“We were exploring the countryside around Tallahassee and decided to try Tupelo's for lunch. It's a very informal place with an old Florida vibe--linoleum tiles on floor, mismatched but comfortable table and chairs. You order at the counter and within a few minutes you pick up your sandwiches in a brown paper bag--ready to eat inside or take out. My BLT on rye was the best BLT ever! Tons of bacon and fat slices of a juicy tomato with crunchy lettuce on bakery bread. (I had told my husband "white" bread, but he heard "rye," and I'd order it that way again.) Husband ordered the tuna salad which was also top quality. The tuna was chock full of goodies, and the sandwich also had farm-fresh tomatoes and lettuce plus a slice of cheese. Their prices are extremely reasonable. After lunch I bought two pastries from their case to take home. We've already sampled the cinnamon bun, and it's the best I've had since the ones made by the lunch ladies at my elementary school back in the 1950s--the ultimate compliment. Next time we're in Monticello, we'll certainly go to Tupelo's again. I'd like to try the quiche, but I may not be able to resist the BLT.“
“I am sure I have reviewed this cafe before but I came back again even though I live in another country:-) By far my favourite restaurant on our trip. I love the down home atmosphere and friendly service. The fresh made chicken salad sandwich was delicious and everyone in our party enjoyed their sandwiches and salads. I like that you can get half and sandwich or small salad. The store is lovely.“
