Amazing food! Great service. Adorable dining space. Highly recommend. I love the Bluebird Salad w/ grilled chicken and homemade poppy seed dressing. Can't get that anywhere else! Also, try the Meatloaf Sandwich or made-from-scratch soups - nothing like it!! read more

Such a cute spot. I ordered the Florentine Benedict & a latte and it was delicious! Very reasonably priced and such a cute eclectic vibe on the inside. The staff were so friendly and personable. I'll be back to grab a peanut butter cookie next time I'm in town! read more

Jelly Bird Cafe & Bakery - Florentine Benedict - Bakeries Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

Stopped in for breakfast and enjoyed our experience. We were sat immediately and our drinks arrived shortly after that. The menu had more options than I expected and the food arrived quickly and everything was correct. The burrito was a decent size and everything seemed fresh. The hashbrowns were on the crispy side, which I prefer! The toast was a little too crispy for me and I wish they rolled butter on them like traditional diners. The staff were very friendly and took great care of us. The dining room was very clean but tables are pretty close together, which can be uncomfortable with strangers. read more

Jelly Bird Cafe & Bakery - Breakfast burrito, hashbrowns, and a side of toast - Bakeries Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

Table for two- We ordered the jelly bird OG lunch sandwich and the jelly bird croissant breakfast sandwich with 1 pancake(small for $8!) and the menu states served with real maple syrup... The pancake came out raw and looking nothing like the photo in ad.. the syrup was the cheap corn syrup based not REAL like advertised. The croissant was so greasy it dripped, and I guess they only give you one egg that's all I got for $14 and they charged an extra $4 for their hash brown bake which came out as one measly scoop of grey mass.. yuck.. cold and no flavor. The lunch sandwich was cheapest deli Turkey and bacon for $15! The pasta salad dry probably not homemade. Overall disappointment: Low food quality Poor customer service Overpriced False advertising You will actually have a better breakfast cheaper at Wafflehouse. The ambiance is the only thing going for this Jelly bird joint but who goes to a restaurant just for the ambiance? No thanks, never again. read more

We were hoping to love it. But we were disappointed. The food was ok. Not good. The fruit was dried up. Not fresh. Homefries must have been frozen. For 15.00 for breakfast each, we won't go back. My husband didn't eat the fruit or homefries. We cook much better. read more

Jelly Café was a wonderful experience. The café is very bright and clean and comfortable. It is not too loud. The food is made from scratch with love and everything was delicious. I had the lemon ricotta pancakes with maple syrup and an oat milk latte. My husband had the signature jelly bird sandwich with pasta salad, and a tea. We split a homemade cinnamon roll, which was gooey and sweet and warm and all things delicious. We will definitely be back and would recommend jelly bird Café to anybody. The service was very fast and friendly. Well done! read more

Really enjoy the food at Jelly Bird. Service was spot on with prompt order taking and consistently checking in with us. You can tell the food is scratch made. The only con from my parents were the seats were too hard to sit on and was hard in their backs. read more

First time here. Nice place. Not huge but they pack them in. They were busy but the wait wasn't long at all (10:30 is Sat AM). The wait staff was great. The food was good. Menu had a good selection to choose from. Those desserts though......take one home. read more

We ere not impressed whatsoever. It was a $46.00 Breakfast, two gravy bowls, a single pancake and two cups of coffee. The gravy is not a southern style, the potatoes so-so and the pancake was negative 5! Coffee was also so - so. I would not drive across town again to visit them. read more

Very tasty breakfast, cute little spot. Enjoyed the omelet and my wife had the lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry compote. Very nice. read more

It's a small space but was quite busy when we stopped in for lunch. Very comfortable setting for lunch with sort of "farmy" atmosphere. We each ordered a glass of wine, which was reasonably priced @ $7- $8. My friend ordered the 1/2 bowl of soup & 1/2 sandwich. She said the Lentil soup was very tasty. Her 1/2 sandwich, IN MY OPINION, was lacking the meat. Very few slices. I ordered the a salad that was loaded with blueberries, grapes & tomato's, sliced oranges & cucumbers mixed with greens. I ordered the strawberry dressing. It was delicious, plated well but, in my opinion, the price @ $15.00 was a bit high. Over all, nice place but just ok !! read more

Was just telling my husband that Jelly Bird is what I would conjure up as the perfect neighborhood cafe. Food - always fantastic, menu is diverse, desserts are homemade and to die for. Service - quick, attentive, all smiles. Decor - charming to say the least, love the amazing collection of cute salt and pepper shakers and mismatched china. My favorite restaurant in the entire town. read more

Very disappointed. The coffee was terrible and the biscuits and gravy were honestly some of the worst we've had. I truly do not understand how this place was voted best breakfast in Charlotte County for 2025. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. We will never be back. read more

I am visiting Punta Gorda Florida. I can across this very cute breakfast place. The service was good. He was friendly and attentive. I got the breakfast bacon & ham bowl with a biscuit. Food was fresh. My iced latte didn't really taste like vanilla. Other than that great spot! read more

If you live or expect honesty, principal treatment, and quality bartering don't eat here. Let's just skip to the check. Waitress asked us if it was our first time dining which we said yes. She has a 2-minute monologue that omits that your check will not be itemized nor totaled (just a generic ticket).Hmmm? So as we walked out our breakfast for two total $50. They include the tip in your check so, not knowing, we tipped twice so 60 bucks for breakfast. Not having an itemized bill we couldn't see that we had been charged for an extra stuff i.e. a drink. Our conversation about the restaurant, while driving away looking at the reciept, had us shaking our heads as well as laughing. This place trying to squeeze every cent or buck out of their customers even charge you for CONDIMENTS (lol). Male wait staff look as grimy as their shoes. The home made biscuit... forget about it! Our female waitress was clean, polite, and courteous... This was just our experience and negative Nancy will have hers... Just pay attention to wiping hands no aprons, who touches cash/cards, hand placement of cups and plates, and how a manager/owner responds to your feedback. read more

Staff friendliness is epic. This has got to be PGIs best kept secret. Breakfast is amazing and you can have it for lunch as well. I have eaten here many times and I have never had a bad experience. The French toast is my favorite, crunchy and cinnamon sugar plus custard dip before frying - Oooh. Perfect. The sandwiches and salads are also just too good. It's a tiny place overflowing with charm. And so clean! I love it here. read more

This is a local gem! The service was very efficient and friendly. They have homemade baked goods at the counter. The salad dressings are all made in-house. I had the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon. Everything was impressive. It does fill up quickly but gets food out fast. read more

The food was delicious. The oatmeal/old fashioned oats that I ordered came with two toppings - I picked apple and pecans. We had strong coffee, hot chocolate in cute cups while we admired the cute salt and pepper shakers. We were the first ones in so we got our order very fast. My son attacked his brioche French toast his extra fruit cup and his parfait. My husband loved his slightly spicy jalapeño and onion and pepper omelette. My baby loved his super fluffy pancake. Since everything came fast our kids did not get restless and accidentally break things. They did not scream and cry. They did not "go boneless" from boredom. It was pure happiness and we left happy and full. Thank you! read more

The highlight of this restaurant is the service & its cleanliness. Food is subpar. Fruits were lacking flavor. read more

Jelly Bird Cafe & Bakery - Avocado roasted and scrambled eggs with slice of toast - Bakeries Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

This place doesn't belong in a strip mall, it's to adorable! The decor is well done, really cute inside. I especially loved that every table had its own, unique set of salt and pepper shakers (we had chickens, table next to use had flip flops)....its the little things. Onto the food - delicious! All of it. I had the jelly bird (minus the meat), my husband and daughter had it with meat and my son in law had the Ruben. They were all so good! Excellent, fresh bread, with a perfect amount of veggies and meat inside. Their chips are homemade and came in these adorable little brown paper bags, super cute presentation! The service was great, I think he was the owner, but very friendly and clearly cared about the place. Don't be fooled by the setting, this is a great spot! read more

I love this little restaurant! The decor is cute, old-fashioned, and reminds me of "grandma's kitchen table." Service is prompt. The menu is excellent! And the portion size is perfect. We've gone a couple of times and are looking forward to going back again next year when we're in town. read more

Charming little place with "real food" and great ambiance! Friendly and attentive service. Lemon Ricotta pancakes were light and flavorful. Companion had buttermilk pancakes, quiche. Delicious and high quality, healthy ingredients. Many choices, including gluten free options. Can't wait to return and try a salad and soup. Great value/pricing. (Plenty of free nearby parking in lot.) read more

Nice place good service. The whole service staff was very friendly. The alway checked to make we were ok.

The food is good, thought they take a lot of good things and put stuff on them that makes it unappealing. It is busy there, so it is good to go at around 1030 AM. The vibe is a little bit too modern, but that is a personal preference. It kind of makes me feel like that 2019 meme where a person prefers a very specific coffee. read more

Food pancakes the best around,steak burrito was good but I had better,potatoes casserole okay. Would I go back ,if I was I the mood for pancakes Service was very good, Ambiance okay. read more

Great atmosphere and delicious food Loved the lemon ricotta pancakes !!!!!! Service was excellent

Food was average. My problem was the seating situation. An elderly couple wanted to sit away from a baby and loud toddler and the hostess said no we have a seating arrangement. I saw this happen to my party and 3 others. A baby in a high chair was sat literally 1 foot from my table because the servers can't walk 2 extra steps to accommodate their customers at another table. Huge turnoff. Stick with Elena's. read more

Great experience. Everything looked freshly made. Loved the cheese steak burrito. Cinnamon role was tasty. Gage the server was awesome. It was packed around lunch time. Coffee was good. Cute vibe. read more

We live just down the road from this delightful new gem and decided to stop in for breakfast before picking up yard debris Milton left behind. I don't know what I expected, but I do know what I found! The space is decorated with handmade wooden tables made by the owner( really nice ones I might add) and is just done well. A true family affair here and it shows. Our waiter ( the son) was engaging and personable. Dad was in the back giving direction as needed and mom was in the kitchen. You would have thought we were over at Aunt Betty's house for breakfast. The menu has something for everyone and my husband declared it was one of the best pancakes he has ever eaten. While I'm happy for him, I won this one! Get the breakfast bowl with hash brown casserole with fried eggs( 2, over medium is my preference) with bacon and ham!!!!! So dang tasty. The casserole was moist and flavorful, not dried out like most places serve. Biscuit was light and fluffy. You really did feel like you were at home. Punta Gorda, do give it a try. Now let me go look at the lunch menu! read more
