Deco Cafe

Mother’s Day. Made reservations w/​out any issues whatsoever. Popped in and we were quickly greeted and seated! Mimosas were very nice and the food was great! Our server was efficient and friendly. Great little brunch place downtown, stop in!

This is the cutest little café in the downtown area. You can choose to sit indoor or outdoor depending on the Florida weather. Their food was exceptional. I tried two different sandwiches (one mine and one my mom’s) and both were equally as delicious. I was very impressed. Each sand which comes with a small side. Added perk that I liked was they gave you a drink to go of whatever you were drinking which was perfect since we were going to walk around town a bit and explore. All in all a great little find.

My wife & I love the Deco Café… especially after riding the Withlacoochee bike trail. We tried others on the square but keep coming back to the Deco. Today I had the grilled pastrami Reuben with pesto pasta on the side while my wife enjoyed the Deco Cristo with a side of fruit… But all their stuff is good. Let the SAMs take care of you and you can’t go wrong. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Sat outside on the quiet patio. Staff was very friendly and the owner came and checked on us. My wife and I are both gluten free which they catered to by putting our sandwiches on the flatbread then pressing on the griddle. Super fresh food! The best part was a gluten free chocolate cake that had a layer of pudding in it. Best gf dessert we have ever had. Our server even wrote down a few fun local attractions when we asked about the area. Go visit!

I discovered this little gem several years ago when my granddaughter was a young teen with aspirations to old fashioned gentility. We both fell in love with the refined, yet modern atmosphere. The desserts were our favorites and we spent many pleasurable times noshing on wonderful sweets. More recently I had a pleasurable breakfast at Deco café. The calm atmosphere and pleasant music gave me the respite I needed after some difficult days. I didn’t want to leave. If I have one complaint, it would be that the music provided on weekends can be loud and make conversations difficult when moved inside. On one occasion I even offered to pay the performer’s wages for one hour so my friend and I could hear each other. Normally the music is outside, unless prohibited by weather. The food is excellent. Overall, a nice place with pleasant atmosphere, good food and a central downtown location.

Good coffee, lattes are wonderful! Try lunch, always something interesting and delicious
on the Specials menu. Weekend dinners are raved about within the community. The owner is
very, very much on top of things and it shows in the menu, quality and service. Give Deco a try
and experience one of Citrus’ best!

Seating inside and outside, I would not say either is ample but both together are more than adequate. Than can handle a large group and they are most accommodating. Outside seating is mostly shaded and with the exception of a few street side tables, has a cozy feel. Nice quiet nook. Inside and outside is clean and tidy.
Food and drink. The food is solid. Enough of a variety to satisfy a large party, expect no errors in your order and the details to be spot on. I paid attention to others’ comments, they were all positive. I liked the Tuna on Rye and also tried a few of the crepes. Can’t go wrong. As this is a café which know coffee, you won’t be dissapointed with that or tea.
Overall food is excellent, wait staff works to make sure you have what you need, but expect to not rush in and out. This is also a nice break from that bike ride on the Withalacoochie trail. Bike racks are on site.

We’ve been wanting to try this place for awhile now, since it’s not too far and the reviews were good. Today we went for lunch… we won’t be back.
The service was fast and friendly. I had the Reuben panini which was good but light on the meat, my husband had the Cobb salad (wanted grilled chicken, but they were out of that) it was VERY small for the price, a discount for no chicken would have been nice, they did give him a little extra avocado apparently, also the balsamic vinaigrette was nothing special. Lastly, it was all served on plastic with plastic utensils, don’t care for that. I hope they recycle it at least.

Best little coffee shop around. Great food. Fun atmosphere. Absolutely love it here :)

Lovely little café right on the courthouse square in the heart of this little downtown close to the bike trail.
Lovely selections of sandwiches (we came for lunch) and wonderfully attentive and friendly staff. I’d love to check it out for breakfast.
Had the NY Strip panini all the way which was tasty! Wife had the gluten free option (they have GF bread for all their sandwiches).
Also: cool little Art Deco building with flair according to style.

I had a job in Inverness and stopped in here based on high ratings by locals and they are right!
Staff is super friendly and attentative and you MUST have the soups!!! Oh my goodness, I had the stuffed pepper soup and it was AMAZING! I have never heard of stuffed pepper soup before! I wished this place was closer to Tampa!!!

Great food, service and friendly atmosphere. I don’t stop often but when I do, I always enjoy the food and ambiance.
I had the chicken salad, a favorite. The German potato salad was not to my taste, a warm salad doesn’t work for me. Obviously supposed to be that way. It was fine, I didn’t need the extra calories.

I just ate the best Indian fish at the Deco Café along with fresh local veggies! This place is a local gem! And I think the chef is cute as well as highly talented and creative.

My husband and I stopped in for dinner. My encrusted flounder was wonderful and his Mahi dish was over the top. Great presentation on both meals. We went back the following morning to surprise one of my school grads I had not seen in many years. Thank you Sherri Spaulding (owner) for setting the perfect venue to pull it off! Great service above and beyond!

We are so happy we stopped in for dinner! We loved the simple but nice valentines touches they had.
My husband loved his Prime Rib– perfectly cooked medium-​rare, as he ordered. His roasted sweet potatoes were delicious! As was my grand marnier mahi served with broccoli slaw. We enjoyed these entrees after eating flavorful fried green tomatoes. They were super savory because they had a little bit of everything– goat cheese, a smokey aioli sort of sauce, bacon, and chives. I will say that the grits are lacking, just nothing to write home about, so I’d advise against them. We didn’t order dessert because we were so full.
To give you an idea of portions– My husband is a large athletic build so he finished my entrée, since we’re tourists and didn’t have a place to keep them.
Fast service since it’s such a small restaurant. Pleasant staff. They even had our favorite sweet red wine, Sanguine de Juda, which we eagerly bought to take back to the B&B we were staying at.

This place is my oasis in Inverness. The owner is super cool and the food is delicious and inventive.

Great little spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. Standard breakfast sandwiches, wraps and paninis. I got a wrap with scrambled eggs, turkey, tomato, avocado and cheddar. It came with a side of fresh fruit. The perfect sized portion. Everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered with no complaints and no one left hungry. We tried their white chocolate mocha which was tasty and not too sweet. I would love to try it iced next time! They also have pancakes and French toast among other standard breakfast items. The staff was friendly and the prices were reasonable.

We’ve been meaning to check this place out for some time now. By chance we were in the area at lunch and gave it a shot today. We ordered the large Deco chicken salad and a Cristo sandwich. It was the lunch rush, and the place was packed but our order arrived quickly. I was a little surprised at the «Large» salad. Presentation was nice and it looked great. But in my opinion it was small and the chicken was dry, just short of being jerky. In the end, I’d never order it again. The sandwich was great, perfect in every way. Fresh and well portioned.
So if your hungry don’t order the salad, you’ll leave hungry.

I used to work there and really enjoyed my time there! I wish I had known more about Deco Café prior to working there– I probably would have been there more often. The new owners, the Spauldings, are amazing people and they are doing a phenomenal job with the café!

I’ve wanted to write a review for a long time about this place. Ever since this place opened several years ago, I always find myself back there when I come back home from school. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating, and the establishment itself is simply wonderful — small little café/​gift shop in a great location. You also have the option of dining outside — should Florida weather permit you to! I always get the chicken caesar salad, a little more coin than the average salad would be, but honestly worth it. I also love how you can call ahead if you’re in a rush and they’ll have it ready by the time you get there. More recently, they began a new weekly night event, where you can come in, relax and have a glass of wine while socializing with friends. I’m not sure if they still do this, but check it out! I love it here, I’m excited to go back :)
