Strolled in this little spot on a Saturday afternoon for some brunch. I've been here a couple of times because I enjoy trying their eclectic menu options. For this trip I opted for the Banana Nut Pancakes. They were fluffy and delicious with a large dollop of sweet whipped cream and pecans for days. My only problem was that the description of this item said it had brown sugar and cinnamon streusel baked inside, of which I tasted none of. I think they must have forgotten to add that to mine because it was completely MIA. It was still delicious, my tastes buds were just missing that extra yumminess. read more

Overall our experience was good. This is our second time coming here. There was a wait time which was typical for Sunday morning. We were told it was a 20 minute wait which was accurate. I've tried the avocado toast ( very good) and the eggs Benedict. My only complaint is the turkey sausage I subbed for my meal had an odd taste to it. My boyfriend also got turkey sausage for his side and had the same remark. Other than that I would continue coming back to this establishment. read more

Great breakfast overall! However they got really busy by 9:30 so come before we luckily beat the rush. The staff was great they took our toast back twice when it wasn't toasted, constantly topped off the coffee, and the food came out correct. My doc's usual was a little greasy and the chicken sausage was tough, but I'm sure that's just the brand. The kids loved their waffles and pancakes! Recommend this place. read more

3 friends and I ate Sunday breakfast at Canopy Road. Nice spacious seating and very friendly staff. Our waitress Jaime was great. Food was good. I had a build your own omelette of: Spinach, bacon, goat cheese (wanted feta but they were out. For me, the goat cheese took something away from the omelette ) and mushroom. Also a side of home fries and one buttermilk pancake. The pancake was not as hot as I would have liked but still tasty. Overall a good breakfast. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal. They have outside seating in the front off the parking lot and a back deck. Too humid to try in July in Fl but would be nice in the fall. I live near by so I can see myself going back. . read more

Food was awesome. I'm so full. The service was great. Very attentive and nice. Our server gave some recommendations for things to do nearby. The ambiance definitely gave diner. Old tunes playing with the sounds of utensils clattering and soft voices around. If i come to Tampa again, I would come back. Recommend the cinnamon roll pancakes and the Nashville hot chicken Benedict! read more

For sunday brunch we decided to try one of the popular cafes of Brandon. The cafe was very busy and we had to wait for 30 minutes to get a seating. But it was worth the wait. When we were seated we started with Black Coffee and Soda Lemonade. For brunch we ordered One of the specials for the day ie Tuna Melt with House Salad, Breakfast Burrito and Canopy Road Specials with Grilled Chicken and Cap Cp N' French Toast. The decor of the cafe is amazing. The service was also quick. Tuna Melt: Amazing dish with Tuna perfectly cooked and cheese. Breakfast Burrito: One of the popular dishes of the cafe. One of the best burritos I have had. Plus it is very big and fulfilling. Definitely try. Canopy Road Specials with Grilled Chicken and Pancake: The pancake was amazing. The specials was also amazing. The one thing which we didn't like was the grilled chicken was very dry. Please try to improve on that. Rest it is an amazing cafe. Loved the atmosphere. read more

Edit: Hi Chris, Yes, you did tell me that the maple syrup dishes are cleaned regularly and you may not have directly told me that I am lying, but you and the GM most definitely insinuated it by saying that "it's a mystery" about where they came from and that "there's no way because they were sent through the dishwasher this morning". Yes, I had been sitting outside along with my two other friends who also had food and sugary items open yet they didn't have any ants on their food. It also doesn't make much sense how after sending the first order back there were no other ants seen on our table, so maybe you're right, maybe it is a mystery, or maybe within the 30 seconds it was on my table I collected several ants and purposely put it on my plate or maybe, and in my opinion the most likely of the options, it came straight from the bottle. I understand syrup is sugary (I even told Kristen that I knew it wasn't her fault with a laugh), but quite frankly the major issue now is about how the situation was handled. I asked Kristen to speak to the manager and when the manager realized that she couldn't do anything for me she offered to get you, the owner, I never once asked to speak to you. The GM entered the restaurant and yelled that we didn't want to speak to her which just isn't true (I wasn't even aware that there was an owner in the building, I was just aware that there was a manager so it would make no sense that I asked for you). I have been to this restaurant several times and have never had any issues so I believe you when you say this has never happened, but even if it has never happened the way it was handled was unacceptable. And yes obviously I took the food that I ordered home after I had to wait an extra 15 minutes for it to be made because I wasn't expecting my first one to have ants. You took it off the bill after several minutes of arguing about the situation. So yes I am going to write a novel, just like the one you replied with;) , because when people ask for their maple syrup I want to make sure they ask for "maple syrup, hold the ants". The review is to state how poorly you handled a situation, every restaurant has bugs. Your comment just proves how you poorly your customer service is. I would like to start off by saying that our server Kristen was terrific and handled this situation as best as she could. I have never had a restaurant handle an issue in such a rude and disrespectful way. This morning I ordered some french toast and maple syrup on the side. Within 30 seconds of getting the food, I poured the maple syrup into a small corner of the plate and to my surprise, SEVERAL ANTS were also pouring out onto my plate. I've worked in several restaurants and my brothers have too, one of them is even an actual chef so I MIGHT have some restaurant knowledge. I returned the plate to my server and laughed about it; she had a new one made for me. When receiving my check I hadn't received any discount and I hadn't even been approached by a manager at this point which I thought was pretty weird. I made a comment and the manager took 10% off (kinda small considering there were ants in my food), so I asked to speak to the manager. This acting "general manager" has absolutely no customer service skills at all. They tried to tell me that there was no way it came from the syrup because she had cleaned them this morning (basically telling me I was lying), mind you that the rest of our breakfast we had not seen one ant so I guess the ants came out of thin air. She then offered to get the owner and as she entered the building and yelled "She doesn't want to talk to me Chris" to a restaurant full of other guests, which is extremely unprofessional and just not the case whatsoever. Chris came out and continued to tell me that I was lying and that "it's a mystery" about the ants. Since I had received a new dish with no issues he felt that there was no reason to give me a discount (I wasn't expecting the whole thing to be taken off either), so I asked what he would do if it was a roach instead and he was he would take it off the bill (a roach and an ant are both considered pests and should be nowhere near food). The ANTS thing is an issue but the way that the OWNER and the GENERAL MANAGER handled this situation is an even bigger issue. I was never approached by a manager about the issue until the discount was brought up, I was told that I was lying, there were ants in the maple syrup, there was no discount, to begin with, and the manager and owner just kept lying and lying to save their ass. Maybe learn some customer service skills and how to actually deal with issues because something that I learned from customer service is "the customers always right" but to Chris it seems more like "the customer is right when it doesn't damage my extremely fragile ego". Much love to Kristen though, hope you make lots of money. read more

Another great visit to Canopy Road Cafe! The food always tastes great and the portions are amazing. Even through their busiest times, the servers and hosts are always smiling and very accommodating.

I've only gotten take out here once.... It was absolutely awful. I don't know if it was a bad day or maybe we just chose the wrong items that didn't do takeout well. But I felt like the cinnamon rolls tasted like chalk. It was some odd taste to it it didn't even taste like frosting, and I had a few other items with my husband, and neither were a fan of any of the items. Everything came in a timely manner, but can't say that we have ordered again or plan to. read more

Avocado and guacamole ARE NOT the same thing. I ordered the BLT Benedict. The menu said it came with avocado. Instead it was served with guacamole spread. The kind you find at a supermarket in pouches or containers. Which also turns brown really quick. It ruined the dish. I only had 2 bites. It was very obvious, but the waiter didn't care to ask if there was something wrong with the food. It was my 1st time here and last. read more

Great food, the servers were nice and welcoming. No complaints here. They also offer military discount. read more

Visited on a Saturday around noon for brunch. I ordered the veggie breakfast wrap - spinach, onions, peppers, & veggie sausage. The wrap was severed warm & was absolutely delicious. This was truly a veggie masterpiece! The home fries were soft, crunchy & were very good. I also had the Banana fosters french toast - the toast was great & I'd highly recommend. My server was attentive & friendly; the space is modern & inviting. I observed many kitchen staff without face coverings during my visit. I understand at times face coverings in a kitchen can get hot & uncomfortable but let's continue to have each other's best interest by wearing a face coverings. read more

Sometimes I set my expectations too high and then I get disappointed. The food here was not as great to me as others had experienced. I came for brunch and of course I went with my go to chicken n waffles (I really need to switch it up). There was nothing special about it. It was a regular waffle with regular overcooked tenders. My friends also weren't satisfied with their meals either. We only came to this place because of the location and the reviews. Unfortunately they did not deliver. read more

Normally I don't like to mess with a good thing but the bacon jam Bennie is to die for and the country fried steak is just uniquely better than anywhere else. I love the fried green tomatoes even tho I didn't get the cheese and aioli with it. Although now that I'm on the subject they should strongly consider trialing the bacon jam as a FGT topper... Or a BLT altogether... mmmmm. read more

Ordered the banana foster French toast that states chopped pecans or on top but I'm guessing they didn't have any so they put peanuts instead. My mother has a peanut allergy so this was the last thing she needed because she instantly started itching after taking one bite.After we brought it to our waitress Mikaylas attention, she then told us that she wasn't going back and forth with us about what was put on the French toast.I then asked to speak to the manager and to my surprise, mikayla is the manager. On top of the peanut issue, the French toast came out soggy and undercooked. I will be following up with the owner but today was a terrible experience and my family frequents this restaurant alot. read more

Really chill, laid back breakfast spot. I had the Canopy Road special and upgraded to a blueberry cobbler pancake. It was all delicious. Service was a tad slow but I was there with friends to catch up, so we didn't really even notice. Only negative I noticed, is they don't serve alcohol. Hard to call it a brunch without a mimosa read more

Everything came out delicious from Canopy road cafe our server was really sweet and quick to take out order the only thing negative I would have to say is they gave us a 15min wait time and we waited 40 mins to be sat at a table that had been available since we got there! read more

Just left this place And honestly was NOT worth the wait! After looking through the menu many times I got the breakfast burrito with an unsweetened iced tea Hubz got the churro waffle with eggs and coffee Got a side order of pecan bacon When our server came we asked for a kids menu Which they don't have a physical copy of, and we got the French toast sticks without sprinkles (which they didn't tell us, I saw on a yelp pic someone posted) They gave me sweet tea which was warm with ice in it, I had to find our server and she said she heard me wrong My daughters food came our first It's literally a single French toast sliced up My burrito came and it looked ok The eggs my husband and the bacon we ordered (2 shriveled up pieces) looked like they've had better days The churro waffle looked the most presentable, as per Hubz it was sweet n meh All these were served by not our server My burrito, now explain to me how the cheese in my burrito is NOT melted And the inside egg n chorizo was room temp?! I need that explained like just how! Our server comes back again and said she was tied up and she is sorry for disappearing We asked for a box for the waffles, (I didn't even finish my food and was not taking it home) and the check Overall not coming back! read more

First time visit it was busy but not a long wait. I was excited to try the biscuits and gravy, well I was highly disappointed it was bland and just no taste. It comes with eggs and potatoes and choice of meat, I choose bacon which was not cooked all the way. the food was room temperature not hot at all. Not sure I will be back. Maybe I should have ordered one of their pancake options. read more

We went to Canopy Road based on the decent Yelp reviews. We are rarely disappointed when there are good reviews, but this time Yelp was wrong. There were only 2 other people in the restaurant, but it took quite a while to be acknowledged. My husband ordered the Hormel Hasher, mainly because it stated on the menu that the hash was crispy. NOT. He did not want to send it back because of how long it took to get our order. I had the Eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was curdled (lumpy) and the eggs were cold. Sorry Yelpers, it appears this place is hit or miss. read more

Had this place for the first time. The area is so cute, pretty much a hidden gem! So happy for more non large commercially owned business to come to the Brandon/Riverview area! Went out 12noon for brunch, walked in and immediately was seated... actually was able to pick where we wanted to sit. Slowly got busier, though. The place was clean. There's large booths, very minimum window sitting, bar sitting, and patio sitting(which wasn't offered to us or set up when we went). The lighting is pretty dim, like super dim...that's about the only thing I wasn't a fan of. Okay, the food though... amazing. I had the Griddle Combo. You have the option of just having an item from the griddle or you can make it a combo by adding meat and 2 eggs. The have turkey sausage, veggie(which i got, and was bomb), and pork! The eggs were real eggs, which is so excited. If restaurants were allowed to season up their eggs, it would've been perfect. Just add some salt and pepper and problem solved. I did go the extra mile and try the green Tabasco sauce the first time. Also got the Cap'N Crunch french toast... AMAZING. I ate all of it, there was a half size with two french toast in four pieces and full size with eight! This place is clean, perfectly priced(we may be getting over), and a nice area, great staff read more

We stopped by while visiting before Busch Gardens and the food was amazing! We got the apple cinnamon french toast and it was so good. The service was good, they got us in and out fast (We wanted to get to the park) I couldnt say enough good things about it! read more

First time here.....I also tried something different as normally I do standard eggs over easy, bacon, and toast with hashbrowns. I chose the Monterey omelet due to avocado being in it. I was hoping for slices but it was more mushy. Then, I had home fries, I dipped in ketchup and was fine. If I am in area again for breakfast. I will eat here again, but will trying something different. read more

It's at the end of a strip mall, and very unassuming from the outside, but wow, that's where the ordinary ends. I stopped in for breakfast about 9:30 on a Friday morning. There was no wait, snd the service was fast and friendly. The menu is huge, with so many unique offerings, both savory and sweet. I chose the bananas foster French toast with a side of bacon-and everything was exquisite. What a delicious and filling meal. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes. Bonus: it's a new place and super clean. read more

Wow! I was hoping to find a gem of a brunch spot... but absolutely not! Hubs got the Ruben & potato salad. The thin slices of corned beef tasted like deli meat & was like chewing on leather. There was little to no sauerkraut & the rye bread was barely toasted. The potato salad was ok. I couldn't decide so I got the Southern Benedict w extra hollandaise & English muffin toasted dark. Hash browns EXTRA crispy. The English muffin was barely toasted & the hash browns were still pretty raw, so nothing was prepared to my requests. I told the waitress my disappointments & said I didn't want any discount or remade. I just wanted to let the cooks know so they can do better. Lastly, and probably my biggest pet peeve in restaurants, the waitress touched the coffee carafe to my cup when she was pouring more coffee. How many other cups has she touched & cross contaminated to my cup? I know, I know... there are probably a ton of gross things happening in all restaurant kitchens, but this one is glaring in my face. I will not drink a sip out of that cup after seeing this. Ugh Hope they see this & do better! read more

I'm literally in my car after leaving this place. Worst breakfast experience EVER. Lovely young server got my order of bacon and cheese omelette with hash browns and toast. The food come out and I immediately notice the hash tans, not browns are under cooked. I take a small fork if them and they're COLD, not warm, COLD. I get the cubed potatoes and butter the toast and the toast doesn't have a hint of warmth and is tough, like it was toasted when they opened and the toast sat for an hour. I take a fork of my omelette and the bottom of the omelette was COLD. I left disgusted. The poor waitress asked if I wanted everything heated up, I declined. You couldn't pay me to come back here. The "cooks" have no clue on how to cook!!! This was Sunday Feb 19 at 8:00 am!! Off to Keke's or Waffle House. read more

Food is good but service is not that good. The waitress that we have was not giving any information about the food coming out late. We ordered starters and it came with the actual food.

I decided to try this restaurant after a friend invited me to brunch. What I first noticed is the decor of the exterior and the interior. It's so cute! We sat at the bar because it was Saturday morning and a little busy. The restaurant is smaller but they make good use of the space. I ordered the sweet potatoe pancakes which are my new favorite pancakes! I love the sweet sauce that comes with it. The home fries were also cooked perfectly with a little crisp. read more
