Apelu Island Cafe is a Polynesian cafe with friendly service and unique drinks and pastries. It's…read moreclear that a lot of thought and effort went into the cute island decor. We enjoyed the flavor and creaminess of the mango matcha and toasted coconut latte. The only downside was the cup was half full of ice, even after we requested less ice. We appreciated the 5% military discount. As a suggestion, adding prices to the menu and labeling the pastries would make ordering easier.

Highly recommended.

The food was extremely disappointing. The drinks were decent, but the customer service left a lot…read moreto be desired. The cashier at the front counter was very dry, unengaging, and seemed completely uninterested in helping customers. When we asked for food recommendations and the differences between the bagel options, he offered little more than, "the sauce is different." At one point, he even stated, "I just make drinks," which was surprising given that this is not simply a coffee or drink shop. Customers should be able to expect at least basic knowledge of the menu or some effort to assist with questions. Unfortunately, the shakshuka was the worst I have ever had. Between the poor food and the lackluster service, we decided to leave and have breakfast elsewhere. Overall, it was a waste of both time and money, and I would not return

The vibe is unmatched! I tried the Iced You Go Girl Latte with a toasted marshmallow cold foam & my friend tried the Mango Peach smoothie, both were absolutely delicious! The You Go Girl has a blend of Biscoff & Caramel Pecan that pair together so well, nothing overpowering the other with a delicious Biscoff drizzle. I added the toasted marshmallow cold foam for a little razzle dazzle ~ the smoothie was SO fresh & sweet, nothing like your typical franchise smoothie shops! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was very sweet & gave us a backstory of Drip N' Sip! It holds such a deep meaning & is so heartwarming, you can feel the love in it the moment you walk in. I loved my experience here. The staff were excellent, kind, & patient. I really enjoyed my experience here & look forward to my next visit!

It comes in a tomato based sauce, which I am a big fan of and you don't see as often as the cream sauce. I had the Local Catch, which was tile and came with broccolini over polenta. It was delicious, however the portion was smaller than I expected given the price. Welp, that left me with more room for dessert. The dessert menu is almost as long as the food menu, so get ready to make some tough decisions. After much deliberation, we decided to go "lighter" and had the pineapple spoon cake and coconut cake. So good, and a great ending to the meal.

Happy to find a breakfast place that had vegan options, we loved the looks and menu here. One Gentleman was running the front of the house. He had to take orders, get drinks, etc. Hopefully someone was in the back cooking, lol. Food took awhile but was totally delicious. Five stars easily for quality, quantity and taste. Have to say that none of us were fans of the vessels used as plates though. Made for difficult eating, especially with the pancakes. Also, there's only one restroom which had zero toilet paper.

We also love the crab dip with pita triangles - YUM! You can almost make a meal just on that. I love sitting at the windows overlooking the sound because there's a big nest there -- fun to watch the birds. The service is usually pretty good here.... can be a bit on the slow side if they're really busy. There's a bar area, and also check out their apparel selection.

We started out with their delicious home made southern cornbread. Our seats were in a booth overlooking the beautiful osprey nest in the sound. The ospreys were also eating fish for dinner to which was pretty cool to see. The service was outstanding as well. For dinner we ordered shrimp and grits, blackened rockfish with whipped sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts and prime rib with baked potato and asparagus. As the final dinner of our trip I look forward to returning to the Lone Cedar Cafe. Thanks for a great meal.

The most recent time we ate here she went as far as to ask the surrounding tables if they want to move away from us very loudly. Right in front of us btw.

This is the only restaurant that has ever had a problem with him. On top of that our service was very poor, almost like the waitress was avoiding us. Very upsetting to see someone be so nasty towards us.
