We found this place a few weeks ago and it's our favorite one! At least 1 time per week we go for our coffee and breakfast

We really love this place. We come here all the time. The only problem is everybody else loves it too and so it can be super busy. Sometimes it’s hard to find a table and they might get the order wrong on occasion, but everything is so good that we keep coming back regardless. Best coffee in Winter Garden. Very unique menu items!

I simply love The French Cafe. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the charm and style of the place. I absolutely love their aesthetic and the way everything feels thoughtfully put together.

One thing that makes such a difference for me is that they have photos on the menu. It makes choosing so much easier and more exciting, especially when everything looks delicious. They also have so many food options, whether you are in the mood for something sweet, savory, light, or indulgent.

They also have amazing French food options that truly make me feel like I am in France. Every bite gives that authentic French café experience, from the pastries to the savory dishes.

The environment is spacious and comfortable, which I really appreciate. Even when it is full and busy, it never feels chaotic. And the best part is that the food still comes out quickly, which shows how organized and professional the team is.

Amazing atmosphere, great variety, fast service, and beautiful presentation. Definitely a five star experience every time.

Heard of this place not this particular location but was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately unsure if I would return. I went there on Valentine's day and they looked like they were overwhelmed so hopefully that is the reason for the service. When we arrived to the counter the lady said we can order but it would be 40min for the food to come out as kitchen was closed like what? Since we came from far we went ahead and ordered.We ordered a pastry and waffles and eggs and a coffee that is it. As we are patiently waiting first comes the coffee then 20min or so we get the waffles no eggs. My son is hungry proceed to eat half the waffles thinking his eggs should be coming. I asked one server Cleaning about our order if it's normal for the things we ordered to come out sporadically he said yes and walked away he looked bored with life to be honest. So 10min later I ask another gentleman he said he will go check ... 5min later he drops off soup at our table and leaves I had to say loudly that's not ours he comes and takes them .... I wait around another 5min thinking surely he will get it right , nope I proceeded to go to counter off to the side and asked hey when you order a pastry do they give it to you right there at order she said yes, I made her aware that didn't happen and that my kids eggs were also still missing. That's when they go and complete my order , when I brought it up ... If I didn't I'm sure we would have been there forever unnoticed.The eggs were on the cold side as I'm sure they were just sitting there .Our experience was the service was bad and food was nothing to rave about. Doubtful I will give this location another chance.

We drove 2 hrs to this cafe on a valentines day just to get disappointed. We were a party of 2 and just ordered an omelette and a panini for which they took about an hour and they almost forgot the sides which we had to remind them. Food was not so great and so is the service.

The food was simple and the capuchino was more a late than a capuchino. The croissant with ham and cheese came cold. It was busy today Saturdays. Maybe on weekdays could be a better experience

I think this place is just hyped up.. we went and the first time bought one of everything to try, spent over $80. It was a super busy day so we understood the wait for our coffee flight but once we got it, it wasn’t even as pretty as they made it seem on the page… everything was great that we got so we went back again today and I ordered a turkey, egg and cheese croissant sandwich. the turkey was just cheap nasty turkey that shook like jello. Closer to a baloney slice than turkey… I’d just expect at $60 to feed two ppl with drinks, to have a better deli meat on my sandwich… not saying we won’t be back for the coffee & bakery but definitely won’t be ordering anything with the turkey.

Me and my friends went there to try the viral beautiful pastries they had. Unfortunately they weren't good they weren't creamy inside they had a weird jello like consistency so we were very disappointed. I will say I still actually enjoyed the lemon one but all the others we got were a bust. The peach the green apple the coffee bean the bubbley looking raspberry one and I got one called pistachio heavenly or something long rectangle looking dessert all were mediocre. They also got the salmon and cream cheese sandwich which they said wasn't great but they did like the french onion soup. You might think differently but that is our opinion.

My sis and i came here after my endoscopy. The drinks are beautifully made , the sandwich was well toasted and stayed hot, which I enjoyed so much. The salad was delicious. The almond taste was so delicious and not overly sweet. Presentation is great and taste is great. The manager is super sweet and welcoming and i appreciate him for that. He deserves hugs and appreciation. The chai needs more spice , its not bad at all just missing that extra umphff Ya know. Over all our money was very well spent here. They serve delicious food and are not stingy. We really enjoyed our meal.

Went with my family to have lunch. In all food was pretty good but the service needs work. Food had no order on how it was coming out and those who ran the food varied from the cashier, the busser, or coffee maker. Surround tables also getting upset for the same reason. We we waited more than 30 mins for our grilled chicken salad. And the staff would only mention that it was coming out soon. I’m sorry but not unless you went to a farm to kill the chicken yourself, it should not take that long to come out. After another 10 mins we decided to cancel the order and leave. The service needs better structure and the staff also needs some training for one ignored my sister the entire time she was ready to order and another just threw the silverware on the table. I don’t see how that is friendly or attentive of staff members.
