I've been here many times before and have always left happy. This place is great for family breakfast, champagne brunch, or hangover relief. The food is top notch. Only downside is the portion sizes are small. I'm guessing to keep prices down they've decreased portion sizes. That's ok. This place is worth the trip. You'll love it. read more

Severely over priced and very mediocre breakfast food. Small portions and a large bill! As a local, we won't be returning. Why was a cup of OJ the same amount as a the large pancake? Our server was very sweet though. read more

First time visiting Pensacola and we heard this place is good. We got seated pretty quickly considering the amount of people that were waiting (we are also a party of two). I got the seafood omelette which came with shrimp, fish and crab meat. I was about to get the triple meat one but I have ZERO regrets getting the seafood one, I figured when else would I eat a seafood omelette and it was honestly delicious. The orange sauce that they drizzled on top was packed with flavor. There was a beautiful cheese pull with every single bite, down to the last one. The omelette itself was so filling, I didn't even need the potatoes or toast. Our server was also great-very attentive and got us everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place for brunch if you are looking for something to eat earlier in the day. read more

Enjoyed the Crab Cakes Benedict with breakfast potatoes & an extra side of grits. The hollandaise sauce was phenomenal, & the potatoes were seasoned perfectly & just crispy enough. Service was quick & friendly despite the restaurant being quite busy. read more

This is clearly a place popular with locals and visitors alike. We waited 40 minutes on Memorial Day and were rewarded with delicious, satisfying food. My friend had a pancake as a side and it was huge! I had the egg sandwich and added a side of sausage gravy which was perfectly made and for dipping chunks of my biscuit and hash brown potatoes in. Service was efficient. I will return! read more

We sat at the bar and the service was great. We were in from out of town and our bartender gave us some great sugessions of places to go and to eat at. I got the fish tacos and my girl got the classic benny. Both were delicious and good portions. I got an espresso martini no sugar add burbom cream amd it was fantastic. Their menu serves both breakfast and lunch all day. They also have local art for sale. They make their own hot sauce, and you know that makes me happy! Next time we are i. town this will be our breakfast joint! read more

I love their southeastern omelet. It last plenty of chunks of steak while not being over whelmed by the green pepper. Their salsa (store bought not fresh made) added to the flavor. One of my favorite meals here. I'm thinking about buying one of the paintings on their wall. I've been waiting it for a few months. Lots of great art and some mediocre art is hanging on their walls. read more

A lot of people recommended this place. Environment was great. Staff was super friendly but busy but service was spoty. I had the Huevos Nativos and they were not great, I don't recommend them. Also tried the pancakes and they were average. Best part was a great conversation with a local who we sat next to at the bar. He ate there regularly and loved it. I wanted to love it but would not race back. read more

Heard about this brunch place from a local. It is unassuming on the outside, but very beachy on the inside with local art . Good breakfast at a decent price. Our waitress was great, and the service was fast. You can also order a latte/espresso drink with your breakfast. read more

Excellent breakfast at the Native Cafe! The cheese grits were terrific - perfect texture and flavor! Bloody Mary was very good!

Stopped in during the busy Island Blue Angels week. Pretty busy, but seated quickly. Wasn't that hungry, but wanted coffee. My friend and I both ordered plain coffee, she ordered cinnamon raisin toast and I ordered regular toast + hash browns. In all my years, I don't think I've ever been served a single slice of toast bread when toast was ordered, hash browns were a bit skimpy. It seems they are cutting corners to save money.... But on toast & hash browns? Cheap stuff... except it wasn't cheap $25 with tip. read more

Everyone enjoyed the vibe in this place. So eclectic and artsy. Staff totally awesome. Very clean and well run! Didn't like the biscuits and gravy BUT I tried some of what the kiddos ordered & I'll definitely get the p-cakes or French toast next time! read more

The ambiance super cute, not noisy at all and love what's for sale!! Can't wait to return when we're in Pensacola!! read more

This place has great food and exemplary service. We had the eggs Benedict and a breakfast plate with all the things. Only issue was cold grits, but everything else was delicious. And our server corrected the grits issue with piping hot grits. Very much enjoyed gazing at the art work. Always a very pleasant experience. read more

I had the caramel latte with oat milk and crab cakes Benedict with cheese grits. Absolutely amazing!!!!! Service was great, latte was perfection and the Benedict was delicious! The English muffin was toasted to perfection (normally I do not eat the bread)! It was a happy plate! read more

This place was a shot in the dark, not being from the area, but this place was incredible. The omelette and pancakes were fantastic and they also have amazing drinks! I enjoyed the small, family friendly environment and the service was fast and friendly. read more

Got lucky and arrived early enough on a Sunday morning, that we were immediately seated (party of 2) Winning!! Cute little place with a great beachy vibe! The Crab cake Benedict was superb- it had an incredible Hollandaise sauce! The spicy Bloody Mary was the perfect compliment. Excellent service from all of the staff- we can't wait to go back! read more

Customer service was great but I am pregnant and all I wanted was chocolate chip pancakes. It was $17 for two regular sized pancakes (no sides) with a couple small chocolate chips on top and chocolate drizzle, no chocolate chips in the actual pancake. The best part of it was the whipped cream. It was really expensive for no reason. Not worth the price. Really busy in there so maybe I just got a bad item? I won't go back though. read more

Easily one of the most relaxed and pleasant dining experiences available on Pensacola Beach. The members of our party chose a mix of native cakes (pancakes) and stuffed French toast for their breakfasts. Everyone with the French toast came away extremely impressed by the combination of flavors, though the universal opinion was that the dish would be perfect with a greater density of egg soaked into the toast. Other diners said the pancakes were well cooked but too thick for their personal preferences. Still, even with these critical observations the whole group agreed that our food orders were above average in quality. Service was spot-on throughout our visit. read more

Service was great, Cold brew was tasty, eggs benedict was tasty. Pancakes were a little dry. French toast was good.

This is a fun and lively place that is a little bit touristy but of course it's Pensacola Beach / Gulf Breeze. I sat at the bar and the waitress (Mindy) was attentive and helpful. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the bright, hand painted pictures from the area on the wall while I ate my Mahi tacos which were felt and hit the spot for lunch. I finished that off with a cold brewed Spicy Mexican chocolate coffee and hung out a while. Thanks Native Cafe! read more

Love Love Love Native Cafe Cheeseburgers! Moi Cheeseburgers in Paradise! OuiOui! Native Cafe makes a great All American burger! Yum Yum YUM! :)' A neat little brekkie/lunch place out on the island that is only open till 2pm. They also make a great ice coffee ya! :)) We haven't tried their brekkie yet but it looks awesome & they do make excellent coffee here :)' The Cheeseburgers are our go to, they offer several types of cheese and come with a toasted bun and all the fixings. You can add bacon or grilled jalapeños. Moi has had the Cheeseburger three different ways and it's just fabulous every time. You get your choice of sides, we go with the fruit cup as it carries better to the beach! (French fries are available as a side) Cheeseburgers in Paradise! OuiOui. Winners Circle! Queen of Pirate'cola approved! Will return :)' read more

Food is very good and fresh. Service was good. We visited twice while we were in town and it was good both times. We will definitely be back. The only issue I had was that they sat us at a table that was 5 feet from the restroom doors. Constant flow of people going in and out of two restrooms right next to your table is not very appetizing. That's the only reason I did not give 5 stars. read more

The food was okay. There were 4 of us and half ate pancakes and then the other half ate fish tacos. I tried their Old Fashion and it was pretty awful. I drink Old Fashions often, this one was really not good. The servers were very friendly. The thing I disliked the most was being surprised with the 4.5% credit card fee and that honestly was what made the experience at this place walking away being the worst part. With high food prices and high taxes and then adding a 4.5% fee onto of that and then they expect me to tip? Wow! My bill ended up being $125 and if I'm going to spend that kind of money at a breakfast like place I should be amazed but I wasn't. I shouldn't be surprised with a fee like this and when I pulled out a debit card to avoid the fee I was told I would still have to pay the fee. I will not return to a place the operates like this. Transparency is key. read more

As a sucker for crab cakes, I ordered the Crab-cake Benedict. What a disappointment! They were over-fried, hard, doughy and without discernible slivers of crab meat. I also ordered a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad. Nothing to write home about except the dressing were extremely salty. They really should really take the crab cakes off the menu. I would be managing my egg-pectations with the regular Benedict without getting crabby! On the other hand, the staff were friendly and attentive. I'd give them 5 stars and crab cakes zero stars. read more

This is a must breakfast/brunch spot on the island. Wonderful deco, plenty of seating for small and large groups. If they don't have a table large enough, they'll make one. If you're coming alone or a party of two, they also have counter seats. The food is fantastic, from burgers to pancakes. Everything is delicious. Our table of five all had something different. The burger was huge, fresh and tasty. The Eggs Benedict was fabulous. The veggie omelette was loaded and wonderful. And then there's the shrimp and grits, goodness gracious it was amazing. Small parking lots, so walk if you can. They move you in pretty quickly. We only had a 15 minute wait. read more

Placed a to go order, even though I was told the wait time would be about 15 mins it took an hour. First time I was told it was almost ready, then they were boxing it up, then the waitress advised she couldn't yell at them anymore. If the wait is an hour, I'm ok with that answer and I could've made the decision to pass on ordering. However, food was warm and delicious when it came out but not exactly worth the wait. read more

The server was so patient & helpful! The food was speedy & delicious. Perfect portions. Chill vibe, great mimosa options & special coffee. Would return!!! read more

Arrived 10-12 minutes before set pick up time. Breakfast was ready. Drove directly across the street & food was ALL cold. "Hash browns" looked like they nuked them from prior day (shriveled up chunks). No syrup for ice cold pancake (went in the garbage), burritos needed to be nuked. Bacon was, well bacon. Understandable it was cold. What a waste of $40!!!! McD's FAR better. I think it gets high rating because tourists are being gracious. read more

Really quaint locmall brunch spot. I'd read really good things about it, and while the service was wonderful, the food just didn't live up to the hype. Two of my kids got the biscuits and gravy- one with a side of bacon and one with a side of home fries. The sausage gravy was very mild and needed salt, and the texture of the biscuits was way off. They were weirdly spongy, like drop biscuits maybe. Definitely not a good Southern biscuit. Another of my kids got the Mahi tacos, and they were amazing. Really wonderful cubed fish was lightly seasoned and absol delicious. I ordered the crab cakes Benedict. And they were terrible. The eggs were poached a little too done- the yolks were jammy. The crab cakes were oddly gelatinous with a uniform texture throughout. There was no distinct crab to be seen (or breadcrumbs or onions/celery/peppers)- it was just a completely homogeneous grey goo that smelled fishy. Stick to the Canadian bacon! read more

Even though our hotel offers free breakfast we enjoy trying local restaurants. Had breakfast sharing a veggie omelette with grits, native pancake, side of bacon. Coffee was good, Kimberly's service was superb, Omelette was filled with veggies as described along with a lot of cheese. Bacon was extra crispy. Pancake was more dense than I'd expect but tasted good. Food came hot and pretty quickly. Interesting decorations with local art for sale. read more

The food was ok. I'm not sure if I ordered the wrong thing but I've never had a breakfast biscuit sandwich with lettuce on it before. On the menu it said served with hash browns. I was served fried potato cubes, not hash browns and they did not taste good.They were under seasoned and cold. I thought it was crazy that coffee here is market price. I understand that a nice cold brew with syrups can cost much more than a cup of hot coffee but I appreciate transparency in pricing. We will not be back. Quite disappointed with the whole experience. read more

If you're in need of some sustenance and a clean, chill environment, this little cafe does the job. Place was decorated in fun art and beach colors with cute merchandise on a back wall. They Almost got me with their hat! For me, the food options were super basic and average to small portions. I was hungry and looking for more but it still hit the spot. Everything was tasty and cooked to order. They have a house made "cookie" that had dried nuts and fruits which was quite delicious! Coffee was hot, tasty and the mimosa was cold. Our server was awesome! Very friendly and gave us advice on other places to check out during our stay. read more

Had about a 30 min wait. Fast paced. Friendly staff. Got the classic egg benedict and the hungry native. Lots of food and good flavor. Pancakes were so fluffy and light. Texture of grits was weird. Good decaf coffee! They give you liquid creamer and they have a large shaker of sugar at the tables. Good average food breakfast spot. read more
