6 Tallahassee Restaurants We Love

Take your own culinary tour of Florida’s capital with these six not-to-be-missed nosh pits.

Lucky Goat Coffee

If you’ve got a fresh cup of Joe in your hand while in Tallahassee, chances are those beans came from Lucky Goat Coffee Co. They’ve mastered the art of cold-brew coffee, and you can even take it to-go in a refillable growler. Stop by for a quick cup, but don’t miss the viewing window, where you can watch the beans being roasted and freshly ground.

668 Capital Cir NE
Tallahassee, FL 32301

Bradley Country Store

This quaint country store will make you feel like you’ve gone back in time. A scenic drive down a canopied road will bring you to Bradley’s Country Store, where famous smoked sausages and stoneground grits are shipped nationally. With actual farm-to-table products, the sausages are preservative- and gluten-free, made with the same recipe since 1910.

Lofty Pursuits is a combination ice cream parlor, candy shop, soda fountain and classic toy store all rolled into one. They make their own Victorian candy on site, with most equipment dating prior to 1900. Enjoy flights of ice cream and get a soda from the classic Coke bottle machine. The extensive menu boasts 52 unique sundaes (since there are 52 Sundays each year — get it?).
