We ordered the Belgian waffles, protein packed avocado toast, and the All American egg sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious. Definitely a great breakfast spot.“

“So glad that someone recommended this family restaurant. Very clean, staff is so friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. We ordered what they suggested it was scrumptious and big portions.

“Want to pet some sweet kitties?! Orlando Cat Cafe is the place to be! They have a spacious kitty area with all kinds of toys and willing adoptees. Plus, their drinks and food are carefully crafted with love, not prepackaged like other places. We've been several times and will continue to visit. Thank you, Orlando Cat Cafe!“

“Anthony was our Museum guide. He is so knowledgable, warm and interactive. Anthony made the tour an informative and fun experience. I highly recommend this tour!!“

“We stayed in Orlando to go to universal and didn’t want to eat at the cheap chain restaurants near the hotel. This was 10 mins and completely worth it!! Wasseems service was so attentive and gave incredible recommendations of coffee and I’m genuinely saying the lotus latte is the best I’ve ever had. I doubt you can go wrong with anything on the menu, we got pirita bowl and Dubai chocolate waffle. Overall 10/0 will come back another trip❤️❤️“

“Great place, food is always good“

“This is becoming a favorite. The salad is too large but very fresh and soooo tasty. (Veggie salad) All the staff are very nice and the atmosphere is wonderful“

“our 1st visit here but would definitely return !! so much choice...Great for kids...lovely staff...we're stuffed !!“

“I’m new to the area and this was my first time trying Juan Valez and I was not disappointed. I ordered an Americana with hazelnut and cream and two pastries: guava finger and ham & cheese bun. There was a young man training so it was a little slow but he was patient and courteous. The Americana was very hot and smooth. No bitterness at all. The ham and cheese was packed full of ham, soft and chewy pastry was perfect. The guava finger was crisp on the outside with gooey cheese and guava filling. Perfect savory/sweet treat. I will definitely return to try other coffees and pastries. Highly recommend you give them a try.“

“We had an outstanding experience here, from check-in to departure. We didn’t have a reservation, but we were able to get in immediately. All three of us had the cheeseburger, and one of us had it with a gf bun. As Disney does, they gave our gf person their own menu and sent out someone from the kitchen to consult on allergy needs. The atmosphere is relaxed with excellent light and open space. Our waiter, Antonio was exceptional. We learned later that this is a favorite of Disney-goers, so we were glad to have had the experience.“

“The food and services were amazing!! Highly recommend ! We will definitely be back again !“

“Friendly service and buzzing breakfast spot in the Millenia area. Venton was warm and attentive with good suggestions and recommendations. Greek omelet and home fries are good - the turkey bacon wasn't very flavorful for some reason. The other waffles look amazing!“

“On vacation from the UK, went to First Watch in Fort Lauderdale 5 years ago and loved the Breakfast so when I returned to the USA after 5 years just had to look them up in Orlando, in smell as I walked in was amazing! Nothings changed, great Breakfast and Great Service, I’ll be back this week!“

“Very Victorian and elaborate decorations. Good food.“

“Maria Montalvo is an fantastic at what she does. She works incredibly hard, leads with confidence, and still makes everyone around her feel welcomed and appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about her team, her guests, and the overall experience — and that kind of leadership makes all the difference.“

“I was browsing for a new breakfast spot in my eyes spotted this local café wasn’t too far from me. I the menu is very simple. It’s in a very nice area. The person I was working there she was very nice. I tried the Jamaican wrap very good. Very nice spices. I also had a number one drink banana watermelon pineapple very good. I’m gonna come back to the spot and try some more to find my favorite but so far so good from my first experience“

“We enjoyed the seasonal beverage, which was a lion king themed latte. It was very good and had a considerable amount of coconut in it, which was more than fine with me. It is very nice to find a coffee stop in the parks, this one is very efficient and has a good selection of different coffees.“

“Outdoor stop has outstanding Mac and Cheese with pulled pork. Topped with coleslaw and crunchies. It's fast service. But the best part is the quiet bagodas just across from EightSpoon and hidden behind the green buildings. Lots of seating. Covered patios to stay out of rain. Quiet peaceful. Calm.
Good food and a secret hideaway where children can take a nap.“

“My 17 year old wanted her cake here! Their cakes are delicious but they branded hers with a white chocolate wafer with Fortuna Bakery on her birthday cake and I found that the only downfall. We don’t want an advertisement on her cake. Next time leave that off. We got the Fantasia cake. She had a great day! Thank you!“

“Enjoyed my Mickey waffles for daily breakfast during my stay.“

“Simply great service“

“Good snack place to take a break.“

“Let me tell you firsthand — First Drop Café at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes was good, really good. From the moment I walked in, I knew this would be a place worth savoring.

The café has a modern charm, and their locally roasted coffee hits the spot perfectly. I tried their farm quiche, and wow — it was flavorful, fresh, and filling without being too heavy. The staff was friendly, efficient, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the experience even better.

Their menu is packed with options like handcrafted sandwiches, fresh wraps, baked goods, and even some sweet gelato treats if you're feeling indulgent. And let's not forget the Florida-fresh orange juice and smoothies — a perfect way to kickstart your day in sunny Orlando.

Whether you’re a guest or just popping by for a great coffee break, First Drop is a spot you won’t regret visiting. It’s definitely earned a place on my list of go-to cafés.“

“Watch was honestly a fantastic breakfast experience from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. The restaurant is conveniently located near a major road, making it very easy to find, and one thing we immediately appreciated was the large amount of parking available. Even during a busy morning rush, parking was not an issue at all, which already started the visit off on a positive note.

As soon as we walked inside, we were greeted warmly by the staff. The atmosphere immediately felt welcoming, bright, and energetic without feeling chaotic. The restaurant was definitely busy, which is usually a good sign for a breakfast spot, but despite the crowd, the wait time was surprisingly short. We only waited around five minutes for a table, which was impressive considering how many people were dining there at the time.

Once we were seated in our booth, we had a chance to look over the menu, which had a great variety of breakfast and brunch options. Our server quickly acknowledged us and let us know he would be right back to take our order. True to his word, within about a minute he returned, ready to help us. Throughout the meal, the service remained excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without constantly interrupting the meal.

For drinks, I ordered the hot chocolate. While it tasted good and was warm and comforting, you could tell it had more of a store-bought hot chocolate flavor rather than a rich homemade one. It definitely was not bad by any means, but compared to how amazing the food was, the hot chocolate was probably the least impressive part of the meal. Still enjoyable overall though.

One thing we noticed was that our food actually came out before the appetizer, which was a little unusual. However, the food arrived quickly, hot, and fresh, so it honestly did not bother us too much in the end. Once we started eating, we completely forgot about that small issue because everything tasted so good.

The strawberry tres leches French toast was absolutely incredible. The flavor was balanced perfectly and the strawberry topping was not overpowering at all. Sometimes strawberry dishes can become overly sweet or artificial tasting, but this dish was soft, flavorful, rich, and perfectly done. Every bite tasted fresh and satisfying without feeling too heavy.

I also ordered two eggs with cheese, which were decent and cooked well, though fairly simple compared to the other dishes we tried. But the true star of the entire meal — the absolute grand slam — was the biscuits and gravy. They were unbelievably good. The biscuits were soft, fluffy, and fresh, while the gravy was rich, flavorful, creamy, and packed with comforting homemade flavor. Honestly, it was one of those dishes where you immediately know you would order it again on your next visit. Easily one of the best parts of the entire breakfast.

The restaurant itself was also very clean and well maintained. Even with how busy it was, the dining room stayed organized and comfortable. The atmosphere felt very family friendly and welcoming, while also being great for couples, friends, or anyone simply wanting a nice breakfast or brunch outing.

For two people, our total came to around $70, which honestly felt fair considering the amount of food, the quality, and the level of service we received. Between the welcoming staff, quick seating time, excellent server, delicious food, and clean atmosphere, the experience felt well worth the price.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would absolutely return again in the future. If you are looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot with welcoming service and delicious comfort food, we highly recommend giving this place a try. We happily give First Watch a full 5 out of 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Definitely will go back. Food is delicious and staff is friendly“

“A “small” french-inspired cafe at Disney’s Riviera resort- but my favorite part is the small library/lounge area connected to the cafe that’s a wonderful and lowkey place to sit and hang out.

I got a lavender iced tea lemonade and it was so refreshing on a sunny day. We tried a pear entremet and it wasn’t too bad either.

Plenty of coffee options here and actually not as spendy as I’d expect on Disney property.“

“Sometimes I’m very concerned that I’m visiting a place that sells Starbucks coffee, but they’re baristas are not trained to make the same high-quality product. But my concerns were misplaced the trolley car Café far exceeded all of my needs and expectations.“

“Pratos maravilhosos, sabor diferenciado, nota 1000“

“To be honest the book was a beast it's about a moose who rejects a goose's advice to carry him because he's flightless but soon a bunch of woodland creatures jumped on his horns the goose seize it and yelled now I'm going to tell everybody you your heard drinks moose juice ridiculous“

“Customer service is amazing! We had late reservations and the kids were hungry. They let us check in and took us back as soon as they could. Food is delicious. We would eat here again! Best place yet out of all of the parks. We highly recommend!“

“I am addicted to the Blondie Chiller extra shot of espresso. And the service is good. I’m a fairly new customer but so far they always have a smile on their faces and engage in conversations. Today I intentionally asked their names so that I can publicly give them praise. Thank you to Soriya and to a new girl Jocelyn …keep up the great great work,“

“Bryanna and Melinda are amazing! We come here every morning for coffee. Bryanna is always helpful and she makes the best drinks! We specifically come here for the service and quality of the drinks. We’re going to miss them when we go home!“

“ben at oasis canteen was on point.

drink was hittin, vibes even better. dude had me thinking i accidentally walked into the best bar on property. might’ve set the bar too high now tbh.

i had the face tats & piercings & my gf had pink hair.. if you remember, you remember lol.“

“I came to Orlando to celebrate my birthday and without a doubt first Watch was an excellent option for breakfast, we went two days and both days Mariana attended us and made the experience unique. Thank you Mariana, the customer service industry needs more people like you“

“I discovered the place recently and loved it. Every time I've been, the service is excellent, I've tried the snacks, I've taken them to a party at home, the prices are honest. I believe that the old reviews are not compatible with the current reality of the establishment.“

“Great service by Stephanie. We tried the lemon ricotta pancakes and they were out of this world. Good coffee and juices as well! Can’t wait to come back.“

“excellent food and fantastic service highly recommended“
