20 Best Cafes near Satellite Beach

“Banana River Cafe, 1301 S. Patrick Dr., Satellite Beach, FL 32937 5 Stars I swore four years ago I would never go back, yet here I am like fish from yesterfang in the parking lot of a restaurant that at one time (under previous ownership) was my number one breakfast place in Brevard County. After it was sold, it was turned into a joint that wallowed in bad food and even worse service. As I said, that was four years ago. I have since deleted that review. Now, I can say that it is safe to return to the water, but I get ahead of myself. What changed? The new owner/chef is a CIA graduate who did his externship at Michelin Star restaurant Gramercy Tavern in New York City. Emerson Krause turned down a position at the famed restaurant upon graduation to return home and bring Brevard a taste of things seldom sampled in this part of the Sunshine State. I can safely speak for all of my fellow Floridians on the Space Coast when I say, "Thank you, Emerson and welcome home!" After being seated at a delightfully decorated table (I love the paint scheme on the chairs), we were approached by a charming lady named Nicole. Nicole was outstanding in every way a service professional should be. I asked Nicole for an order of the Bacon Sea Salt French Toast, one Texan Potato Stack and a San Antonio Biscuit Bennie. Snapping a few quick pics of the warm environs, I sat back, soaked in the peaceable atmosphere and awaited Nicole's return. The aromas were enticing to such a degree; it was all I could do to take some pictures before digging into the edible artwork before me. First to saunter across my palate was a taste of the Bacon Sea Salt French Toast. One taste and I was deep in Hog Heaven. That bacon! While I love "meat candy" more than almost any other animal flesh, that is not what set this order of the tried and true breakfast staple of French Toast apart. It was the bread and execution. This bread was fresh, thick and griddled to a delightful golden brown. The outside had just the right amount of crunch, while the inside was airy, fresh and wonderfully warm. I could eat this every day and never tire of it. Heaving a sad sigh of regret, I moved on to the next dish to be sampled, the Texan Potato Stack. Every Potato Stack is served with eggs over easy on herb roasted potatoes and topped with jack cheddar cheese sauce with your choice of toast or biscuit. The Texan came with added chorizo, onion, peppers, salsa, guacamole and sour cream. One bite and again, I was done. The flavors cascaded down my gullet like so many drops of gastronomical gratification. The last to dance across my taste buds this morning was the San Antonio Biscuit Bennie. I won't bore you with any more details; suffice it to say that this was on par with the rest of the meal. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavor combinations were unparalleled in a breakfast biscuit (if this still qualifies as such). The Big Boy says, "If it is breakfast or lunchtime, stop what you are doing and go there right now."“

“We had a great experience! They have many gluten free options that are super yummy!“

“Love, love, love this place and their staff are amazing! Andrea is a doll and knows the customers so well! Fish sammich and sweet potato fries are delish!💗“

“We had an amazing brunch for Mothers Day! 11 of us and everyone loved their food and service was great!“

“I first tried this place when I visited Melbourne Beach a few years ago. I come back here every chance I can get. The Fish Sandwich is outstanding! It's so simple but so delicious. Not frozen fish like typical restaurants. You could never go wrong with their Cuban Sandwich. Their pork is sooo good! ...especially with that chipotle aioli they make. I also got to try the Seafood empanada today. (i want more!) So so so good! Can't forget the Guava & Cheese empanada for desert. My daughter (and me!) loves them!!“

“Your food is AMAZING! I would, however, appreciate knowing the nutritional facts for your items.“

“Pet friendly indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staffs. They also have to go cup fruits chia seed yogurt etc. vegan avaliable and healthy. Most importantly they offer non dairy milk because I am on non- dairy diets“

“Great spot with mediocre service. Just kidding. They are the best. Love you guys. Lol.“

“Food is great, cafe is cozy, and staff is very friendly.“

“Your restaurant is not welcoming. I feel like I’m in a church banquet room. By the way, Eastern Jewish People invented the bagel.“

“Sun Shoppe is by far my favorite cafe I've ever been too. delicious sandwiches, lattes, and just the best vibe. the owners are so nice. highly recommend“

“top notch service! definitely the place to stop! we so enjoyed our visit“

“Chef Toni is an amazing cook. I have eaten here twice and have had an incredible experience both times! If you are a foodie I highly recommend Cedars. Both times we asked her to just cook for us and she did just that! Thank you again Chef Toni! We cannot wait to book a Chefs tasting ❤️“

“The Brevard zoo is the most magical place! Have kids with sensory issues/disabilities like my son does? The zoo offers Sensory bags at the front. The area for kids has a splash pad, towards the back a sand pit and also a little jungle gym! BUT WAIT THERES MORE! In the kids section you can even PET ANIMALS! We love it here!“

“This food is so much better then Camp Lejeune. I mean common USMC. I retired in 2016 and was used to getting soggy chicken wings and a salad Buffett run by people with autism. By autism I mean an E5 Navy SK got njp for hooking up with a disabled person. This chow is great. I do believe management needs a kick in the butt for only keeping one elderly white person on the pizza area while the usual Filipino Mafia and crew get to chit chat on the food line not even caring to offer a helping hand. I had a female 04 and male 05 agree with me on this watching her bust her butt. Great food needs better leadership. Oh yeah the views the bees knees.“

“Great family owned breakfast/lunch joint! Great big fresh portions. Friendly servers. Your not just a customer, you become like family! 💕“

“cool place to get great food while hitting the books. Glad Chick-fil-a is here at EFSC!“

“Everything a great place to get all you need“

“Great vegan menu with lots of choices.“

“Oh my goodness! The blueberry cheesecake is probably the BEST cheesecake I’ve ever had. She said it was made from scratch. What a difference compared to the stuff made commercially. My hubby had the Key Lime Cheese Cake and thought it was really good. We’ll be stopping in whenever we’re back to Cocoa Beach.

Parking: Easy free parking street parking.“
