After…read moreleaving the Cat Cafe next door, my friend and I noticed a car outside with smoke inside(I believe from a cigarette) I quickly alerted the owner of the Cat Cafe, and the woman from the Vero Beach Eagles Club responded rudely, accusing us of attempting to steal from the car. Despite our professional attitude, she acted dismissively and seemed unappreciative of the concern we were trying to express. The encounter left a negative impression. On a positive note, the Cat Cafe next door is outstanding, with professional staff who support shelters and provide homes for kittens. I highly recommend visiting them instead.

For an omelette it took them over 45 minutes to bring an omelette to my table which is not acceptable in any restaurant. When I got it it was just a massive pile of ingredients and very little egg. I asked for grilled onions and they stacked on a mound of chopped onions. I was sure hoping this place would've been better but it is not. Table service took forever and weren't that friendly either. I will never go back.

Was shopping yesterday at the Indian River Habitat and I must say all the staff looks unhappy, and…read morethe overall vibe of the store is not the same as only 6 months ago. It also caught my attention that walking into the store smelled like old used clothing just like goodwill, but what I think is that the GREED of the upper management has made this once unique place, is now just another sad thrift store. with unhappy employees and not much merchandise of anything worth looking at

This is such a nice place with very reasonable prices and often good special offers. The store is…read morewell organized, the volunteers very friendly and I usually find something to buy. They have a regular clothing section and a boutique clothing section with the fancier labels. All very reasonable though. There is also furniture, a craft and office section and house goods. Linens, luggage, shoes etc. Proceeds go to people who need help in the local community.

St. Vincent de Paul was founded in Paris France in 1833 by Frederic Ozanam, a college student who…read morecreated the organization to help people experiencing financial hardship. He came up with the idea for a charity in response to a fellow classmates question, what is your church doing for the poor? The group chose St. V\incent de Paul, patron saint of the poor for their name and under the guidance of Sister Rosalie Rendu, they increased the number of people they were able to help. Volunteers of the organization are called Vincentians. The charity spread from France to Europe. In 1845 they established in St. Louis, Missouri. The organization is now world wide in 150 countries with 750,000 members. Every year across the country the St. Vincent De Paul Society provides 1.4 billion in aid to more than 4 million people every year. Since 1958, the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Indian River County has served more than one million families and individuals living in Vero Beach. Proceeds from this thrift store have gone to help people in need of clothing and food, electricity and water, disaster recovery, and counseling, They visit nursing homes and hospitals and offer services and referrals as needed. The St. Vincent de Paul thrift stores are always a favorite of mine when I can find them. They have large inventories of inexpensively priced, like new items that include furniture, home goods, holiday decorations, clothing, accessories, books, medical equipment, small appliances, and sporting goods. This store has several rooms to explore with a boutique sections offering name brand clothing at a steep discount. There are a number of thrift stores in this area and with its good works, great customer service, large inventory, and inexpensive prices, St. Vincent de Paul is at the top of my list.

They will not allow parents to remain the representative payee. They will not allow parents to take their adult child to the doctor..they want to completely take over and push the parents away. They came off as very aggressive in my opinion. There is a woman who is middle management who appears benign but is nasty behind the mask, in my opinion. The manager of the group home, however, was very kind. Unfortunately, I had a bad vibe in general and walked away from placing my loved one there.

We came here while visiting the area and really enjoyed the learning center!…read more We only stayed for a few hours but there was definitely a lot more to see and do here. We got to see a lot of fish and native Florida wildlife! There were a lot of walking trails, kayak/canoe launches, and tons of information posted around about native Florida habitats! There was also a play area for kids as well. We spent a lot of the time in the aquarium room (and yes it's a room not a super huge space) since it was air conditioned and our daughter really enjoys seeing the fish. They have a touch tank that's open for a few hours throughout the day, but we noticed that if the tank isn't open, there was no staff in the space. The facilities seemed a bit older but overall well maintained. There were summer camps going on while we were there, and felt like they sort of overtook some of the spaces we were in from time to time. Not a super huge deal as we were able to go explore other parts but it did feel somewhat chaotic as a large group of 8 year olds ran into the area. You do have to pay admission, there is a pass available as well if you plan to visit more than once. Parking was not plentiful so be mindful when planing, to come early or during a more "off" time. Overall this was a neat place to go to if you enjoy learning about Florida wildlife and nature.

Stopped into the Environmental Learning Center on a whim after driving past it many times, and now…read moreI'm wondering why I waited so long. This place is one of those hidden little Treasure Coast gems that almost hides in plain sight. The boardwalk trails through the mangroves were peaceful, scenic, and surprisingly immersive. Every turn felt like a mini nature documentary. Within a short walk I spotted a ribbon snake cruising through the water, an orb-weaver spider that looked like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie, and plenty of birds and wildlife along the way. Bring a camera because you'll use it. Bonus points for the rare opportunity to admire a spider web without immediately walking face first into it. The grounds are well maintained, educational without feeling overly touristy, and just plain relaxing. There's a nice balance between nature preserve, learning experience, and quiet escape from the everyday rush. Also appreciated that you can spend 30 minutes here or easily lose a couple of hours wandering the trails and slowing your brain down a notch. We didn't try the kayak rental this time but made a mental note for the future. If you live in or visit Vero Beach and enjoy nature, photography, kayaking, wildlife, or just finding peaceful spots that don't involve crowds and traffic, this place is absolutely worth a stop.
