8:00 am: A fresh start at Berry Fresh Cafe
Nothing could be as refreshing as a sumptuous breakfast at Berry Fresh Cafe. Early birds are quite common to spot here killing their morning blues by grabbing a bite to the mouth-drooling food served here. Besides taste and flavors, it is also given attention how to make the food wholesome. No matter whether you are vegan or non-vegan, you can easily find something to die for pleasing your taste buds. On every bite to your food, you would end up saying, "It made my day". This is not an idle claim. Two of our friends went to Port Saint Lucie a few months ago, but they left behind a great chunk of their heart. And, they lost it to the belly-buster food served at Berry Fresh Cafe. They also came across a few locals who pointed towards Berry Fresh Cafe when they were asked to suggest the best name in the town.
