50 Best Cafes near Winter Springs

“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.“

“The food was absolutely perfect! Service was fast and friendly. Bethany was an awesome server!“

“Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025, my girlfriend, my youngest son and I visited First Watch on Redbug Lake Rd in Winter Springs for my Birthday brunch, and I wanted to say we had a wonderful time. Although my girlfriend has visited several times before at a different location it was mine and my son's first time visiting First Watch, and we are super impressed. The food was very fresh and delicious and the presentation of our order was amazing. Our Server Jazlyn was very informative and helpful and she went above and beyond in her service to our needs. Afterwards the Manager Rick was also very kind and helped us out when buying goodies to take home. I highly recommend First Watch especially the one on Redbug Lake Rd in the Publix shopping center in Winter Springs, Florida.“

“I’ve stopped into The Glass Knife several times and always enjoyed their coffee and pastries; everything is top notch in terms of quality and presentation. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.

That said, the service has felt a little snooty each time. Nothing outright rude, but I just don’t feel especially welcome when ordering. It’s a beautiful spot with delicious treats, but the vibe could be warmer. Still, four stars for the quality alone.“

“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!“

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

“This place is an oasis! The owners were simply delightful, the food was amazing, and the ambience of the seating area was relaxing and didn’t feel like I was in an office building at all. I don’t even work here but I came here after reading the reviews and seeing a Reddit post. I will be back and will be shouting from the rooftops about how great this place is! ?️?️?️“

“Best place to go for all your yummy needs. From their coffee to their teas! The avenas, waffles and shakes you can’t go wrong!! Love it when I can get out there! It’s a must go to spot!! You’ll thank me lol!!“

“Fantastic from scratch food. We love it all!“

“Loved the Monkey Bread!!! The Almond Croissant was so delicious too. Cinnamon roll wasn’t for me- in that it’s flavors were more citrusy + cream cheese icing isn’t a fave: that’s ok tho!! I’m sure it’s someone’s fave!! The chocolate cookie was great!! Can’t wait to return.“

“We love our partners at Framework!“

“if your looking for a place that cares about your nutrition and health this is the place to go everyone who works there shows you So much love from the time you walk in all the way to you walking out shoutout to the owners for make the experience awesome!!! Orlando Nutrition is the real deal in hospitality and service‼️‼️“

“Love this place, delicious food and great customer service!“

“Customer service is great, so is the food and the ambiance!!! Will definitely go back!!!“

“Cute store front with quick service! Clean and inviting, highly recommend for Boba fanatics, like myself“

“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. ):“

“I have only ever consumed the coffee from this establishment, and it is of exceptional quality. Although it is slightly more expensive than Starbucks, the quality is superior. However, I do not appreciate the culture of tipping. Employers should pay their employees a fair wage so that they are not reliant on customers to supplement their income.“

“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.“

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

“Awesome food. if you close by, go by and check them out“

“Excellent service & fresh food !!!“

“Great food, great people and awesome customer service. My family and I are Always enjoying eating at Greenhouse Cafe. Wonderful owner with big HEART. ❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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.❤️“

“The best Latin food around town“

“We came after visiting a nearby bakery (bakery was good but not my fav) and were blessed with this sweet spot. I got a sea salt caramel latte and my boyfriend a sea salt caramel chai. We shared a deeeeeelicious Nutella brownie. Look forward to coming back and getting something new!!“

“Tried the passion fruit Mega Te, HUGE portion, BEAUTIFULY served and delicious. YUMMY Definitely would recommend. I felt the energy throughout my day. Super friendly service, locally owned and operated. The shop smells sweet like vanilla, a happy ambient. I will be coming back often. Thanks Shalom Nutrition.“

“Excellent food and smoothies! Excellent customer service!“

“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!“

“Love this place, located in a great area, the food is always hot and delicious and the smoothies are great too! They do get busy during lunch but they get through the line quickly with ease! I’ve visited for breakfast and lunch multiple times ?“

“yummy.. great food authentic“

“Omg!! This place provided me so much more than good food. The cafe is inside Million Air (I told Will there needs to be a huge “Jet-way Cafe” sign outside) where they charter private planes. There was free coffee and a “secret” lounge where I was able to kill more than 3 hours. It’s secret (shh) ?.Will, the cafe owner, was lovely & other staff in Million Air was lovely.. Philly Steak was VERY lovely. Will was awesome.What a cute little place. It was a blessing to stumble in here!! Thank you!!“

“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“

“A top favorite of mine.

For breakfast, lunch or a snack break you cannot go wrong. Steak breakfast burrito 🌯 is amazing and the daily specials are a deal and a half!

Tiffany the owner always remembers frequent customer names and asks how you are. Infact, the whole crew is always friendly and makes you feel welcome.

Not to mention very affordable prices for the area. Cannot recommend highly enough!“

“I come here almost every Monday for breakfast. We love always getting Dunia as our server. She goes above and beyond for us to take care of us. If you have the pleasure of getting her as your server you can bet that she’ll give you the best service!“

“fresh, perfect bites, great variety“

“Foxtail knows their coffee but presentation has room for improvement. The Sugar Waffle was a lovely, warm, fluffy and moist, textured bliss.

Service was friendly, but I felt like there may have been an unspoken judgment from the barista when I chose not to tip. I am not a cheap skate and typically tip well. That said, tips should be appreciated, not expected, and I certainly wouldn't keep someone employed at my establishment if they were guilting customers about tipping.

The atmosphere would be great if someone had the wherewithal to simply wipe the wetness off the seats in the thoroughfare area at the start of the day. It rains in DTO almost every day/night lately, so having a focus on customer courtesy by wiping down the limited seating should be a common-sense practice for creating an inviting atmosphere.“

“As a vegan, the food options here are INCREDIBLE! I really appreciate that they used whole food ingredients and no “fake meat” stuff. We ordered their vegan brekie sandwich and it had a homemade lentil patty and tofu! So much good protein in one sandwich! Also their vegan pineapple oat pancakes were so healthy, delicious, and filing. I’m so happy we found this place. Definitely coming back!

Additionally, their staff is so welcoming and friendly! Shoutout to Cole!“

“Can’t believe I didn’t come here any sooner!! Highly highly recommend to everyone! I got the blue colored bowl, the base is called “Spirulina”. I am a huge açaí fan and have never tried this blue base. I love it! It tastes refreshing and honestly like a taste of true summer feeling!! Definitely coming back! 🩵🧜‍♀️☀️“

“Nathalia was super helpful! The food was great!“

“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.“

“Just left there for my first visit and I found it to be slightful. My windiw seat was perfect, the jazz music , the cheese playecwas lovelybandvour waiter Leah was so carefulbtokeep us hapoy and cared for. I will be back very soon“

“I ordered today and was pleasantly suprised! My cashier Gwen was delightful and helped me very quickly. My food was great as well. I came a few months ago and my experience was not nearly as pleasant but this one was definitely a lot better. So good to see improvement and I will definitely be coming back.“

“Nature's Table has really great food. Every time I go in there, the employees are very friendly. I always get the same thing, a breakfast Quesadilla or a sesame chicken wrap and a tropical oasis for a smoothie. Every time they do not disappoint. I come here all the time, and I will keep going.“

“This place is amazing! I haven't written a Google review in forever, and I am literally writing this one while sitting at the table after having an incredibly delicious breakfast with my hubby for Valentine's Day! Alli, our server, was fantastic, and we already can't wait to go back and ask for her next time! My hubby had the cookie dough waffle, bacon, and fried potatoes. I had the apple fritter French toast with blueberries, bacon, and scrambled eggs. My hubby likes his bacon wiggly, and I like mine cooked until it's crunchy, and they cooked everything perfectly! We also started with the cinnamon bun cold brew, holy frijoles, it was DELISH!! This is our new favorite breakfast spot and we will be bringing family and friends FOR SURE!! Thank you Alli and chefs for a fantastic breakfast!!“

“Amazing Experience from begining to end. Maya’s Cafe is a romantic, eclectic adventure with the most delicious food and drinks. The ambiance and service is warm, entertaining and relaxing. Beautiful art work and food to leave you wanting to come back again & again.“

“If I’m feeling extra hipster, I really dig Foxtail Coffee - specifically the Winter Park location on Orange Avenue. It’s charming in a handlebar moustache kinda way, and I’m always drawn to working on a screenplay in one of the tight corner spot. They have cool implements of caffeinated wonder, and some other edible treats that can keep your mojo in a fluid state.

The location on Lee Road has none of that. It’s a purely drive thru model, more of a Kia version of the Rolls Royce. I had a mocha recently, and in shot form, it was pretty decent. I tried to sit outside on the patio, but the traffic was a distraction. In the summer, this will be a zero-sum game.

If you’re looking for a solid alternative to Starbucks, I can give Foxtail a firm thumbs up. Be sure to give the breakfast sandwich a whirl. And if you’re craving the coffee shop vibe for some creative deliberation, they do have some cool spots - just not this one.

A good choice for a pick up and roll.

Stay foxy.“

“•• Excellent Cafe •• Luan and fam were very friendly and the chicken banh mi was spectacular; fresh, quick, high quality and SO tasty! And then baked items are also amazing. I recommend you go there today.“

“Best place to get a bowl. Love the service and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy“
