Very nice people that work here. Good food and a lot of it. Hear they are opening up for dinner soon. You should check them out.

Ate here for lunch 12/17/25, two of us. Service was SLOW, my party got burnt toast on the bottom side, and cook deliberately served with burnt side down. Told server, no discount. Potato pancakes are NOT pancakes, but silver dollar sized fried hash browns! Only good eating was the fried green tomatoes and omelet. Will not return, and not sorry! read more

Great friendly service by Natalie & wonderful food! My husband had the Denver Omelet & home home fries. The omelet was delicious & the home fries were done perfect-not over cooked! I had the 3 crepes with strawberry cream cheese - so good! I added a side of bacon which was also cooked to perfection! Not burnt, not undercooked . The restaurant its self was very clean, everything looks new & even the bathrooms were clean & pretty! They are offering dinners for a time so we will be going back for dinner Friday night . read more

This is supposed to be a bakery, but when I sent my husband to get me a croissant, it came back frozen. Doesn't even look home baked, like they had a package of them in the freezer and took one out to slice it. I refuse to eat it. Gross! read more

So, so, so good! We stopped in for the bakery driving by and were so impressed with the staff, baked goods and menu that we made sure to come back the next day for brunch. Firstly, the chef has immense attention and care for their food. It is evident in the flavors, the presentation, and the fresh quality. The four of us all loved our various appetizers and meals. Between us we had the southern omelette, the corned beef hash breakfast, the spinach salad, a special made hamburger salad, potato pancakes and smothered fries. LOVED my spinach salad with grilled chicken added and the potato pancakes have the best spices. Oh and don't forget the coffee...it's robust. This place is definitely going to be on our must-visit list every time we come to Inverness. read more

We had a very pleasant breakfast experience at Central Cafe and bakery. Our server was very nice and attentive. We didn't have to wait long for our food. I had the Denver omelette which was delicious and my husband had the biscuits and gravy which he also enjoyed. The coffee was good and wasn't your typical watered down cup of diner coffee. The place is very clean and looks freshly painted. The ambience has a nice modern country feel to it. We will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu. read more

My two experiences here have been wonderful. I have had lunch and breakfast there and both meals had generous portions and the quality of the food was excellent. The service is great, too. If you love pastries, they have the best around and all made there. The restaurant is clean and light and airy thanks to all the windows. My friend and I will return again and again. read more

Party of six for Sunday breakfast. A little overpriced for the product. Two egg omelet $13 was ordered with cheese and spinach. No spinach. She ate it with no return. Biscuits and gravy was well received as was the French toast. Two eggs sunny side looked small on the plates they use. Arriving late my wife had a small fruit cup, i had a blueberry muffin with real blueberries but served cold Adding two coffees came to $14.31.... Someday we will try them again but not soon.... read more

This place was great until it changed from Cinnamon Sticks to Central Cafe. Food is now mediocre at best. Service is slow. I was there two days in a row and watched people walk out both days because they had not been seated. Will not go there again and do not recommend it. read more

I own a cafe and bakery in the northern states and always shop local when possible! This spot was a huge disappointment from the get go! The service was awful and the menu description vs what we actually received was not even close. Don't waste your time and money! read more

First time in since the new incarnation. Breakfast was good. Coffee was good. The espresso machine was not working and they were out of croissants, even though the place was empty at about 10:30 am. The French omelette could have been taken from good to great with fresh herbs. Service was friendly and the menu is interesting, so will go back for another try. I brought a chocolate crioissant home and it was nasty, I threw it in the garbage. It did not resemble a croissant, but rather was gooey and heavy. Wish I would have tried it in the restaurant, I would have sent it back. We did not try any other bakery items, though they looked good. read more

Everything was amazing from the moment we walked in there was plenty of parking warm and inviting setting every bit of the food was amazing the coffee the tea everything was super fresh and I usually order a little bit of everything so I had eggs grits bacon biscuit french toast potatoes my husband had steak and eggs and let me tell you everything was amazing we went back the very next morning and did it again! Can't wait to make a trip back up here also the service was outstanding! read more

First things first. The trip from SW Ocala is well worth the drive. When you head to the door we experienced smiling faces leaving with contentment and joy which is a fraction of what I experienced. When we entered it looked freshly remodeled with cleanliness in mind and a functional floor space. Welcoming is what we experienced. The mimosas were perfect! The fried green tomatoes were perfectly breaded with remoulade sauce to top them with. Our meals were so tasty and decent with portions more than filling. The California breakfast was tasty and well compiled with love. The onion rings are to die for, also perfectly battered. The sweet potato fries perfectly cooked. The Croque Mondieur was amazing. I added Tomatoe and bacon with syrup to top. My only complaint is that I haven't been here before. National advertising would be great for your hotel and amazing kitchen. I look forward to being in the area again to experience the food and staff all over again. The onion rings are to die for also perfectly battered. Staff shout outs to Lexi, Seth, the chef, the manager and the owner. We are grateful for the experience and suggest that everyone visits at least 3 times a week. read more

Decided to try out the new place, since we loved Cinnamon Sticks so much, but we were quickly disappointed. The atmosphere gives a very cafeteria vibe, empty. The wait staff, while proficient, were all about business, so be prepared to give quick answers. Prices were different from one menu to the other, we asked our waitress about it and she stated they had new menus printed but the prices didn't get changed, so she was changing them manually. They've barely been open a month and already ate raising prices. My husband ordered a breakfast skillet, it came in a bowl and was extremely greasy. Thankfully they took his meal off the ticket without any problems. I had the Belgium waffle, with a side of eggs and bacon, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Unfortunately I believe this new place will land on my 1'r list. read more

My husband, son and I ate at this restaurant for breakfast on Mother's Day. The food was great and, equally important and being a busy day, the service was great. All the wait staff we encountered were very professional-our waitress was Lexie, and she did a super job! This was our first visit and we'll definitely be back! read more

Food was cold also took 30+ minutes to get food and 20+ minutes to get my drink. Feel like this place isn't the same anymore been coming here my whole life read more

This venue used to be Cinnamon Sticks Restaurant . I went to a soft opening and the place has been upgraded nicely. Bright, clean, and comfortable. The muffin tasted fresh and delicious. There are several interesting international offerings on the menu, in part, reflecting the owner's Germanic heritage. This new eatery is worth visiting. read more

Excellent Greek omelet, delicious coffee! A very healthy breakfast. We love pastries, but we tried to avoid them. But the pastry case has some beautiful items that I am sure are delicious if you can afford the calories. Great servers and nice decor. We plan to come back for lunch sometime soon. read more
