    Salmon Benedict
    Robyn F.

    Plenty of seating. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Food was tasty & fresh. The pancake was huge & yummy, really enjoyable. The potatoes were decent & the benedict was pretty good. The bread was better than the average English muffin. Could've had a bit more smoked salmon. I'll return.

    Experience: it was a Thursday morning around 10:45. We were in this part of town after an appointment and it wasn't quite lunch time, so we figured we'd look for brunch. Looked on YELP and found this spot. Facility: This is in a strip mall on the end with some outdoor seating when we entered the building. Inside they have booths and traditional tables and chairs. It was pretty crowded as we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table to sit, which wasn't too bad. Service: 4/5 the waitress was nice but new and it showed. But she did her best... just seemed overwhelmed. However, she got our orders correct so she did her job. Food: Their menu is fantastic! Both of us had a tough time decided. I had FOMO every time a plate passed me by. Everything looked delicious. But here's what we ordered: They brought our water in a cute old fashioned milk jug... nice touch. Trifecta - 5/5 we got the waffle, scrabbled eggs and bacon. Waffle was very good. I think they could have had a second egg (maybe they normally do, but with the egg shortage they are only giving 1 egg out now). The SoCal Hash 5/5 - This was so good... it has Mexican spiced chicken, potatoes, beans, cheese with pico, avocado, and an egg on top ... of course I got mine over easy ... yum!! They serve it with 2 tortillas to make some yummy breakfast tacos... I added some chalula on top to perfect it! Overall: we WILL be back because there were too many things left on this menu to try.

    We love First Watch for a delicious breakfast. The service and food have been consistently excellent. We appreciate the coffee pot and water bottle on the table.

    Overall a good experience. Came in at around 1PM for a casual brunch. Was seated & served relatively quickly, & the host put us in a child friendly location. Food was great, pumpkin spice pancakes were large and fluffy, and everything was overall very filling. Certainly returning.

    Food was great but service was terrible. Server walked away without getting all of our drink orders, silverware was dirty and when we asked for more silverware the waitress took a long time to get it to us, also my mom ordered a juice and my mom had to remind the waitress about it and it came out when she was halfway through her meal. Ambiance is ok, definitely overcrowded so try to get there early if you're going on the weekend.

    Excellent food, fast & friendly service, and a wonderfully lit and maintained restaurant - the First Watch in the Avenue Viera shopping center became one of our favorite places to eat during our short trip to the area. The fresh pressed juice cocktails were delicious, and a great vitamin-dense starter. The coffee was very rich, and their unsweet iced tea was refreshing. When our meals came out, we wolfed them down because they were just wonderfully delicious. I got their turkey burger, and it ended up being one of my favorite turkey burgers from any location (juicy well-seasoned patty, fresh crisp veggies, and lightly seasoned avocado spread). My wife's breakfast was also prepared perfectly, and I feel like their Million Dollar Potatoes were aptly named - so good! We've since found other First Watch locations that are near where we live, and have enjoyed visiting them. The First Watch in the Avenue Viera center was an excellent representation of the chain, making a great first impression on us, as well as making regular customers out of us.

    I'm giving a four star review for our experience at this First Watch franchise. We arrived after 12pm on a Saturday and there was plenty of seating available. As we had our dog, we decided to sit outside. All the tables were taken or dirty so we waited for one to be cleaned. Not all the tables ended up being cleaned at once and so birds came in and ate of the dirty tables. Fortunately they didn't bother our seating area. Our food came out promptly and our server was quick and polite. The bathroom was a good size but was out of paper towels. Overall, we had a good experience as the food was good.

    First watch is an upscale brunch spot which does not disappoint. The food is decently priced and yummy as well. I didn't love my dish, but I did like it. I had the Parmesan prosciutto toast, the prosciutto was excellent, it melted in your mouth, but the bread got a little soggy. The arugula on the toast was tasty; adding avocado to the toast would've been a nice touch. I also had the blue power juice, it was yummy, but it would've been nice to have tasted the other fruits inside. The apple was very overpowering. Our server Dijon was very attentive , nice, and helped us with all our needs.

    Purple haze drink and green juice !  DELICIOUS!
    Mrs. D.

    The BOMB! A cozy, upscale, healthy-forward breakfast/brunch/lunch spot! I had the frittata with spring greens and rustic bread and my husband had the chorizo omelette which came with homestyle potatoes and some whole-grain bread and fresh strawberry jam. I had a kale juice and my husband had the purple haze drink, which was beautiful. Coffee was fresh and our favorite part was Joyce, our waitress! She was spectacular in every way and made our dining experience extra special.

    Had an authentic matcha today. Served in a glass too. It has a positive vibe and atmosphere. Nice…read moreambiance as well.

    **INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Prior to visiting the initial location for Bold Cup Coffee, it must be noted that 1.) I went to a Bold Cup Coffee location before, the one on Babcock St. next to Arcade Monsters which used to be their roastery and 2.) I personally know the owner, Alex. Ergo, given these facts, I am going to do my best to be unbiased when reviewing the Aveneue Viera location. But to be fair, this location is probably the endgame result of what Alex wants for his second location. Bold Cup Coffee is everything most people want in a simple coffee shop. Though an address is provided, Bold Cup Coffee (which I will simply shorthand to Bold Cup for the remainder of this review) is located on the eastern part of the Avenue Viera outer ring of stores, just south of Belk Lindsay. The ambiance is very simple yet fits to the whole decorum that the owners of The Avenue Viera are aiming to have for all of their businesses in the shopping plaza. Bold Cup, by all means, is first and foremost a coffee shop and roastery. The mainstay of their menu are coffee and tea products which includes bags of their roasted coffee beans. Out of all the products they provide, I definitely have to push for the Tres Leches Latte. It is definitely a delicious latte with its three different milk flavors. It should be noted Bold Cup does sell food, primarily bakery goods. However, the baked goods are made from other local businesses within Brevard County. For example, the cookies on sale are from The Sweet Heartist. As for hot food, Bold Cup doesn't have any on hand, but they have opened their location for another small business that sells Argentinian sandwiches and empanadas called ¡Si Che-F! Since ¡Si Che-F! doesn't have its own business page and I am unsure if they will be allowed to have one as they are sharing space with Bold Cup but probably are not named on the lease, I will give a quick review for them, here, in which their sandwiches are delicious, but seems to be preferable when toasted. The price can be a bit high not because the sandwiches, though good, are simple in nature in accordance to their pricetag. The empanadas are amazing and are priced accordingly. As for the functionality of their location, Bold Cup has a selective number of seating inside and a limited number of seating outside. It should also be noted the private back room is half wall sofas and the other half high-end tables and chairs. There is a large community table in the middle of the coffee shop which is probably meant for larger groups and families. Finally, Bold Cup is definitely "bold" when it comes to the expression of their faith in Lord Jesus Christ. I am unsure if this is considered a Christian coffee shop, but do take note that the whiteboard showcased in the front of the order counter has plenty of Holy Bible verses written on them to encourage patrons. On a sidenote, the restroom is a single-serving unisex restroom which was clean and well stocked. Finally, Bold Cup does have complimentary internet for those who may want to use the in-house web over their data plan. Ultimately, Alex did a fine job with this amazing coffee shop and roastery. For me personally, I would be going here on an almost daily basis if it weren't a bit of a drive compared to other coffee shops and kava bars near where I live. Initially, I will give Bold Cup Coffee four out of five stars, the highest rating - taking in that no business is perfect and my perchance for grace towards independent/local businesses - any mom n' pop can attain. If Bold Cup continues to be the excellent business it was on my initial visit from friendly staff, cleanliness, and dedication to the menu they provide, I will give them their fifth star for consistency in an updated rating/review.

    Bottom Line: if you're stuck here - it's a great food source…read more Had Jury Duty recently and on our morning break I went in and ordered a 2 egg, bacon and cheese on an everything bagel. They make everything when you order, no microwaved eggs or bacon. It was a good sandwich for $5 Would I ever go out of my way to go here? No, but it was a pleasant surprise while stuck at the courthouse. I was kind of disappointed that I wasn't selected - I had my lunch All picked out ;-)

    I will be honest with you all. The last time I served jury duty was more than a decade ago. Since…read morethen, I got the summons three more times. My latest time, I actually had to show up and I noticed the court house in Viera now had a cafe. I found that to be a big step forward as the last time I was there, we had to "leave the premesis" to eat. Ergo, Complex Cafe (which I will shorthand to "Complex" for the rest of the review) was a godsend. The question is if the food was good and the prices worth it. The answer is so-and-so, but it has a far better function that might possibly go beyond both. If you don't know anything about jury duty, take note that once you are on the premesis and checked in, you cannot leave unless given permission too. So if you are by chance hungry, you had to either stomach vending machine food or bring your own lunch. With Complex, you now have options. Complex is located on the northside of the courthouse just in front of the law library. It is a simple cafe with simple seating. The food is simple yet good and the prices may a bit above fair, but -- as mentioned above -- you now have options. I was able to eat a full breakfast with country fried steak, eggs, cheese, and a biscuit. You can tell a lot of the food was from pre-packaging, but it was okay as it was better than vending machine food. Ultimately, I am not saying you should go out of your way to eat at Complex. I am just saying for a where it is and the restrictions you are under when serving on a jury, it is welcome choice for food. Ergo, four out of five stars simply because of the convenience. I will remove one star simply because of the quality of food and price. Not bad, but if Ihad it my way, it could be way better.

    Been here a few times now. So far lackluster, or just ok. However, last time I was here ordered…read moreregular coffee and was served dark roast. No problem with that. I just asked to have replaced with regular, in doing so, I notice the brew time on both coffees was 6am, and it was 9:50am when I was served that coffee. Being a lifelong coffee drinker, as well as owning a coffee shop cafe, that is totally unacceptable. So, here now at Foxtail writing this review I noticed they did not put the times on their coffee. I can taste that it's not fresh, but not almost 4 hours old, like last time. Anyway, owner / manager, please address this, and don't serve old, stale coffee just to save money. Not good. I'll be watching and will continue adding more or updated reviews. On another note, your staff needs to be more lively, attentive, upbeat. They're just kind of "eh". As a person that loves the outdoors, please consider (if allowed, I know it's Viera) putting some seating out front, if possible. Please

    Well I've been here a couple times before writing this and deciding not to return…read more Entered around 9:15 AM on Saturday, and I was the only one in line with 3 barista's behind the counter. 2 of them were busy, 1 didn't appear to be doing anything. Stood as the only one in line with only 3 other customers in the building for 6 minutes before my order being taken. I ordered off the menu of a Hot Banana Gingerbread Latte at a regular size. That seemed to cause some confusion as they debated if I could order it hot. Finally they put it in the iPad and I paid. 15 minutes goes by and I'm still waiting for a singular coffee. Maybe one or two other people have ordered inside since then. Drive through was unknown. Then I heard one of the Barista's say to the other: "Oh, was the Drew one supposed to be hot?" And proceeded to pour out an iced version the had made. Despite 15 minutes earlier everyone being involved on if it even could be hot. Another 5 minutes later I get the coffee and it feels, light. Like very light. A notice an extremely thick layer of foam on top and I decide to scrape it off. The picture does it half justice here but the cup was unironically half full (or empty depending on your school of thought haha). I also heard them mess up another person order in the time I was waiting resulting in it having to be remade. At this point I took my coffee and left. Keep in mind this half a coffee was roughly $7 and their iPad asked for a tip with automatically selecting 18% if you don't adjust it up or down ‍ Overall, Yikes.

    If you're anywhere near Rockledge and don't stop at Whistle Stop Café, that's a personal mistake…read moreyou'll regret. This place is pure charm from the moment you walk in--warm, welcoming, and exactly the kind of spot that makes you believe small-town gems still exist. There's a reason they were just named Best Restaurant in Rockledge... and honestly, it's about time. Now let's talk about the real stars: the ladies who run this place. Kind doesn't even cover it. Friendly, attentive, genuine--like they actually care that you're there (wild concept, right?). The service alone would have earned five stars. But here's where they went above and beyond: I lost my wallet before heading out on a cruise. Panic mode activated. Turns out, the amazing women at Whistle Stop Café found it and safely kept it for me until I returned. Everything intact. Zero drama. Just pure integrity and kindness. So yes--great food, adorable location, and well-earned local awards. But what really makes Whistle Stop Café special is the heart behind it. This place doesn't just serve meals; it restores your faith in people. Go hungry. Leave happy. And maybe double-check your pockets--but if you don't, you're in the best hands possible.
