    Scrambled eggs, taters, side of gravy, pancakes and the meats
    Cara N.

    Food was awesome! Lobster shrimp omelette actually had a lot of meat in it. Sausage gravy is like your grandmas it's so good. Staff was friendly and the establishment was clean.

    Corned beef hash Benedict

    Another amazing breakfast at the Breakfast Cottage! The food is so great here, never disappointed. Lovely place to sit outside by the tree with great waitress tending our party of 6. I had the corned beef hash eggs Benedict.

    The Monte Cristo
    Em S.

    I needed breakfast 10:30 on Sunday. The Breakfast Cottage was very busy so I wondered if I'd get a seat. I got one facing the bathroom. So much for ambience, watching folks hurriedly enter and then exit zipping pants. I ordered the Monte Cristo and an unsweetened ice tea. Both arrived super quickly. The Monte Cristo was tasty! I would definitely return here just for another Monte Cristo! I finished my tea and was not offered a refill and the check appeared without asking. It was obvious they wanted to turn this bathroom view table asap.

    Monte cristo sandwich with fries
    Rachel B.

    Very delicious and home cooked food. We had breakfast and it was very good, including the potatoes, grits, corned beef hash, omelette, and monte Cristo sandwich. Prices were average for breakfast. Service was good. The place has limited seating so we waited around 15 minutes for inside seating at 10:30am on a Sunday. They do have more tables outside on the deck under a huge tree.

    Classic Eggs Benedict w/city grits  - awesome and out of 26 restaurants my WINNER 2024!!!

    Just a few new photos, still awesome today on Mother's Day. Yelp won't let me just add photos to past reviews. Check out previous posts.

    Cherry cheesecake stuffed French toast
    Shannon D.

    French toast was so yummy. There is a friendly, home town environment here. Local at for sale. They put a fun spin on all the pancakes, French toast and waffles. This place is definitely worth checking out.

    Obsees is by FAR the best sub shop in South Venice 41. Tastes, size great. Never disappointed…read more Nice folks.

    Fresh, fresh, fresh delicious deli sandwiches! Great complete deli menu too from simple ham and…read morecheese to spicy Italian. Plus, there are hot sandwiches. You can order on the menu too. You can find something on this menu that you're going to love. Bread is fresh and so are the deli meats and all the toppings from green pepper to banana peppers to lettuce, tomato and spicy oil and vinegar dressing you'll put together a perfect sandwich. We had two different ones the Italian with the hot capicola, which was perfectly spicy and loaded with meats. The second sandwich was a ham, cheese and salami with lettuce, banana peppers, tomato, onion, all the fixings and that hit the spot too. We had two 8 inch subs and nothing was left. We also had chips on the side And that added to making the sandwich a perfect lunch combo. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because parking is extremely limited and in the back. If you don't know this deli, you wouldn't know where parking is but if you drive around the back, you'll see a very small parking lot and an entry into the deli. Staff is friendly and super helpful if you're not sure what to get. The place was crowded at lunchtime on a weekday with plenty of regulars, they know a good thing when they taste it. I'm looking forward to coming back into town to try something different since the menu was so vast it just means I have to come back again and again.

    In Season, Saturday, March 21, 2026 - Two for take out lunch for the beach…read more My wife has been bragging about these folks for months so we thought to stop in and see how they are for a few sandwiches?! VERY GOOD is the short answer! My wife got the Polo Toscano - grilled chicken on an awesome sourdough bread that I believe comes in from New Jersey? She decided to take a little bite in their roomy parking lot!!!! AND the result was we did not make it over KMI/Hatchett Creek Bridge heading to Nokomis Beach..... I got the "stump"/end of the bread with a little bit of chicken / cheese etc. So will have to go by her assessment. 9/10 I got the Lukie - portabella, asparagus, zucchini, roasted red pepper cheese (provolone and they let me try a piece before they made the sandwich!!! WOW that is no Dietz & Watson or Publix brand cheese - right out of the Italian market in NY or Philly!!) They put balsamic and oil on and the veggies were sauté etc. And there in was the only issue. Flavor and ALL ingredients were great....... but the sourdough bread was a soggy sponge by the time I cracked it open on the beach about 30 minutes later. The vinegar, the liquids from the sauté, the oils and etc. I WILL be going back for this exact thing next time, BUT will get it "dry" or dressing on the side. I picked it apart and threw well over 1/2 the roll in the trash. 5/10 Really good first visit for me and EASY PEASY fix so check back on my update...... OR go there yourself and find out how great they are! I spoke to a few friends and the overwhelming feedback was very good food and selection....but prices are a bit high for a deli/takeout.
