Tourist trap. They had a special orange juice linked as direct from a specific orchard for 4 dollars. It was from concentrate. I ordered a fruit platter with yogurt. The fruit was old and rotten. I am not sure if I came on a bad day because we came because it had good reviews. It did not live up to them.

Great food at a great price! When we were here they seemed short on staff, but the food was still really good. Kids and adults all enjoyed every bite.

Awful food, pancakes uncooked and tasteless. French toast also under cooked tasted like plastic. Chicken fried steak was tough as old shoes. Coffee was watery and horrible. Avoid this terrible place, I got a stomach ache.

Huge portions, fair prices, diner atmosphere must stop by!

Open for breakfast and lunch. Enjoyed a pastrami sandwich, potato salad, and sweet tea. 😋 Shopping is great in the area with time to enjoy a tasty lunch here. Quick, clean, and friendly, kind team. 🥪🥤👍

A Family favorite of ours for years. Highly recommend you come here once on your trip to the area. You won’t regret it! Great food and great vibes eating here!

Service was great and reminds me of being in a New York style cafe. We stopped in after our kayak trip off Lido Key for a late breakfast and it was really nice, clean and fast service. The French toast was good with bacon and coffee.

We visited on a Sunday at around 11:30am - non holiday weekend. We waited briefly for about 10mins to be seated and got our food pretty quickly.

Everything was perfect! My husband always worry that the bacon will be soggy but not at the Blue dolphin cafe! The bacon that came with my food was perfectly cooked.

Will definitely be back when we’re in the area again.
