“I recently had take-out from Big Bad Breakfast in Inlet Beach and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. I decided to try the Yard Work skillet with a biscuit, and it was truly delicious. The mix of fresh vegetables in the skillet made it a perfect meal for vegetarians like me. The flavors were outstanding, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying and tasty option.In addition to the skillet, I also tried the French Toast, which was a delightful treat. The balance of sweetness, along with the crispy edges and soft interior, made it a standout dish. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and would recommend it to anyone with a sweet tooth.“
“My favorite Playa Bowls! The name really fits the place here at Rosemary Beach Playa Bowls. Service is always top notch just like the bowls. I always get The Jetty half Pitaya, swap Goji berries for strawberries and add almond butter! My kids, dog and family love it too. Absolute perfection!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options and very vegan!?“
“A Gem of a Coffee Experience at AmavidaVisiting Amavida Coffee both in Rosemary Beach and Seaside turned out to be a highlight of my Florida trip. The ambiance of both locations is a perfect blend of comfort and artistic flair, making each visit a unique experience. Their commitment to sustainability is evident not just in their delicious organic coffee, but also in the range of sustainable products like the sweatshirts, which are not only eco-friendly but stylish too.The latte in Rosemary Beach was crafted to perfection, offering the right balance of espresso and milk - a true delight for any coffee lover. Meanwhile, the Seaside location impressed me with its delightful cheese Danish and scrumptious macarons, each bite better than the last. The variety and quality of their pastries are commendable.What truly sets Amavida apart, though, is the beautiful art that adorns their walls, adding an enriching layer to the overall experience. It's not just a coffee shop; it's a celebration of local culture and artistry. I highly recommend Amavida Coffee to anyone looking for exceptional coffee, delightful treats, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Amavida is a must-visit destination.Parking: Street sideKid-friendliness: I was able to enjoy my coffee while my kids enjoyed their time there.“
“What a GREAT addition to this resort! Not only is it convenient, but the food is so fresh and wonderful! My husband and I have loved everything we’ve eaten so far, and the shrimp tacos are our favorite as of today. The best part is the freshness. We’ll be back often!“
“Each day I get my coffee from 3rd Cup is a great day! They’re lovely to chat with, patient with my indecisiveness, and make recommendations that knock it out of the park. Highly recommend putting your pick-me-up in the hands of 3rd Cup, even if it’s only the 1st!Shoutout to Adam, King, and Krystal!!“
“The food looked and smelled amazing. Unfortunately I was on a strict diet and the Salad dressing did not come with dressing the first time. We went during Spring break and there was a super long line so ordering was very backed up and slow. Staff seemed overwhelmed with 1 register opened during peak season. The restaurant was very nice and well put together with seating inside and out.“
“Nice combo, restaurant, indoor/outdoor bar and market. Picked up a couple of tasty sandwiches and drinks and walked next door to listen to a concert in the park. Bartenders were friendly and the food was made to order. Nice casual convenient location.“
“Coffee 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Customer service 3/5 Food 3/5 The coffee here is spectacular! So tastyyy. The outside had all these games and a nice pond to look out on. The food was, however, decently over priced. Ended up getting a panini w/ chips for $13, but it had no chips. Would come back for the coffee and outside, but not the food“
“Highly Recommend Charlie’s delights!! The ice cream was amazing and creamy and you got a lot for your money. The donuts were also great and had a very good selection. They also had Açaí bowls and a lot more that all looked really good. The owners were extremely helpful and personable. Make sure to go give them a visit when in Alys Beach!!“
“Had the iced vanilla oat milk latte, and it was one of the best I've ever had. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere is top notch. Love being able to support locally-owned small businesses where I can, and these guys will definitely get more business from me! It's a must try if you're in the area.“
“A modern cafe in Santa Rosa Beach. We were looking for coffee on a stormy day...most of the coffee shops were closed. We happened upon the Beach Happy Cafe. After a friendly greeting by the staff we ordered coffee and a bagel. Both met expectations. The cafe has a bright cheerful atmosphere. The cafe also has a nice breafkast menu of wraps and sandwiches.“
“I love their fresh raw juices, across the street from the beach, a wonderful place to spend with the family around their fire pits in the winter time. Anytime is great for breakfast, which is outstanding.Kid-friendliness: Excellent area for the kids to play!“
“Service was SO quick and friendly! The line was almost to the door so we expected to be waiting a while but nope! They have it down to a science. The toasted caramel flavor is delicious but overall the coffee wasn't life changing. Would recommend for a quick coffee stop“
“Excellent customer service. Joyful, friendly, and contagious smiles. The coffee, latte, bear claws, and turkey basil grilled cheese were so good that we will return. Every thing about this establishment was better than the experience I had at the donut hole. They have boba too.“

“Before visiting Rosemary Beach for our first ever 30A vacation, many longtime 30A-goers implored us to visit The Sugar Shak in downtown Rosemary Beach for the "best ice cream ever". So of course, we did. We also visited The Sweet Peddler, due to it's convenient location across the street from our resort. And I have to tell you.....The Sweet Peddler wins that contest hands down!!! It's not even close. It's better in every single measurable category: quality, taste, selection, value, ambiance, seating, wait time, ease, etc. As a family of 6, we ate our way through The Sugar Shak and The Sweet Peddler. EVERYTHING we ordered from The Sweet Peddler was 4 or 5-stars, while everything we ordered from The Sugar Shack was merely "ok". The Sweet Peddler rotates their ice creams daily, which makes it fun, because every day there's something new to try that wasn't out the day before. The flavors at The Sweet Peddler are also fairly inventive. They have a lot of the tried and true staples, such as vanilla, chocolate, and butter pecan. But, they have a lot of interesting combinations that are delicious, like Salted Caramel Bananas Foster. At The Sugar Shak, there's nothing unique. It's the same flavors that would have been available in the 1980s. Beyond the taste and texture of the ice cream, The Sweet Peddler has a number of plusses in its favor that The Sugar Shak doesn't. For one, it's conveniently located on the north side of Rosemary Beach in the Peddlers Pavilion, right on 30A. Because it's not in downtown Rosemary Beach, it's easy to get in and out of. And, there are never long lines. Also, if you've never been to Peddlers Pavilion, it's pretty awesome. It's shaped like a crescent moon, with two half-circle rows of cute shops, restaurants, and Rosemary Beach's only "grocery store". In the center of the pavilion is a park with tons of covered/shaded seating, along with a concert stage. In the evenings (6 - 9 PM), there are concerts. And often, there's someone playing in the afternoon as well. So, you can grab ice cream, pizza, Italian, etc and sit outside and enjoy music, let the kids run, shop, etc.“
“I didn't wait that long I ordered almost immediately, couldn't get my phone to open the app though and so really aggravated as to why they can't apply my receipt to my account. To me that's just bull. I ordered the new Pistachio Blended Frap. It was good, but it didn't take like anything I've ever tasted. Didn't taste like either one- kinda wondering if maybe they made the wrong drink? Whatever it was it was still good. It's had sugar sprinkles on top.“

“LOVE the loaded teas. I have made it a priority to my daily morning routine. The prices are the same as all the other Herbalife distributors. The location is perfect and will be even better when construction is finished in the area. A great addition to the West End of the beach.“
“I had avocado toast and a coffee. My experience was fantastic. I visited on 2/15 and went in the a.m. The staff were incredible. The avocado toast with the arugula salad I enjoyed! It was fresh and perfectly seasoned. Thank you for a memorable breakfast.“
“We had a bit of a wait while waiting in line to place our order. Once we got up close to the register we realized it was because there was one girl making all of the drinks. Courtney was working her butt off and getting drinks out quickly and efficiently. As someone who has worked as a barista, I can confidently say she was making drinks as fast as she possibly could. That girl deserves five stars!“
“To start off the doughnuts were amazing. We got a glazed and a chocolate glazed. They were nice and fluffy and the chocolate tasted really good. I got a Sausage egg and cheese and that wasn’t anything to write home about. My gf got a turkey avocado sandwich and I wish I got that instead! It was really tasty and it was a pretty good sandwich. I got the caramel pumpkin iced latte and that was pretty good. My gf got a mocha frozen coffee and that wasn’t that good. Couldn’t really taste the mocha or coffee in it. Overall it’s a nice little coffee shop with a variety of foods to eat and some ice cream that they serve as well.“
