As I
mentioned in a previous posting, during our visit to Cedar Key shortly after
Labor Day, many of the businesses and restaurants appeared to have closed down
for a break following the busy summer season.
Finding a place for breakfast was challenging in this tiny town…
We
spotted one option on Second Street in the old part of ‘downtown’ Cedar
Key. We like baked goodies so we decided
to give it a try…
The “Salty
Needle Quilt Shop” and “Bake My Day Bakery and Deli" share the same building. We noted that there were a variety of small
mom and pop size businesses trying to survive and provide a living income for
their owners in Cedar Key.
These
blackboards served at the menu for “Bake My Day”. They offer a decent selection of basic
breakfast offerings, a nice selection of sandwiches and a delectable listing of
homemade baked goods.
We have
a weakness for baked goods and as such, we rarely have anything other than
English muffins on hand at home. But
this was vacation…so I had a piece of the Bread Pudding with a bit of whipped
cream. It was very nice! On a subsequent visit, Laurie enjoyed one of
these little parcels of goodness as well…
But on
our first visit, she went for a piece of the Strawberry Cream Cheese
Danish. It was very good indeed!
The two
young women who own and operate Bake My Day were engaging and eager to
please. They appear to do a decent
business with the locals…which they said keeps them going when the tourist
business is light.
Bake My
Day Bakery and Deli is located at 434 Second Street in Cedar Key Florida. Phone: 352-543-5217. They are on Facebook with lots of photos at https://www.facebook.com/CKbakemyday.
On
another morning, we sought out Kona Joe’s Island Café… This little restaurant shares
a building with Cedar Key Quality Canvas Products.
The breakfast
menu was a very small (left side of collage) and I was a little disappointed. It didn’t deter Laurie as she wasn’t hungry
anyway and she just had a cup of coffee.
The luncheon menu was quite a bit more extensive…
The interior
of Kona Joe’s was cute and quirky…much like the other businesses on the island
as well as like Cedar Key itself.
Outside dining is available with a nice view of the bay.
I
ordered a bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. It was fairly tasty although the bacon wasn’t
very distinctive. Service was fine and
Kona Joe’s was well maintained.
I’m
sure that the breakfast menu is a bit larger when the customer count warrants
it. Kona Joe’s Island Café is located at
4051 D Street (FL Hwy. 24 and 6th Street) in Cedar Key. Phone: 352-543-9898. This Café is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Kona-Joes-Island-Cafe-101610555951/.
