    This is, by far, our favorite breakfast spot in Ocala. The service is always attentive and…read morefriendly, the restaurant is clean despite being "standing room only" on weekends, and their food is delicious. I always order the traditional breakfast which is more than enough food for one meal. It may be pricey ($14.29), but in this case you get what you pay for and it's worth every penny!

    My parents and i came in and it was busy (not packed, which was good bc another First Watch we went…read moreto was packed). I askef if we could get seated outdoors since it wad cold inside and we got sat immediately. Our server was somewhat attentive (asked if we're ready to order, waited a couple more minutes for us to finish deciding). One of the menu items she said something wrong which was fine, i'm glad she tried to ensure I don't get an ingredient that I didn't want on a separate item. The foodrunner was absolutely great! Her attentiveness and overall attitude were great! I wish i got her name so i could give her props on here! The server checked up on us right after the food got to our table and we told her of some things we asked the runner for, but after that did not check on if we got it, how the food was, or if we wanted anything else. She passed by later and dropped the receipt with no explanation or reassurance like a "does everything look good on the receipt?" Or a "if everything looks good you can head up to the front and pay" (we did not know we need to pay up front so we stayed at the table waiting for her to get the card which she didnt check on or point out after 10-15 minutes of us sitting doing nothing). The food was delicious in my opinion. I got the 2 for you with the monterey club and the chicken avocado chop with a pueple haze (i unfortunately did not get a picture of them) but they were good quantity and quality for the price. The price of both is almost the same as if you bought any of them individually (they serve half the portion of each for the 2 for you) but i personally like the variety and trying both items. The salad only had two slices of avocado though which was slightly disappointing but it all tasted delicious. I think it's the best food i had in first watch ever!

    Scrambles Cafe - Fruit crepes with blueberry muffin

    After an early doctors appointment, we decided to eat at Scrambles Cafe off of Mericamp on Ocala's…read moresoutheast side (where we rarely dine). Shortly after 9 am, we were seated right away. I won't lie, first thing I saw was a fine layer of dust right at my eye level on the ledge along side the wall partition. Not what I expected to see, but... Our server, Brandie, was pretty busy, but she touched base a couple times letting us know she would be with us soon. She got our drinks quickly and circled back to get our orders shortly after. My partner got the fruit crepes (they ran out and waiting for more was part of the delay) and a blueberry muffin. She enjoyed the crepes and really loved the muffin, that our server said were made in-house. I had the scramble piled high: two eggs and sausage on an open faced biscuit, buried in sausage gravy. My side were the fried potatoes - hands down the BEST fried potatoes I've had in a very long time. Overall, a delicious breakfast.

    The cafe is very popular especially on a Sunday after church. The food is good, no frills,…read morediner-style. Staff are friendly and this place has lots of regulars, it seemed like everyone was on a first name basis. We were traveling with a very hungry child and when searching for kid-friendly options in Ocala, this was one of the few that did not have health department violations so seemed an easy decision, even if it was a little out of our way. The challenge was the wait time. We only waited 15 minutes to be seated but we waited 40 minutes to get our food (pancakes, quiche, and a burger). Our son made sure the whole restaurant knew how hungry he was. Our waitress kindly brought out a basket of crackers which he proceeded to devour. I also supplemented with snacks from my purse. But she did not give us any updates or apologize for the wait. We almost walked out, but then our food arrived. The food was okay, but very basic. For example, side salad was just ice berg with a slice of tomato and some red onion. Nothing wrong, just nothing fancy. I would only recommend coming here if you are not hungry and can afford to wait.

    If you're in Ocala and haven't made a trip to La Michoacana yet, stop what you're doing and go…read moreexperience some of the creamiest, most authentic Mexican-style gelato you'll ever taste. Seriously, it's a sweet tooth's paradise! After leaving La Hacienda I was craving something sweet. I always pass by this place as I leave La Hacienda and so I had to give it a try. The selection here is insane (in the best way)--so many unique flavors that make it almost impossible to choose. I sampled their Abuelita (Mexican hot chocolate vibes--rich and slightly spicy), Fruity Pebbles (childhood nostalgia in every creamy bite), and Patrón Tequila (yes, tequila in gelato form, and it's as good as it sounds!). But when it came time to make the big decision, I finally settled on Tres Leches and Ferrero Rocher--and WOW. The Tres Leches was a dream come true: velvety, smooth, and perfectly balanced with that classic sweet milk flavor we all know and love. The bites of tres leches cake in between each bite was moist too. As for Ferrero Rocher? Absolute decadence in every bite, with just the right touch of nuttiness and chocolate goodness. Both flavors nailed it on creaminess and texture--it held up beautifully without melting too quickly. And the best part? None of that artificial sweetness. You can tell they use real ingredients. The lady behind the counter was incredibly friendly and clearly knew her stuff. She walked me through the flavors and gave some great recommendations, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Mexican gelato that's bursting with flavor and texture, this spot is pure gold. Trust me--once you try it, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave the parking lot.

    This place is cute and bright and spacious. It's also right off of 75 so nice and convenient…read more We purposely searched La Michoacána ice cream and that's why we came here. Their menu is pretty much the same as any other menu that has this ice cream. However the flavor options seem limited compared to others. They don't have any guava, passion fruit, or rum raisin. We ordered a bionico with fresh con mantequilla and it was good but I've had better due to the type of fruit they had which was apple, pineapple, and melon. I still have a craving for this and will need to go to my local spot! I'm not sure about the service since my hubby ordered.
