They said the location they would love would be in Wesley Chapel. The ice cream shop is fun and whimsical and has fun toys and stuffed animals and has a cool vibe to it. It definitely fits nicely in Downtown Dade City. My ice cream scoop of the day was a Black Cherry in a sugar cone. My husband had the butter pecan and black cherry in a cup. Very tasty. They have one community table a!; a few chairs against the wall. This was especially nice since we were at the Kumquat fest which was very hot at the time. Great place to stop for ice cream or a sweet treat while visiting Dade City.

The set up has a couple tables in the front and some rocking chairs next to their ice cream. There are gf baking mixes, juices, teas, coffees, cakes, cookies and pies. The people that work the shop are very friendly and understanding when it comes to allergies. Everything is easily labeled. This visit, we bought a lot but one of may favorite items was the Cuban sandwich, it was very delicious. I would recommend trying any of the sandwiches but definitely pressed or toasted. I am really looking forward to trying a coffee or matcha my next visit. I hope to see this bakery and bakeries like this expand here in the Tampa area.

They have an interesting menu, along with a daily special that offers additional options. The food is very good, flavorful, well prepared, and consistently enjoyable. On the other hand, the service can be inconsistent. Some of the servers have displayed less-than-welcoming body language or facial expressions, which can affect the overall experience. The ambiance is nice and inviting, although it can get a bit loud at times. When paying with a credit card, remember that a 3% fee is charged without notice. Overall, I recommend this restaurant because the food is excellent. If you're fortunate enough to visit on a day when the service is also great, you'll have a wonderful dining experience.

Over the years, it has consistently delivered a wonderful, unique atmosphere that makes every visit feel a little more memorable than your typical meal out. There's a charm to it that keeps you coming back. Their brunch is absolutely fabulous, offering a wide variety of choices that make it hard to pick just one favorite. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or a bit more creative, there's truly something for everyone. One of the things we appreciate most is how accommodating they are. We've dined there with groups of all sizes, and they handle large parties with ease while still making everyone feel welcomed and well taken care of. Overall, Kafe Kokopelli is a gem in Dade City--consistently great food, a warm atmosphere, and service that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommended.

We both ordered sopes which was our fave here. I ordered one, and my husband ordered the sopes platter with two sopes, rice, & beans, I took his beans with my single sopes. This time the steak tasted different and the flavor wasn't all there. It was ok but definitely have had better ones now. They use to include guacamole too. That's long gone. We ordered a horchata and pineapple agua frescas. Of course these are more expensive and much smaller now. Service was ok but difficult to locate our server. It wasn't too busy either bc it was early in the week. Not sure if we will be back here much. Now I still want more sopes bc this one didn't fill my taste buds for it. Ambiance was loud and echoey with two parties. With a full house, wow bring your headphones bc it will be super intensely loud in case you have sensitive ears like me.

Everything we ordered was fantastic and you can really tell this place puts love into their cooking. But the real star of the evening might have been our server, Eddy.

My aunt was visiting from Chicago and between the great food and Eddy's charm, she may not want to leave Florida now. We love supporting small-town local restaurants, and Ollio is definitely a gem.

It's cafeteria style with pricing by the number of "mains" and sides you choose. We both selected fried chicken and it crispy, seasoned just right and juicy. The sides were plentiful.

In March of 2022, my wife and I moved to Dade City. We love southern soul food and were delighted…read moreto come across Steph's. The staff was wonderful and the food was great. It's a black owned business, with a predominately brown staff, and a lot of white patrons. This becomes relevant later in the review. For a while, we were regulars and always got along with everyone in the restaurant. My wife swore they had the best fried chicken in town! As a retired Army War Veteran, I often wear patriotic t-shirts. I have a few t's that display my support for the US Flag and the Veterans who died to defend Her. One day, this did not seem to sit well with the black management; as the Colin Kaepernick incident was still fresh in the minds of most black Americans. The black gentleman who manages the restaurant wasn't his usual jovial self after he saw my t-shirt. After a few visits, I felt a bit unwelcomed only by the black staff. No one else changed. The Black Eyed Pea became my new top restaurant for southern food, but my wife still loved Steph's. So, we continued to go there occasionally, but not as often. After a while, the manager seemed to have returned to his old self and was friendly and joking with us again. After Steph's temporarily closed to give the staff a well-deserved vacation, we started to return as regular customers again. Unfortunately, while eating a bowl of collard greens, a piece of the metal mesh they used to strain the greens got lodged into my gums. This scared my wife as she thought I was choking. I was able to remove the metal wire and I reported it to the manager. He did apologize and recognized that it was from one of his strainers. His final statement to me was "Thank you for understanding." No removal of the contaminated food tray from the line. No replacement side. No complimentary dessert. No refund or discount. At that point, my wife was angry! There are a lot of elderly people who eat there. If one of them had swallowed that wire and was injured, Steph's would have ended up getting sued. Luck was on their side with me not pursuing the matter, but their lack of gratitude and their unwillingness to correct their error got them on my wife's bad side. And we haven't returned since.

For service, you order at the counter, they do bring your food to you, and you don't have to bus your table (I don't think)...I wasn't sure as I looked around for trash bins, so I asked the kind people at a nearby how to do that and they said that the restaurant does it. It was very very quick service which was great. Ambiance...It's clean, there's lots of parking, the servers are nice. The location is great. Exiting is a bit weird on the north of the building. If you're looking for old style (no pun intended - bare bones) traditional bbq with Cole slaw, baked beans, Mac and cheese, baked potato, cabbage/bacon, slices of plain bread, carrot cake, banana pudding, or ice cream, then you'll love it. Is it good, yes. Is it for me, eh, I don't think so. Will I give it another chance? Maybe, if someone I know loves it here, I will come with them. If it's just me, and given other choices in the area, probably not; I'm sorry. There just isn't enough choices for me to make it worth while, and that's okay; Timmy Jons BBQ is just...different and that makes it great.
