Cozy brunch cafe near the beach known for standout shakshuka, friendly owner-led service, and fair prices, but expect long waits at peak hours.
FOODEE delivers exceptional food quality—the shakshuka and house baguette are standouts—backed by warm, owner-led hospitality that creates genuine connection. However, inconsistent execution during peak hours, combined with significant wait times and cramped seating, prevents this from reaching grade A territory. For a casual beachside brunch destination with reliable quality and fair pricing, it's a solid neighborhood favorite worth seeking out.
Tucked a short stroll from the beach, FOODEE feels warm and cozy rather than flashy. Guests rave about the welcoming owners and a brunch menu that punches above its weight. One diner noted, "They hustled to keep everyone happy," capturing the friendly, hands-on service. Do plan around crowds: when the street gets busy, waits can stretch, and the scene turns lively and noisy. In the kitchen, the approach is elevated comfort with Mediterranean touches. The star is shakshuka—silky eggs in a boldly spiced tomato-pepper sauce with za'atar-dusted toast—followed by the honey-mustard chicken FOODEE baguette and generous avocado toast. Think produce-driven, handmade plates rather than culinary theatrics; quality bread, ripe tomato, and careful seasoning do most of the talking. Bringing kids is easy here. The menu has simple, familiar options like croissants with eggs and bacon, mixed ham-and-cheese sandwiches, and omelettes. Shakshuka and avocado toast suit more adventurous eaters, while classic cheese baguettes and toast keep picky palates comfortable. No dedicated kids menu spotted, but portions are generous and shareable.
