Frozen biscuit, overcooked eggs, slow service. Some things never change. And oldie but not a goodie. Some of these issue pre-date COVID so no blaming the pandemic.
Great find. Absolutely love the atmosphere. Food was great.
Great breakfast! Awesome service!!! Avocado toast was delicious!!
Staff is very friendly- very cute vibe and atmosphere. -1 star because the food is good but not sure if it’s worth the price! We had 2 coffees, 2 entrees that were hardly filling, and a side of baguette. Price for all was about $50 for breakfast. When ordering a baguette with butter + jam from a place that considers themselves French- you would think the jam would at least be of decent quality. Unfortunately it was served with a plastic packet of smuckers jelly which is basically flavored high fructose corn syrup. I would suggest if they are going to charge pretty high prices - the quality should reflect that, and that even goes for something as small as jam! It makes a difference. Overall a good experience and I would consider going back for just a coffee and snack for the atmosphere and friendly service.
A wonderful place a little hidden from view from the main street. We found it by chance and immediately fell in love with the romantic ambiance it provides. The service was excellent, and the staff was very friendly. The food was delicious and made from fresh ingredients. The cafe is near my apartment so ...from today this is my favorite place to enjoy all the senses.
Another delicious lunch at survey Cafe!
I’ll start by saying that this is a very cute place with great outdoor seating. The live music was nice and we really enjoyed the ambiance. Giving 3 stars because it took an hour to get our food (there was only 2 of us). We saw many people come after us, get their food, and leave. We finally decided to flag down one of the servers to ask about it but she was pretty rude and didn’t even say anything when we asked and walked away. When it hit the 50 min mark I decided to go inside to ask about our food. The person working in the front didn’t even apologize for the delay and just said it’ll be out soon. We finally got the food exactly 1 hour after ordering. To be fair, the croissants were delicious and the food was decent. Willing to give this place another chance and just hoping this was a one off situation.
Food was excellent, the owner was a doll. I wish I was spending more time so that I could eat here again! The menu was outstanding m, so many things I wanted to try! The strawberry banana smoothie was also excellent, highly recommend.
Great food, great people, and great, riveting entertainment by the local lizards. As another reviewer said, a hidden gem in Bonita Springs
Amazing place ! The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly! Coffee is incredible! The best croissant!
What a beautiful little cafe in Bonita Oldtown. Found it coincidentally and appreciated the nice staff, great food and surroundings.
Very nice place to go for brunch. The Cafe Cuban and Caesar salad yummy. Highly recommended
Such a cute gem! Nice outdoor seating, delicious food - we had the Rueben Sandwich with a Wonder Garden salad and it perfect - desserts are amazing too and all made in house. Definitely a favorite spot in Bonita Springs.
This cafe I’m shocked has such high reviews. For starters it is massively overpriced while portions are incredibly small for the prices paid. The food quality in general was poor as well and everything we ordered and saw anyone else order was way overcooked nearly to a burnt/throwaway level. Our order was placed on a not too busy morning with max 4-5 orders in front of us and it took them 45 minutes to bring out our overcooked and barely edible brunch. One item had a massive hair that was partially under the quiche which would have been impossible to miss by the multiple people involved in making, prepping and delivering the item. Also, for such an expensive brunch you have to walk up and order at a counter yourself and you are not waited on at your table. My cheddar eggs barely had any cheese and I had to search for a while to even notice there was any cheese in them. They were a weird texture and partially burnt. Which is very uncommon in French cuisine which normally undercooks eggs serving them soft and sometimes runny. Also, it was extremely hot inside the restaurant (unbearable to eat inside I thought) and I saw a lot of the staff sweating in what seemed like pretty tough working conditions. Not sure if the AC broke or what was going on with that situation. The only reason they didn’t receive a one star is because the quiche (minus the hair in it) was very tasty and one of the servers outside was very pleasant. :Edit to sassy owner: We sent back the dish with the hair and you didn’t come out and apologize or say anything to us and multiple tables were served quiche AFTER we sent our plate back and us waiting quite a while. So why would we need a picture of something you saw and didn’t address? Check your attitude a little maybe and the pictures might make more sense than your rude response both in person and on here? Changing the original two star to a one star for the lovely energy. See ya never.
Best food around ever!!! Great attention, I'll be back for sure, charming people and beautiful setting!!
This has quickly became by favorite place to get breakfast since moving down to Bonita Springs. The staff are kind and attentive, they go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, the food is TREMENDOUS (strongly recommend doing the Avocado Toast and add smoked salmon), and the atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Great spot to have a conversation, do some remote work from, or just enjoy a bite to eat. Very dog friendly, free parking, and live music on weekends.
Food was worth waiting for, but we waited over 1 hour after ordering at a Sunday noon lunch.
Unfortunately, very disappointing! I have not eaten there since Covid. In the past the quality and creativity of the food were excellent and the presentation was colorful. Today, I ordered the avocado and salmon on Baguette with cream cheese, sliced egg and tomato. It arrived lacking the previous three components on a stale baguette. The accompanying fruit in a Petri dish looked like fruit cocktail. My friend had a mushroom and chicken crepe, dry and lacking sauce! A lot of brown and little color. When we asked for more sauce and cream cheese, our waitress was ambivalent and took her time returning them! The only bright spot was the charming Asian hostess and the coffee. I think the establishment is leaning too much on their former reputation of originality and quality for your money. We saw none of that today and it is questionable whether we will return.
This was our Valentine Day dinner. Both the food and service were just awful. My husband ordered a french beer that never came. I ordered sparkling apple cider, but was mistakenly served a glass of white wine. We wanted escargot for appetizer, but they were out of it. Owner’s mother took our order and suggested a tuna tartar, for which we said yes. However, it never arrived. We had two crepes, “Crepe of the Farm,” and “Brie Apple Walnut.” The crepes were extremely dry and tasteless. The chicken was cubed dry chunks of white meat without any seasoning or flavor. The brie was a couple slices not melted with a few slices of apples and several raw walnuts, very dry and a couple of bad bitter nuts unfortunately.. The salad had a balsamic dressing that was not very flavorful. When server, a young woman, finally came over to us, my husband asked for the check. She seemed surprised and knew my husband was disappointed having never received his beverage. Then the owner’s mother came over to ask how things were, and my husband explained the problems with orders, but we didn’t discuss our dissatisfaction with the food quality. It was so bad and we knew we were not going to return, so no point. The mom blamed the order mistakes on her son and apologized. However, it was she who put the order into a tablet device and struggled when she was taking it. We were disturbed that she would blame her son. She was very apologetic and sent us home with a chocolate dessert. I have not tried it. I’m just very disappointed that it was supposed to be a delicious romantic Valentines Day dinner and it was a disaster!
Cozy little cafe in a very busy hustle and bustle part of Florida. Lots of shops and events. Parking can be a challenge but once you sit, you're in a little oasis. Very charming, music playing, food is higher end breakfast but in a hole in the wall fashion. It's interesting.
