I was in Orlando on business and had Vanessa's on my list to try. I stopped in for much-needed…read morecoffee and left very impressed. I ordered a cappuccino, orange juice, and a bagel sandwich with egg, sausage, and Swiss cheese. Everything was excellent. The cappuccino was bold and flavorful -- it really woke me up. The bagel was soft and fresh, and the sandwich was warm, tasty, and satisfying. The OJ was a nice touch for extra energy. The owner, Jessica, is from Puerto Rico (Boricua like me!), which made the visit even more special. You order and pay at the counter, then enjoy the beautiful dining area. It's welcoming with comfortable seating and a sophisticated white-on-black décor featuring inspiring messages about life and God's providence. It's a lovely spot with great food and a warm atmosphere. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Orlando

This review is only regarding the coffee. The aesthetic:…read morefarm/barn vibes. There's plenty of tables, some accommodating up to six guests. The service was good; we were greeted immediately as we entered and everyone was so nice. We got the white chocolate strawberry and white chocolate lavender and white mocha latte. The white mocha did not have any coffee flavor and left a sugary aftertaste. The white chocolate strawberry had a light strawberry flavor which I appreciated but the coffee was very light and watered down. The only that was decent was the white chocolate lavender. Def recommend using a dark roast bean to enhance the coffee flavor Another downside is that despite the how large the place is, there is only 1 bathroom for men and women with 1 stall.

The Matcha is something my taste buds tend to be sensitive to and this one was a mild delicious flavor. The drinks were handed to us quickly. Perfect solution if you are staying at a nearby hotel and heading to the airport, but would like a quick drink before you hop on a shuttle. Loved the surprise of cute mantras written on the top of each of our cups. We had three drinks, and they each said something completely different that added joy to our morning.

I got the banana bread latte with oat milk, which also had real banana puree in it, delicious! They had a nice space filled with tables and chairs for people to hang out, work, study, etc. and the lighting was a nice ambiance. Just a note for anyone visiting, they do have a Christian influence throughout the store, but didn't feel overbearing or pressuring, just kind vibes. It's situated in a little strip mall so there is plenty of parking in front and around the business Next time I'm in Orlando, I'll be back!

I really appreciated the input about the drinks from the two individuals working behind the bar and I enjoyed both cocktails that I ordered. A few weeks later I decided to go back for their coffee. I met up with a friend and we had a lovely time. Their coffee was also delicious. If you're a fan of pistachio, you'll like Keral's Kulfi. Their food options are definitely limited, but I did enjoy their croissant. A word of warning to those visiting, the exterior of this plaza does not match the interior of this place. I also find that from the outside Luminescent almost looks closed when it is not. This place is definitely a hidden gem in the East Orlando area, and it's really one of the only "classy" bars you can go to without having to go all the way downtown.

It's a good thing I don't live close to Luminescent, otherwise I don't think you'd be able to pry…read moreme away! The interior design of Luminescent is top-tier - this feels like a trendy coffee shop you'd find in LA, something the East side of Orlando really needed! This is a great space to come and work or study - their music isn't too loud, and there's ample (and well spaced out) seating. The baristas were incredibly helpful when I found myself indecisive about menu options, and more importantly they make a mean latte. Overall, Luminescent shows attention to detail in everything they do. From fresh flowers on the tables to purse hooks on the bar, and fresh fruit garnishes, you can tell the Luminescent team is truly committed to providing a great customer experience.

Our paninis were so HOT off the press with delicious flavors and the best pomegranate & raspberry hot tea, all perfect for a cool day in Orlando. The service was beyond 10 , the friendliest people I have met in a business ever. They even surprised us with a delightful dessert for my birthday to share. We all got baklava to go, so glad, because it is just the right texture of crisp and sweet, both the walnut and pistachio varieties. I also got a piece of Pistachio ricotta cake. To make our visit feel even more appreciated by the business, we were given goodbyes in the parking lot by hugs from the owner. This is what makes a good business great. Snagged a forkful when I got home. It was like eating air light flavorful whipped cream. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the great experience.

Some of the best-tasting kratom and kava I've had. I am genuinely impressed at how smooth and mild…read moreeverything was here. My partner and I met here for a quick drink with his parents. The interior is dark and moody, but minimal decor. Very sparse. Couch seating was comfy but close to the pool table behind (if someone is playing, you'll hear the CLACK of billiard balls very clearly). Staff are extremely knowledgeable of kratom/kava types, origin, trivia, etc. Felt very comfortable in their hands. JELLO SHOTS: Tasted as you'd expect! No hint of bitterness at all. NITRO LARGE (green kratom): HUGE. This is a STEIN. I split this with my partner and still struggled to finish it. Even unsweetened, this still tasted pretty inoffensive and light; like a bitter iced tea. I felt the effects only 5 mins later. According to the manager (owner?), they've only recently opened after taking over the previous business' space (another kava bar, surprisingly). Definitely recommend giving Pacific Dharma a shot.

However, for the sake of the patron, there's always room, as the few times I've been here its nearly empty. Product: the botanicals, aren't strong (a theme of the Orlando scene). If you're used to strong product, I recommend two largest. The con: hours! They don't exist. Absolutely no consistency! Within the last month and a half, I've been here 4x. Out of these 4x only twice were they open. I came in the evening around 7PM and a Monday at 3PM and theres no signs of life. For someone that doesn't live in the area, this is an inconvenience. Therefore, I can't recommend this business. Those that maybe new or visiting the area, there is Sodo Kava down the road from here.
