The lighting is great and the main lobby was so cute and had an area where guests can take selfie shots too. Unfortunately, they are not here anymore, and the building is now a Mexican food place now (it was that Shaq restaurant before the San Marcos that's there now, and a rib place before that) but the owner did mention that she'll be starting a food truck instead and traveling around so keep an eye on their Facebook page for updates and notifications.

It was a great introduction, and I would definitely order it again. What stood out the most was how accommodating they were with our dogs. They had no issue with us bringing them, and the staff were very kind and even complimented them, which made us feel very welcome. Overall, it was a relaxed and enjoyable stop during our visit to Pier Park. I would definitely recommend it, especially for anyone visiting with pets. Overall rating: 8/10

Sweetea Boba Bar is the MOST AUTHENTIC BOBA IN DESTIN AND SURROUNDING AREA!…read more Sweetea is a shop that sells boba/bubble tea, acai bowls, and ice cream. As a Korean-American and a once small-business cofounder of a boba cart in Atlanta, I can confidently say that this place is legit and the best in town. My fellow boba lovers, this is your sign to come! Their teas are brewed fresh and they don't use fake powders/ingredients! It's all real! YAY! Their tapioca is fantastic and delicious. Not too chewy and not too soft, just right! Plus, Their drink presentations are aesthetically pleasing. I recommend their roasted oolong with sea salt foam and their assam black milk tea. They changed ownership in 2023 and the service is amazing! The new owners and the associates are all so kind and personable. The shop itself is fairly sized! It has limited seating area (not for more than 12 people at most) and limited parking. Be careful not to park in the backs where some spots are resident parking only (learned from experience lol). They have two entrance doors in the front and back. Very cute spot! I drive an hour for it bcs yes, boba is in my blood LOL

This wasn't our first time in the area, and we've been on a mission to find true "flavor bombs."…read moreMost places were just okay--until we found 'drome in Seaside. The dumplings stole the show. Perfectly done, packed with flavor, and the kind you keep thinking about long after you leave. Everything else backed them up beautifully--the Dragon Fruit Margarita, the Green Tea Boba, and the Num-Num Shrimp Buns were all on point. What made it even better was the experience itself, including a great conversation with Whitley, the owner. We've tried many of the most recommended spots along 30A, and without a doubt, this was our favorite food experience.

Cool little spot, located directly across the street from the town center area, on the beach side. Simple, small menu, which in this case is exactly the right move. It's clearly intentional, because the quality and flavor of everything we tried was next level. We ordered the wings, chicken fried rice, brisket buns, brussels sprouts, dumplings and thanks to meeting Whitley, one of the founders, we also got to try the Bang Bang Shrimp. Honestly, I don't know if we just showed up at the perfect time or he's just a very present owner (probably both), but he came out, we started chatting, and it turned into him sitting with us for a bit. Such an approachable, genuinely kind person. He somehow turned our very introverted group into a bunch of chatterboxes. That alone made the experience unforgettable, and now I can't imagine coming back to Seaside without stopping here. Wishing him much success, clearly a passionate owner. And... Not me writing a review right now, I usually don't, but this one deserved it. So, let's talk food: Wings: Absolutely delicious. Only complaint... sticky fingers Dumplings: The best I've ever had, no exaggeration. Meaty, flavorful, and that sauce? Wow. Chicken Fried Rice: My picky eater daughter stole half, which says everything. Next time I'm getting it with shrimp on top, no question. Big-Back this one, trust me, GET THE SHRIMP ON TOP. Brisket Cheese Buns: My health-conscious mother-in-law couldn't stop eating it... and it wasn't even hers . Brussels Sprouts: I hate Brussels sprouts. Or at least I thought I did. Something happened in that kitchen because I actually loved these. Still processing that one; perhaps a glitch in The Matrix Bang Bang Shrimp: So good it'll make you want to turn into Plankton and steal the recipe. Fair warning, there's a kick to it. Yeah... safe to say I'll be back

(Yes, they work quickly but are often very very crowded.) No problem -- this week, I ordered on line. And it was a great experience. Customize your order item by item...pick all the goodies you want; set a time for you. order to be ready. (You can pick it up, as I did...or order Door Dash, etc to deliver it to you at work or home). Simply put: Chose my items, clicked on "order"...and received a text almost immediately. And, when my order was ready (within the estimated time...) I got another text informing me thusly. Very, very convenient...no hemming or hawing over a large menu board trying to decide while being jostled by other hungry patrons. Definitely will order on line again....especially when I'm pressed for time. 5 star experience indeed!

I got an extra scoop of salmon that came with it or I could've gotten a third protein. You can get it with rice, brown rice greens and I think there was a couple other options. Their menu is very easy and very clear to understand and read which made a very helpful and not overwhelming. Everything was labeled perfectly and very quick and fast efficient service I got my Poké bowl on a bed of greens. As you can see, I added a few extra toppings and that was extra like the avocado, seaweed salad and mango, but the mango was actually not ready and crunchy and hard. It did not taste very good at all! I also got a passionfruit Boba tea with lychee. This cost me $25 for both . Everything was packaged very perfectly and my drink looks phenomenal and tasted great.. The staff, they were very kind very quick. The environment was very clean and very kept. It's a very tiny shop. They were out of napkins, so you just had to use a paper towel roll. That was kind of inconvenient since everyone else is grabbing to rip a piece off . I happily enjoyed my visit overall ! Will be back thank You for making it a good experience!

When…read moreit comes to Lotus Cafe, it's maybe one of the best hidden gems that one can possibly discover. It's not hidden geographically or in a speakeasy way, but mostly due to its location in Panama City Beach. Surrounded by wild parties, ridiculous tourist attractions and mundanely depressing condo buildings, the Lotus Cafe is a hidden oasis that feels almost out of place. It's such a contrast to everything else around it that one struggles to comprehend being here. The space is huge, with cared for gardens and seating throughout them. The chicken taziki wrap is phenomenal. The coffees are perfect. The juices are invigorating. And, enjoying it all surrounded by plants is a purely spiritual experience. To keep the spirits happy, perhaps skip the quesadilla, as it wasn't the highlight of the meal. People working here are chill, pleasant and caring. Lotus Cafe is a truly special place and even writing this review feels a bit like revealing a well kept secret.

I ordered the potato salad, Strawberry Dream for me and Beach Juice for my guy. I didn't care for my smoothie but I ended up drinking his beach juice up. The potato salad was fine however I didn't finish it since I wasn't really hungry from an earlier lunch. The staff were cool and artsy and seemed to enjoy working here. The gardens were my favorite part of the visit. We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh breeze and the sounds of the waterfall and birds. It is very tranquil here and exactly what you would imagine a Zen garden would be like. I enjoyed my visit and recommend it for those looking for a vegan/vegetarian option, fresh juices or just a quiet place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. They also sell meat and fish options too. Pro Tip: Check out the other onsite businesses as well while you're at the Cafe.
