Had the best experience here during my visit to Satelite Beach. We sat outside on their cute little…read morepatio. It was a hot May Day but they had a portable unit that blew cold air as well as ceiling fans so it was quite comfortable. Our server, Debra, greeted us with a smile and was a delight. She gave prompt service even going so far as to anticipate our needs before we even asked for things, like a to-go cup already half filled with soda so when we added our own, we got to leave with a full cup. The food was PHENOMINAL! My friend had the tomato basil quiche and I had the pepper jack chorizo Benedict--both on their specials of the day menu--and both were the best we've ever had. If you're in the area, I highly recommend this place. And if you see Gary or Larry (regulars there), tell them hi. Larry will be sure to tell you some good jokes.

Choosing between the Bananas Foster French Toast and the Bacon Sea Salt Caramel French Toast at…read moreBanana River Cafe is the kind of dilemma no breakfast should force on a person. The bananas foster version arrives caramelized to a glassy sheen, rum-kissed and tumbled with warm bananas over pillowy brioche -- the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. Its counterpart is savory-sweet alchemy: smoky bacon shattered into a pool of buttery caramel, finished with just enough sea salt to keep it from tipping into dessert territory. I ordered both. I regret nothing. And then there's the Biscuits & Sausage Gravy, plated alongside a side of grits so rich and properly seasoned that Dolly Parton herself would nod in approval -- this is Southern comfort food executed with real technique, not shortcuts. None of this is an accident. Owner and chef Emerson Krause trained at the Culinary Institute of America and staged at Manhattan's Michelin-starred Gramercy Tavern, where a job offer awaited him -- he turned it down to bring that fine-dining discipline home to Satellite Beach instead. You can taste that pedigree in every dish here, married to genuine Florida warmth. Banana River Cafe isn't just a breakfast spot. It's a masterclass in how good simple food can be when someone who trained under the best decides your neighborhood deserves it.

Banana River Cafe is proof that the smell of bacon can make you forgive almost anything…read more First, a fun fact: they're operated by a CIA graduate. No, not that CIA. The Culinary Institute of America. Our daughter actually graduated from their Baking & Pastry program in San Antonio, so we were already inclined to give the place a try. But I digress. The moment you walk in, the smell of bacon smacks you right in the face. In the best possible way. So. Dang. Good. We stopped in on a busy Sunday afternoon. The dining room was hopping. A few tables could have been bussed a little quicker, my chair needed a quick swipe-down before I sat, and there were a few chips hanging out on the floor. Normally I'd notice those things more, but then the bacon smell hit again and suddenly none of it seemed quite as important. I ordered two perfectly cooked over-medium eggs, sliced tomatoes (instead of potatoes), and a biscuit. I chose the biscuit over toast or an English muffin with absolutely no intention of eating it. My plan was to take it home for one of the kids. Then I took one bite. Friends, this was THE best biscuit I have ever eaten in my entire life. I don't throw around statements like that lightly. If you visit Banana River Cafe and order absolutely nothing else, order the biscuits. They deserve their own Yelp page. My husband got what I think was called the Power Bowl--a delicious-looking pile of rice, beans, carnitas, and all the ingredients that make a great burrito bowl. Our son absolutely housed his French toast. Our daughter ordered the Rosemary Chicken Salad Wrap with pasta salad. I sampled the chicken salad. It had a whisper of rosemary. A polite suggestion of rosemary. A rosemary cameo appearance. If you're going to call it Rosemary Chicken Salad, I'd personally vote for a little more rosemary. My daughter loved it, though. She also loved the pasta salad but wasn't a fan of the Parmesan sprinkled on top. If Parmesan must be involved, let's keep it to the kind that comes from a block and not the green plastic shaker. Just my two cents. The staff was friendly, service was great, and soda refills appeared before we even had to ask. I also loved the local artwork displayed throughout the restaurant. Every piece has a price tag, so if something catches your eye, you can literally take it home with you. Great food, great service, incredible biscuits, and enough bacon aroma to improve your mood instantly. We'll definitely be back.

The friendly, attentive service immediately made us feel welcome, and the food exceeded our expectations. The menu truly has something for everyone, from traditional bacon-and-egg breakfast lovers to those looking for a more gourmet touch with one of their specialty toasts. Do not miss the avocado toast. Served on homemade Italian bread, it takes an already delicious dish to another level. The freshness and flavor of the bread are what really push it over the edge. (I even had to ask where the bread was made!) Morning Glory offers the kind of warm, family-style service that makes you want to return. They should be proud not only of their exceptionally delicious food, but also of the outstanding customer service that accompanies it. A wonderful breakfast experience from start to finish, and definitely a place we will visit again!

The bowl was tasty but saddle the sweet potato were soft and mushy rather than crispy. With the soft tofu, plantain, tomato, and avocado it was a lost opportunity for texture to have them be crisp. My husband said of roasted potatoes was also soft and mushy so I think there is just a timing issues rushing the potatoes for the first guest of the day. I'd still order it again. - Knowing we would be in the middle of nowhere without a vegan option on our drive home, I ordered the Veggie sandwich with added tofu to pack for a lunch later. It was delicious but probably even better hot and fresh rather than chilled.
