This place was excellent. They make everything homemade, even their toast!…read more We got a pair of waffles, an omelette and a break wrap for our group of 4. Each of the breakfasts was delicious and sooo big! They even made animals out of foil for our doggie bags. The atmosphere is adorable and very mom's kitchen kinda place and the staff were all so nice and attentive. You're missing out if you're not coming here while in town.

My bf and I are staying next door to this restaurant and decided to try it this morning. It seems…read morelike a cute home turned restaurant. Surprisingly a lot of seating indoors and a few tables outdoor. We ordered it for pickup and it was ready within 20 min. The food was decent, but the service was horrible when we picked up our order. We were standing at the door for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us and they definitely saw us. I asked for ketchup and hot sauce to go and the girl gave me little cups and said "they're over there on the table you can grab it." No ketchup packets or anything? We are visiting and don't have condiments at our Airbnb. The servers were all dismissive. Rude service, we definitely won't be back. Steak&eggs: (2/5) We ordered MEDIUM and the steak came out hard and overly well done. Disappointment for the price of the tiny piece of steak. Omelette: (4/5) This was pretty good. Nice portion. The breakfast potatoes were delicious. Sourdough toast: (4/5) Huge slices of bread and it was very tasty.

Bella Sicilia Café, 85 East Merritt Avenue, Merritt Island, Florida, - 5-stars…read more The Bella Sicilia Café is a very well-hidden gem in Merritt Island. I had to drive around the parking lot three times to find it. Thank goodness I did. This welcome newcomer to the Brevard restaurant scene is officially on the Big Boy's Must Try List. I guess my faith in Italian food has been restored. Faced with all the faux Italian fodder in Brevard that is just an Anglicization of il mangiare, this is refreshing. Antonella Bonventre is the owner/operator of this beautiful ristorante siciliano serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner to hungry Space Coast denizens longing for the food that only mama used to make. Getting a meal from Bella Sicilia is to go back to a time when newly immigrated restaurant owners from the "Old Country" served up the authentic taste of Southern Italy. Everything Bella Sicilia has to offer is lovingly made right on the premises. The menu changes every day with Antonella's lunch specials created from scratch every morning. The day I visited, she was serving up a delicious sausage and potato entrée as well as a pasta and meatballs special. These hand-rolled diamonds were exquisite, and the accompanying penne pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Mmm...That's Italian! In the crystal-clear cases, Antonella presented a dazzling array of pies, cakes, pastries, cookies, cannoli, and napoleon. The parade of baked goods was endless, and I confess I tried every single one. Antonella can even whip up a custom creation for your event or special occasion if you call her in advance. For good measure, she also maintains a tiny grocery on the property. The Big Boy says, "There is ZERO processed food at the Bella Sicilia Café. If there was a rating higher than 5-Stars, this place would get it!"

Tiny Turtle was a fun stop with some really unique flavor combinations!…read more We started with the empanadas, and they were absolutely fantastic. Crispy, flavorful, and a great way to kick off the meal. We also ordered the signature nachos with half pork and half beef. The meats were delicious, but the nachos are served in a bowl, which caused most of the liquid cheese to settle at the bottom. That left quite a few chips dry by the end. I also wish they had been a little more generous with their signature sauces because they're one of the highlights of the menu and I think a bit more of them would have really brought everything together and helped the drier chips. The PB&J BBQ sliders were a total flavor explosion. Such a creative combination, and it absolutely worked! My only suggestion would be a little more sauce and a few more peppers to really let those flavors shine (they were dry in some areas). The prices were fair for the quality of the food, and we really appreciated that they offer a military discount. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and would likely come back to try some other options. With just a little more generosity on the sauces, this place would be outstanding. If you're looking for something different from the usual beach fare, Tiny Turtle is definitely worth a visit.

On my recent cruise, we stopped at Cape Canaveral. I only had two stops on my agenda, Coco Beach…read moreand this cute little shop I read about serving some of the best key lime pies in Florida. After a sunny day at the beach, our group of eight walked to this shop and decided on buying a whole pie for $18 instead of two slices at $5 a pop. Certainly the better deal, but we also didn't want to regret later for not ordering enough. Well, it was a very good decision. We devoured the whole pie in one sitting like a bunch of starving hyenas seeing food for the first time in weeks. There was not a crumb left by the time we finished. The pie was as great as they say, and definitely one of the best I ever had. Just the right amount sour and tartness without being overly sweet. If I were to nitpick, then I would like a slightly thicker graham cracker crust. Not sure when I'll come back to Cape Canaveral again. However, if I do, this may have become stop number one on my list. You can find beaches everywhere, but an excellent key lime pies is a treasure you rarely discover.

Some of the best places were the places we didn't even plan on stopping by, like this place. We…read morejust happened to stumble onto this little gem of a shop after visiting Ron Jon's main shop across the street. The word "ice cream" caught my eye, and even if it was late February, the weather was warm, which is strange, given a week prior to our arrival, it was freezing cold, so ice cream it was. There was a little line in the store, with only one man scooping ice cream for a bunch of people waiting (who was also the cashier). It was funny to see how people would copy each other with choosing the flavor; the lady in front said "sweet cream" flavor, and each successive person behind her said the same thing, even if they were not with her. I stuck to my guns and got the Key Lime Pie Ice cream, which was a great choice! Sweet, creamy and tangy, all the right combo! They also have candies, salt water taffies of all flavors, beer, alligator jerky, Tortuga rum cakes, key lime pies, a huge wall of hot sauces, and gifts. I ended up walking out with a bottle of hot sauce and orange blossom perfume roller ball, which was very nice. Prices were reasonable given this is tourist-town.
