Food was absolutely delicious! I tried the smoked salmon Benedict, and it was incredible—the potatoes were somehow even better. While I was in town, I ordered banana pancakes at three different places, and these were by far my favorite. The coffee was so good that I came back the next day for another one. I highly recommend the toffee nut iced latte with caramel drizzle—absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was exceptional, and the staff during both of my visits were so sweet, welcoming, and attentive. I can't recommend this place enough and will definitely return the next time I'm in town.

Destin Cafe was an okay experience overall. We visited on a Saturday afternoon during a non-busy time, so service was smooth and there was plenty of seating available. Parking was also easy, which is always a plus in Destin. The food and drinks were decent, but the pricing felt a little high for what was offered. It may be a case of beach-town pricing and popularity driving expectations up. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out enough to make the trip feel especially worthwhile. For a first visit, I’m glad we gave it a try, but I’m not sure the 1hr drive would justify a return visit for us. There are a lot of options in the area, and this one landed somewhere in the middle of the pack. Overall, a perfectly fine experience, just not one that left a lasting impression.

First time at this place! I was told that is a must visit location when you visit destin, so we gave it a try. We ordered the southern and salmon breakfast 😋 it was delicious! Prices are good but if you are on a budget they also have side options and you could build your breakfast plate for a lower price. Definitely coming back!

Cafe Dustin had delicious food and great service at the counter. The only thing that caught us off guard is that it’s more of a bistro -style step up where you can order at the counter rather than have table service. I also was not a fan of the paper plates, the paper bowls, and plastic silverware, if they had used actual dishes and silverware, it would’ve added a little more class and given the restaurant, a little more upscale feel That said, the food was excellent and overall, we had a great experience.

If you’re looking for a café that truly delivers on flavor and freshness, this spot is a must-visit! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The salmon toast was amazing — perfectly balanced with fresh toppings and rich, savory flavor in every bite. It was light yet satisfying and beautifully presented. The French toast was just as impressive, topped with fresh whipped cream that melted perfectly into each warm slice. It had that ideal texture — soft on the inside with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. And the standout? The banana fosters waffles. They were sweet — but not overly sweet — with just the right amount of flavor. The caramelized banana topping paired perfectly with the fluffy waffles, making every bite indulgent without being heavy. Overall, a fantastic café experience with delicious food done right. I’ll definitely be back! The cappuccino art was a nice surprise 😍
