    the breakfast menu
    Pat M.

    This is the 2nd Canopy Road Cafe that we've dined at in Tallahassee and each has been excellent! The first was on Apalachee and this one was at Capital Circle. We were there early on a Sunday morning and while it was already crowded, we didn't have a wait. The food was delicious! We started with a basket of biscuits, then had orders of omelettes and French Toast. Everything was prepared well and coffee and tea were excellent! It's pretty cool that these restaurants were started by FSU students. They obviously saw the need for breakfast spots and it looks like they now have 5 locations. Next time down here we need to visit another one!

    Nice little breakfast spot. It was busy but still quick on a Sunday. We had their skillets and were very satisfied. The veggies in my beebee were all fresh, and the country fried steak in the skeeter was nice and crispy. Coffee wasn't the best, but food was very good!

    Great and friendly staff. Large portions for breakfast. The funky monkey cakes (pancakes) and fried green tomatoes were phenomenal!

    It's ight for a quick bite. Well, our waiter was a little standoffish... he was there but not really. Someone else served us our food. Husband enjoyed his burrito. My skillet was good. I got bacon in it though and it was extremely fatty and I did not like that. Sourdough was good. Hot tea was good. Could use a little TLC and cleaning but it was a good spot.

    Great service and atmosphere. The food considered healthier and also tasty. A cafe will visit again when in the area.

    Buffalo Chicken Omelet
    Emily G.

    I came here a few weeks ago and I was SO impressed! This is the cutest breakfast cafe in Tallahassee! So why is this place so special?! 1. Awesome food- I ordered a Buffalo chicken omelet with home fries and a biscuit. The food came out quickly and tasted delicious! I was really impressed by the ability to have your omelet made with egg whites. Plus this omelet was filled with multiple cheeses which perfectly complimented the hot chicken. Home fries were crisped to perfection and the biscuit was equally create. 2. Creative menu-from the omelets to the pancakes, I want to try everything on this menu! Great job at making your food delicious but also fun! 3. Great space-there is both outside and inside seating. I always appreciate some outside seating during this COVID pandemic! Overall, this is a great place and I will definitely be coming back soon! Keep in mind when you come that the parking is very limited and the inside seating is a bit crammed if you are nervous about indoor seating, definitely opt for outside. But outside only consists of two person tables. Staff also wear masks, so that's a plus!

    This is the third location of this local breakfast/lunch chain I've visited. The food is consistently creative, delicious and satisfying. This particular store lacks the ambiance of what I assume to be their original location, on Monroe, and seems a bit more crowded than the one on Apalachee Parkway, but the food and service are 100% on point. We were warmly greeted and immediately seated. The server did an awesome job, from start to finish. Great cup of local Lucky Goat coffee. I had the monte cristo with a fruit cup on the side side. There's no way I could eat it all, even though it was absolutely delicious. My wife had the breakfast burrito with a side of hash browns, which was also fantastic... and very filling. (Personally, I'd add jalapeños to the burrito, if I was to order it, but she was thrilled with it). Bottom-line, you can't go wrong with Canopy Road if you're in Tallahasee for breakfast or brunch and okay with non-alcoholic beverages, because that's the one thing they're lacking.

    Menu is full of crazy delicious-sounding stuff!
    Vicki R.

    My first impression was "cute, diner vibe" but then I looked at the menu and specials and realized this is no typical diner! I ordered the Doc's Usual from the Healthy Side menu and it was fresh and delicious with egg white s and spinach, 2 turkey sausage patties, wheat toast, and delicious fresh fruit of pineapples, strawberries, and blueberries. My companion had an egg platter with 2 eggs, hash browns, bacon, and toast. I will definitely come back when I have time in the day to nap after a big breakfast meal to try one of their pancake breakfasts (Fat Elvis pancakes!!) or their Animal Cracker pancakes.

    Met friends here for lunch and we enjoyed it! The service was fast and they had a large menu. Everything from breakfast to lunch to dessert pancakes. We tried a variety of their lunch options and everyone was pleased with their meals. The portions were plentiful and the food was fresh. Masks are required inside and all of the servers were wearing masks.

Thirdly: the manager(?)came out with a floor scraper, and proceeded to successfully scrape the sticky gunk off of the floor, leaving a pile of it there for a waitress to clean up ...with customers sitting in that area, trying to eat their food! This was disgusting! The food was mediocre, as most restaurants in Tallahassee are, but the bacon is baked, making it very crispy, which was the only good thing I can say about the place. They should shut this place down and deep clean everything- replace ceiling tiles, repaint, scrape and refinish the floors, and steam clean textiles. I can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like! We will not be visiting this restaurant ever again! My hair reeked from it after leaving! Yick!

We ordered their special fruity yummy drink. It was good, but 3 sips at $10 or $12 and it's gone? WTF! Really. Look at my photos. Tons of crushed ice. Waste of time and money. Prime Rib sammy was good, enough for 2. We got 2 sides, one came with. Collars were good but coukd be better. Ive had better locally and in Firt Lauderdake. Grits were creamy. Added Salt/Pepsi to taste. So overall it's ok. I think they get away with medoicre Southern because there's no challenger in town thats this vibe. So you pay for the dine in atmosphere etc, but the food 8s all middle of road. Now, i will admit Im a foodie from a harsh location, Ft Lauderdale, makes you tough because we eat everything from all cultures, so you gotta bring your A game, and we travel alot. You can do medoicre Mexican in an suburb where only Mexicans come to clean house, so going to get a taco or nachos os badic in some areas. But we travel to where Mexicans own it, eat it, and barely speak English. Thats authentic. So it's true here! Its a great place for Southern Comfort food, but we are always underwhelmed with their execution. On the first visit, crab cake stack. Average. Devil eggs were basic and disappointing. Unsure how you cant do well on a basic dish. Creamy. No kick flavor. It would be nice is the could level up their execution. The menu reads great, but we are consistently just like "OH, ok. Descent." So definitely visit. Expect average, just ok. If you arent Southern, this will be great for you, as you have no reference point. Don't go in like you are going to be transplanted to the South. Its average execution. Like creamy cheese grits but nothing extraordinary. I've had grits in North Carolina, Sunny Pointe, you might eat a finger scooping up the shrimps and grits. Definitely worth a visit. Its famiky friendly. I think you pay 20% for the atmosphere. Ckean, cute decor. Love the twigs etc, branches. The porch sitting feel. You saw parents and kids, you could tell it's back to school. Today, 8/15, they were low on waiters. So took a long time for anyone to check back on us. But you could see other unhappy tables, one guy yelling at Mgr, so maybe some slippage in this upstart.

There's an additional large dining room at the end of the building and they have created a nice outdoor space as well. What may be hard to come by when they are busy is a parking space.
