Went to this place for first time to meet family who live in the area for breakfast. Very plain decor masks the surprisingly delicious breakfast entrees and attentive and friendly service. We were asked if we wanted to try their fruit fritters for the group to share and We were so glad we did! They are made with fresh fruit of your choice and were decadent and heavenly!!!! Kids will be happy to know that they can make pancakes in the shape of a sea turtle. Our group ordered a variety of entrees; shrimp omlettes, corned beef hash and eggs, and veggie omlettes and a sea turtle pancake. Everyone raved about how good the food was. Reasonably priced too.

I have a lot of friends that were wanting a place just like this in our area. Finally, one opened up close by us. We went to check it out with our kiddos this week, for breakfast. The açaà bowl was super fresh. Loved all of the flavors. Parking is extremely limited out front. The prices were a little high for me to buy my kiddos anything. I bought them breakfast beforehand. Definitely will return.

3. Sweet Edventures Dessert Bar
Reviewed By travelingbillbury
Desserts would be enough, but Sweet Adventures offers much more, including some nice choices for "real" food, and a full range of adult beverages. Wonderful (sort of speakeasy) atmosphere, beautifully decorated. We went for dessert...apple pie was delicious. Many dessert choices, including some from our favorite bakery, Swanky Sweets. Hospitality and service were outstanding. ***Note***No wheelchair access.
