Tiny, charming family run business along the highway between Tampa and Tallahassee. Lovely family…read moregreeted us and showed us tease, talked about their process, and helped us pick out our drinks. They bring their tea in from their family farm in Sri Lanka, which is really cool. I had the cinnamon chai tea, which was very good and my husband had a latte which we suspect was made from coffee, not espresso. That's OK; coffee is not really their main thing but if you are a tea person you will love this place. They also offer a full menu including homemade curries. There's an outdoor seating area for when weather permits. Recommend!

Small in looks, big in taste…read more Their hand blended chai is delicious. Their muffins big enough for 2 people. Truly this is a little gem of a shop, AND they offer tea parties!

I love this place it is unique ot looks like a house and it's a restaurant for breakfast and lunch…read more You seat in wooden dinning tables à lot of things made by hand and it is a beautiful cozy place We did not eat here.

first off, the food is fantastic. my favorite is the tomato pie paired with tomato basil soup…read more That combination alone keeps me coming back. Their teas are tasty, some are more to my taste than others. our favorite is the apricot. Each person gets a delicate china teacup and a ceramic pot full of tea, making drinking it a unique experience in this day of ceramic mugs or paper cups. Next, the atmosphere is cozy. Individual, unique tables paired with different chairs, so a guest wanting a hard chair can have one while another might like a more cushioned chair. Antique collars and purses hang from the ceiling. China teapots and cups decorate the shelves along the walls. Lace curtains hang in the windows. no canned music. Do you need a unique gift? There are various tissue holders - some shaped like birdhouses, others like a teapot for sale. or cushions, or soaps. As you wait for your food, wandering around or just looking around is a feast for the eyes. Hat racks full of hats and costumes adorn nooks and are for wearing to the afternoon teas. We have not done that yet, still enjoying the lunch visits. I would recommend making a reservation though. the tea room is not spacious, and we have seen walk ins turned away for lack of room. but for us, the highlight is the interaction with the owner. NOT for the snooty or stuffy customer. If you get offended when the owner jokes with you as he takes your order, PLEASE don't come here. Your attitude embarrasses us all. His demeanor is like that gruff old man who accepts that he has to repeat the specials, but who can't resist chiding you about it. All the staff is wonderful, but he stands out with his banter. For a lunch, or just tea and a scone, definitely try Sweeties.

We love Dixie Diner! They have the Best fried chicken around! Good selection of well seasoned…read morevegetables, wonderful variety of other meat choices (daily menu choices on FB). The waitresses are friendly and attentive. Casual atmosphere. The menu has other choices besides the daily buffet. Everything is made fresh . There's a breakfast buffet Saturday and Sunday that is great with lots of choices! Totally worth stopping from 5am til 9pm. (I think). We like to go about 5-6 pm before the crowds start and the chicken is the best and juiciest!! Oh and Fridays are seafood buffet!! Thank you Dixie Diner! Great job.

My parents retired to Bell, Fl which is about 30 minutes away from this joint…read more I go every time I come down to visit them. Usually at least twice. Once for breakfast and once for lunch or dinner. I've never had the seafood night, but it's been recommended multiple times in conversation and here in other reviews. It's a solid southern mom and pop buffet. No regrets Always delicious. Wait staff is always friendly.

I've only had a couple of items from the bakery, but both were simply outstanding!!…read more I've had the croissant drizzled w/ chocolate a couple of times. If that were the only item available, they'd have a customer for life in me. I love that i can taste all of the elements without any being out of balance. This is so rare in food these days, particularly in pastries 'n' such. I also had a chocolate muffin. Again, utterly delightful; abundant chocolate flavor and appropriately sweet without being gaudy. YUM!! Staff is so very nice and friendly. They find time for gentle yack with us visiting yankees. Wunnerful place! DO pay them a visit.

I cannot describe how fabulous this bakery truly is! We were out this morning fishing and decided…read moreto walk around when we then found a little bit of heaven , just WoW! Cedar Key island Bakery is a family owned bakery where most if not all of their recipes come from previous generations ! In the early 2000's they opened in Nashville and the bakery grew very big but the family wanted to travel the country. After some time they decided to settle in Cedar Key ! Everyone who walks in to the bakery will be greeted with smiles and kindness! On Thursday's it's key lime pie day and you must go early! As the day goes on the delicious baked goods can disappear fast. The fantastic chocolate cake I've heard is a secret recipe that's been in the family for many, many years I can only imagine. It is so moist and heavenly, not too sweet and just the right flavor, texture and richness we had to go back in and grab a second to take back home! There is even ice cream if you'd like to have some on top, just yum! I picked up a caramel apple donut that was out of this world stuffed to the brim with apples so fresh and incredible. I also got a peanut butter and jelly donut that most definitely had real peanut butter and it is outrageously delicious! The chocolate covered donut was simply divine. The chocolate on top is thick and tastes almost a bit like ganache. I will be getting these again and trying others when we come back as the Cedar Key Bakery is going to be our go to when visiting. I almost forgot about my maple bacon donut that I also really liked. I would probably add more bacon but maybe that's me because it still is another delicious option. Everything in this bakery is wonderful and I can promise that you will love it! The atmosphere itself is amazing, you just have to walk in and see. It almost feels like an old country store but instead you find wonderful fresh baked goods and ice cream ! What more can anyone ask for. We will be back shortly! 315 2nd Street, Cedar Key, FL, USA (352)325-3750 Info@ckibakery.com Hours: Opening hours Saturday 7:30AM-7PM Sunday Closed Monday Closed Tuesday Closed Wednesday 7:30AM-2PM Thursday 7:30AM-7PM Friday 7:30AM-7PM

This is an ice shop but it can easily double as an old-fashion candy bar and a Florida souvenir…read moreshop. Open the door and the smell of warming waffle cones was a pleasant welcome. They have multiple flavors to pick from; however, you can only sample 1 which was disappointing. I think maybe they can do a 1 sample free then 25 cents for another. I sampled the cotton candy m&ms ice cream which was a different blend. I settled on Blueberry cheesecake because it was safe. The service was normal in-and-out and attentive. After visiting the Springs this was a treat.

I texted Vickie, the owner, and received a quick response. My order was taken and delivery was scheduled. In the meantime, I was drooling over the pictures online but they just don't do this pie justice. When it was promptly delivered, I was given instructions to microwave it by the slice for just 10 seconds. This is just enough to melt the chocolate and caramel into a rich gooey deliciousness. Holy moley this was some good stuff! I am now a big fan.

I needed a cheesecake for a friend's birthday and they were the cheapest option for those that still had availability. I ordered for pickup and when i got there around lunch time on a Friday, there were a few people inside. It was at that moment I realized there was a deli inside. While this place is like down the street from where I live, I had never actually been inside. Since it was busy, there was a tiny wait but nothing crazy. I told the woman what I needed and she quickly packaged up the cake. The taste was great! Now I will say I'm not used to Italian cheesecake, meaning I'm not used to there not being a crust but that's okay. I enjoyed it but more importantly the birthday girl was satisfied and that's all that matters. I do plan to go back to try other desserts and the deli .
