    Iced Frothy Coffee (coconut milk & SF caramel)
    Jessi M.

    We were heading back home after a night in town and wanted to stop for breakfast on the way home. We were dressed to somewhere else down the street then I saw the Tiki Cafe sign and checked out the Yelp. We made a quick u-turn after passing and stopped in. Unfortunately there was a quite a wait as it's a small place and tables are limited but we figured we'd get a coffee and be patient. Good choice that was. The friendly cashier suggested that we check out the surf shop next door while we waited to pass the time. She said it was locally owned which we thought was good. My husband got a few things in there then got the call our table was ready. We headed back over and were seated in one of the booths. Our food came out pretty quickly after we sat down and ordered, which was nice because we were pretty hungry. We both loved everything, and my husband couldn't stop raving out how much he liked his breakfast sandwich. After eating, I headed back over to the surf shop because my eyes were burning from the smoke in the restaurant, I'm not sure if something burned in the back or if they just need better vents but it didn't deter from how delicious the food was. Overall, we will definitely be back on our next weekend trip!

    And empty plate because it was so good.

    It was all so good! Try the rum cake! So buttery, not too boozy. The brekky bowl and the curry was wonderful.

    We had visited Mela years ago and loved it! We are in the Melbourne area and so wanted to try it out again and we think it is even better!! Tried the PB and banana waffle- WOW, Super yummy, and mt husband had the bltiki, delicious!! We will be back next time we are in the area!

    Pros: Ambiance was so cool. Outside was a dingy little strip mall, inside was a legit tiki bar with giant ocean murals all over the place. Very chill. Service was very nice. I think some of them were related to each other, so it was a friendly, family vibe. Food was very good! There were a lot of good items to choose from, and we had a couple of their awesome sounding sandwiches. Very quality stuff. Cons: No cons. A very good experience. Tips: If you like monte cristos, get the waffle cristo. Wow it was good. The ciabatta they use on their sandwiches is hearty, but not too tough. Don't be afraid of it. They have a habanero honey. Also don't be afraid of it. It's not too hot. It's delicious.

    This place made it pretty high on a nationwide restaurant list recently, so when it was an option for breakfast on the morning of the start of my vacation driving down to Key West, it was a no brainer, we had to come try it out. And thank goodness we did. Talk about a diamond in the rough. The place is in a boring looking strip mall, but step inside and you're transported to an island tiki bar. It's very cool in there. Surfer murals, ocean life on the TVs, and the giant tiki bar that holds the open kitchen. Very nice vibes. The service was also full of very nice vibes. Very friendly people who were quick to point me in the right direction on the menu. Coffee refills kept coming very timely. No issues. As for the food, wow, very unexpectedly good. I had the The Waffle Cristo (ham and provolone cheese in a waffle sandwich with habanero maple syrup, dusted in powdered sugar, served with roasted potatoes). So good. Waffles made a great sandwich bread. The ooey gooey cheese, the slightly salty ham, and spice from the habanero syrup, this just all came together into an amazing little dish. I also got to sample Mr. Billy's Sandwich (scrambled eggs, tiki bacon, roasted fresh pineapple, pepper jack cheese, on a Hawaiian ciabatta roll). Unfortunately, an even better sandwich. The ciabatta was sturdy, but not dry or tough. And the tiki bacon... One of the best things I've ever eaten. Candied, or spiced, or both, thick cut, it was easily the star of the show during my visit here. You just get the tiki bacon when you come here. Overall, I'm glad I identified this place. I was very happy with my experience here, and if I'm ever anywhere near this area again, I will be coming back.

    This place has a cool theme and the inside is unique. That being said it's very small and has limited seating, so more than likely you will be waiting. While we were eating, many people walked in, looked around and walked right back out the door. Because it's so small and there's not a lot of airflow, the smoke from the kitchen is like stagnant inside. The waffles, potatoes and bacon were good, have to go and try something else another time. The coffee tasted burned and therefore we did not finish it.

    Stumbled across this hole in the wall and so glad I did! It's a cute, small, cozy restaurant and the waitresses were very nice and gave good recommendations. The frothy coffee was TO DIE FOR. It was so good, I went back the next day for more!

    This sweet cafe has been on my check it out sometime list and I regret not coming here sooner! This beachside gem is a woman owned healthy spot with booths and a tiki structure to greet the customers adjacent to the kitchen. Definitely family friendly but we met a friend for lunch after deciding we all wanted whole, freshly made items. Due to several dietary restrictions I was very happy to find items I knew I wouldn't regret later. The owner was present working alongside the staff who kept everything going smoothly. Everyone loved their food and the prices were very reasonable. Highly, highly recommend this well run restaurant that is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Just check the times open as they do close for a couple of hours to transition from lunch to dinner for example.

    Nice little place perfect for breakfast. It has a couple high top table and some booths. It is a smaller place so don't expect large tables to fit a big group. Breakfast came out quick and delicious. The server was friendly and efficient. My husband got the vegan curry it was a bit pricey for what you get but it had good flavor. I got the 2 eggs your way. The egg whites scrambled were fluffy and perfectly cooked. I also got crispy bacon which came out perfect and potatoes with a crossiant toasted. It all went together well. I was very pleased with our dishes. I was a bit bummed the banana bread wasn't ready cause that is what I really wanted. Also no smoothies were available at this time either.

    We found this place place while being on the go and I'm glad we did. It definitely seems like a place where locals go. Our server Bridgette took care of us and was very fast pace. There is limited seating so it's possible you'll be waiting but won't be for long. It was a very tropical beach ambiance inside and even the music matched it. The food was tasty, my favorite thing were definitely the potato's. I would come again

    Wow!! This place is soooo good. I had an amazing coffee and breakfast sandwich. My server was wonderful and made the experience all the better. Can't wait to be back!

    Belgian Waffle with peanut butter and granola! Sooo good!

Taking the great advice of Yelp reviewers, we made the short drive to MISO Ramen and Poke Bar. The restaurant is located in a large complex, a few doors down from Publix. Inside, the decor is modern and casual. We were greeted and given our choice of open tables. Our server was kind and offered suggestions. I went with the veggie ramen and my daughter got the Poke. They brought out some fish chips while we waited for our meals. The ramen is ample and filled with fresh toppings. The broth was plant-based and hearty. A great ramen!
