Ocala is getting a Peach Valley Cafe.
The restaurant will open at the former Bob Evans location at 2525 SW College Road, serving up its signature homestyle favorites by summer 2026.
Owned by Eric Holm, Peach Valley Cafe was founded in 2001. The Florida-based chain is popular for its lunch and breakfast favorites. When it opens, the Ocala cafe will be the 10th Peach Valley Cafe.
The restaurant’s menu alters slightly with each location to better serve the community it’s in, but diners can expect omelets, benedicts, waffles, French toast, pancakes, and avocado toast for breakfast. Lunch items include chicken and waffles, grilled salmon, chicken wraps, soups, French dips, and more. Some locations offer alcoholic breakfast cocktails, and all offer fresh juice, coffee drinks, and dirty sodas — most served in mason jars. The restaurant caters to early birds, with some locations opening as early as 7 a.m. Peach Valley Cafe also offers a dedicated kids’ menu so everyone in the family has a new favorite dish.
All locations make everything in-house with only fresh ingredients, ensuring customers get an honest meal at an honest price. In keeping with its community focus, Peach Valley Cafe invites customers to join its E-Club, that includes news, specials, and birthday surprises. New members receive a half order of apple fritters when they sign up and purchase two entrees.
