Adonna's Garden St Cafe and Bakery

I attended the Hocus Pocus brunch and my party consisted of seven people. The food was good, but not great. I ordered the “Graveyard Garden Hash” and I barely had any tomatoes and I didn’t see any onions, which was disappointing because I enjoy sautéed onions in an entree such as that.

The service was so, so, so slow. The server was either overwhelmed or inexperienced. She would ask us if we had what we needed and would leave prior to anyone being able to answer. People at my table had to ask for drinks, literally, four times. My water was never refilled. She never asked any of us if we needed a refill. I wanted to order a mimosa, but hung that up due to the slow service and lack of attention. The entrees came out at different times (close to ten minutes apart). We ordered the biscuit appetizer, which came with three different flavored jams, but no one told us the flavors nor were they labeled. One person in our party was missing one of the meats out of her entree. They tried to bring us the wrong food and drinks once as well.

One person in my party asked if the chicken and waffles entree came with regular maple syrup and she was told yes. That was incorrect as it came with a fruit flavored syrup. The server never came back, so she had to get up and take the food to the front counter where she was rudely informed she gets what it comes with. She explained what happened and was eventually brought another entree with regular maple syrup.

The small building was quite packed and it was clear the restaurant staff were in over their heads. There were people standing everywhere and we were eventually asked to check out so another party could have our table. I’ve literally never been asked to get up and leave. We received no itemized receipts and I was almost charged for two entrees instead of my one. A guest in my party is pretty sure she was incorrectly charged for three entrees instead of the two she ordered. Speaking of, one of her orders was a to-go order. When she double checked, prior to checking out, she was told it was ready. When we checked out she was told it was “almost ready.”

When I checked out I informed the cashier that the service was terrible. She apologized very quickly and said two people called out. She made no attempt to make it right or to ask for details so the restaurant management could try to make it right. They also added gratuity, but we didn’t realize until after we had paid, as there was no itemized receipt, we were not informed, and it was not on the menu.

Be prepared to wait, to not receive appropriate service, be overcharged, and not get what you actually ordered.

I have been to Adonna's Garden St Cafe a few times now, and the food is great, and the desserts are very good and very sweet. I have had their sandwiches and the last time I was there I had their chicken salad salad with the cranberries and it's really GOOD and light. Their prices are reasonably priced. The very first time I went there they gave me some cuttings from a beautiful plant which I still have today, and that was 2 and 1/2 years ago. The staff is friendly.

Beautiful place with a phenomenal breakfast. Great service and unbeatable bottomless mimosa flavors.

Absolutely amazing little place! Very friendly staff and the food was fresh and tasted great!

This is a just fantastic! I truly enjoyed my visit and dining experience. Good quality ingredients, nice plate presentation, and very attentive staff! The food was delicious. It is very cozy and welcoming. Highly recommend visiting!

I loved this place. They had the BEST macaroons!! Very friendly and helpful staff. I would go back there ANY time I'm in Pensacola!

The food is really good, the place is very cozy and original.

Don't waste your time or money. The food is Denny's quality. I mean it's really bad and the service was awful. The manager or someone also kept saying crazy off the wall things to us it was weird. Stuff about ghost that was totally unprompted. The decor on the inside looked like a haunted doll house. The chairs were super uncomfortable. Looks like it could be nice from the outside, but trust me it's not good.

Fun place with quaint atmosphere, unique food, great desserts! The Paino in the corner is the icing on the cake!

Very yummy and delicious cakes, price was good! Cool environment.
