Stuart restaurant makes Yelp Top 100 Florida Restaurants 2023 list

A Stuart restaurant made the Yelp Top 100 Florida Restaurants 2023 list.

Berry Fresh Cafe, at 1429 S.E. Federal Highway, ranked No. 29 on the list, which is based on the Yelp community's crowdsourced ratings and reviews.

The father-son chain opened in Port St. Lucie in 2009, then added two locations in Jupiter and Stuart. Founder Tim Timoteo and son Mitch created a “real food” cafe with chef-driven, adventurous, “made-from-scratch” dishes using the freshest ingredients, mostly from local farms. The menu includes signature jazzed-up comfort foods, as well as healthy vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free selections.

Bomboloni Bakery-Cafè, at 3980 N.W. Federal Highway in Jensen Beach, came in at No. 51 on the list, just one away from breaking into the Top 50. It's not Bomboloni's first time on the list. In 2022, it was ranked No. 20.

Giovanni Tenger and Henriette Grosz-Tenger don’t make doughnuts with holes. Instead, they fill the pastries at Bomboloni Bakery with homemade creams, such as cannoli, blueberry and Nutella. They’re originally from Europe, where their "bomboloni" — the Italian word for doughnuts — look a little different at the bakery they opened in Jensen Beach in 2019.

Here's Yelp's methodology: This is a list of the top places to eat in Florida for 2023. Yelp identified businesses in the restaurants category, then ranked those spots using a number of factors, including the total volume and ratings of reviews between Jan. 1, 2022, and Jan. 1, 2023.
