The breakfast burrito was probably one the best I've had, and I've had plenty over the years.

The service was great as well. Two thumbs up!

They have an extensive drink menu, but my go-to is the coquito latte. It's a delicious mixture of evaporated milk, cinnamon, and espresso. The ambience invites you to sit and enjoy your coffee, even grab a book from their library and read for a while. The service is quick. Today I was given a sample of a future breakfast item, the oatmeal. It was creamy and had a great touch of cinnamon. If you are in need of a warm atmosphere and amazing coffee, please give Castro's Cafe a visit!

This was my first time visiting, and I immediately loved the cozy, homey atmosphere. It felt welcoming the moment we walked in. I ordered the "Fill Your Basket", I chose a turkey sandwich, soup, garden salad, and hummingbird cake. It was a great value and the perfect amount of food. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The hummingbird cake was a wonderful sweet finish! Service was excellent from start to finish, especially considering our group size. I'll definitely be back. Back Porch is a lovely spot for a casual meal out.

The Back Porch in Lake Alfred is one of those rare spots that instantly makes you feel at home…read more From the moment I walked in, I was personally welcomed by the owner, who was incredibly warm and genuinely appreciative that I stopped in during my lunch break. He chatted with me, made sure I was taken care of, and added such a personal touch to the whole experience--something you don't get often anymore. The food is served in the cutest wooden picnic baskets, which sets the tone right away. I ordered the soup, side salad, and sandwich combo, and everything was fresh and comforting. The butternut squash soup was rich and creamy with pumpkin seeds on top, the chicken and brie wrap was pressed perfectly, and the pasta salad tasted garden-fresh with a crisp bite of veggies. What I love most is the atmosphere. You can choose to dine on their beautiful shaded porch--full of old Florida charm--or head inside to their cozy dining room if you want to escape the sun. Both spaces have that relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. The Back Porch is a gem: great food, thoughtful presentation, and hospitality that truly stands out. If you're near Lake Alfred, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

They offer the same lobster rolls, but also have all different sammies, shakes, and smoothies. There's a little bit of something for everyone. You can eat healthy, or not. I decided to try the cherry banana smoothie. It was good, but I wasn't totally blown away by it. It tasted healthy. I didn't detect a whole lot of sugar which is great. It was thinner than I would like it to be. Not thick and creamy. I may try the strawberries and cream shake next time. They have a long list of different smoothie and shake combinations posted on the truck. It was much lengthier than what I saw online. The lobster roll was the star of the show here. This one looked like it had more than 3 oz of lobster. This one was served chilled with melted butter on the side. My mother ate every bit of it. I tried a large piece of claw meat. It was great! There are other sandwiches (sammies) as well. I saw 4 different sandwiches on the menu. A tuna, BLT, Club, and a turkey with bacon and avocado. Plenty of options. The service was the same great service as Rockstar Lobster. Check out this food truck if you happen to see it at your local brewery.

It's counter service, so on arrival you get on line and be given a number to place on a table you've seated yourself on. The sandwiches are great as are the salads and sweet tea. My family thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. The only kicker was the famous grapefruit pie. I suppose my expectations were off. I assumed that this was a take on key lime pie merely subbing grapefruit juice for the lime juice. Instead, this pie was quite gelatinous! If you like jello, go for it! But it wasn't exactly my cup of tea. But no harm, no foul! We really enjoyed the variety of other cakes and loved browsing the shop. They stocked various types of jellies, sauces, and local product. Very kind staff and a nice lunchtime treat!
