East Lake Cafe

Cute café. Breakfast was good, not great. Menus were rather dirty. I had the California Benedict which was ok, ordered grits as a side that I could hardly eat due to being so bland. My other half got the Smoked Salmon Benedict which was much better than my selection. His had flavor and was seasoned. I’ll definitely concider going back, maybe it’s a hit or miss?

From Port Orange, nice West Coast not been in 30 years n my boyfriend n I went there had a the best apple bacon turkey club so tasty so delisting

Good food. Ordered eggs Benedict. Would definitely dine again. Service wasn’t that great. Sat outside and it took a while for my table to be greeted and same thing happened to another table. Server not too friendly.

My best friend and I come here whenever I visit for the weekend and each and every time, it’s like we have to beg to get a waitress to acknowledge our existence. Even when we get a waitress’ attention, they are never friendly nor do they exude any type of friendly mannerisms.
Coming from the restaurant industry myself I am very critical of waitresses and waiters and this place has to be one of the most unorganized places I’ve ever been too. Food is great though and that is why we come back.

Solid offerings on the menu, however bland and prepared oddly. I would be happier with this restaurant if the prices were lower. It portrays a diner atmosphere based off of the employees lack of concern of the guests needs, décor, and quality of food. If it’s busy be prepared to receive a French vanilla cappuccino when ordering a coffee-​or-​the dishes coming out not as ordered (wrong side parings) while not having anyone to address the understandable issues with. Drive to safety harbor! Same quality, or better food at many of the restaurants while easier on the wallet. Cost isn’t a concern for us when dining out, however I don’t enjoy feeling ripped off, as I have many times leaving east lake café.

Check in coupon says 4 for 20
Its really 4 OFF 20
Food was ok at best, and they didn’t care to fix the error with the coupon.

The food was awesome. Eggs Benedict is perfection and the honey butter for the Belgian waffle yummy.

I went for Mother’s Day, it was packed but they tried there best and it was the only place we could get in. My husband and I had a beautiful breakfast and they even gave us a flower and complimentary pastries. The waitress was busy but still attentive and very friendly. I ate a quiche which was gigantic but cooked perfectly and my husband enjoyed a Mediterranean wrap.
Don’t ruin this review by removing it until this business pays you ! Small business owners do not deserve it !

Breakfast was good. Unfortunately service was not. The severs aren’t assigned specific tables so you don’t actually have a server. Different employees walk by at different intervals and do things. They weren’t very good with manners or customer service. We asked for coffee with extra cream. The server said «I can only bring you black coffee. «We all kind of looked at her and then she said «you have cream on the table you can use yourself» Absolutely no smile. A different person walked up and said «are you ready to order or not? Do you need more time? «Again no smile. No one introduced themselves. No one said good morning. We won’t go back even though our food was decent.

The food was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. Our service was excellent. Great place!!!

Always fresh and delicious. I get a special almost every week, and there’s always something new and tasty. This is one of my favorite places to get food that tastes like real food. Nice atmosphere (indoors or out). Good service.

I make sure to bring the family a few times a month. It’s our favorite breakfast spot in the area. The staff is always friendly and attentive. My daughter loves the Mickey Mouse pancakes and I’m addicted to the muffaletta

Once again another incredible stack of Chocolate Lovers Pancakes! Excellent food and service. My favorite place for breakfast/​brunch. We often have some friends join us and they enjoy the food and service as well. Thanks and see you next week.

This is our little gem. We bring our dog and sit outside. Today we had the muffuletta with fries. The best sandwich there!

Wow! What a hidden gem. I’ve driven by this shopping center dozens of times and have never noticed this place before.
A friend suggested we meet her for lunch and I’m glad we did.
I was in the mood for some type of breakfast dish and decided upon the veggie quiche. It was fantastic! It came with fresh fruit and a fresh blueberry muffin. At $ 9 this was a great option and one I would order again.
I’m looking forward to taking my family here for breakfast.

This was the first time I have ever been here, shocking considering I live .5 miles away and frequently visit the other business’s in the plaza.
Decided today was the day to try it out.
The décor is dated, seriously strange decorations, they must be catering to a older crowd, and that exactly what they got on this day… at 40, I felt like the youngest in the restaurant.
I thought the menu was overpriced, although the selection was pretty solid and it appeared of you wanted a solid breakfast this might be a good spot… we were there for lunch so we ordered 2 club sandwiches, both the hostess and the elderly waitstaff seemed like they didn’t enjoy their jobs… why does the staff here look so unhappy?
Our clubs arrived, strange that even though the only difference in our order was the type of bread, the two sandwiches were very different. They had different cheeses and one had lots of ham, little turkey… the other had lots of turkey, little ham??? I could do without the olives on the toothpicks as well, but that’s just a bit nit picky. The elderly guests probably enjoy the olives… lol.
This place is in need of a serious update if they expect to draw any non-​retirees.

Excellent food with friendly and efficient service. There is specials on the menu daily so the food never gets boring

Went for breakfast with friends and my coffee smelled like fish. I asked for another and it still smelled bad. I ended up not drinking it even though I had a killer caffeine headache.
The floor… was so dirty that I didn’t want my feet to be touching it…
On the plus side, the food tasted pretty decent, but due to the sanitation and fish smelling coffee, I probably wont ever be going back again.

DISGUSTING!
Dirtiest place around. Gross scum all over our table.
we wanted to sit outside and it looked like it might rain a little, our greeting was «if it rains i’m not coming back out here» from our waitress.
i wish she didn’t come back out, would of saved me $ 15 and myself from a gross meal.
forgot what i had, but it doesnt matter, i wouldnt eat here if i could eat free everytime i came.
place should be shut down its so dirty. they had a dirty dish tub stacked a mile high with dishes (it wasn’t busy), RIGHT next to our table, AND we were OUTSIDE!
makes me sick knowing they are still serving food
salt and pepper shakers have so much scum on them they collect hair.

I’ve been to this place a couple times, since it’s just down the street from me. I have no complaints about the food. It’s not my favorite, but it’s tasty. I came here only to write a short review because each time I’ve been the service is horrible! They seem to tag team the tables, and either you can’t get anyone, or you get a parade of people asking if you need anything. And no one seems to dang happy to be there.
On my last visit with two friends, the waitress brought my friend water, when she ordered tea. The waitress said, «oh so you want tea now, i’ll have to go get it». Ummm, no. My friend ordered tea, you are wrong. Even if she was right, not how you speak to your customer.
Due to the below average service and general attitude of «you are making my day harder» of the servers, I won’t be going back, unless a friend really, really, wants to…
