Great stop off I-10. Local place with a southern charm. Had the Waldorf Salad and didn't disappoint. Was looking for something in the area and off the highway that wasn't fast food. Prices are fair and desserts are home made You can't go wrong here. Order in the back and they bring your food out to you. Friendly service and atmosphere. read more

The Downtown Cafe has excellent sandwiches and sides. The staff is friendly and many locals stop here and that is always a good sign. I highly recommend you give them a try. read more

The sandwich I got was excellent. I got a chicken wrap and it was just as good or better than some I have had. The customer service was good and the small town feel of the place makes you feel like you are home read more

Friendly atmosphere, good food & prices. Love the desserts. Glad we have this little cafe in our town. See ya soon!

We have found our favorite spot in Live Oak! The Chicken Salad is amazing, and I am super picky about chicken salad. I have tried this place 4 times and everything has been perfect! Their soups are amazing, the sandwiches are fresh and made to order. It does get super busy around 12pm so be prepared to wait a bit. But it is sooo worth it. And the Ladies are sweet as can be! read more

Service was timely. Women were appropriately friendly. One of the only places where you can find soup on the menu. I was puzzled about the coffee offerings no real expresso machine but maybe tea is the thing. Quaint digs. The reason for the three stars, not a home baked muffin and my son said the Rueben was a bit off point. read more

Fresh ingredients, friendly service, and a super cozy dining area, but almost zero vegetarian options. The Veggie Sandwich felt like an afterthought that checked off a box. I'm not saying they need to start having grilled tempeh or faux meat options, but something as simple as hummus or avocado would go a long way to fill in the gaps. read more

In our small town there is very few places to eat but I must say this is one of the best!! Everything is absolutely delicious!! From homemade desserts to fresh homemade soups daily! Fresh salads, to best sandwiches ever!! A must eat!!!! read more

Pleasantly surprised when we walked in the door. Much larger than it looks from outside. Comfortable seating and super clean. Order at counter, get your own drinks and they bring you your food. They have coffee, soups, salads and sandwiches. Delish. If you want a nice, fresh soup and sandwich....this is the place for you. Open 10:30 to 2:30 Mon thru Friday. Closed Saturdays. read more

Good food nice people and as others have said a little slow but so is Live Oak. Worth the visit

Hidden in this small town is one of the premiere sandwich shops in the country. The Paris and The Brittanica are hands-down two of the best sandwiches you'll ever eat. I've been searching for a better sandwich shop in the US for 10 years and have yet to find one. I drive hours out of my way any time I have a chance to eat here. Unreal. Road-trip worthy. read more

My wife and I are new residents to the area and stumbled upon this Cafe about two weeks ago. It has become one of our favorite places in Live Oak. The food is fresh and tasty! I am currently hooked on the reuben sandwich and my wife loves the chicken salad, plus a potato salad side. The ladies provide quick, friendly service! If you are hungry while in Live Oak, you will not be disappointed!! I am sure this will easily become a weekly lunch spot for us. read more

Don't eat here if pushed for time. Each sandwich and salad is made to order. The food is very good and worth the wait. I had the chipotle chicken wrap, which was tasty and not overly spicy or mayonnaise-y. It was a bit expensive compared to typical sandwich shops, but the quality is better than average. Portions are generous, too. read more

Food was great. Atmosphere was really beautiful. However they could be a little more friendly. But overall it's a nice place. read more

Great food and service walked in wasn't expecting much but after I sat down had a sandwich (which I must say best Ruben and potato salad in town) and soup...will definitely be back! read more

Good local option for sandwiches, wraps, and salads. Service can take a few minutes, but is generally prompt. Their daily sandwich specials are tasty and are a good value as well. Some of the sides leave much to be desired. Fruit salad and mac and cheese are actually canned fruit cocktail and kraft stovetop mac and cheese. Opt for a soup and sandwich combo instead. Coffee options are limited as well. Cookies are quite tasty. Not open on weekends. read more

They will make any sandwich you can imagine. Good tea and coleslaw accompany! Every order freshly made. Nice ladies making all the food! read more

Great salads, soups, and sandwiches. Everyone loves the Red pepper and Gouda bisque, it is one of the best soups I have ever tasted. If you are in town, it is the best place to stop for lunch, especially if you want a fresh meal. read more

They claim that they can makes espresso drinks, but they don''t have an espresso machine. All they have is a pod coffeemaker. This is not an espresso machine! Near as I can tell, there is no espresso in Live Oak. Java Jax is closed, while the listing for Publix having a Peet's coffee shop is patently incorrect. read more
