BELLE GLADE, Fla. — WPTV is connecting with you in your community!
Every month, WPTV makes time to be in the community, actively listening to your stories.
Banyan Breakfast Cafe owner Shante Edwards has restaurant work in her blood — and she has built a loyal following in Belle Glade to prove it.
Edwards, a Belle Glade native, said the community is what keeps her going.
"Although we are a small community, we are a very strong and close-knit community. I must say I have a lot of loyal customers who've been coming to us for many, many, many years. And I really appreciate that."

The cafe's menu is built for every kind of breakfast appetite. Edwards said fish and grits is a top seller, and the restaurant recently added oxtails and grits. Chicken and waffles and French toast — both available with a variety of toppings — are also popular options. For those looking for something lighter, the menu includes breakfast bowls, breakfast sandwiches, and omelets.
Edwards said the restaurant business is more than a job for her.
"I eat, sleep, drink everything in the restaurant."
The cafe's welcoming atmosphere extends to its decor. Books on display carry titles with messages like "Be grateful," "Think positive," and "Inspire others."
