Two Eggs "Your Way"
Courtney Z.

I had such a lovely, simple experience at EJ's Bayfront Cafe. I ordered two eggs your way with a coffee, and honestly--it was perfect. There's something about a well-made, classic breakfast that just hits, and this one really did. Everything tasted fresh, comforting, and exactly what I wanted. What stood out most, though, was the feeling. The whole experience felt nostalgic in the best way--like a slow morning, no rush, just good food and a warm atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I want something simple done really well.

Apple Cinnamon Stuffed French Toast

This was a small breakfast café we stumbled upon, and I'm so glad we did. The food was excellent. The crab Benedict was loaded with crab and topped with a delicious hollandaise sauce. The apple French toast was soft, flavorful, and not overly sweet. We ordered tenders and fries for our little one, but I think we enjoyed them more than she did. I never knew I could say this, but tenders were perfectly seasoned. Our server was a sweetheart and very attentive. We're glad we stopped in for a bite.

Simple French toast and eggs and as you can see, I frequent Dunkin' Donuts more than having coffee anywhere else

My second time coming here. First time went off without a hitch. Second time I was told I should be able to sit get my food fairly quick, left my hotel room walked over waited 10 minutes for a table and 25 minutes for my food. Not exactly the best Sunday.! a frequent Naples and I want to keep this in my arsenal of breakfast, but you do need to speed up the process!

Apple Cinnamon Stuffed French Toast Platter

I'm so glad we decided to come here on our last day in Naples! I ordered the Chunky Monkey platter, after seeing it pictured on Yelp. It was amazing! I've never had anything like it. It was warm waffles filled with macadamia nuts, pineapple, coconut and chocolate chips drizzled with chocolate and topped with whip cream. Very sweet! Flavorful and checked all the boxes for wanting to try something new when in Naples. It was also paired with two eggs over medium which were perfection along with the bacon. Our waiter, Ricky, was great! He shared about the iced coffee and shared the different flavors which I settled on caramel. The iced coffee was wonderful and he let us know they're refillable which was nice. My family was also happy with their meals they ordered. I had a bite of my husband's apple cinnamon stuffed French toast which was melt-in-your-mouth good!! My daughter loved her pancakes, especially because Ricky asked if she wanted chocolate chips in them. We had a great meal and we were so stuffed that we skipped lunch. The cafe is also cute and we will definitely be back when visiting Naples! A must try!

No wait if you want to sit inside today!

This place was very busy the morning we went and I was afraid we would have a long wait, but it we got a table very quickly. Our server was very friendly, and later on never let my glass get close to empty, which was awesome because it was busy. We had the bacon and blue burger and one of the Benedicts (I can't remember if it was the smoked salmon or the crab cake...eggs Benedict aren't my thing). The burger was delicious and the fries were awesome. It was some of the best blue cheese I had eaten in a long time. The place looks large from the pictures but it's actually kind of small on the inside, and it's very loud. Add to that the table beside us with some of the loudest, most obnoxious customers I've heard and that made it less than amazing, but the food and service were great!

This brunch spot was a great find! The service was quick and friendly, and the drink options were on point. Everything from classic mimosas to spiked coffees. I loved that the mimosas came in so many flavor choices; I tried the blueberry, and it was delicious. The French toast was good. Nothing mind-blowing, but still satisfying. The bacon, though, totally stole the show...crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Prices were reasonable, and there was plenty of seating, both outdoors and inside, which made for a relaxed, easy going vibe. Overall, a solid spot for a casual brunch with great drinks and quick service. Very dog friendly for well behaved dogs.

Soooo good!! The pancakes are the Best we ever had!!! Service was good. Cute place. We will definitely be back!!

Banana Banana Stuffed French Toast Platter with sausage patty
Kristen K.

Solid breakfast spot in this part of Naples! Food: banana French toast was very good! It wasn't super sweet, but just the right amount. We got the platter, which is nice to add a little extra protein and breakfast samplings to the dish. Bacon and sausage skilled was pretty solid too. It could have used a little more sausage in ours? But the potatoes were tasty and you can never go wrong with a skillet. Service: the server checked on us regularly, and the food arrived within about 15 mins of the order being placed. We were also seated immediately inside. Ambiance: indoor and outdoor seating, with most of the seating being outdoors. It's close to the water (but not on it) so it is breezy outside. We sat inside, there are a couple of small TVs along the walls (volume not on) but it wasn't very loud inside.

This is a no frills kinda place but man was it delicious. They have a little bit of everything and everything we tried was really amazing. We had the Banana stuffed French toast and it was greasy in the best way, haha. Buttery goodness. I wouldn't get that alone because it really is too much but man it checked all the boxes. I also got the avocado toast with over easy eggs and it was a great balance. The bacon was delicious; I asked for it crispy and they delivered. My husband for the huevos rancheros and he truly enjoyed them. The service was great and on point. It was 8 of us and we were in and out in less than 1.5 hours. I honestly want to go back tomorrow and try some more things.

Friendly. Didn't go over the top but then again it seemed like maybe there was a rush and only two servers were on? Didn't matter much because we got what we wanted and needed. I got the shrimp and grits. He got the standard Benedict. I got a side of fried green tomatoes. All was crazy good. Portions were enough to take most home. Food was incredibly rich, but I was happy.

POV: You're finishing your coffee at your favorite breakfast spot and a stranger steals your coffee…read more Okay so. We have been going to The Rooster in Naples for YEARS. Years. Long before it was on food network. The food? Immaculate. Never once had an issue. Today? Today changed everything. Our waitress was an angel, no notes, we love her. We're sitting there, happy, sipping our coffee, not even an hour into the meal, barely finished eating, when suddenly a completely different server materializes out of nowhere and just... puts her hands. On the WHOLE top, every inch of the top half of our coffee cups. Mid sip energy. And starts trying to take it. This was our FIRST ever interaction with this woman. First words exchanged. We say, simply: "we are just going to finish our coffees." She hears us. Denies it. And grabs the cups anyway. I look up like excuse me?? And she looks at me, dead in the eye, and goes: "Well aren't you done?" MA'AM. NO. We were NOT done. We hadn't even finished writing the tip on the receipt which, by the way, she then just SNATCHES off the table. Gone. Like a magic trick nobody asked for, and I certainly didn't order. I say, still not finished. And this is where it gets unhinged, because she goes: "well there's a wait." A wait?? For WHAT. There were FOUR tables open inside. EIGHT tables open outside. Not a single soul waiting for a seat. She said it like she was reading off a script from a restaurant that was actually busy, which plot twist it was not. Then, and I need you to picture this, she starts REACHING ACROSS ME. Full arm extension. Into my personal space. Grabbing plates. Grabbing cutlery. I am frozen. I do not know this woman. She does not know me. And yet here we are, inches apart, over a fork. Questioning if I should ask for her last health test results because we are sharing breaths like a horror movie. My companion, sensing the unhingedness of the woman gets up to go find our ACTUAL waitress, the good one, because at this point all we want in this world is to finish our coffee, leave our 30% tip (we were being SO generous, we do not play like that), and say thank you like normal diners. But does the story end there? IT DOES NOT. Because as my companion is trying to talk to our sweet waitress, coffee cup snatcher strikes again and BUTTS IN. Not once. Multiple times. Interrupting my companion mid-sentence, over and over, like she just could not let the woman finish a single thought. Louder. Meaner. Full attitude, unprompted, uninvited, unwell, unhinged. Our actual waitress, bless her, is apologizing over and over, offers us brand new coffees, offers to reseat us like nothing happened. And she was so genuinely kind about it that we almost said yes. Almost. But we were both so shaken by that point that we just... left. And the WILDEST part? This woman was TRAINING someone. Actively. In real time. Passing the torch. Teaching the next generation how to traumatize brunch customers over a coffee cup. We love The Rooster. But that experience? Left a mark. I'll send you my therapy bill Roosters.

From the moment we walked in, the hostesses and manager made us feel welcome and had us seated right away. Our server, Angel, was fantastic. He walked us through the menu, explained how many of the dishes were prepared, and made thoughtful recommendations without ever feeling pushy. We started with the octopus and fresh focaccia with honey. The octopus was exceptional--easily one of the best I've had and on par with dishes I've enjoyed at Michelin-starred and James Beard-recognized restaurants. We also shared the beet and goat cheese salad, followed by the local snapper and the ribeye cap topped with lobster claw and tail in chimichurri. Every dish was beautifully prepared and showcased the quality of the ingredients. The cocktails were well balanced (not overloaded with ice), and the Thyme on Thyme is an easy recommendation if you're looking for something light and refreshing. The wine list paired nicely with the meal as well. Watching the sunset over the water while listening to music drifting across the park made the evening even more memorable.

We arrived right when they opened so we were initially the only people there. However, that quickly changed in the next hour or 2. We were seated by the hostess, and our waiter quickly appeared. He was warm and friendly and was attentive throughout the night. They had a good selection of wines by the glass, and specialty cocktails From the summer dining specials, we all ordered different entrees. Everything was delicious.

Sounded good, so I ordered my favorite, a Cosmo, no call brands of liquor. As our dinner progressed, server came back to remind us that it was still happy hour so I ordered a second Cosmo. Imagine my surprise when I was presented a check with 2 Cosmos, at FULL PRICE PLUS AN ADDITIONAL SURCHARGE. Server then said martinis were not on happy hour. Seems like she could have explained that. Fast forward a year later and our dining group meets there again. This time I arrive early and go straight to the bar so that I can verify the happy hour policy. The bartender confirms that martinis are not on happy hour then explains that the additional surcharge is because a Cosmo has a splash of cranberry juice, so it's martini price plus. Never heard this before. I cheaped out and ordered a house pinot grigio. Regarding food, the visit a year ago was profoundly disappointing. That entree was described as pasta with a lobster tail. I expected to see a lobster tail but there were just a couple of very tiny pieces of supposed lobster tail that must have come from a just hatched lobster. Thankfully, the food served a few days ago was much better. The American Redfish entree was good enough to order again, if I were ever to go back.

While we enjoyed…read morethe food and the beautiful sunset view, our experience has been overshadowed by the sheer number of bites we received while dining outside. We left with what appears to be numerous sand flea bites covering our feet, legs, and arms. I personally have well over 100 bites, and the discomfort has continued to make the past several days of our vacation miserable. We were actively slapping and killing the fleas while sitting at the restaurant, and other guests around us were also commenting on them. I understand that I'm visiting from out of town and may not have known what to expect from dining directly on the sand. However, I have a serious concern with Turtle Club actively promoting the experience of "digging your feet in the sand" without clearly warning guests about the potential for sand fleas or explaining whether the area is regularly treated or maintained to prevent this issue. Is this something Turtle Club routinely experiences? Are the outdoor dining areas treated for insects? If this is a known issue, guests deserve to be made aware before choosing to dine outside. Unfortunately, as much as we enjoyed the food and sunset, the outdoor dining experience was simply not worth the consequences we've dealt with afterward. For future guests: bring bug spray and be prepared, or consider sitting inside. I wish we had known before choosing the outdoor experience. Turtle Club, I hope you take this feedback seriously and consider doing more to protect and properly inform your guests.
