My husband left for a meeting in West Palm Beach, and it was just me and the doggie.
After searching for a Cuban or Colombian place nearby, the only one that appeared was One Way Café. I read the menu and immediately saw the confirmation for my hungry soul: café con leche, ham croquettes, and tostadas.
“Ask and it will be given to you” (Matthew 7:7)
I ordered a Lyft. The driver told me about a great Dominican restaurant 30 minutes away, but that will be for another day because I cannot stay too long away from my dog. My doggie runs my schedule; I just cooperate.
When I arrived, I loved the colors — very beachy, very happy. There were a few tables in the center and a bar with high chairs. I looked around and thought this place could fill up at any moment, so I sat at the bar like a professional lunch customer.
I was attended quickly — no waiting. That alone deserves five stars and a Psalm.I ordered the Monday Morning breakfast with rice and scrambled eggs with vegetables, plus my tostadas and ham croquettes — four of them, thank you, Jesus.
While I was eating, I read the menu and saw there was a short story about the place. Right next to where I was sitting there was a picture that said:
“In loving memory of Billy.”
I studied the photo and realized I was having lunch next to the original owner — well, his picture. And I started thinking how the world works. Twenty-two years ago he bought this café without knowing that one day it would rescue a woman in Jupiter who urgently needed café con leche.
“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps” (Proverbs 16:9).
Then I started talking to Mr. Pete, a man with the brightest blue eyes. Looking at his eyes was like looking at the ocean — not just any ocean, but the turquoise one I saw in Greece 29 years ago.
I spoke to him in Spanish, and his girlfriend Crystal came to the rescue because he does not speak Spanish. Whenever I am in Florida I like to speak my native language. At home I am the only one who speaks Spanish — I even speak Spanish to my dog just to feel I have Spanish-speaking roomate.
I tried to read my book online, but it did not load, so I read the news for a few minutes and then said, “Lord, I need activity,” and God provided — Pete kept me entertained.
He told me how he got the place, about his family in Massachusetts, and of course told me about his soul mate Crystal. And let me say the truth: she is the light of the café — beautiful, friendly, and full of joy.
“A gracious woman gains respect” (Proverbs 11:16).
I watched Pete cook in the meanwhile I kept ordering coffee at the bar like people order cocktails. I do not drink alcohol, so this is my version of nightlife — espresso with foam at lunch time.
Then, while I was sitting there, one song caught my attention. I had heard it many times before, but I could not remember the name or the band. Pete started searching for it, he knew it was the Beatles and , ChatGPT helped, and together we found the answer.
As I sat there eating, the music played and for a moment it felt like I had gone back in time and how some lyrics of that song fit the moment I was in :
“There are places I remember…”
And I said to myself — I will definitely remember this place, One Way Café.
“I will remember the works of the Lord” (Psalm 77:11).
Then came the line:
“All these places had their moments, some are dead and some are living…”
Even though Mr. Billy is no longer on this earth, his friend Pete is doing a beautiful job honoring his memory through this café.
“The memory of the righteous is a blessing” (Proverbs 10:7).
The place is alive — full of food, music, conversations, and new visitors like me who walk in without knowing we are stepping into someone else’s legacy.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). I totally and unequivocally recommend this place!!
The staff were friendly and quick, and the vibe was really cozy — perfect for a relaxed morning. Prices were fair and portions were generous. Definitely one of my new favorite breakfast spots. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!
We got Cuban sandwiches, the Chef Rodrigo salad, empanadas and cafe con leches. So yummy!
