I’m new to Florida and was looking for good places to eat. This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and even though there was a 15-minute wait, I quickly saw why, it was absolutely worth it! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor.
The lady in the front that checked me in with my group was super friendly with a beautiful smile even with 50 million people coming up to her and my waiter, Brian, was amazing. I was blown away by how he took our drink orders for six people, remembered every detail (even when two of us changed our drink orders!), and handled everything with ease and a personality that shines while helping other tables. Truly impressive service!
I’m very picky about food because I love to cook and hold high standards when dining out, but this place exceeded my expectations. Everything was tasty, and I can confidently say we’ve found our new go-to spot. I’ve attached a photo of my meal it tasted even better than it looks!
Thank you for the great service!

Had the vegan yo-egg sandwich and oat milk latte, both were delicious and hit the spot! Loved the staff, super friendly. If they are reading this, I would LOVE to see vegan pancakes on the menu!

I ordered French toast for $13 on doordash and My French toast was literally just bread toasted with some butter on it. It's thin and hard. Sorry, but this is not French toast, especially if you're asking for $13. This is a waste of my money.

Absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and it was so clean but still cozy! The food was hot and delicious. Brian was our server and he needs a promotion because we were so impressed! Actually we overheard other tables saying the same thing! He’s extremely charismatic and this business wouldn’t be the same without him. The food was of course amazing and we cannot wait to come back to try it all! The coffee was so good I drank it black, no sugar no cream. Still smooth and not at all bitter. Absolutely will be back!

Berry Café: How Not to Treat Locals
When I walked into Berry Café, I expected hospitality, warmth, and at the very least, basic courtesy. Instead, what I encountered was a stark reminder of how disposable some establishments treat the very people who should matter most to them: the locals.
The interaction that led me to walk out before even staying to eat was brief but telling. The hostess, Sherry, didn’t just fail to offer a greeting — she confronted me in a way that was dismissive, unfriendly, and almost hostile. As a single woman walking into a new café, I expected a neutral welcome at minimum, but instead I was made to feel unwelcome, as though my presence was an inconvenience. That moment of rudeness spoke volumes, not only about her own professionalism, but about the attitude that a business allows to set the tone for its customers.
Hospitality is built on the simple idea of respect. Every successful café, restaurant, or local establishment thrives because of the loyalty and goodwill of its community. Tourists may come and go, but locals are the backbone that keep the doors open year-round. To treat locals as though they don’t matter, as though they’re disposable, is not just poor manners — it’s bad business.
Berry Café, at least in my experience, has missed that truth entirely. When I was dismissed so coldly, it felt like my presence was meaningless. This isn’t just about one rude hostess. It’s about what that behavior represents: a culture where customers are not valued, and where employees feel free to treat people without dignity because they know management won’t hold them accountable.
What makes this worse is the fact that hospitality is not difficult. A smile, a greeting, or even a neutral acknowledgment costs nothing. It takes no extra time to treat a customer with decency. Yet when a business allows its frontline employees to show rudeness instead of respect, they send the clear message that customers are interchangeable. If one leaves unhappy, another will walk in — and to them, that’s good enough. But it isn’t good enough for the people who live here, who work hard, and who choose to spend their money locally.
The danger of this attitude is that it erodes trust in the very idea of “supporting local.” We as a community are often encouraged to spend our money at small businesses, cafés, and restaurants because that’s how our towns thrive. But why should locals be loyal to places that show no loyalty in return? If Berry Café can’t treat a single woman with basic courtesy, why should she, or anyone else in her shoes, ever return?
To add insult to injury, businesses that behave this way often forget that word of mouth is powerful. A bad experience spreads faster than a good one. When locals feel disrespected or unwanted, they talk about it, they share it, and soon enough the reputation of a place becomes tainted. One rude hostess may not seem like a big deal in the moment, but it plants a seed of distrust that grows over time.
I didn’t even stay at Berry Café long enough to taste the food, and I don’t need to. A restaurant can have the best menu in town, but if the front door is guarded by rudeness, the entire experience is ruined. Hospitality isn’t just about the meal — it’s about the feeling a customer takes home with them. My feeling was clear: this place doesn’t care if I’m here or not.
And that is the larger problem. Too many establishments treat locals as replaceable. They forget that it is not just the tourists, not just the weekend rush, but the everyday regulars who keep them alive. A new café especially should be bending over backwards to earn goodwill, not throwing it away by allowing a hostess to act

Food has always been good. Can't go there all the time due to the prices. Also, I do not appreciate an 18% tip already factored into my check total (I tip 15%)!! Not everyone looks at their receipt and that can make the tip double.

Brian J.C. is one of the best servers i’ve ever had in an establishment. Nowadays, it’s hard to come across someone who genuinely cares about their work to the point where it reflects on the customer!
$25 for just myself is a little to much For Breakfast plus a Tip $30 for Breakfast 😱
