Indoor dining space is small, but the food is so worth it - order a bit of everything, take it home, and try something new is my advice. I'm Puerto Rican [grew up and lived there my whole life until young adulthood], so I can tell you this food is AUTHENTIC. Everything else we ordered was mostly fritters for a get-together, and EVERY single empanada was made-to-order and crunchy. We tried the crab/shrimp, beef, cubana. They were all TOP. Juiiiicy, with plenty fillings and a good size. Homemade taste was obvi. So tasty, every single one. We both wish our tripleta sandwiches had more noticeable "mayo-ketchup" pink sauce, though, to better balance the meats. But! Those meats were JUICY perfection in thay beautifully-caramelized crunchy-yet-soft fresh bread -- great size, too. My only disappointments were the yuca con mojo and sancocho soup. The yuca was oily & didn't have that traditional garlicky flavor and texture I'm used too. Felt too soggy and somewhat bland. The sancocho had good flavor, but way too thin -- not the traditionally hearty, root-vegetable-filled goodness I know and love. It was more of a gandules/bean soup w/ beef pieces than anything. I had ordered it thinking if my fiber intake and as a great veggie side dish, so I was a little sad. Still, all the food was great tasting, fresh, and just like a family member cooked it all for us. Best of all, customer service is *STAR* quality. So please, come and support this GREAT local business! We're def coming back. PS. They had a gorgeous coquí [local little toad] and garita 3-D-printed art, along other trinkets on display, which you can purchase and take home!

Parking is limited, but we lucked out and found a spot right up front. We were greeted upon entering. The space is bright with ample seating. The staff was friendly and patiently answered all of our questions while we deliberated over our food and drink options. We ordered the following: Sweet and salty Americano Breakkie bowl Beach burrito I'm a sucker for homemade syrups, so I was immediately impressed. My iced sweet and salty was smooth and perfectly balanced, not too sweet. Everything on the food menu sounded appetizing which made it tough to decide. I wanted to try do many items, but we loved our breakkie bowl and beach burrito. I liked the burrito slightly more. It was loaded with the good stuff. I will definitely be looking for a Sugar Baby next time I'm in the Tampa area!

We're all foodies from NYC, so they'll appreciate this place. All the tables were full at 1pm lunchtime. Now I know why! It's bright and airy, good A/C, lots of tables and the staff was so helpful in helping me choose what to get on this first visit. Spot on! Well done, Sugar Baby.

I have ordered the eggs, Benedict , pancakes & sweet sage scrambler so far . They were all excellent. Kudos to the cooks! I am a stickler on service and I'm here to tell you they did not disappoint. Both servers we had were absolutely excellent ! Jackie was our server the first time we went & she was so informative as we were super excited to try everything and she helped us get through the menu. The second and third time we went, we had the pleasure of having Jordan as our waitress. She was so friendly, bubbly & also very informative about the menu. She clearly loves her job and the people she works with. She recommended the mimosa and the smoothie we got both and were very delighted. You can just feel the positive vibes coming from this place. So do yourself a favor and start your day at Sweet Sage Café.! We just booked our trip today to come back down to Indians Rocks in October. This will be our go to breakfast\brunch\lunch spot! Hoping to get in there a few times on this trip. Can't wait to try something new !

So when I found myself six months later back in Johns Pass looking at the same stupid pirate ship, I thought, I bet Lauren and Kent recommend a good place within walking distance since they know the area. They were completely worthless for any kind of recommendation. I asked them about this place and they had never been or even knew its name. All they could tell me about with some bar to go visit around the corner. Clearly they have their priorities. Had the fried clams and some shrimp. They were good. It's pretty hard to screw up fried stuff.... I think I should've ordered one of the sandwiches, they looked much better. Service was great. Kept my drink refilled and we were very attentive.

Mighty Fine Breakfast…read more Apple Butter Café is comfortable and friendly. My server was very pleasant and attentive. Prices were fair. This was my second visit. I always judge my breakfast at any restaurant by ordering the same 5 items. My eggs were reasonably fluffy and had flavor. So many places serve eggs that are flat and bland. Here they had obviously been cooked with a decent amount of butter and salt. Surprisingly, the grits were very good. I've become jaded about finding good grits in Pinellas County. They're usually a sticky clump or soupy and with no flavor. These were very good. The large piece of ham was nicely seared on the grill and was very tasty. Same goes for their biscuit--cut in half and nicely seared. The French toast was a little weaker than the rest. It had nice flavor but was not fully cooked through, so it collapsed in the middle when cut--another common problem. They could do a better job on the exterior of the restaurant. The same dead plant has been in the pot near the door for months. The walkways and parking lot should be swept. Fortunately, the first impression of the exterior doesn't carry through to the interior. I'd happily return, trying more items on the menu.

As for the coffee, follow my reviews and you'll hear my comparison everything to my local shop in San Diego that I love and this might be the closest I've ever come to it. Their oatmilk is great, they had agave and they shook up my drink upon request which is the not-so-secret secret to making iced lattes so much better. This would be my local for sure. The parking can be tricky. We came with plenty of spots and with no spots. It is a touristy area so be prepared for that. We came with hardly anyone there and with a line out the door but that doesn't bother me, it tells me that it's good. Once I got inside the line was smooth and my order came up quick.
