Visiting from out of town so I wanted to try a local coffee place. The rating and the name sounded encouraging. Only one person working so the line to order was long. We asked for the egg sandwiches featured prominently on a sign at the entrance ... and they were not available. In fact, the bakery case was nearly empty. At 8:30 a.m. The woman behind the counter suggested two of their breakfast croissants. We asked to have them heated. After a, no kidding, 10 minute wait she let us know that she had broken the oven. So we asked for them cold because we needed to go. They were dreadful. Tossed mine. And in a wonderful display of irony, even their large screen television menu failed while we were in the room. I will say that the coffee was perfectly serviceable. Experiences like this are why people go to chains like Starbucks for coffee and breakfast. I would say I want my tip back, but I suspect she is so frazzled that she earned it and then some. Absolute disaster. I hope our experience was a one off.

She makes the best flourless chocolate almond cake, and the PB explosion bars are the BEST! My Chicago family look forward to visits down here after I got them hooked on her deserts as well. I highly recommend Beyond Decadence to anyone looking for high-quality deserts that taste amazing! It is also wonderful to support a local business in the Blo-No area. Maria's deserts truly live up to their name, they are Beyond Decadence!!

They also specialize in "dessert breaks" where treats are handmade and hand-delivered to be shared amongst office staff. Some options available include lemon bars (my personal favorite), red velvet, flourless chocolate almond cake (a gluten free option), peanut butter explosion bars, and other seasonal favorites such as the spiced pumpkin cakelettes! Everything offered is absolutely amazing and will keep you coming back for more! If you're looking for local, handmade baked goods, this is the place for you!

It was SO stale, dry and old. Both cake and icing were dry and stale. Even the container looked very old (see pic). This is normally our favorite place for cake but doubt we will ever pay for their cakes again. Expensive and STALE/DRY/OLD? They should be embarrassed they allowed that out the door. Guess they figured it was for delivery so who cares. Well the paying customer cares!!! Terrible quality for a pricey cake. Won't be recommending this place anymore.

I like how it feels like three places in one - there's an outdoor area, dining room and bar. It's also kid friendly - shoutout to our waitress for taking care of us and making sure the kids were taken care of. Would highly recommend for any occasion. And make sure to try all of their fun drink infusions!

We had a attentive waitress, a nice Sunday brunch menu. The food was plated nicely, hot foods came out hot, prices upscale, portion size fine. We ordered items such as lobster chowder, frittas, turkey sandwich, hamburger, Greek salad, shrimp cocktail and crab cake plate. My salad was the last item to come to the table whole others were eating their hot foods.. One diner did not like her hot turkey sandwich as the bread was very soggy, otherwise everyone basically was satisfied with their menu choices. Overall a nice dining experience.

I was just getting a cup to go, but it's an awesome place to stay for a while. The ambiance is perfect.

Only one person sitting inside downstairs, likely because it was so beautiful outside. My espresso was a bit bland and not too hot. I asked for double (twice) but was charged for and received a single. Lemon berry scone was a bit undersized, but this was acknowledged by the cashier and he gave me a small discount without asking. Just a really nice atmosphere, inside and out. As always the staff was extraordinarily friendly and helpful to all 7 patrons I encountered.

Everything came out hot and fresh, but it was all bland. My husband had the blackened chicken sandwich, and I ordered the Chicken Saltimbocca. The chicken was good quality, but I actually had to reach for the table salt, which I never do. To make matters worse, my portions were rather scant, especially for the price. On the plus side, my husband really liked his vodka lime ginger mule, and the fries were solid. My Arnold Palmer, however, was super weak and watered down. We also ordered a slice of Banana Fosters Cheesecake to go. The bill came to $85 with tip, which felt a bit steep considering the seasoning issues. What really ruined it, though, was the state of the facilities. The bathroom was putrid -- honestly, it was so bad it actually made me feel physically ill. If I were to eat here again, I'd definitely order something else and stay far away from the restroom.
