Bayside Cafe - Strawberry Shortcake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

My two friends and I visited for a breakfast and we were not disappointed in the least. Unfortunately, Google Maps is all sorts of confused about how to get there, so good luck! But it's worth the ingenuity! Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Ambience equally Amazing. We will come back to support a small business. Well worth all of it! read more

What a huge disappointment. We recently traveled to PCB to check out a retirement community. I prepared a list of places to eat based upon yelp reviews over 4.0. Bayside cafe was rated a 4.5 and was also recommend by people where we were staying. The outdoor seating was along the river which seemed nice, but it turned out to be just non-stop flies. Plus we were given a cheap plastic cutlery bag - like you get at a food truck. But the food...... Just horrible. Mediocre eggs, weird sausage. Keto toast drowning in butter (makes no sense). Pancakes were good and the breakfast empanadas were different, but not great - like a mystery filling. Even the waitress wasn't sure what they actually are. Meanwhile, they don't post prices online but the prices are $3 higher for all items as compared to the 2025 menus pics in yelp. Between the higher prices, cheap useless cutlery and the mediocre food this is a big AVOID. read more

the food was made fresh and was very good, the portions were very generous, and the service was pretty good for how small of a place it is it's a little difficult to find, there's a small neighborhood off the main road you have to drive through to find it. i didn't try any of the baked goods, but they all looked delicious as well m read more

Cute brunch spot by the water. It was a little tricky to find with Google Maps. We went on a busy weekend. You put your name on a list and then they call you and get you seated. Food can take a while to come since everything is made fresh. Hubby thought the meat empanadas were ok, wish they could have had more stuffing. I liked my crab cake Benedict. All the baked goods are really good. We enjoyed the cookies and the Argentine style cake slice we brought back to enjoy later. They only have bottled water so bring a drink with you while you wait on the hot summer days. read more

We absolutely love this place! The oatmeal bowl reminds us of what we had as kids and the Benedict options are extremely tasty. We've eaten here many times and it's always super delicious! Service is great also! read more

On the water and Google Maps struggles to get you here. The surface streets under the bridge work out if you are diligent. Think old Florida fishing shack meets good food. We had the French Toast and a breakfast sandwich. Good coffee and nice servers. There is a long line some times so plan on that I guess. I had a good mean and the locals that recommended it were right. It's not fancy and if you can sit inside you can beat the heat. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Bayside Cafe is off the beaten path, but it was so worth it. I had the best French toast Monty Cristo sandwich EVER! My GF had an omelet with crab and shrimp. She said it was the best omelet she has ever tasted. I wouldn't know about the omelet because she refused to share a bite. LMAO! That omelet looked so delicious! I would definitely visit them again. Lastly, we got our food to go, and it was piping hot even after we got back to our hotel. read more

Stopped by based on reviews, however after sitting and waiting for someone to greet us and watching multiple tables come in and be greeted, we left. First time I've ever left a place but twenty minutes of being told one minute while helping people who came after us is wild. One lady apologized saying it was limited staff but that doesn't explain the experience. read more

Long waits (35 mins just to sit plus 1 hour after ordering for food) for cold food. Very disappointed. The food that we did receive was tasty but cold. There were two waitress for the whole place and they were extremely overwhelmed. The food is $4-6 higher than the menus posted online. Not worth it at all. read more

Great food ! this is a small Family run business, excellent food and nice spot under the bridge. read more

Oh my goodness this place is amazing! Charming little breakfast dive, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The service was fantastic, very attentive without hovering. The food?! Ohhhhhhh it was so good. French toast was off the charts, my steak & cheese omelette was perfect, the home fries were delicious. Definitely a new go-to in PCB read more

Something weird happened here. Mystery pretty good before, now totally gross gamey meat and greasy empanadas.

The food was fantastic. Our waitress was so sweet and so much fun. I even enjoyed a mimosa for my birthday. We all enjoyed our breakfast meals and atmosphere. read more

This was near impossible for Waze & Apple Maps to find for some reason & we almost gave up. So glad we didn't. (Try navigating to Boondocks Restaurant just across road from it.) Anyway, looks like a small shack with outdoor seating but there's a cozy inside dining area with 10-12 tables. We ended up here twice during vacay week. Day 1, I got Bananas Foster pancakes (huge w/ multiple dollops of fresh whipped cream). Wife got Monte Cristo sandwich. Both delicious & what appeared to be the only server was capably whirlwind-ing around the place keeping everyone tended. Only knock is they were out of hot black tea but wife said coffee was delicious. Day 2, I got the 2+2+2, under the allegedly "smaller plate" menu: 2 eggs, 2 bacon & 2 French toast. Still took some home. Wife got the special, cranberry orange French toast - again good. With an Argentinian owner, it doubles as a bakery as well - we were just too full to order extras. read more

Absolutely awesome hidden gem. The food was amazing and the service was even better. Our waitress, Ms. Pam was wonderful. Great spot on the bay with great views of the water and wildlife. Highly recommend this place. read more

Excellent food and service... a bit confusing to locate (GPS is wild), but so worth the effort.

Recommended on FB as a great breakfast place. Many had not heard of it so we "Seek and found" very pleased. Wrote it up on FB site " Hole-in -the/wall-cafe, service/ food variety/ food was excellent. Season and off season days/time vary so look it up . Will return read more

Bayside Cafe - Sitting outside eating breakfast.. great place - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

The food is expensive and only OK, the Bay Cristo should be billed as a french toast sandwich for accuracy. The Meat Lovers empanada was by far the best thing we ate and it wasn't great. My wife thought it was exceptional. All the condiments are made in advance because my sour cream had the water on top. The cookies are exceptional especially the raspberry tart. The view would be beautiful except it overlooks a broken down dock and barge. There are plenty of ducks roaming the grounds so if you love animals like that or have small children they will be entertained. Avoid the coffee and lattes, the syrups are mostly sugar free (which we were unaware of when we ordered), look like they have been sitting awhile, and come from a discount store like Homegoods. It was extremely busy but it is also spring break in Panama City Beach. Not sure if this was just an off day or the typical service. I will definitely try again in the future and make a final decision then. read more

I hate giving a bad review because the food LOOKED very good but we left before even trying it. I was excited to try this place based on good reviews so my boyfriend and I went last Sunday morning for breakfast. When we stepped inside, there were a few parties in front of us. We were not greeted or acknowledged by any staff and the 2 waitresses working walked right past us several times, appearing too busy for us and making us feel like we were just in their way. They were both saying very unprofessional things and complaining about how busy they were. Still, no one explained what we were supposed to do. Do we sit? Do we order food at the register then sit? No clue. After 20 minutes of standing up front with several other waiting customers who were also confused, we left and went to Waffle House read more

Nestled back by the bay, this place has a homey feel and has the most amazing breakfast we've had in a long time. You can tell there is heart in the cooking and the service makes you feel like family! We would visit this place again, the next time we visit PCB! 10/10 read more

Blueberry French toast was good and the empanadas was really good as well. Vanilla latte was not very good at all. Zero coffee taste. Very small and to the point. "Off the beaten path" but $75 for breakfast was just nuts. read more

TERRIBLE service. We had two tables. One table waited an hour and 15 minutes just to get their drinks. We knew it would be a wait based on what the frustrated patrons outdoor were telling us, but I have never once waited over an hour for drinks. So terribly unorganized. read more

We wanted to try something new & local for a birthday breakfast. The reviews were great for the Bayside Cafe so we gave it a try Sunday. We had our dog with us so the outside seating was a plus and the beautiful weather was fantastic! My husband and I split an order of the Meat Lovers Omelet. It included a choice of home style potatoes, hash browns, taters tots, cheese grits + a bread (various toast options or a biscuit). We opted for the home style potatoes and the biscuit. It was a wonderful meal and our server was friendly and attentive. The two of us ate for $14.99 before I added the slice of birthday cake for around $8; it was money well spent! The slice of carrot cake was awesome and enough for 3 servings: Can't wait to return the next time we are in the area. read more

The food and service here is top notch!! Large portions, everything seasoned just right and our food came out super quick!! Family owned and friendly. Eating right next to the water was so nice, and I love how secluded this place is. If you get anything, get the southwest omelet, it is massive and SO DANG GOOD. read more
