Zoe's Sweet Kitchen — Restaurant in Florida

I have only been to Zoe's Kitchen twice because I don't live close by. But I would frequent Zoe's for baked goods often. The first time I went in was at the end of the day, so the shelves were not as full as earlier in the day. But, that was no problem because there were still great options to try. Sometimes I eat gluten free, so I tried one blueberry muffin, and one other muffin I can't remember the name. But, Omgg, they honestly were both so moist and delicious! Especially being gluten free. They were a nice big size. The blueberry was PACKED with fresh berries, and the other one (maybe coffee cake or pumpkin? Sorry...) had the topping swirled throughout the muffin, so, it wasn't just on the top. That was unique. I loved it! I will update this if I can find out the exact muffin. I also had a slice of bread pudding (NOT gluten free) that came with a sauce! OKAY, if you love bread pudding, this is it. If you take it to go, be sure to warm up the sauce and pour, or dip your bread pudding. But heating it is key. It changes it when it's warm - it becomes more burttery and flavorsome. The slice of bread pudding is a perfect texture....not soft and mushy, but more solid, but still very moist and satisfying chew. Its the perfect sweetness, like, mildly sweet so that the sauce compliments it with a perfect balance sweet-wise. It's filling, so don't be worried if you don't get a giant piece. It will be enough. I tried carrot cake!!YESS! It will satisfy your sweet tooth...it is sweet, as its supposed to be...and your love for carrot cake will be rewarded. It was a nice heaviness with lots of goodies inside. The second time I went to Zoe's, I tried a BEAUTIFUL pink and red velvet cake!! It's honestly sooo pretty, and it tastes as good as it looks! I will include a photo of the slice, but it doesn't do it justice. In the photo, it's traveled home and got knocked around (flew off the seat at a stop light, lol) but you will see the colors. The pink cake is a bit lighter and fluffier in texture than the red velvet layer, which is heavier, being the true red velvet layer. The icing is very light and fluffy, and MAY have cream cheese, but I'm not sure. If its there, its super subtle. But the cake is so lovely visually and in taste. Its super girlie 💓 and my husband loved it too!! I haven't been so happy over a piece of cake in a long time. I also tried a bar that had a coconut topping, tons of soft chocolate chips, maybe caramel and nuts?? And a Graham cracker base. I will.post a photo. THIS is for your wildest sweet tooth craving. Its solid, but surprisingly soft. I though the chocolate chips would have hardened, but they transformed into a luscious chocolate layer. The whole bite is satisfying, and buttery with the crust. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I met Zoe on my first visit. She is AMAZING!!! This is her 5th year with the shop. It's survived covid, hurricane Ian, hurricane Dalia, and other unforseen events. The staff I met on my second visit were as friendly and warm as Zoe. So not only is the baking clearly made with love and care, but the staff is also filled with love, and they seem to genuinely care about making customers feel great :) Thank you Zoes Sweet Kitchen!! They serve sit down restaurant-style menu service as well, like breakfast etc., but I haven't...

We saw this place online and it had good reviews, so we figured why not try it. We walk in, normal chaos on a Sunday morning for breakfast, but not overly crazy. We got a new server, who was so attentive elsewhere that we couldn’t even ask questions or talk to her. She seemed more focused on the lady who had sat down behind us (after we sat). She didn’t even let me finish talking before she ran to the lady behind us and took her drink order. That lady also got her drink order before she even came back to see what I wanted to drink. She then proceeding behind the counter, looking lost and then proceeded to help another lady asking for pastries. Long story short, the place seemed very unorganized and chaotic. It was the beginning to what would have been a horrible experience. So we got up and left. It’s a shame, the menu seemed to have some promising items on it. Maybe another time after they’re open for a bit longer and have their staff more trained we will try it again. Hope the...

We came for a late breakfast on a Saturday “during season.” The food, once we finally got it, was very tasty. Portion sizes are very basic. 👍🏻 - Two waitresses were running around doing everything for the front of the house, including bussing and washing tables, serving food, taking orders, running the cash register, etc. They are stressed and overworked. 🫨 They need a 3rd employee out there. - From the time we sat down, we had to wait nearly a full hour for our food to arrive. - I ordered hot tea. 🫖 I wasn’t given any flavor options, but was (eventually) given a bag of black Lipton tea, basically the cheapest and grossest tea money can buy. I would love for the owner to consider stepping up the tea choices: something like Republic of Tea (served at Panera) or even Tazo. 🤔 We would consider returning here on a weekday NOT during season, in hopes that the service might be a bit quicker. And I’ll bring my own tea bag just in case the owner doesn’t see this...
