Blayne is one of the friendliest people I have ever met! Whether you stop for a coffee (Indian River Beans), or you are hungry for a yummy sandwich you will be greeted with a warm smile and a new friend. The Goucho sandwich has a unique spin with homemade pickled onions, but you can't go wrong with any sandwich on the menu. So glad you are parked at the end of Chase Hammock Rd! Can we talk about lunch? I just had a burger and it was by far the best Smash burger ever! It's the little touches, homemade pickles and sauces that make all of Blayne's food special.

I had the good fortune of trying the Gaucho Food Truck at the Zero Gravity Wine event—what a lively, fresh, and healthy alternative to deep-fried foods! Not that there’s anything wrong with those; they definitely have their moments. I tried the Fig Jam & Bacon Grilled Cheese and the BLAT, both excellent options. If you’re undecided, the sandwiches come with chips or a mesclun salad.

Adorable little food truck along SR3 heading towards the space center! Blake, the owner/chef was very personable and was happy to explain all of their offerings and even offered customizations if wanted. I got the everything bagel (sourced from NY) bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was hot, fresh, and delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try more! Breakfast and lunch M-F and then events and markets on the weekends! Definitely need more of this in our little town.

I ordered the roasted chicken avocado bowl for myself and for my spouse, the steak bagel and bacon and cheddar bagel. My spouse loved the breakfast sandwiches: as for the salad bowl, It was 10/10. Refreshing and delicious. Very fulfilling, so may have to save some for later! Blayne was very nice and gave me ideas of things to do in the area. Highly recommend stopping here!
