Shelly's Cafe - Tampa

First time having the mini beignets and they were so good! The home fries and gouda grilled cheese were my favorites and the service was quick and nice.

The food was delicious, the portions were big. The atmosphere is great. However, the charge of an additional 18% for a group of 5 people was quite unexpected (2 adults and 3 kids). I wish we knew it on advance. With tips the simple breakfast turned to cost almost as a dinner in other place

We’ve been here a few times because the food is delicious! Their French toast is so good and the butter and whipped cream they serve tastes freshly made. The service is also great, we’ve always had good experiences. I’m giving three stars because of the portion sizes/value. Portions have been getting smaller over time, while prices are increasing. We ate there today and actually left still a bit hungry which is unacceptable when breakfast costs $50. The French toast combo is $15 ! and only has two slices with a couple small sides. If you want a kids meal that includes protein it’s $9 and both kids were looking for more food. In the past we’ve always had leftovers but the last two times we’ve all left peckish. It’s a shame because we LOVE this place but at these prices there needs to be a sufficient amount of food. I hope y’all can make the portions larger again!

My husband and I popped in without looking at the menu or reviews first and we are so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious. The fries were hot and crispy, the home fries were well seasoned, and the crispy chicken sandwich was honestly SO good. Service was excellent too, very friendly people! Definitely give this place a try :

I went today for breakfast after my DR appointment I was starving I ordered a vegetable omelette and the home fried potatoes and rye toast. The omelette was so flat like fried eggs and hardly anything in the omelette and the potatoes were really dark brown and very salty I wasn’t even asked if I wanted water or more hot water for my tea. I wanted Grits but they don’t have any or salsa for the omelette first and last for me not for almost $20 for mediocre food!! The restaurant is clean though.
