Blue Palmetto Cafe - Lake Wales

Never disappointed ! New decor is wonderful!Food: 5/5

After touring the gardens we opted to get lunch. We had the blueberry chicken salad. Generous scoop of delicious chicken salad on a bed of fresh greens. Garnished with plump sweet blueberries and sweet strawberries. Served with raspberry vinaigrette. Prices were good and service was great. Highly recommend

Lovely little Cafe. Friendly and helpful employees. Had the ice cream and lemonade. Very refreshing.Food: 5/5

Visited the cafe around 12:30, so naturally, it was very crowded, with patrons waiting in a line that extended outside the cafe. I was surprised to find only one staff member taking orders, which explained the long line. In about 10 minutes, another staff member arrived and began to take orders, which sped things up a bit and allowed patrons to wait inside rather than outside in the heat. I will say the staff was very pleasant despite the crush of patrons.I ordered the Chicken Blueberry Salad. It came with mixed lettuces, a small scoop of chicken salad, feta cheese, blueberries and pecans. More specifically, 4 pecans, 6 blueberries, the smallest cubes of feta cheese I have ever seen (and no feta flavor, either! and the most flavorless chicken salad I have ever eaten. Totally not worth the price. Next time, I will pack a picnic lunch and enjoy it on a bench in the shade in the gardens, as I observed other visitors doing.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food that I had here. The Avocado BLT was excellent. You can bring your dog here too!
