Monkey Morning Cafe is a locally owned all day breakfast and diner restaurant located in Daytona…read moreBeach. This is definitely the kind of place that the locals frequent and that's exactly what my dining companion and I look for. The decor is very simple and welcoming, and there are monkeys, racing memorabilia, and other tchotkes that adorn the shelves on the walls. Service is very prompt and friendly. We definitely felt at ease here. I ordered the two egg breakfast which included two eggs anyway you want, toast and one side item. I substituted a biscuit, which was definitely worth the change and requested hashbrowns. The meal was filling, and the hashbrowns were perfectly cooked! My dining companion ordered avocado toast, but after seeing my hashbrowns decided to order a side of hashbrowns for themselves! They were that good! This is definitely the kind of place we would return to if we are in the area.

I found this place on Yelp after getting off a cruise in Port Canaveral and heading back to…read moreJacksonville. We typically go to a place in St. Augustine when we do this cruise trip several times per year but decided to change it up. I will say the guy who answered the phone and was also our waiter, was very nice, but thought they were 2 miles off 95 when they are actually 4 miles, but it was a straight shot and worth it. Small locally owned place, which is what we love, and the food and service is good. We started with the pigs in blankets for my hubby and son and they enjoyed them. I'm a vegetarian so we also tried the fried pickles and those were the star of the show! Absolutely delicious! ( I forgot to photograph those two dishes unfortunately). Hubby had the club with fries and thought it was OK, but not great. The meat seemed a bit cheaper quality. Our son had the Cuban sandwich with fries and thought it was good. I had the garden omelette minus the onions, wheat toast and hash browns. The omelet was very good unfortunately the hash browns tasted like meat though so I didn't eat those. I'm sure everything is cooked on the same griddle. I also had a mimosa. They serve their breakfast and lunch menu all day during hours. This spot is a perfect little family owned place with great service and food. They were on a wait list when we left. I would recommend you check them out!

The breakfast potatoes were cooked to perfection! The other persons in my party got an omelet, French toast, and chocolate chip pancakes. I was the only one who didn't finish (I was full). The staff was friendly and the service was quick! Parking is confusing but the staff inside reassured that where we parked was good. We were on vacation and to our disappointment we didn't get Adam's Egg the first day but literally on our way to the airport! Definitely worth a visit (or two)

My wife and I are in Daytona Beach to attend her nephew's graduation from college. Staying at the…read moreHilton, we decided to walk to Adam's Egg for breakfast, just over a mile away. Located on the beach side of Atlantic Avenue in what looks like a motel, Adam's Egg appears to be a popular place for motel guests. We were seated promptly by an overly friendly server and perused the menu. After hearing about their breakfast special, Adam's Breakfast Bowl, my wife decided to order that with crispy house potatoes, crispy bacon and scrambled eggs with gravy on the side ($15). She also ordered a side of toasted wheat toast ($2). I ordered the Adam's Two and Two with scrambled eggs, bacon and house potatoes ($13). We each ordered coffee ($8) and water to go with our meals. My wife liked her dish but thought the potatoes weren't crispy. My breakfast was fine, although I thought the scrambled eggs lacked the fluffiness that I've come to expect for an elevated breakfast experience. Lately, I've been judging breakfast joints by how fluffy their scrambled eggs are...and this didn't quite make the mark. It was an OK breakfast. The highlight of our meal was the friendly and efficient server. Breakfast for 2 with tip came out to just over $48.

We dropped by this gem on our way up to North Carolina. It was an early Monday morning, so they…read moreweren't busy at all, but I imagine this place is popping over the weekend. There's not a ton of space, which I'm sure makes the rush brunch worse. Facilities were to clean and well maintained, well decorated as well. Our server Ashley was friendly and great. The food was delicious! My fiance and I both got veggie omelettes, he was able to add bacon to his and sub the potatoes for a fruit cup. We got an English muffin and wheat toast. Their wheat toast was massive and hearty, with seeds on the crust. I loved it! Veggie omelettes are always a good test of a chefs skills as they can be super wet from the high water content in veggies. Ours were cooked perfectly, no soppy mess and the veggies tasted crisp and fresh. I don't know if this is a downside, but the menu claimed the omelettes were 4 eggs, but it sure felt like 6 or 7! It was massive! The fruit cup didn't have a bunch of copout fruit in it, it came with really fresh strawberries, bananas and blackberries along with cantaloupe and pineapple. The only truly negative thing I noticed was the jam came in a small plastic cup and when I tasted the jam, it tasted like the plastic, so I couldn't eat it. Overall this is a great breakfast spot that rivals the sitting veterans on the area (first watch, kekes). Give it a go, but be wary of busy rush hours!

I am so glad I came here for lunch on 8/6/2026. There was such a great variety of vegan options…read morethat were also gluten-free. I had the vegan meat loaf w/soup & salad. So very delicious. I found out the chef is Greek. So am I!!! I'd of come here earlier if I knew. Please go b/c there are not many vegan restaurants in Volusia County in Florida. I returned today, 8/14/2026 and ordered the build your own crepe with a vegan gluten-free batter and tofu, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, bell pepper, and I don't know what else was in there! It was perfect. I also ordered two of the side sauces, Chimichurri and an eggplant sauce. Since I eat oil free, I had to pour off the olive oil from the chimichurri sauce. Everything was perfect. I hope my pictures will come through. Definitely, if I could give them 10 stars instead of five I would. Service was excellent. Lots of checkbacks to make sure. Ambiance was great for a small cafe. Lots of cultural foods, too. Many of the offerings can be made vegan and gluten-free.

Finding restaurants that take gluten-free seriously can be challenging, so we were excited to find this place. The gluten-free crepes were absolutely delicious, and they also had gluten-free cupcakes and macarons. Everything we tried was excellent. We loved the macarons so much that we ordered two boxes to take with us--and honestly, we should have ordered more! The service was quick and friendly. Our waitress, Gordana (who I believe is the owner), took the time to explain the steps they take to minimize cross-contact for customers with celiac disease, which gave us confidence ordering there. The café also has a charming, cozy atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back, and I hope this review helps other people with celiac disease who are searching for safe and delicious gluten-free options.

Although my dining companion and I look for…read morelocally owned restaurants, one can almost always count on the consistency of service and food quality at Metro Diner. It's a must-visit restaurant when you don't want to sift thru options. My dining companion always orders the chicken and waffles entree. A half order, white meat. This entree was excellent. I ordered the Salmon, rice and broccoli entree. Delicious and filling. Service was pleasant and efficient. We never felts rushed and witnessed similar service to other guests. They had a new chicken and waffles shirt for sale. The service staff always sport such cute t-shirt designs and if you buy one and wear it to the restaurant you get 10 percent off your meal. We will continue to frequent more Metro Diner locations!

Food: 10/10! The service was alright. Maybe because we were sitting outside, but I do feel like they could've been a little more flexible and accommodating. The inside is super cute with a sea/beachy vibe . The outside seating, however, feels more like general plaza seating since there are multiple restaurants within the same plaza. It didn't have quite the same atmosphere as the inside. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the food!

We also forgot it was Mother's Day, so we had about an hour wait as a walk up, but this place was very much worth it. Once we got the text, we came back and were shown to the spacious outdoor area on the first floor with our pups. They brought the pups a water bowl, and it was nicely shaded so we were all comfortable. I loved the decoration in there, it was secluded from the street but still very open but comfortably shaded. Everyone who worked here was very nice and the service was great from start to finish. I got the brisket hash, which was delicious. The eggs were cooked to a perfect over medium (at my request). The third wave house smoked brisket is worthy of hype for sure. My companion got the shrimp scramble, and we ended up asking if it was normal for the shrimp to be slightly translucent, which it apparently is for rock shrimp! Both entrees were excellent. I also got a bloody Mary which was amazing. Overall I have no notes for this place. Service? Great. Vibes? Great. Food? Great. I'd definitely stop by here again for brunch, or I'd love to try out their dinner menu too!

I recommend grabbing a reservation on their website for the outdoor booth with marina views. It has a club vibe on weekend nights after 10:30pm with a DJ, but a modern, fun spot with great small plates.
