What People Are Saying
from Google"What a great find for us! Heading to Morehead from a few hours out we wanted to break up the drive for a bit and grab a bite, with our doggo in tow, so we found this spot on Google Maps and it was a great fit! Shawn, the owner, personally welcomed (all three) of us. Our lineup included a rose on tap, a canned porter, and three (very reasonably priced) bites from the all-day menu. We could not be more pleased with our quick visit and look forward to visiting again soon when we are back for a longer session."
"If you want to satisfy your crepe fix look no further! The whole vibe of this place is quant and charming. The staff is very attentive. We had the love potion crepe and the Mediterranean with tofu. Very nice to have vegetarian friendly savory options. We look forward to visiting again."
"From the outside, it looks like any other unassuming cafe. Inside is a spacious place with several nooks of sofaa, perfect for teleworking. I'm always on the lookout for one around here. Tasty smoked salmon pasta and their version of shepherds pie. Will try the crepes next time."
"A Magical Experience: The Perfect Place to Celebrate Love I was looking for the ideal spot to celebrate our anniversary, a place with special meaning that connected with the essence of our marriage, which we call our "firefly love." From the moment we walked through the door, we knew we had found the right place. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy; it feels like a warm embrace inviting you to stay. The owner of the establishment is an outstanding host. He made us feel at home from the very first second, listening to our story and providing excellent service—something we noticed he did with everyone who arrived. In this place, you feel welcomed, respected, and above all, accepted. The venue hits every mark for a spectacular date: impeccable decor, the perfect balance of privacy, and a vibrant atmosphere. But let’s talk about the food: it is a true explosion of flavors! Every dish was delicious and prepared with impressive attention to detail. A special shout-out for the beignets; thank you so much for that thoughtful touch! Without a doubt, this has become the favorite place to go with my wife. Thank you for making our anniversary exceed all expectations. If you are looking for a place where human kindness and culinary excellence come together, this is it. We will be back soon!"
"Three of us were looking for a nice place for Sunday brunch and Firefly Cafe was perfect. The unique atmosphere was welcoming. I appreciated the comfortable chairs which were padded and not just uncomfortable aluminum. The drink special, a lemon drop mimosa, was delicious! I had a savory crepe and the other two had an egg scramble. All three items were vey good. We finished off our meal with beignets which were light and fluffy and delicious. We will definitely be back!"
