Amazing hummus toast with a thick layer of hummus with cucumber, radishes, olives, and a drizzle of olive oil!

Yum! Quaint little walk-up window in a boutique outdoor plant and garden shop.

A MUST EAT! This place has it all - a relaxed earthy atmosphere, fresh homemade recipes, artisanal coffees, entertaining free-range chickens, and the sweetest staff! Did I mention fresh squeezed orange juice?? It's the perfect spot to grab breakfast on your way down the Keys. Will visit again, and again!

Wow wow wow!
What a wonderful way to start your morning in Islamorada or Key Largo!

Atmosphere was breathtaking!
We loved every inch of this Bistro and its collaboration with the Nursery is a win-win for all!

Food was delicious and the environmental friendliness was highly appreciated by our family. Cloth napkins, Bamboo Straws!

The service was spot on with clear instructions on self-service water stations and a trail of delivery of yummy dishes!

Highly recommend!

We stopped here on our way to key west due to the high ratings and pictures of food that looked delicious. You have to walk up to a booth and order your food yourself. As soon as they said they don’t have a real kitchen, we should have left. Then when we paid the girl mentioned that an 18% gratuity charge was added! For what?? It’s a self serve place. The bill came to $100 for breakfast for 2 adults and 2 children. We are not big eaters but all left still hungry due to tiny portions. The sandwiches were good, the waffles were dry and crumbly. My kids ate them because they were starved and we paid 12 for 2 regular sized waffles but they were not good. The kids meal was a joke.

Absolutely amazing! The service was exceptional—very informative and truly helpful. The atmosphere was a perfect 20 out of 10, and the food and lattes were expertly crafted! We are so happy that we stopped. 😊

18% AUTO TIP ON ALL ORDERS INCLUDING TO GO

While beautiful, this cafe is overpriced. I ordered the hummus toast for $14, and added mozzarella which is an additional $3. The cashier informed me of a “10% charge for to-go orders” due to the box being bamboo. I support being eco-conscious but at this price point you’d think the to-go box would be included. AND THEN another automatic 18% auto tip… on a to-go order. I paid $22 total, for toast to-go. Naturally I was expecting a large piece or 2 for the price, but I received one normal sized piece of bread. It was good but not $22 good. Even when using high quality organic ingredients, one piece of toast should not cost this much. 18% auto gratuity at a walk-up cafe on a to-go order for 1 piece of toast is the problem.

We had a delightful breakfast here, complemented by the beautiful ambiance and thoughtfully designed café layout. The peaceful atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. Every dish was prepared with great attention to detail, using natural, high-quality ingredients, especially the eggs. Highly recommend for a serene and wholesome dining experience!
