Lovely, warm and welcome are the three words that come to mind when I think of this place. Had their Gumbo and peach cobbler and they were wonderful, only to be matched by their friendly customer service. Overall, I will continue to come back.
we order from here frequently and all of the staff are very nice, the food and service is great!!
Food was fresh and fast! Very clean establishment!!
We started visiting the Downtown Cafe when we moved to Live Oak in 2020. We love the owners and neighbors we meet there so 5 on atmosphere. But the food is awesome. Also loved the way they recovered from devastating flood of our downtown last summer. They are a real service to our community when the hurricanes come through. Thank you so much for all the homemade cakes on Sunday's. Especially Pecan, says Bob. 🥰
I met a friend for lunch. She selected the place. We had the red pepper, gouda soup with a Waldorf chicken salad wrap. I really enjoyed mine. Clean, fresh and delicious.
So we did go again, closer to 12pm. Wow crowded. However, the food was delicious as before & the service was great. I will say that you might have difficulty finding a table. Some people though. We luckily found a table just vacated. There was a table that had a coffee & a laptop with someone's personal belongings. It sat vacant of anyone & no one else could use this table. Well about 45+ minutes after we had come in, this one guy who had been outside on his phone. We thought nothing of it. Well he came back in. Then sat at his computer working on whatever it was. They get busy & tables fill up plus you have table hogs. There special was a Wardolf Wrap & tried their Potato Bacon soup. Both were delicious. They have a lot of baked goodies. August 2019 We hadn't been here before, we must change that. This place has good food. You can get freshly baked items, delicious soups & sandwiches. I decided to take a chance on their Reuben Sandwich & it is by far one of the best Reuben Sandwiches I have had in years. I was really impressed with their homemade soups & we were going to split a Blondie but took it home. I decided to try it & forgot to share it. It is nice inside. We sat by the window & you can hear the traffic but it isn't so intrusive. Actually the most bothersome noise was by another customer who just had to have a loud cell phone call. This is a small restaurant, most of their business seems more take out. If you must take a call then go outside, esp when people can't hear each other over your obnoxiously loud phone call in such a small area. We will be going again & they close early like 2:30pm.
Shelley was incredible. Such a sweet lady. Super nice and the entire place gave a homey vibe. Sandwiches were on point. Great spot
Stopped in here for an early lunch while attending the Florida Bike Safari. Was not disappointed- great comfort food, good coffee, and friendly staff in a very relaxed atmosphere. Since I arrived right as they opened I had the entire place to myself, but I imagine this place is packed with locals after Sunday church or other more regular hours. An excellent local restaurant! 😎👍
We had a super great meal here! Not only were the people kind, but the portion sizes were perfect! Definitely a great stop!
Very nice quiet place for lunch with my husband. The cashier was really attentive she made sure we had everything we needed before the meal arrived. I had a latte and it was perfect made exactly how I like it.
