50 Best Cafes in Orlando

“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!“

“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!“

“We love our partners at Framework!“

“Went here for the first time yesterday. Great atmosphere. The bloody Mary’s and staff were awesome. We will definitely be returning“

“I love this place!!! I love the waffles, donuts and everything.“

“Fabulous family owned restaurant that draws locals back! Regardless of whether I’m having breakfast or lunch, I ALWAYS order their Hungarian beef & cabbage soup!“

“A little overpriced, but I love it here anyway. Great coffee and I love the atmosphere. 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!“

“London made our expirience great!! Amazing customer service! Thank you“

“Great atmosphere and great tea. There was live music 🎵 the late night (Thursday night) which was nice.“

“Host/cashier and servers were friendly. I recommend customers check take-out orders before leaving. I ordered my hamburger "all the way" which I was told included lettuce, tomato, onion - I asked for pickles on the side and did get that - thank you - but no lettuce, no tomato, and no lettuce, no onion. I didn't realize the mix-up until I arrived home. ):“

“This cafe has 8 tables and a bench and also a small kids corner in the front right side when you walk in. My son ordered matcha smoothie boba tea and waffles with chicken. There is enough fried chicken for two without a doubt! Francesca is a sweetheart! The people who left before me were delighted and in a great mood which made me feel more welcomed. I’ll be back!“

“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❤️❤️“

“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!!“

“las mejores alcapurrias, empanadillas y tostones en todo Orlando. Sazon auténtica boricua. rrecommend100 %“

“Great service - good food“

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

“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.“

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

“The food is always fresh The staff very polite and respectful Location in Avalon nice Very clean“

“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.💕“

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

“Great coffee, service and location!“

“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❤️❤️“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤“

“Ella is great server and the food is great!large portions and very good!“

“The best Latin food around town“

“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💙“

“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.“

“Deeply Coffee is honestly such a vibe. The environment is everything. You can either study and be unbothered or listen to the jams they have playing. The coffee is TOP TIER. The lavender latte is my absolute favorite! The staff at Deeply are always so kind and accommodating. Overall one of my favorite coffee shops! 10/10“

“Delicious food, friendly staff, and clean restaurant.“

“Mecatos on Orange ave., very friendly, clean, positive attitude, bathroom was super clean, food & coffee was great. All this while the Puerto Rican parade was starting, lots of people. Great staff, keep it up. Gracias, buen trabrajo.“

“Take out was good but I think eating there would be better. The sweet potato biscuits are incredible“

“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!“

“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!“

“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’ve been wanting to come here for many years and I’ve never been and I finally came today! Food and drink is excellent, customer service? Terrible. I will definitely be back because food and prices are amazing
I told the cashier it was my first time there, she didn’t at all bother to explain to me how the menu worked, the menu is overwhelming but the point of her is to assist customers, she stocked, chatted with other employees and pressed buttons on the computer as I ordered. Customer service? Zero.

I also asked her because I noticed that they charge more with card than they do with cash, and I asked her how much more do you guys charge with card? And she answered
“it’s not a lot, like 70 cents”
and I said
“it’s a percentage per dollar, I’m looking for a percent”
The manager/owner was next to me and I asked “are you the owner?” And asked her.
The answer is 3%.

Just in case bring cash so you can pay less, and not support those corporations take charge more.

I spent $35 for 2 drinks 2 baos and corn nuggets“

“Es mi primer visita al restaurant First Watch. Me gusto mucho El Sandwich y la sopa. Excellent servicing. Thank.“

“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 went to the service center to get repairs done to my vehicle and was told that I could have breakfast @ Nissan while I’m waiting. I came to Nero’s and ordered an Energizing Egg Breakfast. It came with 2 eggs cooked your way, your choice of meat, toast and a hash brown. They have beverages as well. The Price was good and the food was hot, fresh and delicious. Service was good and the area is clean. Definitely will be my go to breakfast place when serving my vehicle.“

“Good quick food when in between flights. Drinks are served strong and are delicious. Cuban coffee is 💯👌🏼 Recommended.“

“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“

“Excellent food and smoothies! Excellent customer service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“
