White Lion Cafe

If you have a sweet tooth, RUN don't walk to White Lion Cafe. I tried the banana cake and honestly, it may be the best banana cake I’ve ever had and possibly ever will have. Every part was homemade and balanced. The cake itself was incredibly moist and rich with real banana without being heavy. Between the layers was a soft banana custard that was light, delicate, and perfectly sweet without being overpowering. The whipped banana frosting was a star standout.. not a sugary buttercream, but airy and melt in your mouth. The chocolate drizzle tied everything together beautifully. This is absolutely where I’ll be getting cakes from moving forward, whether for a special occasion or just a personal slice of dessert. Truly exceptional!!

Food was salty. Fried broccoli was delicious with their homemade ranch dressing. The fried chicken was separated from the breading as soon as it was cut. Employees were very nice and had great hospitality. I would love to go back to try their brunch on Sundays.

This time, instead of leaving it to chance, I asked Google for restaurants near me. The White Lion came up and I was intrigued because it's out of the way. You'd never come upon it just driving around. It's a cool looking place with an old country vibe and they've got it decorated for Halloween which is really fun! I couldn't help but order a sweet tea and meatloaf with mixed veggies and mashed potatoes. The tea is brewed fresh every day, the mugs are HUGE, and the tea is delicious. Not too sweet, just how I like it. The meatloaf is also a large portion. It comes covered in mushrooms and brown gravy with a little more on the side for your mashed potatoes. It tastes very good, especially when you have it with gravy and mushrooms together on the fork. The mixed veggies are really good

I haven't been in at least 15 years. I went the other day with my parents. We each ordered something off the daily specials white board. My snapper wrap was a bit fishy tasting which is usually an indicator that the snapper isn't fresh. I've grown up in south Florida & the keys all my life & I have had fresh fish all my life. The French dip was good & the shrimp scampi was good. The staff was very nice & attentive. We ordered 2 of the desserts & they were delicious. All in all it was a good meal but was very expensive. Three of us having the daily specials & 2 desserts was almost $90. Not sure if I will be back, maybe try again in another 15 years.

You gotta be careful when a RestaurantGM and an ExecutiveChef go out together for SundayBrunch. AKA- There’s a slight possibility that we may be a little…. critique-y. ;- ) But let me tell you what we discovered on this day…. The White Lion Cafe, Homestead’s Official HiddenGem! 10outof10 in every F&B-way imaginable. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better… there’s a whole wall of HotWheels in the men’s room!!!, for the little boy in all of us. Almost forgot, shout-out to our server Tiffany. Your pleasant personality was the perfect pairing for our meal. :- ) See y’all again soon! (I made a cute little video on my FB page but couldn’t upload here on google) support local.
