Highly recommend for people who seek out local gems.

Came here with my group of four for after-dinner drinks on a lively Friday night. We walked up to…read morethe counter and were served right away. My husband ordered the Brambly (Mocktail), $13 and I the Caffe Mezzo, $14. The Caffe Mezzo is a smooth and delicious variation of the espresso martini. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would have gotten another one if we were staying out late. We settled at one of the cozy tables in the back. The ambiance is charming and I would love to experience it in the daytime. I also look forward to returning to enjoy a coffee here.

The weather was absolutely beautiful, so sitting outside to enjoy the food made it even better. I loved that their menu has a ton of vegan and gluten-free options, and everything is clearly labeled so you don't have to guess.

Highly recommend making a quick stop here for breakfast, brunch, or lunch!

It gives that colorful fun Florida vibe and instantly brings up your mood! We got the spiced orange latte and I didn't love it. The coffee seemed a bit watery but it was iced and usually iced coffee doesn't present the flavors as well as a warm drink so I can't be too picky on that. They added a nice orange slice on top and I'm a sucker for cute little additions like that. The barista was really patient with me and sweet even tho I changed my mind mid order because I saw a different drink. Their to go cups are not simple which I love so they can still be photographed and appreciated. They are very pricy tho, definitely west coast prices instead of east and it wasn't worth it for me but it might be someone else's cup of tea, or cup of coffee!

If you can only get one item, get the turkey melt. The most fresh extra thinly sliced turkey and a side of the most delicious pickle. I haven't experienced a deli sandwich this good in a long time.

We ended up at another coffee shop across the street and used their bathroom.

I finally got a chance to try the coffee shop located in the lobby of the Hollander Hotel, and I'm…read moreglad I did! The space is cute, cozy and very welcoming. Deb (I believe that was her name) waited on me, and she was friendly and cheerful - she had a big smile on her face the whole time. I ordered the cinnamon bun latte, and it was delicious - just the right amount of flavoring, and it came out nice and hot. They offer several syrup flavors for lattes and even have non-fat milk, which is a huge bonus since not every place does. My latte was under $5, which is extremely reasonable for the area! There's also a pastry case filled with tempting desserts, I didn't try one this time, but I definitely plan to on my next visit. Seating inside is a bit limited, but there's a covered porch and sidewalk seating if you'd like to enjoy your coffee outdoors. I told my friend about it, and we're both excited to come back soon!

It is located in the Hollander Hotel, but it has entrances both through the hotel, and directly to the street. The hotel's restaurant was doing a brisk business, but fortunately I was the only one in the small coffee shop.

A gentleman came in to order breakfast when I was leaving, and it sounded like they serve more than just the pastries they offer in the bakery display case, so this would good be a good spot for breakfast to go.

It's a tiny store- there's hardly room inside for a few people to stand comfortably but fortunately they have outdoor seating- but that's still only half a dozen or so tables. I tried the Mexican Mocha, as I always enjoy trying "spicy" drinks. This one met expectations, with a little cayenne kick at the end of the sip after a strong mocha taste, it was just right. Their breakfast sandwiches were also fantastic, pretty simple but that's what made it work. They had some other drink options like kombucha or mushroom lattes; I almost tried the mushroom one but just wanted real coffee so maybe next time. There is a bathroom hidden in the corner of the shop if you can squeeze in there. I will say here, Southside (Coffee) is the best side (aka coffee).

Place: Perry's Porch Server: Aaron…read moreDining Experience: Perfection This establishment kept popping up on my algorithm on Instagram, so you know what that means -- it's the Universe telling me to go! My friend met me for dinner last night and from the first interaction with the hostess, to our dining experience with Aaron, the food, and the people watching...it simply got an A+. When I'm dining out, I need equal parts ambience, aesthetics, and the quality of food that hits my palate. The crispness of the Sauvignon Blanc was beautiful. For an appetizer we shared the crispy artichokes and trufflekopita. Both are a must try! They continuously give you a mouthful of flavor and are perfectly seasoned. For our entrees, we got the chicken francaise. The bucatini it was served on was delicious. For sides, we ordered roasted vegetables and OMGGGGGGG, get the Rosemary bread. The cherry on top was our service from Aaron and his recommendations on dishes and accompaniments. Superb all the way around - we will be back!

For this visit, I had the blackened chicken sandwich on an onion ciabatta toasted bun with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a sweet mustard sauce, served with a side of salt and vinegar French fries. The chicken sandwich was very good. I think a little more blackened seasoning would elevate this to the next level. I also felt the bread-to-chicken ratio was off. There was just too much bread and not enough chicken. The French fries are highly addictive. They also have an excellent selection of cocktails which are awesome! Two of my favorites are the Pink Streets Margarita and the Sunken Gardens. The service is excellent, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, I am looking forward to coming back to Perry's Porch for another lunch.
