I have no idea how I haven't reviewed Achilles yet! If I'm looking for somewhere to chill, get my creative spark back, or catch up with a friend, this is my go-to. Achilles' crème brûlée chai is a drink I regularly crave, and their food is always so yummy. Plus, the people working the counter are so chill and sweet, so it's a wonderful, well-rounded experience! When you're parking, make sure you're not in a reserved spot. There is a lot to the side of the building I typically park in. If you go (which you should), grab your order, take a seat and enjoy the beautiful art and best use of fluorescent lighting I've ever seen read more

Achilles Art Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I was really looking forward to trying the food and coffee here, but unfortunately, the visit fell flat before it even started. I walked in around 10:30 AM and there was nobody at the counter to take orders. A few other customers and I waited around for about 10 minutes, but no staff ever showed up, and there was no sign posted explaining the absence or asking us to wait. The shop itself has a great theme and a really nice atmosphere, and the menu looked promising, but after waiting with no service in sight, I ended up walking out. Disappointing experience since I never got to taste anything. read more

Coming back to Achilles Art Café feels a little nostalgic for me--I've been visiting this coffee shop since my early college days back in 2012, when my classmates and I would meet at their original location to study, hang out, and survive exam season together. So seeing how the café has grown into this beautiful, larger MetroWest space honestly makes me smile. The upgrade in size and style is amazing, yet the quality and heart of the place remain exactly the same. The new space is spacious, cozy, and filled with character--from the whimsical European vibes to the eclectic artwork lining the walls. I love the mix of comfortable lounge chairs, soft sofas, and quiet corners, especially in the morning when the atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The staff has always been friendly throughout the years, and that hasn't changed either. Parking is super easy with plenty of space, and the location is convenient whether I'm stopping by before work or meeting a friend. As for the drinks, Achilles continues to deliver: Cortadito - still my go-to favorite, bold and smooth Crème Brûlée Chai Latte - warm and comforting Vanilla Latte - tasty but a touch sweet Banana Bread Latte - subtle and unique Caramel Macchiato - perfect for chilly mornings It's truly wonderful to see a local Orlando café evolve while keeping its soul. Achilles Art Café will always be one of those places that feels like home--old memories, new vibes, same great coffee. read more

What a really quaint place in Metro West. The outside patio has several different seating areas with umbrellas and plants. The inside is like walking into an art museum. They have art all over the walls. The inside also has separate seating areas which is nice. The food is delicious. We sat outside because the weather was lovely. You go to the counter to order and they give you a number to take to your table. The service was very friendly and attentive. read more

Awesome coffee shop in Metrowest. Very unassuming from the main street (Hiawassee). There's ample parking in the back and on the side. There are lots of comfortable seating indoor and outdoor. This local coffee shop is colorful, bright, quiet, and has great coffee and food. It's a good place for meeting friends, business meetings, studying, or working away from home. On Saturday it was pretty busy and it took a little longer than usual to get my latte. I didn't mind because I got to relax a bit and talked with a couple other patrons who were waiting on their coffees too. The two guys working there made sure everyone's coffee and food were delicious and were not rushed. Price is a little cheaper than Starbucks for way better coffee plus a cool ambiance full of art. read more

Two sandwiches took wayyyy too long. Too laid back if you want return to go business.

The ambiance and service was great! Got a breakfast sandwich and cook was super nice.

Place is super cool Barista wasn't friendly and he is the only one working here - he said chef helps sometimes .... But probably overwhelming He never said hi and when I said good afternoon he had a hard time answering GEEZ Nothing special about the coffee and no latte art. Luckily I only spent $5 on this read more

Love this place! I've been to the other location, but this one is quite big with a nice patio area. I love seeing all the art and they have a nice selection of board games as well. There are many different spots to sit at - couches, tall tables etc... The service is great as well! And they have different types of chai, which I love! I had the raspberry chai, it was so good! They also have a great selection of pastries. read more

A hidden gem. I had to rely on a friend to take me here. When you pull up the parking sucks. But there is plenty of parking further down. Also. It is surrounded by offices. But when you enter. The ambiance arrives in waves. Walls are surrounded by eclectic art and the ambiance is from the 70s. Food is delicious. And setting is so welcoming. Clearly a new favorite read more

Love this place, one of the most authentic places in the area. The owner Ash who's the nicest host ever has collected the art pieces from all over the Florida. It's a real eye candy for everyone. There are very nice selection of coffee, tea, wine and beer. We were pleasantly surprised which the food quality which also is made freshly in the back kitchen. You can even rent the place for your private event which we did few times and had great success. Empanadas and mushroom soup are all time favorites. read more

Achilles Art Cafe - One of the private event we had at the Achilles - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My husband's first comment about this place is that it reminded him of Central Perk from Friends. This coffee shop definitely has the vibe of the late 90s early 2000s coffee shops where you would just go to hang out and maybe the coffee is not super bougie but it's good and there's lots of tasty treats to sample! Both our coffees were too sweet but the lemon cake was fantastic. This is a great place to hang or do work, and the funky vibe is fun! read more

This is probably the 47th review that says that their lattes (especially their creme brulee chai lattes) are BOMB, but what can I say - they are. And this is probably the 57th review that says that the environment is super inviting/cozy, but what else can I say - that's exactly right. Ambiance: I think this is what my yoga instructor's, who has very good taste when it comes to interior design, living room would look like if she invited me to her place. Whoever decorated Achilles used lots of random but nice-looking furniture/items, which I guess would be considered under "eclectic interior design" - a type of interior design that blends different styles and motifs together to create a unique aesthetic, according to masterclass.com. This place gives me some cool mystical vibes. Drinks: we ordered the creme brulee chai latte and the lavender cappuccino with oat milk. Both felt like a warm hug. S2 Food: we had the caprese panini and the Achilles sandwich. I am of the (maybe minority here on Yelp?) opinion that 10 dollars is a lot for a sandwich but the flavors, size, and temperature were on point. Service: unfortunately, a bit slow. While their staff is super friendly and accommodating, the sandwiches took a long time to come despite the fact that there were no food orders prior to ours. Maybe a one time thing? I'll have to come back to find out. read more

I'm in love! As both avid coffee and arts lover, this is my new happy place. Let's talk about the coffee. I'm a fan of hot and the Mr. prefers his on the colder side. We were both extremely happy with our beverages. Often, one is happy, and the other ends up tolerating a mediocre cup of Joe. Not so here. Finally! There is seating galore, indoor and out. It holds several living room like spaces for a more intimate feeling. Tables of varied heights are scattered throughout. Televisions, music, and games are readily available if you desire more than the relaxing coffee shop vibes that are abundant here. I could go on and on all day about the varied things I like about this place. The ultra eclectic decor, friendly staff, and amazing coffee speak enough for themselves. If you haven't already, put this on your coffee shop list. It's on mine to stay. P.S. totally in love with the stained glass look of the lighting read more

Achilles Art Cafe - Snickers Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Achilles Art Cafe is a lovely cafe that offers all your favorite things and more from drip coffee to lattes (and infinite flavors - I recommend the butter beer!). They have a breakfast menu, but also serve lunch, dinner and everything in between. You can get comfy inside the cafe or sit out on their patio/veranda. The façade of the building is Tuscan like much of Veranda Park, but the inside is whimsical and eclectic with stained glass in the light fixtures and art on the walls. I love that Achilles ties in world elements all around the establishment. You can also find baked good from tarts to pies, cakes and other pastries in the case there. There is something for everyone - even a pool table. It never crossed my mind to stop in this place that is in my parents backyard and right where I grew up until I came to visit for the holidays and wanted to experience something new. It's worth it! Great service, great food, and a nice relaxed vibe. Definitely get the parmesan fries! read more

Cute quiet low key coffee shop and restaurant. We stopped for lunch. The back patio is super cute and comfy. Food was great.

Oh my stars! What a fun, relaxing and eclectic cafe. They have board games, painting groups in the back and happy hour menu. nice size spaces inside and out. airy outdoor area with couches and tables. You are welcomed when you pass the cashier/display area. You get so excited at all the yummy pastries and art that is on the wall to look at. It takes a minute to find what cozy area you want to relax in. They gave us instructions to find and space and I will bring you menu and when you are ready order at the counter. Love it! They served our breakfast and coffee to us. Love it! We were served our coffees from the barista. I got to pick out my coffee mug. Love it! The coffee was so flavorful and beautiful presentation. Listening to the welcome backs and hi to people coming in. This place is a hangout for locals getting together to meet over a cup of coffee to business meetings. . We were served our sandwiches from the chef. How lovely and then checked on later by another happy soul. The pressed sandwich was like a tropical Cuban because they added pineapple and grape jelly. Wow! The flavors married well together and very juicy it ran down your hand. That makes for a delicious sandwich. The portion size was so big only ate a half. So excited I get to have the other half tomorrow at home. The breakfast croissant sandwich had a lot of flavor from the sun-dried tomatoes and my choice of swiss cheese and bacon. Yummo! Well done! Bravo! read more
