    Fruit cup - side

    Oh My, if you like steak and eggs get in here! What a great surprise, this ribeye is better than many of the local offerings for dinner! Please keep this on the menu and at 20$ it's a WIN! Great breakfast, party of four Meals drinks and tip under 100$

    Looking for something new for breakfast. Saw lots of good reviews so,we headed over. Pretty busy but we got a booth pretty quick. Cool local vibe. Looked over the menu and it all sounded good. I landed on the Country omelette with Sausage,green peppers,onions and cheddar cheese, toped with country sausage gravy Awesome omelette. Den grabbed the COUNTRY FRIED STEAK. Fried steak topped with country gravy. Delicious and cooked perfectly. Sold breakfast / brunch spot place was busy the whole time. Our sever was on pointe and took great care of us. Offered great suggestions as well.

    A couple times a month I get out for breakfast, and this is a favorite of mine. The Early Bird is a local spot, small inside with a few tables out front if you like dining outdoors. Not fancy food but very good food! A recent visit featured a Veggie Omelet and their "combo" breakfast where you make your choices from a variety of items. Being a casual spot there's a laid back comfortable vibe and the servers are as friendly as you'll find anywhere. And they are good at what they do. I can say I've never had a bad experience here.

    I happened upon this little breakfast place on my walk on Sunday. I was greeted by Lauren and she was so kind and friendly. My server, Owen, could not have been nicer and attentive in this little busy place. And sweet Jessica when I told her the ladies room was out of paper towels. She immediately took care of it. Now the food part! I had the "fit omelette" (no turkey) that was delicious and the home fries were crispy and have delicious seasoning. I treated myself to a slice of pumpkin cinnamon toast and black coffee. The early bird is clean with simple nice decor but I was told they're starting renovations 11/3/25. I sat inside but they do have outdoor seating. The all-around great experience will keep me coming back! Thank you and well done! Open mon-sun 7am-2:30pm

    Some of the food was delicious. Others just ok. Good: House Burger, omelettes, fruit side (not that melon junk, but good fruit), gravy Not as good: French toast (all I could taste was the butter), home fries Service was also ok. I ran out of water as no one checked on us regularly enough. So the best of this restaurant is 5 star. You just got to make sure you get the right stuff.

This place demands attention from the moment you walk in. My wife opted for eggs and bacon, while I went for the cheeseburger. We also shared a French toast, which proved to be the standout dish. It's important to note that this was a shared experience, as we barely managed to finish our portion. The menu offers a brunch selection that's worth exploring. Be prepared to savor every bite, as the food quality here is commendable. Service and flow are both excellent , ensuring a pleasant dining experience.

    Great experience with a twist!…read more Food 8.0 Vibe 8.9 Service 8.7 Overall 8.4 This place definitely has his own theme and vibe and it sticks to it. A straightforward menu gives a decent variety and the chef delivered on the flavor. We had the egg Benedict the Gudda grits, and the (not so) French toast. Overall, the food was delicious, but I was extremely disappointed with the "French toast" for some reason, the chef opted for not doing an egg/milk bath for their French toast, which to me is a grave mistake, who wants to dry French toast? This liberty could be excused, and tolerable for the sake of creativity and innovation, IF it was openly, shared on the menu, or by the server. However, this came to a COMPLETE surprise to me AFTER ordering and receiving it. I've never had DRY French toast, nor do I ever wish to again despite the tasty toppings and well executed cinnamon butter cream, it was still not an enjoyable experience, especially if you're expecting classic French toast. That said the eggs Benedict was phenomenal. The pork is perfectly cooked. The biscuits are light and fluffy. And the sauce was immaculate. The Gudda grits surprise me while not being creamy in the same way of grit, I've had in the past, these retained their grit structure, but it kind of melted in your mouth, providing that creamy texture and they add chopped bacon and a sweet I would guess type of reduction in just the right amount to balance the flavor of the Gudda. I do wish they had sausage and hash browns. But it's not that kind of place. My last complaint would be in the potatoes that come with the Benedict. Whatever other option, they have picked those get anything, but those ours came undercooked, and they refried them for us, and they still were just below average which for a place like this. I expected more. Overall, not a bad place. The coffee was phenomenal. I had a dirty Matcha, and it was perfectly executed. Prices aren't terrible for what you'd expect from downtown St Pete at a fancy place, so I was happy. Service was good and friendly. After I expressed my dissatisfaction with the French toast, the manager came over and offered his apologies and remove the item from my bill, even offered to bring us something else, and to have a beverage to go to make up for it. However, I was at the end of our mail and I was ready to get going with the rest of my day, so I said thank you and we departed. Overall, I will not come back for French toast but that eggs Benedict. I would definitely come back and try something else as well. Give it a shot. Just DONT get the French toast. If you like normal French toast.

    What a lovely brunch spot! Stepping into Sugar Baby Cafe was a unique experience for Seminole, FL…read more It honestly gave me that trendy coffee shop vibe you would expect to find in St. Pete, super aesthetic and very picture worthy! The vibe was very cozy, clean, and hip, mixing modern design with rattan accents and a dash of greenery. It felt clean, cute, and really thoughtfully put together! Service was great. The staff was friendly, patient, and actually took time to explain popular items without rushing me at all. Loved that!! Parking is a bit limited. It is a small lot with a simple pull-in and back-out setup right onto the road, so it can feel tight. That said, I went around 11am and it worked out just fine with no hassle. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with bacon (plus $2 extra) and homemade lemon aioli on a toasted brioche bun and wow... the presentation was next level. I definitely took way too many photos before even touching it, no regrets! It tasted as good as it looks. Taste-wise, it was sweet, fresh, and super creamy with really nice texture. I also ordered the matcha latte, which was a bit disappointing. The ratio leaned heavily toward milk, making it very milky and lighter in matcha flavor than I expected. Wait time was quick, and pricing felt fair for the quality and experience. Overall, this is such a fun spot for brunch lovers, cute café dates, or anyone just wanting a sweet treat moment. I would 100% come back again!!

When we get into town, they're always our first stop for lunch. They have a pretty extensive menu of options, but our go to is the fried grouper sandwich with American cheese and no lettuce or tomato. Our other go to is the lobster roll. Now this go around we did notice the lobster was more shredded than it was chunks which is what we've seen previously so that was a bit of a change, but overall, it was still good. We've had the onion rings before but this go round we decided to share a side of french fries and we did ask for them crispy. They were perfect. Be prepared to wait though as this location is super small and if you come during a busy season or around that lunchtime period you're most likely going to have to wait. This is not a great location for large groups. If you have more than five people in your group this is probably not the best location for you as they cannot seat more than one large group at a time. But, one thing we did notice is that you can walk up and order to go. That's a great option to have and something we may take advantage of in the future.

    We were not seated and left feeling dismissed and unwelcome…read more When we arrived, there was no one outside managing the waitlist, so we wrote our name down and waited while standing in the shade. When the host came out, she stated that she needed to "clear the area." While we understand the need to manage space, the request was directed at us and was delivered in an unpleasant, dismissive tone. She then said there would be about a 25-minute wait and that there were parties ahead of us, which we understood and accepted. However, we were later told that despite being on the list, we would not be seated because there was "no way to contact us" when our turn came and that we needed to remain in one specific spot. Given that no instructions or staff were present when we arrived, this explanation was confusing and felt inconsistent. The interaction gave the clear impression that we were not welcome to wait or dine there, so we chose to leave. Dining out should feel respectful and inclusive, and unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

Perhaps due to the windows and the kitchen, and the A/C not working as well as it could have. That was the only thing that didn't make it perfect. It was a scorching May Day too.
