Excellent customer service! Thank you Bianca for your food recommendations. The Mahi mahi fish tacos were delicious and enough to share. They were made fresh served along side their house made sauces! We are from the west coast and weren't sure if we would like the coffee, Bianca gave us a cup because she swore it would rival a my usual latte...surprisingly it was delicious! This hidden gem makes all their food from scratch. The place is small and casual. We will be back for breakfast. read more

Native Cafe - American Near Me - Gulf Breeze, Florida

Love, love, love this place!!! There is frequently a wait as it is small but it is well worth the time!

Well done. Service very good. Food quality good. Good value for dollar. Recommended by the Marriott hotel. Good choice.

The food was definitely a 3 star. I was disappointed in the fact that they use jarred jalapeños instead of fresh. The pancakes are delicious though. The mimosas were very impressive. read more

Ok place. Food is good but overpriced as far as I am concerned. About the only place on the island to get a quick breakfast

We were pleasantly surprised with the quick wait and attentive service. Crab Cakes Benedict was the suggestion by so many, yet it was good...not an OMG moment. If the crab was lump meat probably would have me in awe. Family ordered shrimp n grits and was in "hog heaven". Hubby enjoyed his omelet. Patrons were happy and the prices are just right! read more

See all

The hostess was extremely rude! When she came outside to call our name it took us about 30 seconds to walk in because my wife is 5 months pregnant and we had our 2 toddlers with us. She was impatient and seated another party of 4 instead. She then told us we would be seated next and instead she gave that seat to someone else because they were in uniform. No apologies at all. Just pure rudeness. This is no way to treat a customer. Thank God our waitress Chelsea saved the day with her great customer service and speedy service! If it wasn't for the nasty first impression I would have rated this restaurant a 5 star. The food is amazing and so are the waitresses. They need to find a new hostess though. read more

Oh so good! We went for breakfast and there are lots of good options, kids had pancakes while we opted for a seafood omelet and a crabcake eggs benedict. I got the remoulade instead of hollandaise sauce as I have a dairy issue, and it was delicious! There was a bit of a wait, but it was worth it. read more

Excellent breakfast spot that is always busy. Several versions of Eggs Benedict to pick from and the cook gets the poached eggs perfect every time. Coffee is some of the best you'll find. Waitstaff is friendly and helpful. read more

Stopped by for brunch this morning. I tried a bunch of different things and had some mimosas. Everything tasted great and our waitress was sweet. Nothing fancy inside the actual restaurant but perfect spot for breakfast on the beach. read more

I've given this place several chances. I'm not sure what the appeal is; however, let me just say that a three egg omelet as flat as a pancake stuffed with one strip (not broken up) of bacon is embarrassing. They won't get my money ever again. Terrible ! read more

My husband and I stopped by this friendly local joint for breakfast. My husband had the omelet with bacon and mushrooms and I had the eggs Benedict Arnold with sausage. It was decent but on point with most greasy spooners. My only complaint was that my biscuit was dry and kinda stale. One thing that was fantastic (besides the service) was their homemade hot sauce, which was delicious. read more

Were had visited Native last year and were excited to go back. Unfortunately we could not have been more disappointed. We were asked is the bar ok and we said sure. They do not have a bar, it is a server station. There was a trash can next to my husband that the servers used to clear off the dirty plates and put them in the dish rack, only a few feet from us, and the restrooms were right there. Not sure why we were seated there when other tables were open and they were seating 2 tops there. The food could not have been worse. My grits had absolutely no flavor and salt was the only thing I could taste on my shrimp.. The fried onions were soggy and mushy, not sure how you can do this with fried food except that they were old. My husbands crab cake was the most disgusting thing we have ever had in our mouths. I will not ever visit here again and I will also let others know not to go there. We tried a couple of others breakfast restaurants in the same plaza and they were amazing. read more

The Breakfast was amazing. They have something for everyone! Great place for takeout!

A small local restaurant. Extremely good food. We ordered 2 of the pancake-with breakfast sandwiches. We could of eaten 1 and taken the rest home with us. It was very large with a big egg and sausage. Great place to chill. Great local spot to eat read more

This cute little place has the best breakfast I've ever had. The crab cakes benedict is the stuff that dreams are made of. The hollandaise sauce is creamy, deliciousness. The eggs are cooked perfectly. And the crab cakes are delightfully light, not heavily breaded. They let the crab speak for itself instead of having it smothered under the weight of too much flour. Add a side of hashbrowns and thank me later. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

On the first day of vacation I decided that I was going to try every venue for breakfast the beach had to offer. My first stop The Native Cafe! The first breakfast item, the seafood omelet.... OMG!!!! The filling was fresh. The eggs were cooked perfectly. The sauce that they put on the omelet I believe I could have drank by the cup. So from that point on, it was breakfast for us there everyday of vacation. The decor was "beach chic". I would really like the lighting to be much better. The local art work on the walls was outstanding. The staff was friendly and knowledgable of the local. I was very happy and impressed with this little slice of heaven. The homemade hot sauce (though much to hot for me) was both tasty and VERY hot.... Keep up the good work guys!!!!! read more

Food was uninspiring...decent but woulldn't go back again. The coffee was bitter. Service was good, people friendly too.

This is a must for breakfast when on Pensacola Beach. Great food and friendly service.

Great place to grab a meal! We had to wait about 10 minutes but it was well worth it. The eggs Benedict are amazing with or with out the crab cakes. I will be going here again. read more

Wonderful place with fast amazing service! Had the best crab cake benadict! The hollandaise sauce was perfect and they had our som's food out incredible quick. My husband had the steak and eggs and no joke the steak was a legit New York strip cooked perfectly. read more

Run, don't walk! Our favorite little spot in Pensacola Beach. Great breakfasts and lunch...

A few friends and I stopped by this place by chance. We couldn't have been more pleased. The fried tomatoes were great. They had less breading than I was used to, but the remoulade was fantastic, the tomatoes were fresh and the breading was crispy. We ordered the fish tacos, shrimp and grits, and angry bird. All were outstanding. The service wasn't particularly fast, but the staff was friendly. read more

The walls are covered in art from local artist and the open seating area isn't too crammed. Other than that is typical beach fair and food. Portions are HUGE so split. The food is underwelmingly devoid of flavor. Between the 6 of us we had 5 different dishes, all ho humm. Not sure why this place has 4.5 stars. read more

Once again, Yelp steered us to a place we would have otherwise missed. We were tired of the breakfasts at the Hampton Inn, so walked down the street to Native Cafe. After a 15 min wait we were offered seats at the bar, which was actually our preferred seating--great for people watching! We had an interesting conversation with owner about the previous day's Mardi Gras parade crowds. We also observed the happy rapport she had with her staff--even on a busy morning where everyone was running flat out. We had blueberry pancakes (5 stars) and biscuits and gravy (5 stars plus). Gravy was just perfectly seasoned--not too much salt or pepper, plenty of sausage bits. read more

This cafe was a short walk from our motel room when we visited. There are several other shops next door that we wanted to try but this one was where we wanted to have a good hearty breakfast. I must say it's a bit small and busy. Luckily we didn't have to wait very long for a table, but soon after there was a line of people waiting for a seat! The service was great and the food came out fast. I got a couple bfast tacos just because we were a little short on time. They weren't very special (compared to tacos back home) but definitely filled me up, and all for a decent price. Also, I just enjoyed drinking my coffee in this artsy little atmosphere. I had plenty to look at around the cafe. I look forward to my next trip to Pensacola, I'll be sure to have bfast here again! read more

We were woken up at 630 on a Sunday thanks to the crazy pups, so decided that breakfast was a necessity. With a 730 opening, I was glad that we showed up at 740 as this place quickly fills up. Overall atmosphere is what you would expect from a typical breakfast location, well if you enjoy all the local art for sale (some was actually really nice). There isn't anything exotic on the menu, but it appears what they offer is done well. All the omelets ordered were good, as well as the pancakes. The service was fast and I can see this place being a regular breakfast hangout. Unfortunately I'm not a huge breakfast guy...but hey, if you need breakfast in Pensacola Beach, this is a good spot. read more

Not Sure what the Hype is.... Very Average (cute) little Dive Restaurant Serving Average Food. And Not Cheap. The Fish Tacos, their Claim to Fame, are Good, but not Great. The Portion is Decent Though, in Respect to the $10.95 they Charge for a Lunch Portion. This Restaurant is only Open until 3pm, very crowded at Breakfast which is also $$ and Average. The Cheese and Jalapeno Omelette I ordered was subpar with Pickled Jalapenos, not fresh - came with a slice of toast and above average cost. Not Impressed with the lack of Fresh for sure. It's Cute, but Average. *** read more

The food was just okay. We would have enjoyed the food a lot more if it would have been served hot. Instead our food was served barely warm. Service was good and we enjoyed the for-sale display art. read more

We've opted to stop here every time we visit Santa Rosa even though there are a couple of other options in the strip. Our third and most recent visit made me want to try the other spots out. Everything was fine but it was just fine. My spinach feta omelette had raw and there was unadvertised mozzarella cheese on it. But I ate it all so... Not amazing but not terrible. Nice wait staff. read more

Great breakfast, the pancakes are delicious....get there early because it gets really crowded by about 9 on weekends....highly recommend this place read more

Best steak and eggs on the beach. Actually best steak and eggs in Pensacola. I'm a local and native is my top choice summer or winter for a fantastic breakfast. They also serve up other satisfying dishes. Check them out. You'll be glad you did. read more

Stopped in this morning for a bite to eat with the family. At 10:45, there was a 30 minute wait. Don't let that discourage you, the service was excellent and food was great!! Hubby and son both ordered their signature Seafood Omelette. They both said it was good, but the fish inside was the best part of the meal. I had the French Toast with bacon, good and perfect portion. My daughter had Chocolate Chip Pancakes, very good. She said it was like eating warm gooey cake for breakfast. We will most definitely eat here again!!! read more

We stopped in for a late lunch and were very hungry after a bike ride in the area. The staff here was excellent, very attentive and friendly without being overbearing. We asked what's popular here and were told the fish tacos, so that's what we went with. Three delicious tacos, just the right amount of spice and oh so filling. Highly recommend this place for a delicious and reasonably priced lunch! read more

Best breakfast you can get, omelette are perfect pancakes are so good, love coming back every year

Went there for lunch last week. Party of 6 seated right away and everyone ordered very unique meals. All loved their food. From fish tacos to a Rueben sandwich the quality and quantity were above what we expected. Great service and food. Will be going back next year. read more

Ridiculously short hours. The waitress. Or Regina from Mean girls. Was ready to leave by 245 p read more

Absolutely delicious! This is by far our favorite place to eat in town! The Crab Cakes Benedict are amazing! read more

Native Cafe - Delicious! - American Near Me - Gulf Breeze, Florida

What a pleasant surprise! Everything was great, all the food, service, price and atmosphere!

Called in a breakfast order to go for here. Loved the atmosphere. Had never heard of it before the entire strip seemed really neat and would have loved to explore it. The egg sandwich was great. My son had the pancakes and my mother had the grits. The only thing she commented on was the size of the grits. They were very small but overall she enjoyed them. Can't wait to go back read more
