Where to eat in Tallahassee
Our destination sponsors have curated a list of cafes and restaurants that you can visit during your time in Tallahassee for TakeOff North America 2025.
Lucky Goat Coffee
When Lucky Goat began roasting coffee in 2010, our intent was to provide top-quality wholesale beans for other cafés. But once people began coming to us for coffee to brew on their own, we knew it was time to expand. A bigger warehouse and welcoming storefront allowed us to not only make great coffee for our customers, but also teach them how to brew it best themselves. Now, with many locations in the Southeast, we can share our passion with more people.
Argonaut Coffee
Argonaut coffee was founded in November of 2019 with two employees. We’ve grown a little bit since then, but our goal remains the same: provide the best coffee shop experience and most exceptional specialty coffee Tallahassee has to offer!
Catalina
Catalina Cafe serves freshly roasted coffee, pastries made in- house, and sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. The coffees, lattes and espressos are created by baristas who compete nationally and just watching them work is worth a visit.
Foxtail Coffee
This stunning shop is located in SOMO Walls. Grab a cup of our craft coffee and stroll through the area's 14 rotating wall canvases or indulge in some retail therapy in this vast commercial space!

Lofty Pursuits
Lofty Pursuits is a Toy Store with a Classic American Soda Fountain and Restaurant in the middle of it. We also make Victorian hard candies in the front of the shop where everyone can watch.

Early’s Kitchen
Fresh & Made from Scratch casual restaurant dishing up Southern fare including popular breakfast options and sides such as grits.
Bradley’s Country Store
This family-owned store, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has operated at the same location since 1927 and is famous for its homemade sausage and country milled grits, both of which are still made on-site.
The Edison
The Edison Restaurant is located in the Old City Electric Building, Tallahassee’s second coal-fired power plant, which was constructed in 1921. The City was growing so quickly that the plant could no longer generate sufficient energy. Subsequently, it was used as government offices and city storage until it was ultimately abandoned for decades. The building fell into disrepair until the 2000’s when the city of Tallahassee, recognizing the value of this uniquely beautiful single-walled construction brick building, invested in stabilizing the structure for future use.
Chuck’s Fish
Chuck's Fish sources seafood from its own wholesale market at Harbor Docks. In addition to Gulf seafood, we offer aged, naturally-raised beef - cut in-house, and an award-winning sushi bar, curated by renowned chef Yoshie Eddings, who has been the sushi chef at Harbor Docks restaurant for 30 years. When you’re looking for a top-notch dining experience with wonderful food, stellar service, and a great atmosphere, look no further than Chuck’s Fish in any one of the towns that we are so proud to be in.
