“Very nice restaurant in a hip hopping area, we sat outside in December and it was rather pleasant with the space heaters keeping us nice and warm. We had a large group and our server was very attentive, the drinks were great, the food menu is rather limited tho. I enjoyed my burger but for $25 I expected it to have a little more flair. We always enjoy stopping by their coffee bar in the morning's every once in awhile as there aren't many coffee shops near beach drive.“

Nevertheless, things moved along quickly and we got our order in and got a table. The staff members were all very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The coffee was very good. For food a Jam-on-It Sandwich which was quite nice. We also had a berry yogurt bowl. The yogurt was delicious and the fruit and granola on it were great. The scone we got, nicely warmed, was delicious. I’ll return, but I’ll try for a dry weekday.“

He will make as if you had made yourself and the pastries they sell are delicious. Highly recommend“

He provided first class service and responses for someone who was just grabbing two bags. I even went to shop to check out the process and he was extremely nice.

“5/5 Stars – A New Holiday Tradition
Our group has a long-standing tradition of going out for a big holiday dinner, but this year we decided to stay in and hire Frank from Creative Catering. It was a total game-changer.
Chef Phil was incredible. He prepared a filet mignon dinner that was truly the centerpiece of the evening—perfectly cooked, and so tender. Having a chef-led experience at home allowed us to enjoy a high-end meal in a much more intimate, relaxed setting.
We were able to actually catch up and enjoy each other's company while Phil and the team handled every detail, including a full cleanup. If you’re considering skipping the restaurant rush for a private dinner at home, I can’t recommend Frank at Creative Catering and Chef Phil enough.“

“Incredibly kind employees, and I have to say, the people who come here are really classy and nice! It makes me want to come back just to socialize. You don't find people working hard and being kind like this anymore lately.I recommend their coffee and every special I've had of theirs is incredible.. but so is basically everything I've tried!“

“just had the best ice coffee in awhile here! delicious 😋“

“We have always appreciated the family atmosphere, the Manager on the front end & the deli staff. What we were taken aback with was your new cashier. We purchased plenty with you recently, and while adding our phone number as she requested, she grew impatient with my spouse because he is slower then she expected. Everyone is kind there except this individual.“
