“Delicious food and very friendly owners. Very clean and comfortable. Good selection of vegan lunch items to choose among. I loved the wrap I had, despite not being vegan myself. A little tricky to find once you enter the (office) building. Walk to the very end of the hallway to the right when you pass the lobby area.“

“Today I stopped in for some wellness shots & left with much more. First time trying the Buffalo Chickpea Salad & I ate it on my way home it looked so good-it was amazing! Then I broke into the homemade Broccoli Potato soup-yummy! Washed it all down with the watermelon Good Vibrations juice! If only we had a location in Lake Mary/Sanford, (hint hint) I would eat there multiple times per week! I just can’t say enough about this place & the owners are absolute gems!“

What really stood out was the service our server Abbey was warm, attentive, and made great recommendations. A wonderful spot in Winter Park that I look forward to visiting again.“

“Ate Sunday brunch. Staff was very friendly, food was delicious and served fast. Bartender (Hailey) was very polite and responsive. Good atmosphere. Would come back!“

“My favorite Thai restaurant whenever I am in Sanford, FL to visit my family. The Thai Cafe is operated by a lovely couple. It is quite authentic and super fresh. The food from the kitchen is prepared lovingly by the wife, the husband (and sometimes their son) prepares the smoothies and the drinks. Be warned the spice level is a bit hotter so you might want to take it down a notch. Go and support this local business!!“

I have come in here with my cousin a few times and once with my college-age son, and the food has been great everytime. It's welcoming and I feel like I'm somewhere else besides Orlando when I'm here. They serve gelato which I look forward to trying next. Very relaxing place for us.“

“Amazing, delicious, cozy!“

“Best calzones in town! Best costumer service! Kind and friendly, I just can't say enough. Please, please, please support small businesses. We definitely get what we pay for and Cafè Verona does not disappoint.“

“Went here twice this past week and I wish I could take the cafe home to Massachusetts 😻 best smoothies / bowls and the friendliest people !“

“My husband and I have been going here for years now. We get our 12-5gallon alkaline waters every few months and are always greeted with a smile and friendly conversation. I would be so lost without this amazing water. We are addicted to it at home. It’s the best water in the whole world.“

“I found Buttermilk Bakery via Yelp. I'm so glad I did. I've been in town for work staying at the Sheraton and this was on the way to meet some friends for brunch with their 6 month and 4 year old.

I got some goodies here and to say they were a hit, would be an understatement. Fresh. Delicious and Beautiful.

Highly reccomend!“

“An incredible hidden gem in Orlando’s Thornton park! Adorable little spot with ample inside and outside seating. We loved the bacon, egg & cheese croissant and the club sandwich (10/10 fresh baked baguette). Delicious tea selection — I enjoyed the hot green tea & my husband enjoyed the iced ginger peach tea. A delicious looking bakery case of sweet treats; we are obsessed with the fresh baked chocolate croissants. Service was friendly & speedy. Can’t wait to come back with girlfriends for salads & a bottle of mimosas for brunch next time.“

“In my opinion, it’s one of the best places in Orlando. The staff is excellent—friendly and courteous. The food is outstanding. We’ve tried different dishes every time, and they’ve all been equally delicious.
Even the coffee alone is a treat in its own right.“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤“

“The breakfast croissant was everything you want to start your day right—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The croissant was soft yet lightly toasted. The eggs were fluffy, the cheese melted just right, and the meat added a savory punch without overpowering the rest. Every bite was warm, satisfying, and full of flavor. Definitely a go-to choice for a quick but delicious breakfast. I love DT Cafe💙“

“This is supposed to be a Steak Omelet, their manager Marlen refused to replace! Would you eat this? Winter Park location would never have your omelet looking this sloppy!“

“The best Latin food around town“

“It was great! A nice little hidden gem 💜“

“Happy to find a home church where their main focus is Jesus, repentance, forgiveness, salvation and encourage each other to keep walking in God’s will and obedience of His Word. A place where the Holy Spirit moves with liberty and the worship time is to worship 🙌🏼 not a simple stage with singers. Worship prepares the place for God to show off.❤️“

“Excellent service & fresh food !!!“

“Best place to eat! Always makes the paddling trip worth it!“

“The freshest salad I've eaten in a long time! The lettuce was crispy and the egg was creamy, even though it was hard boiled. A wonderful "fast-food " lunch that wasn't fast-food. Thank you!“

“We stopped by the East End Market location - my latte was fantastic! My husband had the white cold brew which he enjoyed! We’ll stop in again next time we’re in the area, hopefully earlier in the morning so that we can try some of the delicious looking pastries!“

“It’s a cozy coffee shop with an outdoor seating overlooking Lake Barton. One of the best places to have a late night coffee.💕“

“One of the best cold brews in town! 😊“

“Great coffee, service and location!“

“I love SoBol! The açaí bowls are always fresh, perfectly blended, and loaded with the best toppings. You can really taste the quality in every bite — everything from the granola to the fruit feels so thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and bright, and the staff is so kind and patient!

It’s the perfect spot for a healthy pick-me-up or a little treat after the gym. You can tell they take pride in what they do — it’s more than just a bowl, it’s a whole good-vibe experience. Highly recommend to anyone who loves fresh, real ingredients and great service!“

“I was running late on this chilly brisk morning and knew I needed a nice warm caffeinated boost. Apparently I wasn't the only one. I had a short window of opportunity and was not disappointed by the person behind the counter magically making beverages for all. Not sure of the name but I think it's was Casey or something similar. All I know is that I will recognize that beeming smile the next time I visit. It's nice knowing that even when time won't allow a tasty warm caffeinated beverage, I've got options. Go FoxTail!!!“

“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“

“I visited this place for the first time and I had a really great time!! The guy who was at the register was extremely nice and mentioned the menu really well. I thought the flamingo decorations were so cute and in the middle there’s a little bar where you can get napkins and other condiments. I also got two slices of cheese pizza, they were warmed up and delicious!“

“Excellent food and smoothies! Excellent customer service!“

“I’ve now visited New General Cafe multiple times, and it has quickly become one of my favorite gluten-free-friendly spots in Winter Park.

What makes this place stand out is that gluten-free options are thoughtfully integrated throughout the menu rather than treated as an afterthought. The staff was knowledgeable about dietary restrictions, and I felt comfortable ordering as someone who actively seeks safe gluten-free dining options.

On this visit, I had the chicken burrito with their incredible green sauce, which added the perfect amount of flavor and freshness. I’ve also previously enjoyed the breakfast burrito, which was equally impressive.

The star of the menu for me, however, is the Blueberry Coffee Cake Pancake. Beautifully presented with fresh blueberries, blueberry compote, and a coffee cake crumble topping, it was one of the most unique gluten-free breakfast items I’ve had in Central Florida.

The coffee program is equally impressive. My latte was expertly prepared and paired perfectly with the relaxed atmosphere.

Beyond the food, the cafe itself is bright, modern, and welcoming, with a clean aesthetic that makes it a great place to meet friends, work remotely, or simply enjoy a slow morning.

If you’re gluten-free, have celiac disease, or are simply looking for quality food and coffee in Winter Park, New General Cafe is absolutely worth a visit.“

“Such a welcome happy calm environment the cats are so so sweet and so are the staff. Bongo the cat manager is very professional as well. The butter bear is a must try❤️❤️“

“The place just reopened. I've passed by several times and decided to stop by yesterday ... the owner was very welcoming as well as the lady behind the counter! I ordered 2 subs a turkey with bacon ? and a Philly cheese steak, both combo meals (soda+chips) totaling around less than $13 ! Which is impressive within itself, but both subs were excellent! Sorry, no pics. I ate them already, but if you would like a great sub without paying ridiculous prices, this is the place to go .... did I mention they also have Pizza ?

Parking: The restaurant sits in the same building as an apartment complex. Although the complex is residential, there are a few spots in front of the restaurant“

“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.“

“The old man is a grump lol but he's good at remembering you and what you like, which is great service in my book because you build a relationship that way. Plus, his current employee Vicky is really nice and balances him out. I am picky with food but love the meatloaf, fried pork loin (white gravy is the best), quesadillas, and potato day (Thursday) is the best. I haven't been going lately to save money but won't miss potato day!

Vegetarian options: Potato day and when he serves quesadillas, you can ask it without chicken. Plus he sells white rice and black beans, mac and cheese, soup“
