    Bacon & Eggs
    Brian C.

    A nice breakfast spot across from the hotel I stayed at. I sat up at the bar counter and was in and out with ease. The is inside was big and easy to get around. The service was friendly and prompt. I had the basic bacon and eggs breakfast with a coffee, and everything hit the spot. Thanks for the service and for having me!

    Been coming here for years, even before they expanded to more locations. Staff is always friendly and helpful, and they know the regulars. Very casual, easy going atmosphere.

    Mushroom cheddar omelette with sourdough toast!

    Since my stepson started going to FSU, we've been on the lookout for good breakfast spots. This Canopy Road Cafe location was right up the road from our hotel on Apalachee. Luckily for us, we got here after the breakfast crowd and got seated right away. The cafe is part of a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. It's nicely decorated and the service was very friendly. The menu has all the standard breakfast options along with lots of healthy choices. The omelettes sounded good so we all ordered these with various combinations. My cheddar mushroom omelette served with sourdough bread was delicious! The hash browns were more like shredded potatoes, not my favorite. The coffee, however, was excellent. I'd definitely go back to this spot or try one of the three other locations in Tallahassee. If you're going at the peak breakfast time, just be prepared for a wait.

    Blueberry Crumble Muffin & Large Fresh Fruit Bowl

    Canopy Road Breakfast over hotel breakfast any day! I was visiting Tallahassee for a few days. My hotel stay did not include breakfast but Canopy was right across the street so made my way over. It did not disappoint! Lucky every time I went it was a short wait, so my party & I were seated quickly. Waiters were super friendly and nice and made some great recommendations. We went twice in 1 week. My recommendations for anyone visiting. Get the cinnamon roll or the blueberry crumble muffin (split and buttered on the grill as recommended on their menu, of course!). Both are perfect sharing size or you could eat it by itself for breakfast. For entrees, I tried the Nashville Hot Chicken Benedict. A little too much hollandaise sauce for me. But the all-star was the chicken which had the right amount of heat and full of flavor. They also have great hash browns. You know a breakfast place is good when they have great hash browns. I was able to get a taste of the Douglas Breakfast Skillet over home fries too. Skillet was full of flavor; can't go wrong with that. Just delicious! The portions are a good size; perfect for a brunch type meal. Great breakfast spot got sure!

    Burnt and served for $17.00. One of my favorite restaurants in the past but I'm very unsatisfied today. Eggs were perfect. Toast lightly burned on one side. Hash browns were to a crisp. Barely any cheese. Ham uncooked. Bacon and sausage extra done. I tried to eat but the further I got the worst it was...

    Great breakfast spot. Friendly and speedy service and great food in a comfortable ambiance. Ample portions at good prices. Staff is awesome!

    Fried green tomatoes
    Reba L.

    Great ambiance and super friendly staff. Reservations are recommended and it closes at 2-ish. We got there at the end of their day. We enjoyed their corned beef hash dish and the biscuits and gravy. Their fried green tomatoes were also good, but a little batter-heavy. We'll go back.

    Vegan skillet and chocolate pancakes
    Willow O.

    My favorite restaurant in the US! Sometimes I go out of my way to go to Tallahassee just to go to Canopy Road. Excellent plant based options as well as yummy dessert pancakes!

    Biscuits and gravy breakfast (1)

    The Food(breakfast) is outstanding! I ordered biscuits and gravy and the taste was homemade and the amount was enough for 2 people. A cute little restaurant tucked away in the corner. You must make it here!

    Ginger A.

    Nice little cafe in Tallahassee, with great vegan options, everything was delicious. The only drawback was the long wait, the waitress we had was attentive and the restaurant was clean!

    Goat In The Garden Omelette
    Josh S.

    Excellent breakfast! We were seated promptly at a table, which seemed lucky because the place was packed. It's obviously a local favorite for weekend mornings. Our server was super friendly and helpful with some dietary modifications we asked for on one of the dishes. The food came out ridiculously quickly and we were all very happy with our orders. The Veggie omelette was packed full of all your garden favorites and accompanied by some very delicious and perfectly crisped home fries. I paid an up charge for fruit substitute for one of the starches and it was a good decision - a nice little assortment and all very fresh. Both the goat cheese omelette and the decadent French toast went over well too. This is one of those restaurants that I hope to try again when in the area to sample some of their other dishes.

    Fall specials!

    Can I get breakfast during the lunch hour too?

    Yes! My coworkers and I frequently order items from both their breakfast and lunch menus during our lunch break.

    Is this place located on the canopy road near Magnolia in Tallahassee?

    This specific location is located on Apalachee Pkwy (1779 Apalachee to be exact). It's in the same plaza as the Petsmart and Party City, among other stores. The other locations are at 1913 N. Monroe (near Planet Fitness) and 2202 Capital Circle NE.

    **Review: Solid Steak Dinner at The Edison**…read more I had a pleasant dinner at The Edison recently and walked away satisfied, especially with the food. Service was just okay--nothing terrible, but the appetizers definitely took longer than expected to come out. That said, our server was genuinely good: friendly, knowledgeable, and checked on us at the right moments without being overbearing. The appetizers were worth the wait. Both the fried green tomatoes and the crab appetizer were excellent--fresh, flavorful, and nicely executed. For the main course, the steak was spot-on: tender, well-seasoned, and cooked exactly as ordered. The potatoes that came with it were also really good--creamy and tasty without being heavy. We ended the meal with the bread pudding, and it was one of the best parts of the night. It was done perfectly: warm, moist, and full of rich, comforting flavor that didn't feel overly sweet. All in all, The Edison delivers on the food front. If you're after a reliable steak with some standout starters and a strong dessert, it's a solid choice. Ambiance was good, love the historic building. I'll definitely be back for the steak and bread pudding. Recommended!

    Stylish spot with quality food and drinks!!!!!!!!…read more The Edison offers a pleasant dining experience with a modern, inviting atmosphere. The food was well-prepared and flavorful, with a menu that balances classic favorites and creative options. Portions were satisfying, and presentation was thoughtful. The space has a lively yet comfortable vibe, making it a great place for both casual meals and social outings. Service was friendly and attentive, though it slowed a little during peak times. Overall, The Edison is a solid choice for good food, drinks, and ambiance. With slightly faster service during busy hours, it could easily earn a full five stars

    We visited Hayward House Bistro for brunch on FSU Parents Weekend, September 2025. That Sunday…read moremorning the wait list was in effect before the restaurant even opened. I managed to secure a nice table with not even a 25 minute wait thanks to a very courteous and professional manager (thank you, Steve!). At the table, everything was clean, shiny and the server was prompt despite a very busy morning. The crowd, obviously, seemed to be mostly college students and parents. I'm pretty sure during the week it's the Capitol Hill crowd. The food was tasty and really hit the spot. Coffees fresh brewed all around, of course. We started with the Breakfast Poutine for appetizer which was hearty and all enjoyed. For entrees, two Southern Benedict, the Waffle Flight, scrambled eggs and bacon. All the food was cooked to order, presented nicely and the taste exceeded expectations. Also, kudos to our Server, Jose. We'll likely visit again and enjoyed the meal. The ambience, flavors and service professionals were great. I should also mention parking in this area can be challenging so take that into consideration. Do make a reservation or arrive early!

    We chose Hayward House to celebrate our son's graduation from Florida State University and made a…read more2:15 pm lunch reservation for 6 people because the ceremony was at 7 pm. We drove to Tallahassee that day, but unfortunately got caught in heavy traffic due to President Trump speaking in Sumter County near The Villages. As Soon as we realized we would not make our reservation, we called the restaurant to explain the unavoidable circumstances and asked if there was any way to move our reservation to another time that day. Initially, we were told no, so we canceled the reservation. Shortly afterwards, the restaurant called back and informed us we would be charged a cancellation fee of $ 150 - $ 25.00 per person. I completely understand having a cancellation policy, however, charging $ 25 per person for a lunch reservation during unavoidable traffic circumstances felt excessive and unreasonable, especially after we proactively called ahead. What was even more disappointing was the complete lack of flexibility or compassion during an important family milestone. I explained repeatedly that we were desperately trying not to miss our son's graduation celebration and were even worried about missing the ceremony itself because we were stuck in traffic. I asked about every possible alternative- a later dinner reservation, appetizers only, or even moving reservation to another day. Ever request was denied except for a 4 pm slot, which still was not realistic given the traffic situation. What upset me the most was not just the fee itself, but the unwillingness to work with us. A more customer focused approach could have been allowing the $ 150 to be applied toward a future visit. Because of this experience, my family will NEVER dine at Hayward House, and I would NOT recommend it to other FSU families celebrating special occasions.
