Tupelo's Bakery & Cafe - Quiche - Fantastico. Molto bene - Bakeries Near Me - Monticello, Florida

I've had several different quiches and they all have been amazing as well as their breakfast burrito which normally I would turn my nose up back but decided to try it and it is amazing. The one today had Gouda cheese, egg, and spinach. The chocolate chip cookies are delicious. We just moved into the neighborhood and we really love this place. read more

Tupelo's doesn't have a big menu, but it was big enough. Sandwiches and salads basically. And quiche or another daily special. There is a separate little shop in this restaurant, where they sell all kinds of Honey, and many other items that are great for little gifts. My only complaint is that even if you are eating there rather than getting takeout, everything is in plastic containers, and there are plastic forks and plastic cups. I just don't see the point of not having even a small dishwasher, and just filling the landfill with plastic when there's not really a reason. It was also hard to eat with just a small plastic fork. Next time I go there, I will bring my own plate and flatware :-) read more

Food is always fresh and delicious Service is friendly, welcoming and always excellent. Ambiance is warm, cozy and homey. I always enjoy going to Tupelo's and bringing visiting relatives and friends there. read more

Tupelo's Bakery & Cafe is a pillar of Monticello. I need more every time-- I can eat from here indefinitely. The sandwiches are enormous and stacked with the best quality bread and freshest ingredients. The pastries alone outmatch 90% of the competition not in the local competition, not in the state, but the entire country. I need more scones. I need more cookies. I need more Tupelo's. The staff, management, and owner(s) are a methodical formula numerous businesses desire to emulate and perfect. The interior is a mix (to my mind) of a retro diner with a pâtisserie-- and it is wonderful. The store adjoining it with merchandise such as clothing, books, accessories is wonderful as well. Thank you everyone who may read this for years of the best service and most amazing foods. read more

The BLTs and the quiche are the best. My husband has to have a BLT every day they're open. Staff is friendly and helpful in every way. And the desserts are amazing. read more

Tasty, hearty sandwiches and delicious desserts . Clean, and large dining area. Service with a smile! Definitely will be back.

I had the Hippie Chick Sandwich with a Lemon Cake Slice (lemon curd filling/cream cheese icing) for dessert...my friend had the pesto grilled cheese with a cupcake for dessert. Tickled pink with our meals! Just, wow! So good. Filling. Tasty. Freshly baked bread! Everything tasted like they know exactly what they're doing. The lemon cake was a special delight for me as I am a sucker for a really good filling: a very rich dessert, but a very special treat! Cute "honey" gift shop in the cafe and also an art room for classes but has local works on display in the art room, and in the main dining area...a nice little place to browse. We dined alfresco on the back patio which was nice on a gorgeous day. (Not quiet (there's an AC unit just off the patio) but gorgeous weather AND we got to pet a local dog, which was plus plus plus and put the dining experience into the bonus for me.) I'm looking forward to going back and I want to try the Tab next time, which has a different twist for me on a turkey sandwich- "The Tab: Boar's Head Turkey, Vermont cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, fresh apple slices tossed in a little lemon and cinnamon, a dab of our homemade apple butter and mayo. Pressed hot to perfection!" read more

We had a very enjoyable lunch here recently. Salad with chicken was delicious, and the loaf of sourdough bread we brought home made us very happy!! read more

This is an adorable bakery & cafe! The menu wasn't extensive but the food was delicious. I tried the TAB sandwich, which was so yummy. It had bacon, turkey, and apple. It was a perfect combo. I also got a peanut butter sandwich for my daughter and she enjoyed it too. The desserts also looked very yummy. Overall, this is a solid spot. It's also very clean and prices were very affordable. I'd highly recommend this spot if you're in Monticello. They also have a great little side store which sells honey. They had a great variety of honeys, shirts, towels and loads of other goodies. That's another great spot to browse. read more

Came through the downtown area on the way back from donating items to the local school. My friend wanted to stop at what she described as "a great little place." The cafe is just the right size, indoor seating (there appeared to be one table outside). Good service. I ordered a piece of tomato/feta/spinach quiche and a slice of zucchini bread. My friend ordered the hippie chick salad and a slice of lemon cake. From what I understand, many of their ingredients come from local farms; the to-go container for my quiche appeared to be very biodegradable, which is great; love when restaurants are eco-friendly! While waiting for our order, we were able to step over a few feet to a nice little "gift shop like" store - Full Moon Farm Store. This store had all kinds of goodies, from locally made honey (various flavors) to goat milk scented soaps to essential oils. The young lady at the cash register in the store was so very pleasant. Back to our lunch - I enjoyed the quiche; some spinach on the top was a bit "crispy," but that was fine; the zucchini bread was tasty, though I did not care much for the chocolate chips that I didn't realize were in the bread. My friend enjoyed the chicken salad and her cake. I will plan to visit again and try that famous chicken salad - and perhaps the scones. read more

Excellent chicken salad and baked goods! I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a great lunch option,

Best bakery anywhere. Lived in France quite a while and the quiche here is better. They also have great sandwiches and soups. Different choices every day of muffins, brownies and other assorted pastries. Wish they would start doing cappuccinos. read more

Kim and team are creative and know how to make their food and baked goods stand out. Food is amazing. Store has a great casual vibe and is the spot to meet up with friends. Make this cake a while back to support a girlfriend dealing with breathing cancer. Did a cake to share that we are here to support you! And that we did. read more

Super cute and yummy. Everything we tried was good and the service was good but not "fast". Plan on looking in the store and chatting with friends. read more

great food. always fresh. amazing scones and sandwiches!! Hippy Chick and Italian Stallion are our faves!!

Although a seemingly quaint cafe in a small town, Tupelo's packs a flavorful punch! I have stopped in multiple times over the years while working in the Monticello area and always recommend this cafe to friends. They're scones are the best I've had in the entire area and always on my order when I come in. Seriously, the blueberry scones are incredible! You can taste the fresh berries and the pastry just crumbles apart in your hands. Pair them up with a nice cup of coffee and sandwich, and you're set! Thank you Tupelo's for providing the perfect reason to stop when driving through Monticello! read more

The worst part about this place is the fact that you'll get full way before you get the chance to try every insanely delicious item from their bakery. Warning; Do not try this place or you will instantly be addicted. read more

I work in downtown Monticello and Tupelo's is my favorite place to sneak over for some treats lol. Everyone that works here is so nice and they have a large variety of things to choose from. I recommend this place to everyone read more

Tupelooooos. Love stopping here on road trips. Good coffee, clean bathrooms, cute vibe to the area.

Stopped in for lunch after picking up some beef ribs at Johnston's Meat Market, had their Southwest salad with cilantro lime dressing. Salad was AWESOME, I even enjoyed the cilantro dressing. Tupelo's is always great for breakfast, brunch or lunch. read more

Planned a farewell party there in April. The tables were set together for about 15 of us. We ordered over the phone and put it on one tab. They even made a cake and decorated it for us as requested. Very helpful the day of, and all went off well. I'll be going back for sure. read more

Wonderful food, great customer service, interesting and I wish I could start everyday with breakfast there

Amazing sandwiches, they don't cheat you on the meat and the produce is local and fresh. The young ladies working the counter are very friendly. Great place for lunch plus cute little shops of local artisans. read more

The best scone I have ever eaten! I'm pretty old too so I've eaten a lot of scones. Great service and very clean.

Came to this place from a recommendation from a friend as a place that supports local food. It's 5 miles off the highway so would never have found it. This place was very open and quiet. Tables were all types of different dining tables, ones you might find in your house, which made for a very cozy feel. Most of the food items were organic. Many baked goods including bread made daily. I went with the Italian Stallion sandwich. I love fresh bread. It just has a certain taste you'll never get from the grocery store. The dressing for the sandwich was especially tasty. Really a gem of a fund and a nice alternative to fast food if you're on the road. Will be sure to eat here again next time I drive through. read more

Turkey and Swiss, and Quiche, and the Best baby greens salad! I've been going since opening day 1....

You can't go wrong at Tupelo's. Their baked good and pastries are the BEST in North Florida!

I'm officially weirdly obsessed with these chocolate chip cookies. Can my wife have the recipe?

uhm honestly it doesn't even make sense how good this place is. like I literally will drive 40 min for their TAB sandwich and a piece of cake. like literally my favorite place. read more

This is a local gem! The sandwiches were awesome! Service was wonderful. Passing through for business and wish I could eat here more than once! read more

Great little gem out of the way. Stopped here after visiting with friends on our way to Mississippi. Love the fact that local farmers are providing the goods here. read more

Breaking with our tradition, The Fat Guys crew moved the Friday Night Dinner Club to Saturday afternoon and made a somewhat abbreviated road trip to Monticello. FL. We've lived here since 1985 and have never visited Monticello. The plan was to eat lunch and do a bit of shopping. Our destination? The Tupelo Bakery and Cafe. Tupelo bills itself as using local organic ingredients whenever possible. Meats and cheeses are Boar's Head. Sandwiches do not come with any sides, so opt for the bagged chips if you need something extra. And notice that "Bakery" is the first word -- this is primarily a bakery that adds a few sandwiches. The decor is eclectic -- local artist Patty Maney paintings adorn the walls, there's a room featuring local honey, a "Wild Child" room, several mismatched tables, a couple of chairs and a couch. There's an exchange library to take advantage of, too. Quite comfortable it is. My partner had the Turkey and Swiss press. Today's bread was honey wheat so that's what the sandwiches were prepped on. Turkey and Swiss were paired with organic spinach and garlic cream cheese, then pressed. Nice press marks, warmed through, this was deemed a "very good" sandwich. My choice was the "Super Club". Again, honey wheat bread with turkey, ham, bacon, organic greens, onions, and tomato dressed with canola mayo and mustard. While I would not use the term "Super" for this sandwich, it was good. The sweet tea is quite good -- not "diabetic shock" sweet as Southern iced tea tends to be, but perfectly sweetened for our palates. Would we make the 30 minute drive just for lunch at Tupelo's? Probably not. But in conjunction with a shopping trip it makes for a nice respite. Be aware that lunch is served only from 11:30 to 1:30 Tuesday thru Saturday, so schedule carefully. We like that Tupelo utilizes local ingredients and that they support the Jefferson County Humane Society. read more

Ordered their tomato/feta/spinach quiche, a breakfast biscuit, pecan bar & zucchini bread. The crust on the quiche was super flakey & the egg filling very smooth. The biscuit was perfect - soft on the inside & just a little bit of a crisp on the outside. Our bread & bar were awesome as well. Super friendly shop to boot. Definitely worth stopping by! read more

Cutest little quaint place and incredible food. The couscous is amazing. They serve healthy organic fresh food. I left my iPad there and they texted my sister to find me and get it back to me. Amazing honest people. read more

The listing states that it's good for groups but our small group was asked to leave to free up space even with plenty of open tables. Our team of 5 drove up from Tallahassee at 9 am but were discouraged from staying to meet, despite the fact that we purchased food and were open to sitting at the outside tables. read more

Nice little bakery. Great Cup of coffee and the pecan bars are ridiculously good..actually all their baked goods are phenomenal

Living in Monticello, this is my favorite place to eat. Their scones are amazing, and the people are even better.

Always a great meal from here , always clean, the employees are always very nice and polite and also attentive. One of the only good places to have breakfast in downtown Monticello. They have a wonderful atmosphere and even sell home made beeswax products such as soaps and candles and also honeybee apiary supplies. With great prices on everything and great food made from scratch this place would remind you of an evening better but smaller version of Cracker Barrel and no not the one in Tallahassee that Cracker Barrel is very good. read more

Tupelo's is a must-stop every time we pass through Monticello. It's a super unique place with great sandwiches, quiche, baked goods and salads. The staff is uber friendly and the food is consistently awesome. read more
