I didn't know what I was in for the sandwich took me to my happy place. The price is nothing compared to the quality ingredients. The service was wonderful. I opted for the chicken salad sandwich and that chicken was not canned.. it's in the taste. I'm definitely coming back for another sandwich and bringing friends along. This is definitely a gem to just stumble across. The place reminded me of the bodegas in New Jersey and New York. Definitely recommend to stop in and the best part? There were other customers and when the sweet lady recognized them by name I was all in. I'm coming back for sure

Betty Cakes Cafe, located inside the Your Hearts Desire gift shop in Ocala, is a charming bakery…read moreand café that pays homage to its founder, Miss Betty Williamson. The café offers a variety of lunch options, including quiche, soup, chicken salad, and deli sandwiches. My review, however, is based solely on Betty Cakes' cakes, as I've only stopped in for takeout desserts and haven't yet had the opportunity to sit down and enjoy lunch and cake at the café. Over the years, I've tried several of their specialty cake flavors, including Easter Dirt, Strawberry Shortcake, and Guava, as well as their Bundt cakes such as Sour Cream Pound, German Chocolate Rum, Hummingbird, and Pumpkin. Every one of them has been delicious. What I appreciate most is that these cakes don't just taste wonderful--they look special. Each slice appears to have been made with care and attention to detail. They're the kind of desserts that make you feel like you're treating yourself to something truly special, as if that slice of cake was made just for you. The cakes are consistently moist, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether it's a seasonal specialty cake or one of their Bundt cakes during the holidays, I've found myself returning again and again. In fact, I've made it a tradition to stop by for their specialty and holiday cakes throughout the year. There are plenty of places to buy dessert, but Betty Cakes creates cakes that are both tasty and memorable. The quality, presentation, and homemade touch keep me coming back. That's why I continue to be a loyal returning customer. If you're looking for a dessert that looks as good as it tastes, Betty Cakes Cafe is definitely worth a visit.

We stopped by Emma's Patisserie at the end of the night and there were SO many baked goods to…read morechoose from! The whole place reminded me of a European bakery with a more luxurious feel. Everything inside was white and there was plenty of seating. There was a line when we arrived but they moved through it pretty quickly. We ended up getting a raspberry cheesecake, a chocolate-filled doughnut, and a blueberry cream cheese danish. Everything was fantastic! Definitely a spot I'd recommend stopping by after dinner if you're craving something sweet. There were so many things I wanted to try, so I'll definitely be back!

Basically traveled to WEC solely to give this place a try…read more Pretty unassuming being in the hotel but was surprised at the variety and quality of the pastries. Specifically had the raspberry and chocolate croissants and was very happy with both. Raspberry croissant was super flaky with a nice cream and jelly inside. Little messy to eat, but delicious and not too sweet. The chocolate croissant was also very good and both pastries were large. Price for both was a little steep but given size, quality, and being at WEC it really wasn't bad. Coffee was also pretty good with the price surprisingly reasonable be given its location. Place was fairly busy but the line moved quickly so it wasn't an issue. If you're looking for a nice pastry and coffee I would definitely repeat if you're at or near WEC.

My wife and I have been to Angela's before, for lunch and to pick up yummy pastries. This time we…read morestopped by for breakfast after my wife's early morning dental cleaning appointment. When we walked in, the place was quite busy with diners with most looking like they were enjoying their Cuban breakfast sandwich. My wife and I opted to order the Breakfast Combo #1, which came with eggs, choice of protein, hash browns, Cuban toast and a small cafe con leche. My wife went with sausage and I opted for bacon...this was after the lady behind the counter dissuaded me from ordering combo #2 (guess she's not a fan of the tomato sauce). We also ordered a couple of guava and cheese turnovers for a snack later. Breakfast was OK. Wished the eggs were fluffier but they were fine. The buttery Cuban toast was good and so were the cafe con leche...wished the coffee size was bigger. The biggest disappointment was the bacon, if you can call it that. When I first saw the bacon, I thought it looked odd...and my suspicions were confirmed when I bit into and tasted it. The texture was off and it had no flavor. Perhaps it was turkey bacon or vegetarian bacon, either way I wasn't informed that the bacon would be some weird facsimile of bacon. Surprised the lady behind the counter didn't try to convince me to change my choice of meat. We'll probably go back for breakfast but will definitely avoid ordering that strange bacon. Breakfast for 2 with the turnovers and tip cost just under $30.

I believe it's a…read morefamily-owned restaurant and you can really tell by the way everyone treats their customers and each other. It honestly feels like you're visiting family especially our waitress. She was so kind and made us feel really comfortable right away! They have a little bit of everything such as breakfast, lunch and dinner, specialty coffees, a bar in the back, and even bakery items. You can either sit down and enjoy your meal or order quickly at the counter. We got our food really fast and enjoyed our coffees. My husband got two breakfast sandwiches and I got a bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was really soft and moist, which I loved! Definitely a cute local spot, and we'll be back next time we're in the area!

Today I decided to go on a small adventure and try a small coffee shop that I've heard a lot about…read more Mocha's is about 13 miles from me and I've heard a lot about their fresh sourdough and other baked goods including their wonderful hospitality. When I arrived I felt the country coffee shop vibes and this is an accurate description. When I went in I asked all the questions to find out more about their menu and fresh bakery products. They make fresh delicious homemade sourdough on their premises that comes in a few different flavors. I took two loaves home of the plain and it is absolutely delicious. It's better than any other that I've tasted from the area and let's just say I really truly know !!! It's chewy, fresh and real homemade sourdough that will have you looking for more and not forgetting Mocha's. I asked about their bagels. They do "not" make them and they said that these were New York bagels. Being from New York I'll tell you another fact these bagels taste like a Lender's bagel to me and my family. At $2.75 a bagel, $30 a dozen I'm very disappointed. I asked about their donuts and they don't make the donuts or apple fritters. I took two jelly donuts and 4 apple fritters. These are tasty, fresh and simply fabulous! They make fresh cookies, eclairs, cannolis, cakes and other delicious bakery items. I bought a few cannolis, eclairs, cookies and cakes. We tasted all of them and they are also amazing. It was such a pleasant atmosphere just watching people sitting and relaxing, talking and enjoying their meals, coffee, dessert and ice cream. Yes they have ice cream but no they don't make it here maybe I'll try it next time I visit. You can sit outside if you'd like there's a couple of tables in front or there is plenty of comfy chairs and no one rushing you inside this adorable restaurant! I have to add that the girl who helped me was extremely kind and carried my bags to my car and seemed to care very much about her customers. I would recommend stopping by and trying the sourdough bread, some donuts , cookies and pastries. Maybe we can meet and have a meal as this I'd like to really do! Oh let's not forget all the coffee, lattes, espresso, americano, cold brew, hot chocolate, chai tea, matcha, lemonade, ice tea and more! Mocha's has Mocha's after dark which is a hidden speak easy where people gather, have conversation, laugh maybe have a drink and on depending on the night there is trivia, karaoke and other events! This is a family owned business that started as a small farm-stand that says "we are more than a coffee shop; we're your community's Living Room" Good old country feeling's and really great customer service with some delightful goodies this adventure was worthwhile to me.

This is one of my favorite things to do in Ocala. The market is only open on Saturdays from 9am-2pm, rain or shine. Other events are held here all other dates and times. I cannot stand the heat so I appreciate that the market is under a covered pavilion. There are some vendors that set up outside the pavilion because there is not enough room. The parking is free as well, with plenty of options in the surrounding areas. You don't have to walk far either. The market is extensive enough that you could easily spend 2-3 hours there. There are several food trucks you can purchase food and drinks from. Sipping Grounds is my favorite! They offer snacks, as well as coffee drinks, beer, wine, and mimosas. There are a variety of vendors, with many being staples each time I have visited. I usually stop by and purchase from the same vendors. There are several vendors selling vegetables and fruits, a farmer who sells cheese he makes, a seafood vendor, a vendor who sells dips, spices, and seasonings, another vendor sells oils & vinegars, bakery items are sold by several vendors, and usually there are a couple of vendors specializing in doggie treats. You can also sample a lot of these items, which is awesome. Of course there are vendors who sell jewelry, artwork, decor, pottery, etc.
