We had good food here and were seated quickly. The portion sizes were large. I had the chilaquiles and it could have fed 3 ppl. My niece had the kids pancakes and she also had a good sized portion. The matcha was very tasty. The parking lot is small so plan accordingly. Would definitely return to try other things.

Never disappoints! This time I got the Taby salad and it was delicious!! The service was great and it's our go-to brunch place.

This spot must be for tourist solely. It popularity is not even with the food they serve. Upon arrival we were told we had a 20 minute wait which was fine. The service was okay - server was busy so we had to wait a little to order. Unfortunately our was incorrect so when we had to correct it took a long time.

Can accommodate large parties. Fairly busy at brunch times thus making wait times long. All food and coffees are great! Will definitely return for brunch.

Chilaquiles
Brittany A.

My absolute fave spot for breakfast on SPI! They have the best chilaquiles I've ever had and super tasty lattes. This is a must stop for me when I visit SPI.

The biscuits and gravy
August M.

The service was great the mocha had a lot of flavor profiles that made it better then I expected and the biscuits and gravy the first but it melted in my mouth the gravy was more peppery then usual and the decorations gave of a Texas food restaurant

Came for brunch on a Sunday. Our group was quickly sat outside. Food was good and so was the iced coffee. Their juice menu is really good too... didn't get a pic of that.

We stopped by Josephine's Kitchen on our last day at SPI after seeing all the buzz on social media. The place was packed, but we were lucky enough to get seated right away. The menu had plenty of tempting options, but my husband and I both went with the chicken and waffles and added a side of hash browns. We couldn't resist also ordering the pancakes to try. We each had an iced coffee to go with our meal, and it was delicious. The chicken and waffles did not disappoint crispy, flavorful, and a generous portion. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty too, but after digging into the main dish, we ended up boxing most of them to go. The food took a little while to come out, but considering it was a full house, that was expected. Overall, it was worth the stop and definitely lived up to the hype!

Not one berry in the crepe...

We were a party of eight. Service was good and everyone enjoyed their breakfast ... except me I ordered crepes because of the discription " stuffed with a medley of berries" I got two crepes with a banana and Nutella and one small strawberry sliced atop. The chief needs to honor the menu

Avocado toast with poached eggs and hash browns. Delicious!
Casey T.

The food here is so good and the coffee is delicious. Prices are reasonable and we will definitely be back when in South Padre.

It gets PACKED so be prepared. But worth it Large menu but so good, we went for breakfast and got the ham egg sandwich (HUGE) and some platter pictured and it was gobbled up. In fact, that's why I don't have a picture of the ham and egg sandwich because I just dive right in Ambiance is classic diner - loud, packed in, but everyone is happy

Ranchero omelet
Pedro R.

I had the ranchero omelet. It was amazing, soo good! My coffee cup was huge so it was perfect. No more asking for refills constantly lol We got seated quickly. Coffee was hot and delicious

This was my first time on South Padre Island. We decided to eat breakfast at Josephine's Kitchen. The place was packed so we expected a wait; not too bad maybe 20mins and they text you when your table is ready. The wait staff was attentive and quick to turnover and clean tables. They have a good selection of American and Tex Mex options. We decided on your standard American breakfast. Everything was freshly prepared. The restaurant has a good selection of flavored Mimosas. And did I mention you get a complimentary pic and you can also purchase a framed souvenir pic as well. Next time I'll try a more Tex Mex breakfast option.

Came here because the coffee looks amazing and it did not disappoint!…read more The latte and cappuccinos look visually appealing but if you're looking for a real cappuccino this might not be for you. It definitely seems like they just put a bunch of foam on top but it still tasted good. The waffle is also crispy and fluffy. The salon lox bagel is also so pretty but the large onion slices were too much. Service was great and they do get really busy.

During a quick weekend getaway to South Padre Island, I treated myself to brunch at Yummies Bistro…read moreafter seeing all the raving reviews online and it did live up to the hype. I arrived around 10:30am on a Friday, and although the restaurant was packed, was seated immediately at the bar. Our server greeted me promptly, took my drink order, and returned with my Spanish Macchiato. It was easily the highlight of the meal--absolutely five-star worthy. Not only was it Instagram-worthy, but it tasted just as good as it looked. Creamy, rich, and infused with notes of Mexican chocolate and cinnamon, it was one of the best specialty coffees I've had in a while and the artistry was incredible. For brunch, I ordered the CLEO (a lox bagel with egg) and the SPI Breakfast Platter. The CLEO had great flavors--the smoked salmon was fresh. My biggest critique was that the soft bagel, warm egg, and lox lacked a bit of textural contrast. Even so, the individual components were delicious. The SPI Breakfast Platter was hearty, well-executed, and exactly what you'd hope for from a classic breakfast. I'd love to come back the next time I'm in South Padre and try their lunch menu, the dessert case was very enticing.

The atmosphere was fantastic, especially with the ocean breeze coming through. We ordered the steamed mussels, the grilled red snapper sandwich, and the grilled red snapper entrée. Our favorite dish was the red snapper sandwich. It tasted fresh and had more of a homestyle feel rather than something overly polished from a professional kitchen, which we really appreciated. Honestly, everything tasted fresh, comforting, and well prepared. The service was also incredible throughout the night. The only slight issue we had was spotting a cockroach crawl from under one of the chairs when we pulled it out. However, considering the restaurant is basically right on the beach and outdoors, insects are somewhat expected, and it honestly didn't take away from the experience for us. Overall, great atmosphere, great food, and a really enjoyable dinner spot in South Padre.

We both ordered the two-egg breakfast with eggs over medium, but what we received was closer to raw, with excessively runny whites. The hash browns were cold, greasy, and so hard they were nearly inedible. While we appreciated the wonderful service and atmosphere, the quality of the food left a lot to be desired. When a restaurant struggles to prepare something as basic as eggs and hash browns, it's hard to justify returning. Unfortunately, the great view and service weren't enough to make up for such a disappointing meal.
