Jo M.

Large restaurant with plenty of seating. Server was very sweet and attentive. Food tasted great and portions were good. Parking is available in the garage, restaurant does not validate. Only negative is that they don't have milk alternatives for the coffee.

Big pancake
Yamila D.

The location is really nice. I think it's downtown Tallahassee by the capital. The parking garage is on the ground floor and then you take the elevator up. The surrounding is just beautiful. We went on a Saturday at around 11am and the wait time wasn't so bad. I think we waited like 10 minutes. The service was good and the food wasn't bad. Expect for the fact that the cream cheese on my bagel was hot and like melted because it was added on when the bagel was still piping hot, but I should of asked for it on the side and I would of done it. I am hoping to be back when I go back to Tallahassee in October and try other menu options.

pancakes, eggs, bacon
Maia T.

Our waiter was super attentive and fast! I don't recommend ordering the pancakes as they were not fluffy (dry). The muffins are a better choice. Everything else was delicious! Expect a wait time of at least 30-45mins during brunch hours, the building is small.

Beignets (mixed, powered sugar & cinnamon sugar)
Dominique M.

There are some very interesting items on the menu lol. My friend and I shared the mixed beignets as an appetizer (powered sugar & cinnamon sugar). I chose the breakfast burrito (no onions) and my friend ordered a bacon avocado omelet. Service was ok. Wait time was as almost 40 minutes. We tried a "poinsettia mimosa" and it was ok. Tasted like champagne and Grenadian. The beignets were super tiny and a bit hard. Would not recommend. My breakfast burrito was super flavorful. From the chorizo to the eggs, beans and cheese. EVERYTHING was flavorful. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned well and cooked nicely to have a good crunch while remaining soft on the inside. I also thought portion size was very appropriate. Not too many other menu items caught my eye but if I were craving a breakfast burrito I would certainly recommend this place.

Espresso con panna
Kyle H.

Found this breakfast place on Google maps. Solid choice. Espresso was delicious and the omelette was soo good. The cream cheese added extra cheesiness that i might add to my omelets at home. 10/10 would eat again!

Cappuccino.
Marilu F.

Two stars for the service and I think that's being kind, considering that the service was great and the food left plenty to be desired. Bluntly speaking, it's been a long time since I've eaten at a restaurant and genuinely wished I hadn't. Bland doesn't begin to cover how terrible the food was. It's as if things were set to cook and they forgot the concept of seasoning. Prime example of this is my custom omelette. It had broccoli, green peppers, onions, and peppers. It was accompanied by cheese. All I could taste was the cheese and that's if I grabbed a piece with cheese. Where was the salt? The pepper? The flavor? This was on the same plate as an English muffin and some potatoes. The muffin was toasted and I left it alone mainly because everything else was so much food. That and I went to town on the potatoes as they seemed to be the only seasoned thing. Well, until I just couldn't eat potatoes anymore. I drank coffee with this and it was acceptable. Still, what a disillusion with those eggs. I was majorly disappointed. The dish itself was huge, so I expected so much tastiness and instead it just was a huge pile of boring for my stomach. He, on the other hand, had waffles and they looked fine. They were nothing out of the ordinary. He did complain about the butter, but this is typical from him as he's generally picky. Meh, I just don't understand how a breakfast chain has such blasé dishes. I expected something more lively. Oh well. At least the ambiance was cozy and the waiter was nice. This is probably one that I'd need some convincing to try again.

Scramble w bacon and grits
Michelle G.

Nestled near the Capital, this brunchy restaurant has nice outside seating, weather permitting. The grits were very creamy and their potatoes as well.

Love this place. I've been there a few times and the food is consistently good. Great mimosas and bloody Marie's. Staff is friendly.

Asian salad
Kara P.

Came here right before closing and wasn't disappointed. George was a great server, personable and attentive and knowledgeable about the menu when I was torn between a few items. Everyone was very satisfied with their meals. I'm pretty sure every plate was empty. I had the Asian chicken salad and reallly enjoyed it. The Asian sesame dressing was sweet, tangy and delicious. The chicken was grilled to perfection. The greenery to meat ratio was spot on. There was actually just enough chicken for me to cut up and enjoy some in mostly each bite. The crab cakes egg Benedict also looked super yummy. I am definitely trying that next time because my friend was not sharing. Lol! As I did in a previous review, I'm taking off a star for servers who aren't masked and gloved. I'm just still not comfortable with the idea of it all and not knowing whether folks are vaccinated, etc. it's somewhat unfair because pre-covid that wasn't a thing at all, but alas times have changed.

Omelette
Anna M.

Located in a cute spot in Tallahassee. I wasn't a fan of the American coffee but that's just because it's not my cup of tea. I didn't realize they had cappuccinos until after I ordered ( my mistake). We ordered the grilled muffins and they were delicious. I recommend the blueberry because the chocolate chip was too much chocolate for me for breakfast. I built my own omelette and it was yummy. Everyone was also very nice! The only area where they could use improvement is their service, they're a little slow but overall I had a good experience

This appetizer came out the same time as the meal the 3 stars is for the marmalade ONLY.
Tere F.

Underwhelming is my input I really do not give atrocious reviews this was not a good experience at all second restaurant in the same area that has been not good at all. Food was no seasoned bland at best. The service was not good at all one server with too many tables. I do not have the wherewithal to list all the negatives there were many! 20 minutes for a straw is one of many! We will not go back again felt like it was an absolute waste of our hard earned dollar the kitchen quality control is not good at all the sat as is evident from the pictures no cream cheese as it was absorbed as it sat potatoes like rubber as they sat and no seasoning at all! Awful experience could have spent $60 elsewhere and had a lovely brunch....you live and learn!

First time in Tallahassee and I had to make a quick road trip stop for coffee!…read more Saw that Ology was in a brewery and it piqued my interest! The coffee had very good reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. The menu item names are very creative. Five stars for that. So far loved the vibe. And as far as customer service goes, they were very friendly! I really wanted to try their Rosemary Lavender but sadly they were out of this flavor. I opted for cardamom with oat milk. After the first sip.. I couldn't quite get the cardamom taste. Not with the second, third or fourth. It fell a bit too short for me. Cardamom has a very distinct taste and it was lost in the milk. Just tasted like a regular latte. I had to have more than 12oz (looks like this is their only size) so I also got the cold brew.. but the batch was not as strong as I would prefer. I think it can be better. I'm sadly reminded of the old Keurig days when my coffee would come out tasting extremely diluted but I would still drink to because it was quick and easy. Cold brew is a slow, beautiful and delicate process. This drink did not reflect that awesome cold brew experience. I expect the cold brew from a coffee place to taste much better than what I make at home. No for me Ology. Wish you guys better days though!

First timer. Looked nice but it has a bar feel to it. Not my cup of tea but I will recommend since…read morethe service was very good.

I had looked this coffee shop up awhile back and it had caught my eye because it also sells ice…read morecream. I wound up going today to meet a pair of girlfriends and it was not what I expected. For one, it is rare in Tallahassee to have difficulty finding parking and that's exactly what happened here. This is in a side of town that is gentrifying and attempting to imitate Miami. This area is South Monroe, or SoMo, and it is reminiscent of Wynwood Walls in Miami except so far they're not charging for parking and it's still manageable. I say this as we wound up parking in the overflow parking section. Anyway, as far as coffee and food options go, they definitely had more coffee options than food ones. This may be a good place for a light bite but not a full-on meal. My friends each had some rose orange lemonade tea drink that looked gorgeous and apparently was tasty to boot. One of them had a sandwich, while I partook in a plain bagel with cream cheese and an iced café latte. This last bit is a miracle as I'm typically a hot coffee drinker, but it was lovely indeed and I have no regrets with my choice. I do have to say though that there are a lot of fox-themed coffee shops in the city. One of my friends accidentally drove to one of them before meeting us, so definitely be careful when going. It's easy to get confused and/or forget where Foxtail is!
