“Some places feed you. Some places pour you a drink. And then there are places that hold you. Eden Abbey is one of those rare spaces where craft meets care, where intention lives in every detail, and where community is not a slogan—but a daily practice of love. The beer crafted by Ben Passmore’s is nothing short of extraordinary—thoughtful, balanced, and brewed with both mastery and soul. And alongside his wife, Eve, the heart of this place beats even stronger. Together, they have created something that goes far beyond a brewery or restaurant. They have built a home. The food is elevated and unexpected—beautifully prepared, deeply satisfying, and far beyond what one anticipates from a brewery. The pretzel bites, buttermilk chicken bites, and wings are all exceptional—perfectly done and crave-worthy. The Mo Clucka sandwich is an absolute standout, and the wraps and salads are just as impressive: fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. There truly isn’t a weak spot on the menu. And the people who serve it? They are family. You can feel it in their laughter, their pride, their presence. No one here is simply “working.” They are welcoming, caring, belonging. In moments when small businesses feel the weight of the world—when a single review can sting deeply—we want it known how profoundly this place matters. Eden Abbey is built on integrity, openness, and an unwavering love for its community. It is a place that listens, learns, grows, and gives. We are endlessly grateful for Ben and Eve, for their remarkable team, and for the sacred space they’ve created—where everyone is welcomed with an open heart, and no one is a stranger for long.“

“Best fry’s! Great hamburgers and sandwiches I had the ham sandwich with the maple bacon onion jam, it was very delicious!!!“

“We’ve been meaning to try this place for a while, Peach Valley Café gets the green light from us. The food is well-portioned and tasty, the staff is very friendly (they were happy to re-seat us when we decided to switch from indoors to the porch) and the atmosphere is chill. Courtney, our server, was fantastic. Check it out! P.S. Peach Valley, your billboard down the road is how we heard about you.“

“Jaydon totally took care of us, he was courteous and professional. The food was outstanding.“

“We went to the Fiests Grande restaurant today (2-1-25). Somebody told the manager that my husband was stealing a cup that was on another table. My husband saw the cup and was showing me how cool it was (we are seniors and if my husband liked a cup that he saw he would have asked our server if the restaurant sold them, we do not have to steal. Nor were we dressed poorly.) So, the manager came over to us, and demanded to look in my husband's bag. I felt so bad for my husband! The look on his face! He was mortified! She did not find a cup, because my husband did not take anything. She embarrassed my husband and me in front of everyone. I approched the manager and told her she was out of line and she told me she had to protect her customers...well, my husband and I were also her customers, she didn't protect us from public humiliation! She also told me " I am Mexican, I know how it feels. I don't know what she meant by that. We will never visit that restaurant again, and probably won't go to Mt. Dora again either! Needless to say, our beautiful day was ruined.“

“Great bar staff, cool wine bar atmosphere, reasonable prices on wine and beer“

“I haven't even eaten here, I just know it's good 🤣😭🤤“

“Bath was an excellent server at the bar we sat and ate the pot roast dinner which was fabulous. Look forward to coming back again soon.“

“Great wine and beer shop where you can get beer on tap and wine by the glass. Lots of little couches and chairs in different corners to sit and enjoy. There is a cold beer fridge where you can also choose beer to consume on site. The only disappointment is that beer to go is 40% off the marked price but only for unrefrigerated beer. Beer is perishable and should always be refrigerated. Definitely worth a visit.“

“Nora was wonderful at the Beau Claire at Lakeside Inn. She greeted my mom and me so warmly even with a big party coming in, helped us sit outside with a beautiful view, and made us feel really comfortable and taken care of. She answered all our questions about the food and how the restaurant operates, and I learned more in one visit than I had in 30 years living here — I didn’t even realize you could just come eat here, and I can walk from my grandmother’s house! Most of all, Nora helped my mom feel at ease with her anxiety. We’re excited to come back. Thank you, Nora!“

“Amazing location, excellent service at bar and patio. Poke is fresh and brick oven pizza just the right size and yummy ingredients. Not heavy at all. Of course wine selection is good and beer is very cold! Sitting outside is gorgeous with Orange umbrellas and just steps from the MT Dora Yacht Club“

“My wife and I found this place about a year ago while looking for local coffee shops. I am always surprised by how balanced the seasonal coffee options are, no matter how crazy they sound! It's really tough to find places that have intriguing new flavors, but also find the right balance so the drink isn't all syrup or flavor. Anyway, we love this little shop and appreciate the time you put into your coffee options!“

“Delicious food with a wide variety of options Great prompt and kind service. Clean Restaurant. It's really one of our favorites near home.“

“Great place. Best fish and chips around :^)“

“Excellent pizza and friendly service“

“great place in mt dora! great food and service..we had the bltt wrap and muffaletta..both delicious and fresh. .frozen lemonade yummy. .highly recommend!“

“Best BBQ joint in Tavares that's for sure. My go-to is the single Lunch Express special with Jerk Chicken and baked beans. Their brisket chilli is so good too, packs enough heat to warm your house, plus the staff are really nice. 11/10 experience.“

“Good food, good service and Amazing Bananas Foster which I never liked until I had it here!“

“This is the worst bar in Mount Dora. If you want to have a bad time. Go here. We showed up to the bar at 10 pm on a Saturday and ordered one drink per person. While my friends went to the bathroom, the bartender walked up to our table and took away our purchased drinks for no reason. The "manager", Mark came up and told me that we weren't welcome anymore. I asked why and he had no answer. I asked why again and he had no answer. Then after multiple times questioning, he said , "your too intoxicated" We were literally sober. The manager then physically intimidated us and forced us to leave. I'll never go to this bar again I live in this town and frequent town regularly. I'll never recommend anyone go to this bar for food or drink. What a top to bottom terrible experience. If you enjoy a good time, skip this bar.“

“I discovered Las Palmas about 7 months ago passing through Mt. Dora. I had the best Cuban sandwich possibly ever and couldn’t wait to get back! Well, I made a point to return and Camillo provided another great experience. He knew the menu well and made great suggestions. The food was excellent and did not disappoint. Whenever I’m in the area I will be eating there. You should too!“

“This is the best starbucks ever. They're truly family. They're so inviting. Know my order and execute it perfectly every single time. They love my puppy and always make her and my day. They never cease to put a smile in your face and fill your spirit with happiness. Everyone deserves a raise here ?“

“This place is hands down best ice cream shop I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend. There truffles are to die for.“

“Best authentic Cuban food in the area. Love the live music!“
