My biggest complaint about breakfast places is that they charge you about $2.60 for a cup of coffee, whether you drink 1 cup or 5 cups. And, they will advertise a low price for a "complete" breakfast, but it never includes coffee. That is not a complete breakfast.

50 cents for coffee (self serve, no limit) at Fruitland Park Cafe. Good food too.

Cane Garden is a really good restaurant- breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Yes, it's was even itemized on the receipt. I did not notice it until I got home. Therefore, did not challenge it with server. Not going back....principle!

A ridiculous response , ask the manager why the charge ,just guessing the bacon is precooked in the oven and extra crispy causes the cooks to give it extra time and treatment which screws up the flow in the kitchen the surcharge was to discourage goofy crap like that. A note in the menu should be advising of the charge.

If that is how he feels he can stop going. The rest of us will still continue to go there. I would certainly not let a 60 cent charge stop me.

If whatever you got for breakfast did say what came with it, like bacon it's extra. Not disagreeing with you but if didn't say bacon, you're charge. I've always said & I always get someone mad when I do say this but I always said when you moved to TV they always tell you the good things about TV. You learn what you think are the cons are after you've lived here a while & not everybody here agrees with what everybody thinks. If you came from New York city area, you probably think you've died & woke up in heaven. But where I came from in Ohio we had places where you could get 2 eggs, choice of meat, choice of potatoes, toast & coffee for $4.99, seriously & it's still that mush when I was there 1 month ago. TV is a great place to live but they're are cheaper places to eat & shop in the area. Sorry, you had to pay $.60 for a piece of bacon.

So TV is like everywhere else in that respect. :)

I love Cane Garden, best food in TV...never had a bad meal in 6 or 7 years

There is a lot of profit in coffee. If you asked me if anyone would pay $2 for a bottle of water and $5 for a fancy coffee I would have guessed just the big spenders. Mr. Donut should have focused on the coffee like Starbucks instead of the donuts.

Was at Cane Garden today for breakfast and didn’t see anything on the menu about a charge for extra crispy bacon. Breakfast was great as always.

Menu does not mention the extra charge

Is the coffee any good? Is there a light or dark roast choice?

Does Mayo charge for crisp bacon? :)

NO! Hold the Mayo!

It's time to trim the fat on this bacon controversy, they're only trying to make ends meat and not really doing anyone any ham!!

Try having 2 misdiagnosis here and then going to Mayo for a 2nd opinion and finding not only were there mis diagnosis which were outrages but they missed 2 life threatening Cancers. One stage 3 with some spreading and which has now shown no continuation within the last year and is completely cancer free. And you ask??? Which would you like to rely on the Dr. who saw your symptons maybe 4 times in the last year or the one that has seen them 20 times in the last day. The one who has performed the operation 5 times in the last day or 3 times in the last year??Or really nuts the one that makes you wait for 1-2 hours in the waiting room or the one who has the patients seen right on schedule. There are many more reasons but will leave it there. The drive is 2 hours and 45 minutes which is kinda sensible given the alternatives. :wave:

I think I detected a bit of sarcasm in the post about The Villages Hospital...but I could be wrong

Yes, I was seeking more info, and got more than I expected. I am sorry for your bad experience at the VILLAGES REGIONAL HOSPITAL. In one way, you had a better experience than i did, as I had to wait over 4 hours for pain meds due to a Kidney stone, but it was at least the correct diagnosis. I will only use the VILLAGES REGIONAL HOSPITAL if I have no choice.
Sorry to hijack this "bacon Post", but the price of bacon here is the least of my problems. I can drive a long way in 4 hours.
