A Matter of Taste Cafe & Tea

A hidden gem! The best quiche Lorraine I have ever had, and they're fresh fruit was actually fresh 😃 . A very cozy place, friendly staff and great food. Will Definitely return the next time I pass through this area!

Was spending time in Dade City visiting my dad at the hospital last week and was unfamiliar with the area. We stumbled across this place and had a fantastic meal! The servers saw that we were exhausted and a little upset, they were so very kind and our meals were perfect. Had chicken salad in a tomato that was cut to look like a flower. Made us smile.

Dade City favorite. We ordered Ybor City chicken and appetizer sampler. Ybor City chicken came with yellow rice, plantain, and black beans along with toasted Cuban bread. The sampler had fried green tomatoes, onion rings, cheesy fries, fried mushrooms, and buffalo wings. Love their Fresh fried green tomatoes!
Very friendly staff and services. Very cool 1950 style interior design. Everyday they offer lunch special (today it was two tacos, 1 side, and a drink for 9.99 Best deal in town)

Great family atmosphere. Had lunch with some members of 1961 Hillsborough High School graduates.

It is a "Matter of Taste" when it comes to this place's sitting arrangement which to me is odd. But, I just embraced its awkwardness when my order came. A most exquisite spinach omelette named after Popeye whereby every morsel is simply divine to your palette. And ambiance made more special given the many pictures of Marilyn Monroe on their walls. Somehow reminiscent of the diva's restaurant in Tower Hotel in Niagara Falls. Great place and service...not too sure about sitting arrangement...

Great tasting food...nice place for quick easy fast dining..visited from SLC Utah I will come back...

If i could give this place 10 stars i would. Its very clean and Quiet the waitress is very friendly. The fried green tomatoes were to die for. They are huge and hot when they arrive... I was so tired of burgers so i ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. It was not dry or over cooked but perfect..just the green tomatoes filled me up but the chicken sandwich looked so good i saved the rest of green tomatoes to bring home.. The green tomatoes were cut so thick they did not hold any grease. Just fried to perfection. If you are in dadecity you must visit this place

I was there on Saturday with two good friends and we all loved this place! We shared the Fried Green Tomatoes, cause that's what brought us in! Two of us had the smaller size Greek Salads, that were huge and delicious. My other friend had the Shrimp Burrito, and said it was awesome. Yes, we are already making plans to go back!

Very good food. Love their Fried Green Tomatoes and their salads, especially their salad with grilled chicken. They marinate the chicken and it tastes so good. Also love their plantains. Nice people and nice atmosphere.

My husband said it was the best gyro he ever had. I enjoyed the chicken salad too. The place is quaint and the staff and owner are great. We enjoyed our meal.

Very welcoming staff. Food was great! Felt like stepping back in time with the music selection. Loved it. The lady who took care of my order took the time to give me the history of the establishment. Will definitely come back and encourage you to come check it out.

The lunch items are wonderful service is pretty good. Be advised gratuities are split regardless of which server you intended them for.

Here recently 4/2021

Cook not wearing gloves and handling raw chicken and then touching other things.

We were here on my birthday. We ate a delicious lunch and then, for my birthday cake, we ordered the bread pudding... I don't care how full you are... Get the bread pudding!!! Big enough to share !!! I am a bread pudding lover and have eaten it everywhere. Hands down, this was the best ever!!!!!

I’ve been eating here for years now, and try to visit every time I’m in town and I’ve never been disappointed. The food & people are excellent. I’m partial to their pressed Cuban sandwich, but I’ve never regretted trying something new on their menu.

I had the stir fry skillet with chicken. This was so good. This is an amazing place to eat lunch. It can get very busy in there, but there's a reason for that.....it is so yummy!

Really enjoyed the west indies bread pudding. Got a bowl of Cajun gumbo, super good price for a large amount of tasty food.

Great environment, great service, delicious food, good price for the outstanding quality of the food. Definitely a come back place!
