Andy's Flour Power Cafe & Bakery — Restaurant in Upper Grand Lagoon

Didn’t think this place was worth the hype or the wait, even though our wait was rather short, we arrived before 10. There were several tables sitting empty before we were sat, perhaps bc they are short staffed but the wait and people were more significant upon leaving. The staff seemed overwhelmed and even confused at times. I ordered from the bakery while we waited. The chocolate croissant and blueberry turnover, both were cold but tasted good. I also got a key lime pie slice for my husband, he said it was good but frozen and seemed more like ice cream as it came to room temp.

My husband and I ordered omelets. I had the Surf and Turf and he had the Ham and Cheese. I subbed peppers for mushrooms and it was tasty, I enjoyed the bisque atop, but the filling was not proportioned within the omelette, there were lots of veggies on one end and bacon on the other. The ham in the other omelette was cubed salad ham and was just ok. We also ordered a Belgian waffle and it was good but smaller than I expected and I’ve had better. The coffee I ordered was horrible. I ordered the Emerald Coast hot, and it tasted like potted Folgers with too much sweeter. I didn’t drink but a few sips it was just so bad.

You check out in the bakery and again the staff seemed overwhelmed and confused. Even not enjoying their work and frustrated. Their toaster wasn’t working properly it seemed and not all baked goods are kept in that area. I saw one of the employees touch a turnover with her bare hand to check for warmth 😳. When we were leaving, close to 11. Parking was awful. People were whipping around the back corners and some cars were parked in the grass on the street.

Overall I wasn’t impressed with this place,...

If I could rate higher than 5 stars I totally would. Visiting from Charleston, SC. Our first time here at Andy’s. Let me just say, the food was INCREDIBLE, the service was PHENOMENAL, the atmosphere was STUNNING. Will absolutely be returning here. Once we arrived we were sat immediately in a booth by the super kind hostess. Within less than a minute our waitress Jennifer greeted us to get us started. At first we were sure what we wanted - she was so pleasant and kind enough to give us top picks and some direction to help us decide. Shortly after we ordered our food was out hot and fresh! BLT with avocado and Cafe Skillet were unreal. Every bite full of so much flavor. The chefs definitely know what they’re doing and clearly take a lot of time with their meals, and all the food was also plated SO beautifully. Was able to finish both meals without feeling “gross” about how much we ate, Lol! As we were eating, Andy himself came to greet us and check in on how we were doing. It felt like we were talking to a close family friend with how warm and inviting he was. As we continued to eat, we also noticed Andy was greeting all the customers with the same welcoming demeanor. Everyone is family here. I’ve never been so pleased and genuinely shocked at a restaurant. If you’re in the area - you HAVE to stop by. Once again, if I could rate this place higher I...

Have eaten here several times, its been adequate, nothing outstanding. Went today, they advise a 20 minute wait. I counted ten open tables. It was about 1/2 an hour, finally seated. Now nine tables open. Ask the waitress what the issue was. She stated the kitchen is not able to keep up with a full restaurant, therefore they will only seat to a little 1/2 full. Sounds to me like they need to get a new kitchen staff or more then likely a new manager that can actually run a full restaurant. Order the breakfast burrito, minus the tomatoes. Waitress advise that is not possible. She stated all the burritos are pre made "which is disturbing enough" and they are not capable of making a fresh one minus one simple ingredient. I kid you not. Wife order a simple danish. Waitress seemed put out because apparently she has to walk all the way to the front to obtain said danish. Wife finally got her food about ten minutes after the rest of us. Again a single simple danish. So will the manger read this? No. He is too busy dancing in the restaurant with an amateur saxophone player, playing really bad jazz music. *Not kidding. If you decide to endure the circus of bad customer service and subpar food. Go on a weekday, not a weekend. And trust me there is a lot better food, at better prices and better service...
