    Surfinista Café has such a cool Cocoa Beach vibe -- laid-back, beachy, and full of character. The shop itself is adorable, and their merch is actually super cute. I ended up eyeing the tank tops, hoodies, and beanies with their logo -- they're the kind you'd actually want to wear, not just souvenir stuff. Food-wise, everything was really good. I had a tuna sandwich -- no frills, just fresh, simple, and delicious. The double chocolate chip banana muffin was amazing (definitely worth grabbing with your coffee). My nephew had the overnight oats, and they were a total hit. The only downside was the service. We stood waiting for several minutes while the employees chatted about a work issue and joked about how "the customer isn't always right." Not exactly the energy you want when you're ready to order. Still, once we got our food, everything hit the spot. Great place overall -- I'd definitely go back for the food, the atmosphere, and maybe a hoodie on my way out.

    Matcha chi pudding

    10/10 Perfect spot for a quick, light morning bite! The matcha chia seed pudding was fresh, flavorful, and just the right balance of simple and satisfying. Great vibe, fast service--definitely adding this café to my regular rotation. Highly recommend!

    The yummy juice I ordered

    3.5 overall I went here for lunch while in Cocoa Beach. I enjoyed the service and loved the vibe! I purchased the Barney juice and it was pricy for the size. However, the juice was fresh and delicious! I would buy the juice again despite the price. I would try another flavor too because the Janice was very fresh! My food was just okay! I enjoy avocado toast but the toast used for this was huge like Texas toast. I feel like smaller slices of toast would have been adequate for this dish. The taste was good and I would try another time of the menu when I return. Part of the reason I gave a 3.5 rating was that a patron was having a full on Zoom meeting in the cafe. They were loud and you could hear every word of their meeting. The person was not wearing headphones. It detracted from the chill and relaxing atmosphere. Overall, I will be back and would order another juice and food item. Try The Surfinista if you are in Cocoa Beach. Note that there is limited free parking but there are pay to park spots near the cafe.

    Our FAVORITE coffee shop and cafe while in the area! Their matcha latte was the best in town and staff was also so friendly. It is a small surf shop but mostly their merch and seating for dine in. The bagel with lox was especially delicious and a huge portion. We ended up here for tea and coffee every morning with a final stop on our out of town for Surfinista swag to wear home. Great community staple right here!!

    Great coffee shop with other goodies, indoor & outdoor seating, attached surf & ukelele store, great coffee, steady service with an organized system. Definitely crowded every time I went. Not consistent in the almond milk they use. Had a great latte the first day, the second day they used a different milk and it was horrible. Made a great Hawaiian banana bread and protein balls. Several nice Asian(Hawaiian?) salads for grab 'n goes. If we got the almond milk situation figured out, this would be my daily stop.

    Vegan chili, tuna salad with salad, cafe au lait and turtle Brownie

    Great food and vibe even if you don't get vegan! Mostly vegan but they have actual tuna and chicken dishes as well Vegan chili had a nice spicy kick and good texture. I don't know what the fake meat was, but I'll be happy in my ignorance as it tasted good My daughter did not like the Peanut butter and jelly kids sandwich because the bread was too healthy. So she stole my tuna salad in chili instead as these met her picky criteria. PS i enjoyed her p b and j Cafe Au Lait with whole milk was well flavored and perfect Turtle Brownie was outstanding!! I am not sure If the coconut hints came from a coconut oil or dairy substitute, or was just part of the intended flavor. At any rate, it gave off that chocolate, caramel, coconut, pecan flavor that was super moist in one of the top few brownies i've had from a cafe. The decor was entertaining to look at and we played ping pong while we waited for our food. Overall nice experience. Give them a try! By the way, I think I got a ten or fifteen percent military discount.

    This was a very cute find in Cocoa Beach. It was crowded but the service was quick and the food was good! They have different types of avocado toast. Mine came with vegan egg, cheese, tomato, spinach, and balsamic glaze. It was amazing!! They also have some huge acai bowls and fresh baked breads and muffins. I will definitely return next time I am in the area.

    Delicious açaí bowls and they are allergy friendly and was willing to remove things and add things in to pretty much customize what I ordered. Cute environment as well with art that was stunning

    Fun seating area with self-serve water by the front. You order grab a table and they bring the food to you.

    The staff is friendly and fast. The shop has great beach products that are useful on a trip.

    Vegan breakfast burrito

    Love this spot. They have great options. Amazing smoothies, great cold brew, delicious vegan breakfast options and some pastries and yummy pressed juices and beverages to choose from as well. I love the location and ambiance of this spot. Service is good and food comes out fast. A must when in the area.

    Açaí pitaya smoothie
    Julie P.

    Great vibes and great choice for a healthy breakfast. Great vegetarian and vegan options. My favorite was the açaí pitaya smoothie.

    This was one of the açaí bowls that they offered.

    Upon entering we had a lovely server named Alina or Alana, and she was amazing! Very welcoming! The cafe seating and ambience were so beachy and comfortable and accessible. The coffee was amazing along with the Avocado Toast and many other food options our group ordered.

    My friends hazelnut latte

    It's too bad I'm not living in Cocoa beach. If I was, I would come here when I am craving something light and tasty. Coffee is good, avocado toast is filling.

    Probably not too many visitors to Rockin Retro mapped out a visit here from the other side of the…read morecountry. But I had fallen in love with ice cream from Wisconsin's Chocolate Shoppe, and I learned Rockin Retro served their ice cream! (Chocolate Shoppe supplies independent ice cream shops across the country, including places near my home in California.). Since Rockin Retro was a reasonable drive from my brother's Florida house, we had to stop by here one evening while in Cocoa Beach. This place is amazing! Love the retro vibe: jukebox, Elvis, vintage posters, 50s style booths. And of course the super premium Chocolate Shoppe ice cream! 24 flavors to choose from - there is something here for everyone. My brother got his favorite Iced latte Da, and I I found something I hadn't tried before, Munchie Madness. It's described as "sweet cake batter ice cream with a salted caramel ripple plus Oreos, M&M pieces and peanut butter cups. Wow, it was good. We took our time savoring each bite. If you love ice cream this is the place for you!

    We were nearby when my parents pointed to this ice cream place and said, "That place has the best…read moreice cream!" Then they added, "Yeah, and we walked in after they were closing but the owner was still nice enough to serve us! We'll have to go back there tonight." I, personally, would never want to walk into a place as they're closing. Give the employees a break, they want to go home! But, of course I wanted to come back and try the best ice cream. That night, we went out, stopped a few different places, and before you knew it, it was 5 minutes before their posted closing time as we pulled up to Rockin Retro Ice Cream. I suggested we try again a different night but my parents insisted, and, I did want to try the best ice cream. Plus, the "Open" light was still on. We went in, and found that the shop was super cute with 1950s decor, a jukebox, and a statue of Elvis playing the guitar. The staff wear cute striped aprons and paper hats. When we entered, the staff had pretty much all cleaned up and packed up. Still, they were still super friendly and happy to serve us (and I made sure we left a nice tip, since we kept them there late!) I don't always agree with my parents, but they were right about one thing - the ice cream was the best!

At first, I spoke with a nice lady and was explaining what happened. Then suddenly the phone went quiet, and the next thing I heard was someone saying "hello" with an attitude. I thought maybe I missed a question, so I politely asked, "Sorry, did you ask me something?" She responded with, "No, I'm a whole new person," and continued speaking with a very disrespectful tone. There was no introduction, no apology, no explanation that the call had been transferred , nothing. How was I supposed to know I was speaking to someone new? A simple, "Hi, I'm sorry, what seems to be the issue with your order?" would have gone a long way. On top of that, I was told to come into the store to fix the problem -- but I ordered through DoorDash for a reason. If I could have gone in person, I would have. The incorrect order was frustrating, but the poor customer service made the situation much worse. I hope management addresses both the order accuracy and the way customers are spoken to on the phone.
