**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Some of you know that I am often brought to historic downtowns and villages in hopes of "letterbox seeding" them. As I get close to concluding Historic Downtown Melbourne/Melbourne Main Street, I am moving both south to Sebastian Riverview Area and north to the Eau Gallie Art District. Today, I decided to further check out the Sebastian Riverview Area and it looks like I'll be getting more done here as I discover more "mom n' pop" shops. One of the restaurants in the area I've been to before is Cafe Latte da. Located on the northside of the Sebastian Riverview Area on the riverside of US-1 (across the street from The District), Cafe Latte da is a smallish shop ran by two women. It is a quaint coffee shop that looks like stepping into grandma's house, well, at least the view you'd think seen on classic television, especially on Lifetime. The women are very kind. Very friendly and admirable and I had such a nice conversation with them. As for the food, it was delicious for what they have. Definitely a place you want to support. Now for the overall criticism. As much as I like this place, I most stress critical points that may be a factor for other patrons. For starters, the two women seem to be the only ones running this place, so there is a layer of grime often associated with homes ran by older people. Each menu had a bit of stickiness to it. For me, not a problem. But I know it can be an issue for others. It is quite evident things need to be wiped down. You can especially see crumbs on certain displays. Next, the food menu is good, but can be limited given the limits they have. Take that as you may, but so far, everything they had served me was delicious which is the more important factor in my opinion. Ultimately, I am going to give an overall rating of three out of five stars. It is good to go here if you can be graceful on some things. But there are some, especially some of my friends who are germiphobes and get uppity if a restroom doesn't have a means to open the door without using your hands. Still, give these ladies and their coffee shop some love. They are pillars in expressing and progressing the community with all the local artists displaying their art, events, and activities they support. I truly hope someone can give them the assistance they need because this place is great, but I can sense there can be issues others might see, especially with certain priviledges we Americans have when it comes to eating out.,

My boyfriend and I sat…read moreourselves and were immediately put off by the aroma of our table as it had recently been cleaned with a not-so-fresh rag/dirty water. It was very unpleasant and present the entire meal. We started with coffee and as I poured a single-serve creamer into my cup it curdled; I've never seen this before and I'm sure this was just a fluke but it seemed like an omen of things to come. I asked for a fresh cup of coffee and more creamer as we were then out, and we placed our food orders along with a glass of OJ. My boyfriend chose sliced tomatoes as the "breakfast side" accompanying his combo and was told they "no longer do that." You can get sliced tomatoes on any burger/sandwich/salad or their plethora of listed BLTs but not on the side? Strange for a diner/cafe, especially during tomato season in FL. Maybe take it off the menu as a listed breakfast side option. After waiting for about 10+ minutes for creamer (two waitresses, three small tables each), I finally went to grab a few from the empty table adjacent from me and was politely scolded by another waitress to "just ask if I needed cream." Well I did, but no one came and I'm not going to sit not being remembered while my now second cup turns cold (no one brought my orange juice either). The couple next to us, who had arrived and ordered after us, got their food first as did a gentleman on the patio, which felt odd/intentional. The couple also were offered sliced tomatoes as a breakfast side option by their waitress, so what's the deal with that? We felt judged. I'd like to mention that the man next to us brought in a dog in a vest reading "emotional support animal" that he initially had in his lap (these are NOT service animals) and later put on the floor. The staff said nothing despite there being a sign on their door stating they were no longer allowing animals inside; they have a full patio of outside seating. It would have been nice of the staff to follow their own rules and offer them a table outside. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to dogs. When we got our food (I had to ask again for the orange juice) I was very disappointed. I had ordered the California Benedict and the "avocado" was pre-packaged guacamole-like paste from a container. The mixture was also warm, as were the soggy tomatoes underneath, almost like they were cooked. It is not difficult to make a simple Benedict and just before serving add some fresh sliced tomato and avocado. Would you serve a burger with hot lettuce and cooked tomato? Same concept. In a word, this meal was unappetizing. I scraped off the topping and ate what I could around it. The eggs were nicely poached, the potatoes seasoned, the English muffin toasted. The OJ was delicious, the best part of the meal. The uneaten removed pile of my entree went seemingly unnoticed by our waitress who was by no means rude but just seemed a bit short with us. My boyfriend's combo, while tasting fine, was smaller than we're used to at most breakfast spots (especially for the menu calling it the "Belly Buster") and he found it difficult to eat his pancakes as they were on the same small plate as his yolky eggs. Overall the food and service both left a bad taste in our mouths and it was not a great experience. We will not return, nor recommend.
