Keke's Breakfast Cafe — Restaurant in Florida

I will start by saying that I love breakfast. As an intermittent faster, I will eat early some evenings just to be able to enjoy a good breakfast in the morning. So having visited Canopy Road on US1 at Old St Augustine and frequently hitting up First Watch, I was driving through the Walmart area off Racetrack thinking, "I wish there was a breakfast place around here." And there was Keke's.

There are many things to love at Keke's and a scant few unfortunate items as well... but I will start with the good news.

Firstly I was seated quickly and one thing I liked right away was it's all booths. So guess what. You're getting a booth! 1 point for Keke's!

The service at Keke's is fast and friendly and my waiter, Ashley did an amazing job! She was pleasant and easy to communicate with and got everything out quickly and just as ordered.

I got three eggs over medium with wheat toast and a side of bacon and the eggs were cooked perfectly!

This is a small thing but the coffee cup and the water glass had a nice weight to them and the silverware was a good thickness. You think this doesn't matter, but thin forks say a lot about a place.

Now a couple of small things for honesty's sake...

The egg specials only come with toast and home fries. The bacon is a side you have to order separately. I would rather just pay more for the egg plate and have the meat come with.

The home fries for me were nothing to write home about. They have that scalloped potato cut and resemble something an aunt brought for Thanksgiving that you just kind of push around your plate. Not crispy or particularly special... just there.

The only other item I noticed was the unfortunate positioning of the windows. The huge front windows face east with no shades. This results in the rising sun just glaring through the windows. Some folks enjoy a lot of natural light... like a LOT of natural light!!! But it was too much for me. The good news is there is a big wall running down the middle of the booths, so if you're there and don't wish to be blinded, just ask to sit on the other side.

Keep in mind other folks were just sitting in the sun, eating and chattering away, so it clearly doesn't bother everyone... but it was definitely something I noticed.

Overall it was a solid breakfast experience with a friendly staff, good coffee, good bacon and perfectly cooked eggs for a very reasonable price! Good atmosphere for family or friends.

I am not a pancake guy, so I can't speak to their pancake, waffle, french toast game... but if they cook them as well as their eggs, then you should...

It was a quiet Monday afternoon.....at 1:30pm. We had always wanted to try eating at KeKe's Breakfast Cafe; however, due to the pockets of people assembled outside at any given day, waiting patiently for their tables, it was always a no go.

Today was different. It was quiet, it was an hour before closing, on a Monday, it was the perfect time to eat at KeKe's -- or so we thought.

We gently pulled one of the two double doors open. It gently swung outward revealing a completely empty foyer -- a spacious foyer, with a hostess station located just off to the side. Upon approaching the hostess, we were asked for our name and telephone number and advised there would be a 5 minute wait. A 5 mint wait?

Just past the hostess podium an isle stretches out to the far wall. On the left, against a row of windows, was a about 7 empty tables. They remained empty, as if mocking us while we gave our name. We felt providing our phone number would be unnecessary.

The empty foyer, with it's spacious waiting area, provided ample seating while we waited. Gazing off to the right of us revealed more empty seats. After several minutes, a gentleman returned from outside and sat down -- he was waiting as well. He was ahead of us in line.

After 10 minutes we sat down. It was our opinion that the wait staff were all moving in slow motion, as if walking not through air, but is if trudging through thick, invisible soup.

We were presented with our menus. One page, double sided, laminated, menus with small print -- breakfast on one side, lunch on the other. The food offerings were great!

We placed our order....and waited...and waited....and waited. The decor looked dated, the lighting was dark, the mood was dreary, the employees appeared sad.

After a considerable amount of time, our food arrived -- plate by plate.... I guess as it was being made. How odd.

The food was okay. I'd say a 6 out of 10. Our waitress continued to walk at a snails pace and then told us that we should pay because she wanted to go home.

The manager asked us how our experience was and we told him. He was a nice gentleman who explained that they were short staffed. We explained that their existing staff seemed interested in going home.

All in all, I am not enthused. Having to wait for a table while over 10 tables are available is unacceptable. None of the staff seemed as if they wanted to be working. The kitchen was slow, and the entire experience...
