A vegan-focused restaurant in Central Florida offers a decent selection of breakfast options, with highlights like vegan sausage and tofu scramble. The service is friendly and the portions are generous. While some dishes are a bit greasy, others like the pancakes and omelet are delicious. The ambiance is great, with taxidermy birds on the walls adding a quirky touch. Despite some minor issues like a lack of vegan options and the need for real maple syrup, overall, this eatery is worth a visit for a satisfying breakfast experience. Staff members are accommodating and knowledgeable about the vegan offerings.

I love the vegan pancakes. be prepared to pay the vegan tax on all items. extra 1$ for pancakes. extra 1.50$ for vegan speck and extra for the tofu instead of side eggs. very busy place, so ready for a wait. nice staff.

To the breakfast. very vegan friendly. server gave several suggestions to the breakfast. I ordered the vegan tofu eggs and added the “eggs” on the recommendation of the server, spinat and paprika. it's too ending that you're smiling! I also ordered the vegan waffel and they had real maple syrup! I was very happy with my breakfast. very tasty.

Backwater in Melbourne, FL, absolutely knocked it out of the park! My wife and I had a blast with their make-your-own pancake experience. I went for the lemon poppyseed with fresh blueberries—bright, zesty, and bursting with flavor. My wife’s funfetti pancakes, piled with sprinkles, marshmallows, and chocolate chips, were a playful masterpiece. The thick-cut bacon was crispy perfection, and we couldn’t get enough of the gator bites, fried green tomatoes, and biscuits with gravy—each dish was a Southern delight done right. The map showing where their fresh, local ingredients come from added such a cool vibe to the meal. And of course, we had to make a Mickey mouse-shaped pancake—because what’s a Florida breakfast without one? Everything was top-notch, from the food to the fun atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back for more! Highly recommend! Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Make Your Own Pancakes

I loved coming here when I visited my family, food and drinks were always amazing. I 'm really disappointed in the waitress at the Downtown Melbourne Backwater location that reported to the police suspicious activity between my mom and my sister, who is working on her mental health and actively seeking treatment. I understand that not many people are able to ask questions while the situation they 're experiencing is going on. I understand that the behavior the waitress had witness of my sister was not normal, but my sister and family were already well aware of this. I think that calling the police, gaining my family 's name from the receipt, was a bit of an over step. This decision caused additional stress on my sister, my parents and I, who are just trying to be there for my sister making sure she eats and is taken care of overall. Please, if you see something, ask questions in the moment or if you 're uncomfortable asking, perhaps talk to a coworker. Not everyone responses the same to a family member in distress. I cannot continue supporting Backwater after this incident but, for everyone else I recommend the pulled pork eggs benedict and a lemonade.
