Lived in Tarpon for 16 months and just learned of this cafe!! Wish I would have known sooner! Visited on a Sunday morning and so it was crowded but our server, Leslie was quick & friendly! The food selection was good and everything tasted amazing! Would definitely recommend! Prices were reasonable as well.
What a fabulous little Cafe! We stopped in mid morning on a Sunday, it was busy, but we were seated quickly and our server took out order quickly, pleasantly answering the many questions I had about a few items in the menu. My husband had the redneck eggs Benedict and was very happy with his choice. A very full late of food. I decided on the honey almomd chicken salad sandwich which was absolutely phenomenal! Sweet and creamy, I added lettuce and the crunch was just what it needed, I highly recommend getting on one of their croissants. I tried their pasta salad as well, very out of my comfort zone, and not typically somthing I would go for, but it was very good! A little tangy for me personally but it was a nice contrast to the sweet chicken salad. We decided last minute to grab a blueberry lemon miffun for the road and it was outstanding! Bright flavor and super fresh blueberries. We can't wait to go back!! - the price was also almost unheard of for the times, incredibly reasonable!
Arrived just past noon on a Wednesday. Busy, waited 5 minutes for a table. Very laid back friendly service. Food is fresh with daily specials and homemade ingredients whenever possible. Slight wait for lunch, but well worth it. Everything was tasty and satisfying. Prices are reasonable especially for the quality received. Absolute recommend, will return!
Nice little restaurant. The food was excellent and the service from Cathy was just as good. I had biscuits/gravy, eggs, bacon and tomatoes and my wife had an avocado toast. They were both excellent. Great find.
You know I love mom and pop. This is one of those places!!! Small town feel with great food. My waitress was very attentive and the staff knew their regulars. The pancake was fluffy. They also sell fresh baked goods. Located in a cute shopping area with a ton of history... go visit!!
Local shop with friendly staff. We ordered the blueberry pancake and the Greek with a twist scramble, both were tasty, and portions were descent. There's no parking, but there's plenty around, on weekends may be slightly difficult. The ambiance in ok is a small place and can feel crowded, but overall is a nice place to enjoy a good breakfast.
If you are biking the Pinellas Trail, make sure to stop at Toula's for breakfast or lunch. Always a fun place to eat at.
What a pleasant surprise! And I say that sheepishly because I can't believe that it took me this long to find out about this place! Clean, bright, nicely-appointed, old-style cafe with a European/Mediterranean flair. The crew is a finely-tuned machine directed by Toula herself, who greets everyone and is definitely the life of the party. Don't expect a quiet, dull experience, this place is busy! Then again, it was Mother's day... The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful, my coffee cup never emptied and the crew checked in with us frequently. I had the redneck, a platter with eggs and biscuits, sausage gravy and more! My wife had the blueberry french toast and they were delicious also. Do yourself a favor and go to this place. Say hi to Toula, you can't miss her!
