Well balanced flavors and textures. Our server Justin was very attentive and helpful the entire night. He helped us decide everything from drinks and appetizers to entrees and desserts. He was very knowledgeable, descriptive, and accurate on his recommendations. The ambiance is perfect for a date night, drinks with friends, or any event really. They have lots of tables, a large bar, and even a private area if you have the need for it. We got two mocktails because we were participating in dry January. I got the passion fruit Boat Drinks and my wife got the Hibiscus Nojito. Both drinks were really good! To start we got the French Onion soup and the Pig and the Bee flatbread. Both were really tasty. The French Onion soup was nicely balanced with the perfect amount of cheese on top. Next time we'll ask for more croutons. The flatbread was delicious!! It was the thinnest, crispiest flatbread I've ever had with the right amount of toppings. The salty and savory meats with the drizzle of hot honey was perfect. For entrees my wife got the Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Shrimp and I got the Staff Meal which happened to be a Chicken and Bacon carbonara...the gnocchi was incredible. The textures and flavors were amazing. The carbonara was really good too but the gnocchi stole the show. For dessert we got a latte and a cappuccino and got the Cherry Cobbler to go. I reheated the cobbler in a ramekin in my air fryer, it was so delicious!! We will definitely be back!

The fries were just as impressive--crispy, well-seasoned, and the perfect side to go with the burger. I paired it with a smoked Old Fashioned, which is my go-to cocktail, and they nailed it. Smooth, balanced, and that subtle smoky finish really elevated the whole experience. If you're in the Lake Mary area, BOCA is definitely worth checking out.

The eggs were cheesy and perfectly cooked not dry at all! The fresh bread was incredible, and dipping it into the ezme was a must have choice. I also had the Turkish tea and coffee, both of which were rich, and spot on. Vibes: Relaxed and cozy, great for small to medium sized groups. It does get busy, and since you pick your own table, it can be a little tricky if you're coming with a larger group. But overall the atmosphere is warm, welcoming and perfect for a chill breakfast. Service: Excellent! Our waitress gave phenomenal recommendations. I usually ask the staff what their favorites are, and she delivered everything she suggested was a hit for me and my friends.

Today, when I received my usual steak and eggs, the portion of everything on the plate was obviously smaller. The menu states two eggs; I may have had 1 and a half medium-sized eggs at best. When bringing this to my server's attention, she spoke to me like I was 10. She made mention that the owner was cutting back in order not to raise prices, although she stated it in an extremely condescending way! The food has always been quite good and what most would consider a good value. Maybe the cook was having an off day? I certainly did not do anything to make him mad!...... We'll see how things go next time, If not better, I will be moving on.

They have specials on Monday and Thursday which sounded yummy and at good value. We got classic breakfast fare and pretty much everything was amazing. The only thing that did not WOW us was the biscuit, a little dry and dense but still okay. I would highly recommend the sausage links. They were good quality, juicy, and crispy. The pancakes and French toast were also delicious. They are not crispy but very buttery, soft, flavorful. So if you like that kind of pancake/french toast, this place is your jam. Will definitely be coming back again. We were pleasantly surprised about the prices and the service was amazing too. Jen was our server.

I really enjoy her recommendations since it's never paid and just honest journalism. I think more Orlando influencers need to just be honest about what is good and what isn't good, rather than trying to sign everything expensive and trendy as such. Also I think when promoting things, people should practice discernment and ethics. I went there during my lunch hour and even walked there. I love it when cities are made to be walkable. It was a bit too hot, but city girl do what she gotta. I met a friend for lunch there. It's inside of a bank building. The staff was nice and it is an order and sit down situation where they bring it to you after you order. I got the honey lavender corn muffin and the Pig-Wich. First, the honey lavender corn muffin was insanely delicious. I still think about it. It's a nice dense and thick muffin that has a whipped corn honey lavender muffin. The sweetness of the topping and the crumb texture of the muffin made for a very nice bite. My rating is a 10/10 for this muffin. It cost $4. The sandwich is a breakfast sandwich with duroc bacon, egg that they'll make how you want it, cheddar, spinach, tomato, and garlic aioli on a brioche bun. I requested scrambled, just because as much as I like a sunny side up egg, it does make eating messy. This sandwich was a 9/10. It was delicious, well made, and easy hand held. Best part, it only cost me $10. Overall, I would rate them as a 9/10. I think what I got was great but there are other items that are a little pricey. However, if you're a downtown Orlando person and you work or live here. I highly recommend.

The bowl was a good portion but I feel the carnitas needed a little more flavor and maybe some extra toppings. I also got a side salad which I truly enjoyed since it wasn't an iceberg lettuce salad. This one had spinach, arugula and other leafy greens. They have breakfast and lunch all day. I need to try something else next time. It is a cute place, I definitely be back.

Harvest Hash: worked well together and the over easy eggs were good. Bacon and Butternut Frittata: the Butternut squash flavor comes out well Cinnamon Roll French Toast: we ate this as dessert, in hindsight, should have asked for this last in order to have it warm Lobster brie omelette: perhaps the best dish - decadent and softly cooked. I wonder if the cream cheese filling would have been too much if I only had this Cajun shrimp omelette: the shrimp and crayfish gave it a lot of flavor but the omelette was overcooked. The biscuits (sub for muffin) were really good - crispy exterior and soft interior - while being buttery. The potatoes were okay and the grits were flavorless although I had declined the cheese, I shouldn't have perhaps.
