    Caprese

    Absolutely! Here's a glowing review that highlights Nutmeg's Café and the unique small-town charm of Okeechobee: --- "More Than Satisfied - A Local Gem in the Heart of Okeechobee!" If you're looking for something off the beaten path--where hospitality still means something and every corner feels like a warm hug from a simpler time--Nutmeg's Café in Okeechobee is your spot. This isn't just a café--it's a portal to everything that makes small-town Florida magical. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed not just by the friendly staff, but by the soulful atmosphere. Nutmeg's blends eclectic, almost storybook décor with a deep sense of community. Mismatched vintage chairs, shelves of quirky knick-knacks, and handwritten specials on chalkboards all add to the experience--it's like dining in your artsy cousin's sunroom who just happens to be an incredible chef. The food? Beyond expectations. Their gourmet paninis and homemade soups taste like someone's grandma went to culinary school and decided to open a café. The Ham and Pear panini is an unexpected masterpiece, and their cupcakes? Straight-up joy in frosting form. But what really sets Nutmeg's apart is the vibe. This is the kind of place where locals bring out-of-town guests to show off "the real Okeechobee." Conversations happen across tables. Regulars are greeted by name. You can sip a handcrafted iced coffee while watching downtown life go by--a sheriff tips his hat to a passing truck, a kid runs in to grab a cookie, someone drops off farm-fresh eggs at the back door. It's wholesome, it's weird, it's wonderful. If you're traveling through or looking for a reason to veer off the main highway, Nutmeg's Café is more than a meal--it's a love letter to small-town soul. You don't just leave full. You leave better. Hands down best caprese Panini I've ever eaten. Nutmeg's Cafe has a warm-hearted small town feel with a big time taste. Their cake balls taste better than they sound.

    Iced Salted Caramel Latte with Almond Milk
    KayAnna S.

    A cute cafe with a wonderful and friendly staff! Plenty of parking and a fun arrangement of mismatched chairs and tables for seating. The detail to the theme of the cafe did not go unnoticed. Bravo! We came in just to grab a quick coffee to go and they were very accommodating. We each ordered an iced salted caramel latte with almond milk. The almond milk was so good it out shone the coffee. We could honestly just drink the milk itself. Once mixed together the coffee was a little bitter and the salted caramel didn't change the flavor but the almond milk made all the difference. Definitely will come back to try some food as well. Looks yummy!

    Local owned cafe in Okeechobee with so much potential and beauty. Reminds me of sitting on the back porch with my mom drinking coffee and enjoying fresh breeze. My 2nd time coming for the weekend brunch menu, although Nutmegs offers a fabulous daily menu -my apologies I was unable to post- but I promise you almost everything on the menu is delicious and freshly made down to the coffee and many varieties of tea as well. The young lady who worked behind the counter was very pleasant and offered great customer service. Cafe smells yummy and the deco inside is very cute. Okeechobee is a small town but this is one of the best cafés to enjoy food or even a yummy dessert (cupcake's, shakes, macaroons, or cake balls)!

    Three Cheese panini

    first off, this place has a great and versatile menu if you like sandwiches! I've been loving this hometown cafe since I moved into town, plus, the service is always kind and welcoming!! I also personally LOVE the way it decorated inside and the mix match chairs! It gives the place such an authentic and small town feeling.

    Ham & pear panini. Melt in your mouth delicious!

    What a charming cafe with delicious food!!! This is, by far, the best lunch spot in Okeechobee. Located in town with lots of cute shops, across the street from the park, it is an adorable place with a lovely homey feel, wonderful hospitality, and delicious food! Everything on the menu looks and sounds amazing. Lots of healthy options in a town where that is quite rare. I've only tried two sandwiches here so far, but they were both amazing. I've tried my boyfriend's tuna panini which, as someone who doesn't usually like tuna, I loved! However, my go-to panini is the Ham and Pear. Sounds simple, but my goodness they have this recipe down SO good! It has the perfect mix of salty & sweet, served hot with beautifully melty cheese and bread with just the right amount of crunch. I find myself craving this sandwich every day. It is so good. Prices are reasonable. Place is charming. Food is delicious. This is an Okeechobee must-try!

    Stopped here after camping and we had a solid meal. Very friendly staff cute restaurant and clean bathrooms. I had a delicious salad and my husband had a shrimp wrap. I would go here again and again! Plenty of parking and some cute stores nearby.

    Came from out of town and found this cute cafe and was not disappointed. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. Place was clean and had lots of seating. And omg the food was so good. Probably the best Chicken Salad Sandwich I've ever had.

    Varied menu, but pricey for what you get. Lunch for two will easily cost $30+ for two. $9.00 for a grilled cheese sandwich? C'mon...

    This cafe is one of my favorites. Not only do they do pastries and coffee, but their soups and sandwiches are to drool about. Tasty.

    What a fun experience! I was driving the Martin County scenic route and got hungry. I was in the…read moremiddle of nowhere, so I turned to yelp to find something to eat nearby. Within 15 minutes. I was pulling into the Okeechobee livestock market restaurant. My head started spinning because I was the only car in the parking lot! They were just trucks and trailers and cattlemen. After reading Dave O's review, I dared myself to go in and had a blast watching the auction while my burger was being cooked. It was hard to eat the burger while hearing the hoofs of cows underneath and remembering the mooing when I pulled up. The burger was good and the service was great. The experience was off the charts. Next time I have to have one of those huge sweet teas everyone was drinking.

    Been here many times over my lifetime. I remember the first time when I was very young watching the…read moreactual auction going on. It's very different now..."updated". The food area is a lot smaller, but it's very clean and definitely do not smell the auction area right out the doors. The burgers are super thick and come with everything I couldn't finish mine. You have several things you can have as the side including fries, tater tots, sweet potato fries. Tea is great too! I will warn you what I do not see on other people's posts is it is CASH ONLY. My husband and I were in the car scrambling to see if we had enough before we came in. I had forgotten all about it. Both with a cheeseburger and the one side with waters was $27 and change. So make sure you bring cash. Other than that it's really good but not worth giving a lower rating.
