48 Best Cafes near Bay Lake

“Every time we come to Disney we like to try new breakfast spot. We’ve seen some on TikTok or IG and tried them but they were overhyped to say the least. This place was a random find for us and we’re so glad we found it! It’s definitely UNDERhyped! The food was great quality, fresh and had flavor. Plus your portions were very generous and the prices weren’t bad at all. A lot of places in the area charge a premium it seems solely based on location and not quality. This place has it all! Service was also great. Everyone was friendly and we will definitely be making this our regular spot!“

“Love going to this place!!! Best and friendly customers service and one of the best Boba teas ��“

“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.

“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❤️❤️“

“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!“

“Excellent food as always excellent service by Laura! Highly recommend this first watch everybody is always smiling and very friendly“

“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 AT THE SUNDIAL CAFE IN FRONT OF ADIDAS ON INTERNATIONAL DRIVE ALONG WITH MY HUSBAND WE LOVED IT!! I WAS ABLE TO ENJOY A FEW BEERS, THE APPETIZERS, AND DELICIOUS, ESPECIALLY THE ATTENTION OF THE TWO GENTLEMEN WHO SERVED US. WE WILL COME BACK OF COURSE“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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!“

“Simply great service“

“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.“

“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.“

“Typical Starbucks cafe at Disney World. It can be helpful when you need to cool off quickly on a hot day and get into the theme park. The lines are long and service is slow similar to Magic Kingdom so I don't really recommend unless you really want Starbucks.“

“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“

“excellent food and fantastic service highly recommended“

“Good snack place to take a break.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Pratos maravilhosos, sabor diferenciado, nota 1000“

“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,“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“fantastic service, food amazing, nice cupper tea staff 1st class will definitely be going back.“
