I'M ONLY READING THE HOT SAUCE... I was gifted a few bottles of Dancing Avacado Kitchen hot sauce by my mother a few years ago and have been hooked ever since. Hot sauce is one of those things my mother and I bond over! Mom buys powders, pastes, sauces, and all other forms of capsaicin concoctionery for me on her travels through life... But this Ghost Pepper from Dancing Avacado Kitchen?! This stuff is now a staple in my Seattle kitchen and my flight attendant lunch box! I literally panic when I get down to two bottles in the pantry (I wish I came in half gallon bottles) Flavor without heat, and heat without flavor, two things that will ruin a hot sauce... Dancing Avacado Kitchen Ghost Pepper sauce has mastered the delicate balance of heat and flavor with this dastardly hot pepper! Yes, there's a kick, and yes, your lips will tingle... However it's not the Run For Milk nonsense so many think hot sauce aficionados want. Packed with flavor, wonderful (and tolerable) burn, and homemade! I absolutist love this product and can't wait to get to Mom's to try the actual food! read more

We stopped here for lunch as we were about to head back to Orlando, and I was very impressed by the veggie "sun burger." I would have to say that this place is perhaps not the best if you have a picky eater with you, like my girlfriend, a new vegetarian who doesn't like avocados, sprouts, or a number of other things. She couldn't find anything on the menu that she knew she liked, and wound up trying something new that she didn't care for. I, on the other hand, loved my burger (which I ordered with avocado and swiss) and the delicious specialty lemonade I ordered. If I had any complaints, I would have to say the food can be a little bit pricey, especially when you add things on to the burgers. But it was fresh and tasty, so I was happy to spend a little bit more than I normally would. Our server seemed to be responsible for most of the tables in the place, but she was still attentive, helpful, and super friendly. Definitely a cool and interesting spot that I would love to try again. read more

I love this place...food, atmosphere, service and the owners! Can't wait to go back. The best restaurant on Beach Street.

If I could give this place five stars 1000 times over I would. I love a place that just has really good home cooked food and this was definitely one of those places. I also love when people have tofu on their menu for a scramble considering I don't enjoy eating egg. But I still love breakfast food. Their avocado appetizer also was to die for and you definitely shouldn't pass it up. read more

Unique & tasty. A slice of different in Daytona. Arriving here during the off season for tourism (9/29/2018), it was easy to find free 2hr street parking and a table right away. The front building facade is colorful and inviting. The interior has a warm feel and cool vibe loaded with memorabilia, photos, articles, accolades and more. Loved the rubber duckies for sale! While ordering the owner approached the table and stated that all food, except the chicken nuggets, are made in house. They even have custom fruit drinks available like lemon-cranberry and smoothies too. Stared with the Yin Yang Plate which is a hummus and baba appetizer that comes with fresh, hot pita bread wedges. Delicious! I then had the Turkey Pecan Salad Wrap that comes with lettuce, carrots, tomato and live sprouted Lentils. Excellent wrap! It includes a choice of one "Fabby Side" dish... I chose the cucumber side which was outstanding. The waitress was very pleasant and helpful, and the food came out relatively fast. While table service is par for the course, you must pay at the cash register when you are done. A nice lunch and nice overall experience. I would return. Free wifi too. read more

I don't usually do this but the burger I got here was so burnt on the outside it tasted awful. Maybe I just got the wrong thing. Service was good and it looks like a family spot. read more

Dancing Avocado Kitchen - Kale salad - Mexican Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

The place was unique and great option if you're vegan/vegetarian! We aren't, so the burger we ordered was over cooked. The potatoes were great! The green juice was delicious, but it was all slightly overpriced. I did notice it's a great local spot bc it was very busy and location is fantastic. Also, the scrub was buttery and one of the best scrubs I've used! read more

Great little spot that's vegan & vegetarian friendly. I got the Earth Burger with tots. It was super good! My hubby even liked it and he can get picky with vegetarian foods since he loves meat so much! The earth burger seemed homemade. It was loaded with identifiable veggies. It's not an firm Gardein type burger, it's kinda soft. So if textures are important to you just note that's what to expect. It's super flavorful and tasty! There are no fries since tater tots are the standard side item. Every order of tots comes with "Dancer Dust" which is made of sea salt, black and white sesame seeds, raw turbanando sugar, guard black pepper, cayenne pepper, celery seed, granulated garlic, & herbs and seasoning. I didn't end up getting a drink there. I went to WAWA down the street since they only have Diet Coke for diet drinks that I saw. I took a picture of their drink selection - no fountain drinks here. I paid $20 for my tasty veggie burger with tots no drink. Wow. That's pricey! (See copy of my receipt). Overall, I would suggest this spot if you have a little extra cash to spend on a meal when you're in Daytona or just visiting. It's a cute atmosphere and a local unique spot! At $20 a person it's a bit pricy but delicious! Enjoy! read more

I hadnt been here in years but..five stars for cleanliness,freshness of food, great service, good vibe!! I had the Veggie "chicken" wrap, Sis had "da Street meat" wrap,like gyro,but the meat was better, thicker,super fat wrap,she had the cuke salad as her "fabby" side.. I had the fake chicken wrap.."chicken" was perfectly done,light crust,blazin hot (not spicy.hot, served hott) ,wrapped, overstuffed with cool fresh veggies, my side was the taters,nice sized chunks of fried potatoes,skin on,not a bit greasy..we shared our sides ,raved about our choices, and kicked outselves for not ordering the fried avacado app..even the water was good lol (we critique water,..alot..,musty,metal,old lemon,chlorine etc) I was happy to have a nice Hofbrau (or 2,im always happy when a limited "import beer" list has more then just Heineken) in my experience,its hard to find a place with a nice mix of vegan/veg food and a "normal" (as my husband calls it) menu where both are done really well....I do miss the old "Mediterranean trio"plate that was hummus,babaganoush,and tabouli served with fresh tri colored tort chips..bring that back !!!!! Sis missed the "free massages" they used to have at lunch time.bring that back too !! Well done Dak!!!!!! read more

I've been here once and the food tasted great and was super fresh! I got the Rueben with fresh strawberries on the side. I can't give it a 5 though because this place has terrible hours of operation. I would love to come here more but it's closed like 3/4 the time I walk by. It always has its music on outside though so you get confused whether its open or not. Go for lunch though and you won't be disappointed! They are also pretty fast too! read more

My husband and I are traveling from CT and we couldn't resist stopping in while driving along Beach St. The decor and foliage outside was very inviting. We went once and came back the next day. We had the kale salad with 3 eggs, tofu scramble, avocado toast and chicken dancer. Highly recommend all these plates. They make their own seasoning and sprinkle it their potatoes which they also sell so we had to buy it! A wonderful place to visit including great customer service ! read more

Awesome hidden gem, not JUST for vegetarians/vegans. Came here while shooting a commercial in the area with my team and we were treated SO well. The server was kind and helped us get in and out fast! We sampled the desserts which are to die for so make sure you save room. Can't wait to come back the next time I'm in the area, I seriously can't save enough about this place. read more

Started with a juice and a coffee, both amazing and then order the hangover burger, not because I was hung over but because the description was breath taking. Burger was juicy and delicious. The biggest issue I had with this place was service. I received a weird look when I walked in. I didn't know I had to seat myself and received a sarcastic tone. There are no signs saying seat yourself. Then toward the end I asked for a check to be ready to pay as soon as I was done. Our server tried to take my food from me while I had a fork in my hand and food in my mouth. I would think it was obvious I was still eating. Food great, service mediocre at best. read more

2019 Review 65/100 This place is unique, eclectic, and really fun! Don't let the "health food" or "vegan" persona turn you away. I love that they have a substantial menu for vegans/vegetarians and carnivores alike. And, I mean, they're all about avocados. Which is awesome. I convinced my family to come here when we were in Daytona Beach on vacation. They were hesitant (I'm the healthy eater) but once we got there, they loved it and we ended up dining at DAK for lunch several times during our stay. Great wraps and sandwiches. My favorite lunch spot in Daytona Beach. I wish there was one closer to Orlando so I could go more often. But I'll stop in every time I'm in the area. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this little spot, and our food was delicious. I had the smoked chicken club and he had the earth burger which both were delicious. The only issue I had was I asked for no tomatoes on my sandwich and of course there were tomatoes on it, thankfully I'm not allergic so I just took them off and I was satisfied! I also had their strawberry lemonade and it was a very refreshing drink, they make all of their drinks here so it wasn't too sweet, it was just right! I will definitely come back!! read more

Great Service! Hubby and I walked in about 15 minutes before closing- and they offered to let us stay and eat in- we did. Great space easy to social distance in and outside seating~ We both ordered cheesecakes wraps: one veg one beef. Tater Tots were yummy- they are more like roasted potatoes which I like more. SO GOOD!! We put their Georgia Peach hot sauce on top- RECOMMEND this place and that Hot sauce!!! read more

Dancing Avocado Kitchen - Egg n cheese scramble with spam and avocado - Mexican Near Me - Daytona Beach, Florida

Hands down our favorite of the restaurants offering vegan options, that we tried in Daytona! While they aren't exclusively vegan, they offer a nice variety of dishes, and they are all super yummy! For breakfast (8-11 am) DO NOT MISS the tofu scramble! It was AWESOME! For lunch, which we tried on our first visit, (11 am- 4pm) the avacado hummus veggie wrap was a delight, and the tie-dyed slaw was an amazing side dish! Also, my wife raved about the mushroom spinach quesadilla. (They do offer a few different vegan cheeses, so be sure you ask for them if you want cheese on it, and want to stay vegan). The service, both times we visited was also spot on, and the owner/manager is/was on hand and makes you feel welcome. The overall ambience is bohemian cool and eclectic, and sense of peaceful, poetic harmony. It's a great vibe with an large number of tropical plants at the entry, and a calming waterfall feature right at the door. Outside seating is available on two cozy patios flanking the entrance, and with the outdoor plants, gives it a calm and yet relaxing beachy feel. In addition to all the yummy food, if you're in a juice or smoothie mood, they also offer an array of freshly pressed juices and smoothies. Oh, and they make several varieties of hot sauces and salsas, so you will definitely want to try those (and probably take a bottle or two home with you). And, while they are acutely aware of vegan and vegetarian needs, they also serve dishes with animal products in them, making them a unique dining experience a group of people with various diets can meet at and enjoy. read more

Really good food, really cute atmosphere. Fried avocado was amazing!! I had a chicken curry wrap that was delightful (though slightly undersalted). I love how many vegan options there are. The central location by the river makes it a great place to sit outside and catch the breeze. read more

Where carnivores (me) and herbivores can eat together. This is a fun place to go to with visiting relatives and friends. The atmosphere is fun and whimsical. The food is OK but not the best in the area for the price. The difference is if you have a someone who is Vegan, Lacto Vegetarian, Ovo Vegetarian, Lacto-ovo vegetarian, Pollotarians, Pescetarian, Flexitarian, Glutten free or Paleo (yes these are all types of restrictions) They will LOVE this place. read more

I'm going to have to give the Dancing Avocado one less star this time around. Although our food came out extremely quick, it wasn't as hot as it could have been and wasn't cut and made easy to eat--my friend and I both ordered burritos. Mine was still very tasty but could have definitely been warmer. A few other notable items though that I hadn't seen before. Their prices are listed in fractions versus through decimals. For instance if your burger is $5.50 it is listed as 5 1/2. So their Arroz con Leche dessert is listed as 2 3/4 which I think is a neat change of pace. Also, if you bring your baby with you next time, fear not if you forget their diapers. Complimentary Pampers are located in the restroom. Good thinking on their part. read more

I've never had a bad experience at DAK. I grew up in Daytona and now live in New York City- and having turned into a bit of a food snob, it's nice to have a place at home I still enjoy... (Especially brunch!) Cheap prices, delicious food, vegan and vegetarian options, and a fun, eclectic vibe. My kind of place. This time I ordered an avocado egg breakfast sandwich with hummus and sprouts. It came paired with delicious potatoes and a nice slice of pineapple to top it off. My friend ordered the breakfast wrap/burrito. Both of us left full and happy, and only spent 16$ before tip. What a steal. Service is always great. My dad and stepmom had their post-beach-wedding reception here and the servers were unbelievable for a party as late as ours. Make a point to head down to the Dancing Avocado for sure! read more

Second time around was not as great. Tried something new and it did not work out. I knew I was not going to make it by the second bite and decided to send it back. It was some sort of burritto. Just unfortunate. I had no issues, however, with sending the place back and trading for a delicious salad instead. The salad plate was retuned empty. read more

I'm giving DAK an optimistic 4 stars. I love the idea of the restaurant, and their decor is fantastic! Lots of trinkets everywhere, lots of collectible items and many things you can take home. My boyfriend ate the Chicken Curry sandwich with potatoes, and it was super, super tasty. Light but very filling. I ate the avocado sandwich. The restaurant is called The Dancing Avocado Kitchen, so I figured this would be a signature item. It was just okay. I'd skip this sandwich and try something else. Each meal can come with one side and a surprise from the kitchen! A great idea, and not disappointing. I received a tomato cucumber salad and my boyfriend an Asian slaw. I would come back, but skip the avocado sandwich and try something else! read more

Dancing Avocado is a health-food, vegetarian, café just off the western side of the Halifax River (riverside that is, not beach-side) in Daytona Beach. They do have some non-vegetarian dishes, but their real emphasis is on vegetarian. I am not vegan or vegetarian myself but have enjoyed every meal I've ever had here and feel the quality and freshness of their food is superb. Their soups are especially good as are the sandwiches. While the restaurant is nothing fancy, it's a fun place and the staff are bright and friendly so it's a welcoming experience. Also, most of the food has a Tex-Mex/Southwestern influence, just so you'll know. Once again, it's on the western, river-side, of Daytona . . . not by the beach. I know it's on a street called "Beach Street", but it's not on the beach anyways. Don't go over to A1A and look for it, 'cause it's not there! read more

My boyfriend and I were passing through and used Google to find a vegetarian place and I decided on this one cos of the interior! I really only wanted to fill my stomach and usually breakfast is breakfast to me but when I took that first bite of my veggie burrito...... GIRL! Delicious! We ordered an egg and cheese burrito and then a veggie one and both came with huge potato chunks, a side of salsa and a slice of melon. These burritos were huge, too! My boyfriend eats like a small child and could barely finish 1/4 of it but I managed to eat all of mine (and even later in the day I had the other half of his after he ate another fourth). I wasn't crazy about the celery in the burrito because I'm not much of a celery fan but the crunch wasn't a usual breakfast texture I was expecting either. I still ate all of it though and next time I'd just get it without celery. We also ordered one of the green juices which was really good. You could really taste the lemon, which I loved. I felt supercharged after drinking it! The interior is really neat with lots of unique decor. There is indoor and outdoor seating avilable. Free parking is there if you're lucky enough to find a spot. Our waitress was really nice and everyone seemed to be in a great mood. Our waitress was very helpful in suggesting items on the menu all the way to the hot sauces. You can take home some honey or spices... even rubber ducks that they sell close to the register. The prices are not cheap though. We ended up spending over $20 for breakfast which is way more than I'm used to. Since we were on vacation we kind of felt like splurging. I just wish we could have tried lunch! read more

The Dancing Avocado was even better than expected! My family and I sat down in this adorable eclectic styled restaurant and was greeted by our waitress. She suggested different drinks, fresh juices, etc... Then we continued to ask about her favorites on the food. Her recommendations where outstanding! We started with an appetizer, potato puffs and then as entrees I had a Kale salad, my hubby had a flat bread and our children both had bean burgers. We finished with snicker doodle cookies and homemade macaroons. THANK YOU JESSE for your outstanding service and recommendations! Our vacation ends in a couple days... Wonder how many visits we can get in before then :) read more

Had to finally change my review of this place. I've brought family here several times and this past weekend brought 3 guests who were part of my team for the Making Strides against breast cancer fundraiser 5K walk. I am a one year survivor and literally came here after a year ago and the experience was night and day. Last year I felt special after finishing the 5k and had a wonderful breakfast. This year it took 1.5 hours to get our food. At around the 1 hour mark, I started feeling super sick and gave up and asked for a piece of toast. The waitress was short to the point of rudeness, no warmth (from the minute we first came in to when we left). When I asked for toast since the meal wasn't ready - asked our table who wanted a piece of toast and how many pieces we want. I understand restaurants get busy, but I was taken aback by the rudeness and ambivalence by our waitress. (btw toast came with every one of our ordered meals- we all ordered the tofu scramble- so I was not even asking for something extra). We debated leaving several times but I had walked as much as I could for the day and exhausted so we just waited it out. Finally received our food. 2 stars because I always enjoy the food regardless of the behavior of staff. We did ask for a status on our orders around the 30 min point and the hour point; not upset or raised voices or anger- just simply asking. I was told that due to so many customers, the kitchen was catching up and that's why it was taking so long. No apologies the entire visit. No accommodations (not expected nor necessary but would have changed our opinion on whether they care at all that we had a bad experience). I think the no apology part bothered me the most. A lot of grace can be given if you are understanding of your patrons point of view. I will not bring any other guests here in the future; I was embarrassed that I had suggested this place. read more
