I absolutely adore local businesses like the Flamingo Cafe in Palm Beach Gardens. This long-time favorite in the PGA Plaza cares about and is invested in the well-being of our community and its economic future.
I appreciate that the Flamingo Cafe has long-term staff and regular customers who live here year around as well as seasonal residents.
Some of my family members, have a local timeshare and look forward to starting each day of their vacation with a meet-up for breakfast at the Flamingo Cafe before each heads off to their respective leisure pursuits.
Here you will find easy parking and a bright, clean restaurant with tables and booths. The tables are especially good for solo diners and those with mobility challenges.
The staff at the Flamingo easily helps those who may use a wheelchair or walker - like my 95-year old dad, who enjoyed breakfasting there.
They quickly serve up hot breakfasts with fresh eggs, good coffee, delicious bacon, tasty sausage gravy, fluffy biscuits, meltingly good French toast and more.
I enjoy the Flamingo Cafe’s old-fashioned oatmeal with brown sugar and a side of fresh fruit. I also like being able to order tomato slices instead of grits or potatoes when I order eggs - although I do like the potatoes, especially with grilled onions.
There are daily specials - this week, my breakfast companion’s ham, tomato, avocado and Swiss cheese omelette looked especially good. And it tasted great!
The lunch menu includes traditional favorites like BLTs, egg salad sandwiches, club sandwiches, hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches.
There are hot meals like roast beef or turkey platters, as well as French dips or grilled steak sandwiches.
The Flamingo Cafe’s salads are fresh and generous. Your choices include a traditional chef’s salad, grilled chicken Cobb salad, and an egg, tuna and chicken salad plate.
In addition to the delicious meals and friendly service the Flamingo Cafe provides, I feel good about supporting a local businesses. I also believe that businesses like this are good for our environment because of their small carbon footprint when compared to larger companies.
Check them out! They are near Trader Joe’s - just a little to the west in the same plaza. You’ll know you’re there when the sound of oldies music...
Read moreAbsolutely great experience! I actually ended up here on accident lol. I was sat down at a table with my toddler and infant, as we looked through the menu I had realized I was at the wrong restaurant. I originally wanted to go to CR Chicks. The waitress was super nice and laughing with me about how I went into the wrong restaurant. I walked over to CR Chicks and my son insisted that we went back here so I said why not. It was probably a sign for us to try something new and have a new experience. We went right back here and the lady was super polite and helpful with the menu. Very friendly with my son. Her name was name was Nicolette I believe but for short goes by Nicki. I’ve had the worst week so far but stumbling across this restaurant just turned my whole day around. The food was great. And to top it off, Nicki made the experience just that much better with her great friendly service and personality! Would definitely recommend to family...
Read moreCockroaches! Twice we went and the place was smelling like a strong chemical and when asked they said it was the neighbors cleaning products . Next time, it was not smelling so we sat down to eat but at the middle of breakfast we got cockroaches climbing on the walls right by the booth where we were eating. Of course we almost throw up and jumped out to pay and leave . When complained to the manager he just laughed and said “oops! “. It looks like they don’t care that they have a colony of cockroaches in that place and that they spray fungicides often which produces that toxic smell in the environment. Unbelievable they operate this way! Unacceptable! And not even an apology ! I do not even want to imagine how the kitchen cleanliness is like. Reporting them to the state health department and we will never go back...
