauce. We added pesto sauce and wow. The pizza was so delicious and had so much flavor. Krisztian then brought us out the best cheesecake I've ever had period! Everything about this dessert was screaming fresh and homemade. The crust was so buttery and the cheesecake had the right amount of sweetness. Also, they have happy hour 7 days a week!!!!! Their happy hour menu is outrageous and has something for everyone. If you haven't been here, you need to get here for the best pizza and Italian food around. I suggest you make a reservation so you don't miss out. We will be back soon!!!!

If you're looking for a café that truly delivers on flavor and freshness, this spot is a must-visit! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The salmon toast was amazing -- perfectly balanced with fresh toppings and rich, savory flavor in every bite. It was light yet satisfying and beautifully presented. The French toast was just as impressive, topped with fresh whipped cream that melted perfectly into each warm slice. It had that ideal texture -- soft on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. And the standout? The banana fosters waffles. They were sweet -- but not overly sweet -- with just the right amount of flavor. The caramelized banana topping paired perfectly with the fluffy waffles, making every bite indulgent without being heavy. Overall, a fantastic café experience with delicious food done right. I'll definitely be back! The cappuccino art was a nice surprise read more

Amazing service & amazing food! To start off the food was amazing, everything was fast and delicious. We recommend any of the pancakes, waffles, and grits. The two men who were helping serve and clean were what made us feel welcome. The service was outstanding and they were constantly checking on everyone while maintaining a clean area. Even though we are not from the area this is where will come back every time!! Can't recommend it enough! read more
