**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Some of you know that I am often brought to historic downtowns and villages in hopes of "letterbox seeding" them. As I get close to concluding Historic Downtown Melbourne/Melbourne Main Street, I am moving both south to Sebastian Riverview Area and north to the Eau Gallie Art District. Today, I decided to further check out the Sebastian Riverview Area and it looks like I'll be getting more done here as I discover more "mom n' pop" shops. One of the restaurants in the area I've been to before is Cafe Latte da. Located on the northside of the Sebastian Riverview Area on the riverside of US-1 (across the street from The District), Cafe Latte da is a smallish shop ran by two women. It is a quaint coffee shop that looks like stepping into grandma's house, well, at least the view you'd think seen on classic television, especially on Lifetime. The women are very kind. Very friendly and admirable and I had such a nice conversation with them. As for the food, it was delicious for what they have. Definitely a place you want to support. Now for the overall criticism. As much as I like this place, I most stress critical points that may be a factor for other patrons. For starters, the two women seem to be the only ones running this place, so there is a layer of grime often associated with homes ran by older people. Each menu had a bit of stickiness to it. For me, not a problem. But I know it can be an issue for others. It is quite evident things need to be wiped down. You can especially see crumbs on certain displays. Next, the food menu is good, but can be limited given the limits they have. Take that as you may, but so far, everything they had served me was delicious which is the more important factor in my opinion. Ultimately, I am going to give an overall rating of three out of five stars. It is good to go here if you can be graceful on some things. But there are some, especially some of my friends who are germiphobes and get uppity if a restroom doesn't have a means to open the door without using your hands. Still, give these ladies and their coffee shop some love. They are pillars in expressing and progressing the community with all the local artists displaying their art, events, and activities they support. I truly hope someone can give them the assistance they need because this place is great, but I can sense there can be issues others might see, especially with certain priviledges we Americans have when it comes to eating out.,

Asked for a long roll, they dont do that, because it's only one chicken breast. First of all, $13.99 is a tad high, especially for a sandwich on a round roll (They say Kaiser I say hamburger bun). It's pricey, but the place is nice and the quality should be good, right? Not so fast. First bite I found the chicken to be very stringy, second bite I was unable to break the chicken off the rest of the breast. I brought it inside and asked for a refund. They were decent about it but not pleased. I paid on a Credit card and they gave me cash back (But kept $1 from the tip). To be honest when you charge that much you better be giving highest quality available. In their defense buying chicken breast recently has been a challenge.

There were only two of us at the gas station, me and one other person. I had some issues with the pump as it was running very slowly, but eventually I was able to fill up my tank with the help of the cashier who came out to look at the problem. I went to wash my hands in the restroom because I got gas on them and was talking to the cashier about some recommendations for good Jamaican food in the area, but they informed me that there is none. During our conversation, they mentioned a fried chicken place called Maryland down the street, so I decided to go there. In our conversation, I learned that they serve food at this location. For breakfast, they have eggs and sausage sandwiches with various options, and for lunch, they have subs and burgers. They actually have a pretty extensive menu with different types of food. While I was standing there talking to the chef, another customer came in and commented on how good the sandwiches were. I visit this area every couple of weeks, and I will definitely try Maryland next time I'm here. I found everyone at the location to be friendly and helpful. They have only been in business for about a month. The thing I like about the place is that it is very clean inside and out. The gentleman working in the restaurant area is an accomplished chef, so don't hesitate to ask him to make you something special. You might get lucky and he'll do it. I actually can't wait to go back there and try some of their other food. He raved about his hamburgers, so in my mind, it's "challenge accepted". I'm always up for a good burger, no matter where it is. The ambiance was great, the service was great, and the restaurant area was very clean. It was just a good all-around experience. I think you all should give it a try. Get back to me and let me know what you think of my review, and tell me if I nailed it.

I got toppings on toppings, they lady had to wrap some tukery meat around the top of the sub in an attempt to hold it together. They top so much good stuff on this sucker. Half way through my half sub I just opened her up and ate like the pig I am. This sub is a NO HOLDS back kind of sandwich. I am so full I might get sick and that usually only happens when I eat donuts because I have very little self control when it comes to food I enjoy. Didn't cheap out with the bacon! Most places give you like to bacon strips. I had bacon crunch in every bite. If you are ever traveling on US1 thought this area I highly suggest getting gas and a sub. If you get all the peppers you'll have some gas also.
