We stopped here for brunch during a visit to FSU and I was delighted to see a full English breakfast on the menu. The sausages were the traditional English bangers, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the mushrooms were fantastic. Topped off with a very reasonably priced glass of brut champagne, this was certainly a highlight of our visit. We... More

Honestly, I had a hard time getting past the name, (Kool beans cafe) thinking it was some kind of coffee house or something. There is a reason it was rated #1 on tripadvisor. The food was awesome! I started with the gazpacho, which is a favorite of mine, and it was great. Even my husband, who doesn't like gazpacho, said... More

Came to this place for the first time last week and even though it was super noisy and the service could have been so much better. The food saved the experience. I will be back another time when it's not as busy.

Keeping in mind that Tallahassee isn't exactly a food lover's paradise, this place is one of the best in town. There's a reason why we consistently bring visiting dignitaries here...the food is always very good, and it combines local (e.g. southern) cuisine with other more exotic recipes. It's a great place to show off what one might call "southern gourmet",... More

Kool Beanz is Tallahassee fine-dining at its best. They appear to source ingredients locally. Everything I've had is tasty but a little on the small side. Every time I want to head to Kool Beanz, I am confronted with the long wait dilemma. Unless you have a few hours to kill, I'd call them first to see how long the... More

We went for lunch while on vacation. It was very crowded so we sat outside. We ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese which was ok. The service was so slow that we had to ask about our food. Having a #1 rating in Tallahassee is hard to believe. It just wasn't our kind of restaurant.

My daughter took me here for Mother's Day. It was perfect for me! Tere was a bit of a wait even though we got there when they opened. We sat out front and ordered mimosas so even the wait was fine! (Only about 30 minutes). It's a lively little place and I hadn't been in a few years. They've added... More

Funky, good food, outside seating. Clearly a popular restaurant!. We went with friends and though it was very busy, our wait was not long. Would go again.
