    Did you know The Wild Iris was featured in several Hallmark movies?

    Went to The Wild Iris for the first time and had excellent service and food! We ate outside under the shade of an umbrella and enjoyed our coffees and food. Dana provided friendly service and handled our orders with care! Will be back!

    Super cute place I've been wanting to come here for a while lots of outside seating and dog friendly. Vegan options. They only serve served bottled soda/ water at a premium price. The sandwich was good, even though it was quite small. I also had their quinoa salad as a side, which was delicious.

    Cane for lunch at 1pm on a Sunday. I asked for a chicken salad sandwich, they brought out a grilled chicken sandwich instead. They forgot about the latte and Coca Cola that we ordered at the beginning. Service was a bit slow aside from that. But my friend really enjoyed her quinoa salad and her daughters liked the grilled cheese. Nice that they have a kids menu.

    Visiting from out of town makes this place a hard stop because I want one near me now! The house the cafe sits in is gorgeous and the staff is so welcoming and helpful. It is pet friendly and has a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options with a healthy menu of deliciously paired creations! I had the cantaloupe stuffed with chicken salad perfectly balanced with shredded chicken celery and mayo , sweet potato home fries with a gentle kick of spices ,a butterscotch muffin full of flavor that melts in your mouth served fresh and warm with a tulsi mango peach tea . Every bite was savored and I can't wait to return and try more things my next visit to the area!!!The owner was involved in Hallmark movies production and they sell some merch . I also want to brag on the mini trash can on the table because every restaurant should have these!!Thanks for all you do here!!

    Didn't know that they were in any movies. I guess I will need to watch The Hallmark Channel.

    Great little place tucked away in Dunedin. Service was great and the atmosphere was casual. They do let you know which "Hallmark" movies were shot there so if you like that sort of thing then look up the movies and watch them. The food was reasonable and tasty. I will go again if I am in the area.

    My family and I got the wild Cobb salad (with the unique shrimp and crab medley), roasted beet salad, chicken salad stuffed cantaloupe, and Dunedin chicken sandwich. Loved the wild Cobb salad even though the shredded cheddar was an interesting and atypical choice. My sister is obsessed with the chicken salad in a half of cantaloupe. It comes with macaroni salad and either a blueberry muffin or peanut butter chocolate chip muffin. The Dunedin chicken sandwich was delicious, especially with the chili aioli, but was relatively small in size. It comes with a side - you can pick up from items like a quinoa salad or home fries. The Bloody Mary was good. Service was attentive and responsive, and there were cute Christmas decorations and a kids play area outside. Great ambiance outdoors and dog-friendly.

    Visiting from out of town and daughter took us here. What a fun place for a relaxing breakfast, brunch or lunch. We sat on the outside patio which is in a garden like setting. Birds chirping flowering plants everywhere. Friendly service and delicious food. Had the guacamole toast with a poached with a pot of tea, and husband had the Hash and a cold brew. We will be back!

    Nova Lox Benedict. Yes please!

    The bacon and avocado omelet was amazing. I had a piece of avocado in every bite. The biscuit was also very flaky and had layers to it which I really enjoyed. This restaurant has the cutest atmosphere. I love being able to sit outside. I noticed some toys in the back corner of the courtyard area so it would be a nice place to bring your kids and have a play date. The service was very good and the food came out very hot and quick. I would definitely go back.

    Raw French toast

    I came here for breakfast with my parents and was hopeful since I've always wanted to try this place and I ordered French toast. The first piece of French toast was fine but when I got to the middle of the second one the entire inside was covered and oozing in cold raw egg not cooked at all and I accidentally consumed some before realizing. The waitress was really nice the whole time, but when she took my plate she immediately realized it was raw. She told me I should've told her and I said "no it's okay" which is my fault because I should have said something, but I didn't want to cause an issue for them. The conversation ended at that, no compensation was offered, they kept it on our bill, we paid and left. Unfortunately we will not be returning here and it was not worth what we paid at all.

There's so many different options and they always offer seasonal drinks that I enjoy trying. One thing I would definitely recommend is their bacon egg croissant with the hot honey or cracked pepper so good!!!! They do have seating inside, but it's Dunedin... You can always take your coffee, walk around or find a nice bench to sit on.

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.
