Cafe Genovese - St Johns (FL)

5 /5 Gilbert Nichols: I came to the restaurant for the first time to talk to the owners and maybe enjoy a hot coffee. When I saw the menu and the prices I thought I would like to eat something. So many good choices and I settled for the Belgian waffle and sausage links. I already had eaten eggs earlier this morning but when I saw that they had Log Cabin syrup with NO High Fructose Corn Syrup, my mind was made up! The coffee was hot. Hannah, my server, did a great job! My food tasted fresh; and I learned that Mario, the owner, was the chef. The restaurant was going to close shortly after I left but Im glad I bypassed Grumpys with people waiting to get in for overpriced food and enjoy a local diner atmosphere instead. You have to make a date to visit this cafe. The regulars sitting at the bar reminded me of the sitcom, Cheers, where everyone was friendly and helpful. Oh, and they served real butter too. No margarine crap! Way to go, Mario!!

5 /5 Bryan Griggs: If you want delicious food that was cooked with love then this is your place! Family run restaurant where everyone knows each other and is enjoying company! The staff and owners seem like they are family with all the patrons and have friendly conversations with everyone! You just feel good eating here and I wish more places were like this! Highly recommended!!

5 /5 Straight Edge: A true hidden gem! The food is amazing, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. This locally owned spot is perfect for breakfast or lunch, with plenty of delicious vegan and vegetarian options. I highly recommend the veggie omelette, the home fries, and their fresh, flavorful salads

5 /5 Tyler Bell: That’s gotta be one of the best corn beef hash breakfasts I’ve ever had. The food was seasoned super well, perfectly crispy and delicious. Great service and atmosphere, this place is a breakfast gem.

5 /5 Stephen Jorgensen: Awesome place for a great and hearty breakfast. If Im in the area this is my go to spot. Staff is always courteous, welcoming and efficient no matter how busy they are. Food is outstanding. Corned beef hash and omelets are the best. Definitely worth the visit.
