Crystal Beach Coffee Co - Destin

A friendly employee assisted me with menu suggestions, and I wish I had taken her advice. I discovered that I'm not a fan of cold eggs and bacon served on a quinoa and arugula salad. However, the location along the walkway on Highway 98 offers a relaxing atmosphere under the warm sun on a pleasant morning. I plan to return for breakfast to try something different, though I will skip the quinoa salad with cold eggs and bacon. On a cheerful note, while enjoying my late breakfast/brunch, a butterfly landed on the flowers between my table and the sidewalk. Additionally, there's a charming little Christmas tree adorned with lights at the corner of the street.

I wish the scare surrounding COVID hadn’t happened because we loved dining at the bar for sushi! TJ was always incredibly attentive and friendly, just like all the other chefs there. The owner, who is also the mother, is the sweetest lady and a meticulous sushi chef. However, I do have to mention one drawback: the house manager. It would be great if he could recognize that his lack of warmth, nervous demeanor, and casual attire (t-shirt and jeans) really detracts from the experience for patrons who often visit this gem. It hardly feels like he’s part of the team when he looks so unprofessional.

Absolutely a 5-star experience! The only complaint is that there weren't enough scallops in the seared scallops and shrimp entree. The sushi was outstanding—top-notch quality. The highlight of our meal was a delightful surprise: the vanilla bread pudding was to die for! I could have easily ordered a second serving if I hadn’t been so full. Great service as well! A big thank you to our wonderful waitress, Astrid!

Excellent food and location! Go to Camilles Cafe for a happy hour and at 5PM go to the stairs for a wonderful dinner. I would recommend trying the sushi!

Good snacks with a great view. The coffee was good, the egg tacos were great but a little small. The service was ok. Typical beach place. Great casual spot for some beach snacks
