I was driving to Port St Lucie and was in need of coffee so we stopped at this cute place. I honestly thought it was permanently closed, perhaps it was the tinted windows that sort of threw me off but I'm glad it was opened. I had an iced mocha and even though I asked for it to be very little sweet, it turned out to be super sweet. I understand that they use chocolate syrup instead of cocoa, not even place uses cocoa, so unfortunately I couldn't it. Their s'mores cupcake was delicious though. read more

So good and cute! Chicken spinach sandwich and the white chicken chili were both DELICIOUS! All the sandwiches and salads looked amazing. The cupcakes were amazing as well. We got the pumpkin and the snickerdoodle with cookie butter frosting. Both were so fresh and good. Staff was very nice and the ambiance is super cute. Highly recommend this spot for a tasty meal. read more

My car club stopped here for lunch on our way from Sanford (auto train) to Florida City. The paninis were outstanding and so we're the cupcakes! The Cattlemen's square across the road was a good place for group pictures. read more

Absolutely! Here's a glowing review that highlights Nutmeg's Café and the unique small-town charm of Okeechobee: --- "More Than Satisfied - A Local Gem in the Heart of Okeechobee!" If you're looking for something off the beaten path--where hospitality still means something and every corner feels like a warm hug from a simpler time--Nutmeg's Café in Okeechobee is your spot. This isn't just a café--it's a portal to everything that makes small-town Florida magical. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed not just by the friendly staff, but by the soulful atmosphere. Nutmeg's blends eclectic, almost storybook décor with a deep sense of community. Mismatched vintage chairs, shelves of quirky knick-knacks, and handwritten specials on chalkboards all add to the experience--it's like dining in your artsy cousin's sunroom who just happens to be an incredible chef. The food? Beyond expectations. Their gourmet paninis and homemade soups taste like someone's grandma went to culinary school and decided to open a café. The Ham and Pear panini is an unexpected masterpiece, and their cupcakes? Straight-up joy in frosting form. But what really sets Nutmeg's apart is the vibe. This is the kind of place where locals bring out-of-town guests to show off "the real Okeechobee." Conversations happen across tables. Regulars are greeted by name. You can sip a handcrafted iced coffee while watching downtown life go by--a sheriff tips his hat to a passing truck, a kid runs in to grab a cookie, someone drops off farm-fresh eggs at the back door. It's wholesome, it's weird, it's wonderful. If you're traveling through or looking for a reason to veer off the main highway, Nutmeg's Café is more than a meal--it's a love letter to small-town soul. You don't just leave full. You leave better. Hands down best caprese Panini I've ever eaten. Nutmeg's Cafe has a warm-hearted small town feel with a big time taste. Their cake balls taste better than they sound. read more

Cute place. The food was good, especially the carrot ginger soup, which tasted fresh and homemade. Delicious!

A cute cafe with a wonderful and friendly staff! Plenty of parking and a fun arrangement of mismatched chairs and tables for seating. The detail to the theme of the cafe did not go unnoticed. Bravo! We came in just to grab a quick coffee to go and they were very accommodating. We each ordered an iced salted caramel latte with almond milk. The almond milk was so good it out shone the coffee. We could honestly just drink the milk itself. Once mixed together the coffee was a little bitter and the salted caramel didn't change the flavor but the almond milk made all the difference. Definitely will come back to try some food as well. Looks yummy! read more

Fun local restaurant with fresh ingredients and excellent service! Muffins awesome and the fresh avocado toast / yum!

Local owned cafe in Okeechobee with so much potential and beauty. Reminds me of sitting on the back porch with my mom drinking coffee and enjoying fresh breeze. My 2nd time coming for the weekend brunch menu, although Nutmegs offers a fabulous daily menu -my apologies I was unable to post- but I promise you almost everything on the menu is delicious and freshly made down to the coffee and many varieties of tea as well. The young lady who worked behind the counter was very pleasant and offered great customer service. Cafe smells yummy and the deco inside is very cute. Okeechobee is a small town but this is one of the best cafés to enjoy food or even a yummy dessert (cupcake's, shakes, macaroons, or cake balls)! read more

What a charming cafe with delicious food!!! This is, by far, the best lunch spot in Okeechobee. Located in town with lots of cute shops, across the street from the park, it is an adorable place with a lovely homey feel, wonderful hospitality, and delicious food! Everything on the menu looks and sounds amazing. Lots of healthy options in a town where that is quite rare. I've only tried two sandwiches here so far, but they were both amazing. I've tried my boyfriend's tuna panini which, as someone who doesn't usually like tuna, I loved! However, my go-to panini is the Ham and Pear. Sounds simple, but my goodness they have this recipe down SO good! It has the perfect mix of salty & sweet, served hot with beautifully melty cheese and bread with just the right amount of crunch. I find myself craving this sandwich every day. It is so good. Prices are reasonable. Place is charming. Food is delicious. This is an Okeechobee must-try! read more

My wife and i try to visit at least once a month. It's her absolute favorite place in Okeechobee. We make it a point to support our local establishments as much as possible. This place is world class in my opinion. This last Sunday, my wife had the chicken salad on a croissaint with a potato salad side. She raved about it the entire way home, almost 3 hours. Great combination of sweet and savory. You must ry it. I had the 5 cheese panini with ham and salami. I forget what's called. it was swesome. The cheese spread was terrific. On a side note, i love the mix matched decor. A couple of the chairs were similar to what we had in my families patio back in the 70's. Give Nutmegs a chance next time you're in Okeechobee read more

Food was delicious. I had the Waldorf Buddha bowl and I don't know how I finished it, it was huge. My husband had a panini and homemade potato salad. I wish I could have tried a few more things on the menu. read more

Passing through and checking out the lake Okeechobee area went to this little café since it had such good reviews. It would've been a great little experience and the sandwiches and soup were good, but the person who waited on us at the register was so absolutely rude and grouchy And barked at us because we didn't order something exactly precisely right. Totally ruined lunch so watch out for her. read more

A little neighborhood cafe in downtown Okeechobee. We arrived about 2.5hrs before closing on a Sunday. After putting in our order for 6 people and sitting down, we were told that they were out of two of the items we ordered. The entire meal, we could hear the two young worker ladies chatting about their dating lives. There was no service at the table, anything we wanted, we had to ask for at the counter. The food however, was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Two people got the chicken salad, 3 got the turkey BLT and one got the ham and pear crisp. I also ordered hot tea which came out with honey and sugar cubes. They also offer a variety of desserts and I hear their cupcakes are good. The price is right and the food is good, if you can handle the mediocre service. read more

Great food. Excellent Rubin and Italian sandwich. And don't leave without having a cakeball. I only gave it 4 stars because there was no table service but the people that work here are very nice, helpful and kind. read more

The food was excellent! Half a pannini is more than enough. My only issue was a dirty table. I asked that someone come wipe it, and while they said yes, no one ever did. read more

Great little sandwich shop in okeechobee. This is a much better option than any of the fast food restaurants. They are small and specials are the way to go. They close at 3:00 so it's just lunch but worth the visit. The staff is friendly and the facility is clean. We enjoy the salads and definitely cupcakes for dessert. read more

I came in for an early lunch on my way to Orlando today. The reviews seemed great and everything was awesome! My partner and I don't always love coffee and smoothies from new places but this place got both our drinks right and they were really good! Our sandwiches were really good, too and great portions. My only complaint is how expensive everything is. The small smoothie I got was $9!!! and the sandwiches were delicious were pretty pricey, too. But overall, really good! read more

Stopped for lunch on our way through to the West Coast. Have to say it was the best meal of our vacation. Food was fresh, delicious ....dessert and ice cream topped it off! My 12 year old grand daughter for the rest of our trip kept asking to go back. Highly recommend!!! read more

We were passing through town mapping little known towns, backroads and eateries and came across Nutmeg's. What a fantastic find. The eclectic interior meshes grandmas attic with artsy glam. This combo eatery and bakery served us a fantastic lunch . We both chose their lunch combo, i had "the mousetrap" with five cheeses and artichoke panini with Tuscan soup, and my friend had the Ham and Pear panini with a salad. Both meals were fantastic as we expected when we watched the well oiled machine of the kitchen a d service team led by manager Amber. It was perfection! read more

We had 2 (1/2) panini sandwiches based on other reviews. The reviews were not wrong as they were very good. My wife had the Mouse Trap which was mainly cheese similar to pimento cheese and I had the Hog Trap which included ham and salami. Both were very good! The potato salad was mustard based and tasted good. read more

Service is great. Cute place for lunch. I have tried the turkey sandwich which is good. The roast beef not so good. It's kind of rubbery.

They catered my daughters wedding. There was so much food and everyone loved it. We had a taco bar, which is a little unusual, but it worked really well. Flavor was great, and they were very nice to come and set everything up a 1/2 hour out of town. Highly recommend these people! read more

Really impressed with this place . I came here after Dr s apt. Because I was so hungry but am trying to eat healthy. Helpful staff member recommended a dish that was delicious and fresh . From what I see they have a thriving business here. So refreshing to get healthy food on the go read more

Great food . Their milk shakes and sandwiches are amazing ..........i wish there were more branches

Their food has always been good and fresh. Love love their turkey blta on a croissant. It's tremendous! Turkey BLT is #1

I've been a fan of Nutmeg's ever since they opened! From the food to the atmosphere, there isn't another place like it in Okeechobee which makes it pretty special. I'm a HUGE fan of sandwiches and a big fan of Nutmeg's sandwiches. They have a very wide variety of options--anything from the normal turkey club, to the classic cuban, to a more unique Thanksgiving trimmings sandwich. I myself have enjoyed the cuban the most. It was a great take on the classic--the pork was juicy and flavorful, the ham was fresh, and the Swiss was bite-y but not overpowering. They pressed it to perfection as well with a crunchy yet fluffy bread that made the meal soar. I honestly forget what the side I got was because the sandwich was so good. They also have great baked goods (i'd recommend the cake pops), and the atmosphere again is very unique, with pleeeeenty of seating. They don't offer much tableside service, but that's not a huge deal to me as the food they serve is good enough to have to pick up from the counter, deli-style. Definitely give this place a whirl! read more

A good menu of delicious, healthy food. During a time when a greasy fast food burger and fries costs over ten dollars it's nice to find a place that has actual food in the same price range. I had chicken and spinach quiche, a nice side salad, fresh fruit cup and iced tea for $12.00. My friend had one of their loaded salad bowls that looked delicious. They have a number of heartier sandwiches as well. read more

This place is amazing! Food was delicious, large portions and reasonably priced. Cute and assorted real plates serve the food. Friendly staff. If you're in this area, try them out! read more
