Walked into an Asian atmosphere done very tastefully. The staff is warm and welcoming. The menu was was inclusive of all eating preferences: vegetarian, seafood, beef, chicken, pork etc. We had the "Drunken Shrimp" and loved it. It was lunch and the portion was perfect for the middle of the day. We left satisfied and very happy.

Coffee roasting on site from countries around the world. Fresh artisan sandwiches, salads and flatbread along with espresso drinks, loose leaf teas and fresh baked pastries.
Reviewed By Mary P - Hernando, Florida
Although small, these folks make up for it with excellent offerings in coffees and teas as well as breakfast and lunch choices. The chocolate chip cookies should be called Monster--mouthwatering delicious! Since there is no Starbucks within almost an hour, this should satisfy the specialty coffee or chai tea craving. We have often enjoyed the outside tables, especially on a nice day with our pooch along for the outing.

Wonderful little place. Live music with a harmonica that was not obnoxious at all. Ordered scallops au gratin. It was like a little casserole on a bed of spinach. A little too rich for me, but delicious all the same.
Staff was very friendly.
Chef Michael came to the table personally, also went earlier in the day and purchased extra vegetables to make something for my sister in law and her kids that are vegan.

Small local restaurant that my parents, who live in Ocala, go to. My husband and I stopped at for breakfast on 12/23/11. Worth stopping at.

Breakfast or lunch, doesn't matter ... always available 7am-2pm (closed Monday). Food is tasty, staff friendly, fast service, cash or credit, and ample parking. Know this ... servings are large, so you may be taking home leftovers. Extensive menu choices, so take your time and don't rush. Hope this helps with your first visit.

After 4 hours on the Withlocoochee State Trail we needed something to reward ourselves. The bike shop recommended the Ice Cream DR and he was right. Smooth, creamy Hersheys Ice Cream in a cute little shop sated our sweet tooths. Cones, cups, waffles cones, have it your way. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Yummy!
6. Little Italy Of Inverness Deli

ItalyReviewed By Vincent M - The Villages, Florida
First visit, definitely not the last. Surprised my wife with impromptu lunch. 40 minute ride but well worth it. We found Inverness a quaint and charming town and we found parking near Little Italy! We had researched Trip Advisor reviews and had to check for ourselves.
Patricia greeted us and explained seating and ordering. Went for the Italian panini and the Rosi Special, described as a surprise. Surprise me everyday with that. Cold cuts and cheeses are fresh, sliced thin, if included, roasted peppers, artichokes, other toppings just flavorful, bread is perfect for pressing. You don't need fries or cole slaw as a distraction. Enjoy the panini. Definitely coming back for dinner. BTW, Rosario looks just like on Facebook.
7. Lynns Homemade Ice Cream & Belgian Waffles

Reviewed By jbguy - Irwin, Pennsylvania
Lunns makes the ice cream. Lynns makes the waffles. All from scratch, nothing but good stuff. Yes this includes calories, but if you are going to splurge, this is the place. If you like old fasioned kind of food. Take a step back when it was natual, and good. Price reflects the amount of time and the quality of ingredients used here. Sure you can go to DQ for less, but DQ is trying hard to get flavors like this out of a can,,,,,,, cant be done.
8. Burger Station

Reviewed By Denise S - The Villages, Florida
My husband and I absolutely love, love this little jewel. It was a gas station and beautifully converted into a quaint cafe.
All their food is incredibly....and they have tator tots. So hard to find nowadays! And their fries (including sweet potato) and onion rings are absolutely divine. The hamburgers are cooked to perfection. I also love “The Rachael” which is their veggie burger on a beautiful wheat bun....wonderful.
Don’t forget to try their ice cream and shakes - best of the best. They also have daily specials that are always so creative and good.
The best part about the “station” is their staff. They work so hard to make you feel like family. We love Sherry and Alicia. Their smiles will make your day!

This appears to be a popular spot. When the doors opened at 7am, there was already a number of people waiting to get inside and they seemed to get busy pretty quickly. The triple-berry french toast was very tasty and worth breaking my diet for. There is also a small bakery by the front door to get some pastries on the go.
