I came on a Sunday and the place was busy, but I'm sure that's something that they're use to. Everyone there was really nice. That's one thing I'll say for Dunedin, it seems like everyone here is friendly and loves dogs, but I digress. Looking at the menu, I felt like a lot of the items were expensive for what they were. a Croissant sandwich with egg cheese and a protein was $15, not including coffee, and I"m looking at the size of the croissants that by themselves are priced at almost $6 and I'm totally confused because they look like those mini croissants, not even full sized. I asked about their cinnamon rolls and apparently they're made fresh daily. It was good, definitely fresh. I also ordered a 14 oz cappuccino and those two items came out to $13. when she handed me the 14 oz drink I moved it up and down, my brain trying to process if maybe what I actually read was 4 oz and not 14. I handed the drink to my friend and asked her: "Does this feel like 14 ounces to you?" She grabbed it and gave me a funny look, "did they give you the right drink? This feels almost empty." "Exactly." I said back to her. She had ordered a black coffee with light sugar. They told her it was a medium blend but either they skimped on the amount of coffee or added more water than needed because this tasted almost like tea with how light it was. We both left feeling deflated, especially since we had allowed ourselves to get our hopes up. It's a good thing Dunedin has lots of breakfast places, we ended up having a great one at another place for cheaper.

Nestled in the heart of Dunedin, Florida, Sandpiper Breakfast Restaurant exudes charm from the moment you step through its doors. My recent visit to this culinary gem left an indelible mark on my taste buds and heart alike. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and an ambiance that whispered tales of cozy mornings and culinary delights. The decor, reminiscent of a coastal cottage, transported us to a serene haven, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. As we perused the menu, each item beckoned with promises of culinary bliss. Opting for the coconut coffee, I was greeted with a symphony of flavors that danced across my palate with each sip. The delicate balance of coconut and coffee was a revelation, offering a delightful twist to the traditional morning brew. For our main courses, I indulged in the house skillet while my wife opted for the avocado tartine. The house skillet was a masterpiece of flavors and textures, with each bite offering a symphony of savory delights. The perfectly cooked eggs, nestled atop a bed of seasoned potatoes and savory meats, created a harmonious melody of taste sensations that left me craving for more. My wife's Avocado Tartine was a work of art, both visually and gastronomically. The creamy avocado, spread lavishly over toasted artisan bread, was elevated to new heights with a medley of fresh herbs and tangy citrus notes. Each bite was a revelation, a testament to the chef's skill and dedication to culinary excellence. Throughout our meal, the service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that our every need was met with a smile. The attention to detail and genuine passion for hospitality were evident in every interaction, elevating our dining experience to new heights. In conclusion, Sandpiper Breakfast Quaint Restaurant is a culinary oasis that deserves to be celebrated. From its charming ambiance to its delectable offerings, every aspect of our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're a local seeking a morning retreat or a traveler in search of culinary delights, a visit to Sandpiper Breakfast Restaurant is an absolute must. read more

This unfortunately is WAY over due...but still needs to be shared. My son and fiancé decided to get married the Tuesday before Thanksgiving...after a quick ceremony at the court house the 10 of had made arrangements to celebrate at the Sandpiper. COULD NOT HAVE MADE A BETTER DECISION. The staff was on point....I was able to get with Karen before hand to finalize details about the lunch...She knew exactly what to do and had her staff more than ready for us. We walked into the back...and it was gorgeous...EXACTLY what the new couple wanted. Plenty of room, plenty of GREAT food, and sincerely enjoyed every minute of being there. We could not have asked for, picked out and or planned a better celebration!!!! PERFECT in every way! Thank you Karen and David....We will most assuredly be back....I highly recommend hosting any event that you might have here at the Sandpiper Café and Gifts. You will not be disappointed. read more

We had an extremely disappointing experience at Wild Iris. Despite multiple open tables, we were subjected to unnecessary wait times and completely ignored by the staff. We weren't greeted or acknowledged for 25 minutes, which is unacceptable. After waiting and watching others receive service, we finally decided to walk out. Thankfully, we found a much better option just 168 feet around the corner at Sandpiper. The service there was friendly, the atmosphere far more inviting, and the food just as good, if not better. If you're looking for a pleasant dining experience, skip Wild Iris and head to Sandpiper instead. You'll be glad you did. read more

When we walked in, we were quickly greeted. Place is still bright, clean and cheery. Interesting soundscapes type music piped in also. We were told we could sit anyplace as we entered. We did and sat at a booth with a very wobbly table. A moment or two later when Ginger took our order, she replied that "we were tryin' to fix that table yesterday but we didn't have a shim." M next time a word about not having us sit there would be a welcome gesture on their part rather than letting us move all our stuff to the next table. Anyway...coffee was kinda weak too. I usually don't bother with diner coffee as it's usually hit or miss. This stuff was the latter by far. Meanwhile we got the former with our food! Queen Bee chose a daily special: one egg, two pieces of French toast and two strips of bacon. I chose the country fried steak breakfast. Queen Bee's choice made her quite the happy camper. French toast she found quite delicious; well cooked rather than goopy or runny with a nice crisp to it. The egg was perfect over medium as asked. She even told Ginger what an over medium egg constitutes. Ginger replied "I gotcha honey" with a southern laugh. My breakfast meantime was quite lovely for the most part. Country fried steak was a standard Sysco truck frozen block of breaded, minced meat. It was properly cooked (as opposed to incinerated) and not greasy. The standout for this was/is the "country gravy." Country gravy oftentimes suffers from one of two problems... 1. Over salty from too much sausage and sausage grease. 2. Floury aftertaste because the cook can't make a proper béchamel. This stuff had neither problem and was one of the better country gravies I've had in recent memory if not ever. Meanwhile eggs were scrambled properly...not too loose, not too tight (more toward the latter than the former). The home fries were quite bland (no salt, no pepper or even a hint of paprika). I wonder if too many of the old folks living round here complained about 'em. Anyway, I added a shake of salt (gasp!) and some pepper. I chose rye toast as I usually do. When Ginger dropped off our chow I even asked if it was rye instead of whole wheat. She said yes with a smile, adding the only way she can tell 'em apart is by "looking for the seeds. Ya gotta be smarter than what ya work with." Finally, Ginger herself is a real hoot. She truly reminds me of a southern version of the NYC diner waitresses I remember from my younger years and decades in the Big Apple. Sassy, funny, and quite efficient, competent and knowledgeable. After we walked in, we weren't so sure about whether we'd return here ever again. However given the balance of today's experience, I'd say that when we find ourselves in the area and in need of a feed...Pete seems to have done well with this joint and I'd say his morning crew knows their stuff!

To call this French is an insult to France! I was born and…read moreraised in France, getting my bakery goods in the mornings from bakery down the street. The ambience was nice and so was service, but that's where the good things end. This was a disaster and shameful that it's called French. Serving croissants and eclairs and putting French names to menu items does not make something French. We ordered a turkey omelette with eggs on top, an eclair, a chocolate croissant, a croissant with ham and cheese and tomato and lettuce, and a cream filled beignet. Let's start with the bakery goods. All bakery goods should be made fresh that same morning. The croissants, and pastries all should be flaky and taste fresh. These were hard as if they were all yesterday's leftovers. The filling on the beignet was obviously a Jell-O pudding mix, and definitely not homemade. The eclair for some reason had some kind of supposed chantilly cream and raspberry instead of the traditional filling, and both of those fillings were also all store-bought. The eclair was also stale and tasted like it had been in the fridge since yesterday. The omelette was an absolute joke. If you look at the picture I posted, my index finger was actually taller than the entire omelette which is supposed to be filled with ham and cheese as you can see from the post photo. The ham and cheese were also packaged meat and cheese as you can tell since they all were sliced exactly in the same way and same size and tasted processed, and the cheese wasn't even melted completely. The omelette was just incredibly dry and bland. The croissant suffered from the same disease. It was hard, not flaky, and tasted stale as if it had been made yesterday, and all of the meat and cheese was obviously packaged meat and cheese which tasted processed. This tastes nothing like anything you would find at any French bakery in France. In France. Everything is made the same day, and the moment it starts going stale and stops being flaky, is thrown away. This is an absolute insult to French bakeries. Even if you compare it to other American bakeries and breakfast places, nothing tasted good and for that price, it should. Definitely avoid this place. I know I will.
