Great little find located next to Fruit and Spice Park. It is nothing fancy, it offers a simple, but tasty menu. My friend and I had their lobster roll, and my other friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich. All was tasty and fair priced for a touristy location. The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed our short visit. read more

Mango Cafe - Lobster Roll - Cafes Near Me - Homestead, Florida

Mango Cafe is outside of Fruit and Spice Park, so you can eat here before or after your visit, or if you're just in the area without going inside the park or paying admission. The menu was more diverse than I would have expected for a cafe at a garden. I had a salad and my husband had a wrap. Both were good, though not above and beyond what you would normally eat at any other decent cafe. If you're in the area, it's an affordable place to eat with prompt service. However, I wouldn't make a special trip from afar just to come to the cafe alone. read more

When researching place to go and must see for our trip to the keys The Mango Cafe was listed with "the best lobster rolls around" we arrived at the restaurant which is actually attached to s spice park. Kind if neat. We didn't tour the park. The sign at the door for the cafe says to call and place your order. During this COVID time they do not allow customers inside. I ordered the 2 lobster rolls ($11.50 each) and was told she would bring them out in about 15 minutes. We sat under the avocado trees in the shade at the picnic tables. About 15 inches she brought out the order. The lobster rolls come with homemade chips. The home made chips are delicious. The lobster roll is served with lettuce on a buttered, grilled and browned hot do bun. You get two per order. The lobster rolls was good but to be completely honest the lobster roll in west bradenton is much better. read more

Nothing special about this place. The food is very average and the service was very slow. With only one other table seated, it took the waitress approximately 15 minutes to even greet us and take our order. The food took a long time to cook and seeing as how the restaurant was empty, I'm not sure why. It's also kind of cramped in the dining room and I suggest sitting on the patio. The patio is a little more spread out. I had the tuna wrap and it was average (at best). They don't give you a lot of chips and I left still hungry. I probably wouldn't eat here again. There are plenty of other choices that are probably much better. read more

Fresh? I'm Surprised that ppl cannot tell the difference between real lobster and IMITATION lobster...

The tuna salad wrap was prepared fresh and presented very nicely in a wire basket lined with deli paper and filled with kettle style potato chips. The portion was plentiful and could be shared. The dining area is quaint and has a cozy indoor/outdoor nook in the back where you could listen the birds and get some fresh air. The server was pleasant and brought the food out to the table. Great little place off the beaten path. Although it's part of the Fruit and Spice Park, it has a separate entrance and does not require entrance through the park. read more

Very good food and service. The meal was very tasteful and affordable prices. I will def. visit again.

The homemade pumpkin cake was delicious. The fruit sampler was very unique. Tried fruit I have never seen before. The waitress was great, she explained how to eat the exotic fruits and told us what flavors to expect. The sampler plate varies. Depends what's in season at the Fruit and Spice park. Prices are fair. Atmosphere is very casual. Meals were good. read more

Mango Cafe - Fruit Sampler platter - Cafes Near Me - Homestead, Florida

Great cafe with a great lobster roll! This little cafe, located well off the beaten path in an historic house at Fruit and Spice Park, offers surprisingly good sandwiches, wraps, and salads, all for less than ten bucks. People rave about the lobster roll, and for good reason. Other options include a Tuscan chicken panini, a Cuban sandwich, and pulled pork. Drinks are bottled from the cooler, but smoothies and shakes are fresh. They supposedly have good key lime pie, though we didn't try it. Well worth a stop if you are anywhere in the area. read more

This little hole in the wall cafe in what appears to be in the middle of nowhere is just what we were looking for. Covered front porch with views of palm trees and lizards and mango trees. The Cuban Pressed panini was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place. While you're at it order a mango smoothie. read more

Found this cafe next to the Fruit and Spice park. We had some time to kill before the tour at the park so we decided to get something to eat. Everything on the menu is pretty affordable and they have something for everyone. They even have lobster rolls, which I was NOT going to get. I went to Cape Cod a few months ago and had a fantastic lobster roll so I wasn't interested in ruining that memory. But then we saw an article they have in the cafe about how good their lobster rolls are. The article was published only a few months ago. Now that piqued my interest. We both got lobster rolls at $9.95 each. I still was skeptical but I was pleasantly surprised. It didn't have a whole lot of mayo and the old bay was a nice touch (I live in Maryland and I know old bay). Was it as good as the one in Cape Cod, of course not--but it was good nonetheless. The service was fine, no complaints there. We were able to sit outside to enjoy the great weather. If you're heading to the park, come here for lunch, you won't regret it. Just make sure you come before 4:00 pm because they only serve smoothies after that. read more

WOW WOW WOW! This was one of the best experiences we had in Florida. First of all, the Fruit and Spice Park is a MUST! Totally worth the drive from FTL or Miami. There is also a place called RF Orchids a few blocks away and that is also a must! Now to the cafe, the fruit sampler! O.M.G. Every single fruit is perfectly ripe and is like having a taste explosion... :D in your mouth. We've never even heard of most of the fruit we tried here. Onto the main meal, the lobster roll... Holly lobster! Just when we thought nothing could beat the appetizer, this godly creation comes out. Hands down the best lobster roll i've ever had in my life. read more

Cute little lunch spot with friendly staff. I recommend the lobster roll which is insanely cheap and the veggie burger is not bad either. The strawberry smoothie is quite good as well. Very casual and usually busy. 4 stars cause i just found out the lobster is not real :( read more

Good sandwiches and smoothies. If you are already at the park don't bother looking elsewhere. Save yourself the gas. This place is always clean, food is fresh, and service is friendly. You'll see locals walk in for lunch too which is always a good sign. Mango cafe is not only convenient if you are visiting the fruit and spice park but it's also good on its own merit . read more

My boyfriend and I both loved this place. The server was so attentive and kind, really made us fell welcomed. We appreciate her recommendations as we were very satisfied with the food we ate. My boyfriend ordered the Tune Wrap which was recommended and Wow! He loved it! I ordered the Lobster Roll and it was delicious. We were both very happy with food. But, I will admit, the Mango-Passion Fruit shake was Amazing!! The best! I highly recommend it. It was fresh and I could really taste the fruits. In love! read more

Service is good, cool ambiance. Stay away from the salad. Honestly should be taken out of the menu. read more

Returned for lunch with my sister. I ordered the lobster roll and she ordered some sort of salad. The lobster roll was delicious and so was the salad. Huge portions as well (huge for us but we are both small women). We got there and the place was empty but by the time we paid the bill there was a line of people waiting, mostly tourists enjoying the park. read more

I've come here twice now with my UM CMA group after our prayer retreat at the Fruit and Spice Park. Both times I order the lobster roll ($9) which was absolutely amazing. The size of the lobster roll is great and they give you a ton of lobster. Well worth the price. This last time I also ordered a mango pineapple smoothie which honestly had to be the best smoothie I've ever had. You could taste real mango in it and it was just perfect. Highly recommend if making a trip to Fruit and Spice Park! read more

The food was average at best. I'm glad the wrap comes 3 potato chips. BUT THAT SERVICE TOUGH. she didn't even checked up on me and boy was I thirsty. Avoid there's better places. read more

Lobster roll, Cuban, and a couple of brews- excellent repast after nearly expiring of heat in the Fruit & Spice Park. My sister and I appreciated the historic park photos on all the walls. read more

My friend ordered the lobster roll. I was skeptical when I saw the price but I wanted to believe it. When her plate arrived with 2 rolls on there I knew something was up. I tried a few pieces which I knew was imitation crab just to confirm my suspicions. Then I went digging for what could possibly pass as lobster and even that was imitation crab. As we were paying I asked the waitress and she confirmed it was from a bag of frozen imitation crab. This is the exact same sandwich you can get at Subway. read more

Very nice quaint spot by the park. Had the tuna wrap and it was delicious. My friends had the Thai chicken salad and garden salad and they really liked it too. Will definitely go back for lunch. read more

Drove past, turned around, glad I did! Yummy lobster roll, fast service, historic building. Great hidden gem!

Lobster roll was delicious! I also ordered a strawberry-mango shake that tasted way better than any of the expensive places nearby. And the staff was very nice and helpful. read more

Wonderful little cafe with good, fresh food offerings in a quaint, inviting atmosphere. Daily specials for wraps and smoothies are offered. I had the veggie wrap which was quite large. Our waitress suggested adding avocado and I did which I enjoyed. Menu has salads, panini sandwiches,wraps, desserts and smoothies. My companion had the Asian chicken salad and raved about it. Portion sizes are great. Would recommend. read more

What the heck happened to your shrimp tacos?!! They were the best thing on the menu. Now I don't know what to order.

We had a wonderful lunch here before visiting the adjacent Fruit and Spice Park. Food was great, service was friendly, and staff, which also work at the park, were very helpful in describing what to look for at the park. They take credit cards, but tips are in cash, and all gratuities go toward the park, which I thought spoke volumes. read more
