Tinder Hearth - Brooksville

What an experience it is to visit this bakery/restaurant! I felt like I was walking into my grandma’s living room in the fall. The vintage couches, the exposed wooden beams, and the cast iron wood-stove in the middle of the eating area all made for a very comfortable and enjoyable environment. Especially with the cloudy, rainy weather we felt very cozy. They have ample outdoor seating for sunny days and they have a public restroom as well. The flavors in their egg sandwich were unique and delicious. The ham and cheese croissant was perfectly flaky and had a generously salty flavor. The lattes we got had adorable latte art and gave us the caffeine fix that we needed. Tinder Hearth has mastered the skill essential to every bakery: they KNOW how to make some delicious bread! Also, we are not from this area and didn’t realize how low on gas we were or how far we were from a gas station. Lucky for us, Tim was able to help us out and give us enough gas to make it to our next stop. The individuals that run this bakery feel like very honest, salt-of-the-earth people and it always feels good to meet people like that. Thanks for a good time Tinder Hearth!

Don’t come here if you think all restaurants should be run like a Wendy’s. Incredibly hardworking establishment, putting more care into pizza (and bread) making than most. Truly excellent pizza, absolutely perfect crust and delicious toppings. The most beautiful outdoor and indoor dining areas and very kind service. I challenge you to find a better pizza anywhere on the east coast. I know I’ve tried. Buy their bread immediately if you see it in local shops. It’s killer.

I live in the area and this still felt like driving to the middle of nowhere. But the yard and barn are adorable and the pizza is really good. Oyr son loved playing on the sandbox while we ate delicious pizza.

Very warm welcome by staff! Great space! Fabulous breads, scones, and other pastries. The cappuccino was very disappointing liquid only, minimal foam. If Tinder Hearth masters the cappuccino I would rate 5 stars. I will definitely go back. I just will not get a cappuccino.

Tinder Hearth has the best bread and pastries anywhere, and everyone is so friendly. Definitely worth the trip
