Local place, not a chain. Friendly staff. Dining inside and outside. A few of us had breakfast here and we all enjoyed it. My half order of biscuits and gravy was right for me and the consistency and flavors hit the spot. The coffee was very good, too Would definitely recommend read more

Just sat for 20 minutes waiting for someone to even just come give us water. No one ever came so we left. Waste of time for poor service.

Excellent breakfast and excellent excellent service! The coffee was delicious and so was the food! Rode our bikes here on a Saturday morning, they open at eight! We will come again and again! read more

Madison neds to improve her customer service!!!!!!She misunderstood us about the sparkling water, and she got so mad in front of us without reason. She supposed to bring us the bottle and opened in our eyes, not bring a glass. read more

Ok. I stopped by for a quick coffee. The good- atmosphere was cute and appropriate for a cup of coffee. Very cozy. That being said... I was underwhelmed with the coffee to be honest. The service was friendly however they messed up the order. I get it; it happens.... But it was one order and not busy so there isn't much else I can say there. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but if you're in the area and in need of caffeine, give it a go. read more

Service was disappointing and lacked professionalism. However, the Ambiance is cute and cozy; very enjoyable. The food was very mediocre and I was unimpressed. Will not be coming back unfortunately :/ read more

Stopped by for a quick beverage on 1/13/21. Chose to grab a table outside, place was a bit crowded. Sat down only to experience a wet butt... Apparently it had rained night before, staff neglected to wipe down the seats. Came back inside and reported the incident. Apparently it was the owner's young daughter- Her response: "Ahhhh..... oh sorry/hardly a sincere apology. Finally sat down inside, ordered an overpriced coffee....$6.48. Server came to table w coffee... walked away... had to get her attention... said "A napkin and spoon with sugar would be nice". Bottom line: I will never return again. Should be noted I'm living 1 mile from establishment, living here for 2 years. Owner should READ and RESPOND to all of the 1, 2 star reviews and fix the issues and make it right... And sit down with the staff and have a conversation. ..... otherwise this establishment will be short-lived u fortunately. read more

Great cafe with great staff! Whether it's Ty or Brooke or Alex serving us at the bar, we always receive great service. My favorite every time is the Popes BLT&E, the best! Keep up the great work. read more

Stopped in and had breakfast. Food was great. I had nanas breakfast with eggs and toast. Husband had a bowl with everything in it. Coffee was great. Staff was very attentive and nice. Will definitely come back! read more

SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!! My son brought me home a breakfast sandwich from there this week and it was amazing!! Next time, I'm hoping he'll bring me a latte too! It is nice to get things that are freshly made-- real, whole food. The word on the street is that, sometimes, if the timing is right, you can catch them acting as a Piano Bar too!! What fun!! read more

This was my first time at Louie's. I had the Reuben sandwich that was on special with pasta salad. My friend had the Rachel. Both were delicious! I originally ordered the coleslaw but I didn't care for it, so Brooke exchanged it out for me. Brooke was an excellent server. She made our experience a wonderful one! We will go back. read more

Cozy little place, good selection of food, staff is friendly and welcoming. Their food & coffee is quite overpriced for the size/quality you get - so keep that in mind before coming here. read more

Coffee here is fantastic in my opinion and food isn't bad. Unfortunately didn't get any of either today. Stopped in to eat and sat in Patio. Tables seemed dusty and needed wiped. Waited 15 minutes before I went and reminded them I still hadn't been attended to. 10 minutes later waitress came out to take order and I explained I didn't have time to eat and gave her my to go coffee order. Another 10 minutes passed and she finally came back with something completely different from what I ordered. Asked if I wanted to wait for another drink and I declined. Place was not busy, seemed as if they were fully staffed. Not sure what issue was but there is another coffee spot opening around the corner in Wellen Park in a few weeks that I will be sure to try and compare. Im happy to give you my business so please correct your customer service problems. read more

Good food and great customer service; we enjoy going there so we are frequent customers. Plenty of parking, bike racks, cooperates with the welcome center for WellenPark. read more

This place is my favorite local breakfast spot. Nothing fancy or over the top, which is perfect. They provide consistent, well presented, fresh breakfast and lunch. The staff provide a stellar and friendly service. The ambience is perfect for those looking for a local daily breakfast spot! Highly recommended! -To the gentleman that is apparently new to Florida... it is humid here and rains frequently... instead of having an entitled attitude and complaining at future restaurants, perhaps look at the outside furniture before taking a seat to ensure your pants don't get wet. read more

Loved our breakfast on Sunday. Perfectly cooked eggs for my husband, poached eggs were perfect as well. We will be back

10am on a Wednesday and they where out of everything bagels and cold brew coffee. Not acceptable. Vibe is cool but there should always be staple items available. read more

This place is amazing!!! I'm am so amazed on how good the food was, and how fast it came out!!! The drinks are also amazing I would definitely recommend their Bloody Mary!! They also just had a piano event that I attended a few days ago which was also a 10/10!! 100% recommend this place to everyone!! read more

Went there for breakfast pork roll was the size of a quarter and burnt $3.25 for a cup of coffee and a $1.75 for vanilla syrup so $8.25 for 2 cups of coffee is ridiculous. Our bill was $40 Inc tip for 2 , way overpriced . We won't be back there again. read more

I had a lovely breakfast at the Mercado Drive location and opted to sit outside as it was descent weather in the middle of September. Halfway through the meal something started biting my feet and when I looked down there were hundreds of ants on the ground and climbing into my shoes! Peace is over--I moved to a different table but the ants came out of their "nests" to attack me there also! Not a good situation! The outdoor patio looks lovely but needs attention to control the critters underfoot! read more

Having read about the opening of Louie's in Wellen Park, we decided to visit for Sat. a.m. breakfast. They offer a brunch menu on weekends. I had the Quiche Lorraine and my spouse Nana's breakfast. My wife enjoyed her meal with a very favorable comment on the flavor of the bacon. My Quiche Lorraine, however, was under-whelming. The portion size was small, but tasteful, and I mentioned the portion size to my server. The quiche was accompanied by fruit. I left the restaurant with an unfulfilled appetite and made another stop on the way home to supplement my visit to Louie's. The service was excellent, and we look forward to returning for a weekly breakfast or lunch. read more
