If my memory serves, there seem to be fewer options that Iron Daisy but there should be something for almost everyone here.

The menu is extensive, the people were nice, there were fun options for food and drink, and my only complaint is that they couldnt keep up with cleaning the tables with how busy it was. We split the breakfast burrito, and an everything bagel with truffle cream cheese. Maybe not thr best bagel choice for that specific cream cheese, but the cream cheese was so good! Im willing to come back and find the perfect bagel combo. The burrito was large and delicious. Add a cream cheese for some extra zing. Ambiance- it was a bit loud, since it was so busy, and they couldnt keep the place clean. That being said, we got our food to go, so these things didnt impact us much. Ill be back!

The Bagels & Co which just opened its Gaines Street location at Stadium Centre this past year…read more It is indeed a Philadelphia-born chain that has been expanding rapidly into Florida college towns. Even though it's a chain, they have that "brick and mortar" quality because they bake their Brooklyn-style bagels on-site daily. Why that Asiago was so good: * The Texture: They are known for that "light and airy" inside with a slight chew, which is hard to find in a lot of mass-produced bagels. * The "Schmear" Selection: They are famous for having over 25 varieties of cream cheese. While you went with the classic (and delicious) Scallion, they also do wild stuff like Cookie Monster, Black Truffle, and Birthday Cake. * The Experience: They actually let you "taste test" the cream cheeses like you're at an ice cream parlor, which is such a nice touch for a morning spot.

5 star hoagies/subs. This sandwich shop started in Philly and franchised down here to FL. If you…read moreare looking for an authentic hoagie or as some call it here in FL sub, Primo's is legit as legit comes. Don't come in and expect Jersey Mikes or Subway. Doesn't even fall in the same league! Can't go wrong with any Diablo hoagie, Cheese steak, Meatball with long hot pepper for starters. The custom hoagie I got was Cracked Pepper & Salami Diablo with Cooper Sharp Cheese. So many good options and yes make sure you get the Primo size so you can get a nice seeded hard roll, just like it's done in the original store. It's not a stale roll!!! Small shop so only two tables to sit in and eat. I think in the winter it had tables outside.

I managed to secure a nice table with not even a 25 minute wait thanks to a very courteous and professional manager (thank you, Steve!). At the table, everything was clean, shiny and the server was prompt despite a very busy morning. The crowd, obviously, seemed to be mostly college students and parents. I'm pretty sure during the week it's the Capitol Hill crowd. The food was tasty and really hit the spot. Coffees fresh brewed all around, of course. We started with the Breakfast Poutine for appetizer which was hearty and all enjoyed. For entrees, two Southern Benedict, the Waffle Flight, scrambled eggs and bacon. All the food was cooked to order, presented nicely and the taste exceeded expectations. Also, kudos to our Server, Jose. We'll likely visit again and enjoyed the meal. The ambience, flavors and service professionals were great. I should also mention parking in this area can be challenging so take that into consideration. Do make a reservation or arrive early!

We chose Hayward House to celebrate our son's graduation from Florida State University and made a…read more2:15 pm lunch reservation for 6 people because the ceremony was at 7 pm. We drove to Tallahassee that day, but unfortunately got caught in heavy traffic due to President Trump speaking in Sumter County near The Villages. As Soon as we realized we would not make our reservation, we called the restaurant to explain the unavoidable circumstances and asked if there was any way to move our reservation to another time that day. Initially, we were told no, so we canceled the reservation. Shortly afterwards, the restaurant called back and informed us we would be charged a cancellation fee of $ 150 - $ 25.00 per person. I completely understand having a cancellation policy, however, charging $ 25 per person for a lunch reservation during unavoidable traffic circumstances felt excessive and unreasonable, especially after we proactively called ahead. What was even more disappointing was the complete lack of flexibility or compassion during an important family milestone. I explained repeatedly that we were desperately trying not to miss our son's graduation celebration and were even worried about missing the ceremony itself because we were stuck in traffic. I asked about every possible alternative- a later dinner reservation, appetizers only, or even moving reservation to another day. Ever request was denied except for a 4 pm slot, which still was not realistic given the traffic situation. What upset me the most was not just the fee itself, but the unwillingness to work with us. A more customer focused approach could have been allowing the $ 150 to be applied toward a future visit. Because of this experience, my family will NEVER dine at Hayward House, and I would NOT recommend it to other FSU families celebrating special occasions.
