Ham and cheese bagel

A very simple little French bakery situated right next to lake Eola. I loved how light and welcoming the atmosphere was. I highly recommend their Americano with oat milk, and peppermint syrup. The service was fast and very friendly. Visit today!

Place is so cute, coffee is amazing, food is amazing, service is amazing. Clean and friendly staff. We are visiting Orlando and went here both mornings to try some other stuff on the menu. Great experience! Dog friendly. Gave our dog a pup cup and a water bowl.

Fresh baked chocolate croissants
Katie D.

An incredible hidden gem in Thornton park! Adorable little spot with ample inside and outside seating. We loved the bacon, egg & cheese croissant and the club sandwich (10/10 fresh baked baguette). Delicious tea selection -- I enjoyed the hot green tea & my husband enjoyed the iced ginger peach tea. A delicious looking bakery case of sweet treats; we are obsessed with the fresh baked chocolate croissants. Service was friendly & speedy. Can't wait to come back with girlfriends for salads & a bottle of mimosas for brunch next time.

Stopped here for bfast before walking around Lake Eola. Nice little place in Thornton Park, nothing fancy. Some items are made fresh to order, others are premade in the bakery case. We had the ham and cheese bagel, and the egg, cheese, and spinach croissant. Both were made to order, hot and delish. We also had a coffee and a latte, both good. Service is pretty bare bones, you have to get your own utensils, etc and remove your plates and things when done. Lots of seating inside and a few tables outside as well.

Bagel and Cream Cheese

This French Bakery is a hidden gem tucked away in Thornton Park. I have been wanting to check this cafe out, and finally had the chance to. They have a variety of desserts in the display cases including crossiants, quiche, tarts, napoleons, and an assortment of Macarons. They have breakfast sandwiches and serve lunch as well as drinks including lattes, tea, hot chocolate etc. I had to get some Macarons. I got a raspberry and a dark chocolate Macaron. They were both soft with a nice cream like filling with a perfect crunchy yet cake like consistency. However, they were $3 each which I think is a bit absurd for one Macaron. I got a Pan Au Chocolate Crossiant. This was delicious, soft and fresh. I also got a bagel with cream cheese. I am a pretty harsh critic regarding bagels and this bagel was different than typical NY Jewish bagels, but still good! It was grilled with a panini press so it was soft and a bit crispy. The cream cheese was whipped, but still creamy. I will say the service was a bit slow, but the cafe was pretty busy with alot of people waiting and it was after an event at Lake Eola. All of the employees were extremely warm and friendly. I definitely want to come back and try some of the other desserts. It's a bit expensive, but a nice addition to the Thornton Park area!

The Benjamin French Bakery Cafe is a great place in Thornton Park to grab a coffee and maybe a bite to eat. The staff is friendly and I enjoyed sitting at a table outside and just watching life pass me by. Be advised that the prices are a little bit higher than what you might expect to pay, but it is in Thornton Park and they are not outrageously high priced. But it is a noticeable price difference. I came over here before taking a walk around Lake Eola park. It is definitely convenient to that Park and to the neighborhood surrounding it. If you are looking for a place to grab a coffee and something to eat, this is not a bad option. Again, it is not inexpensive, but that is to be expected in the downtown Orlando area, especially Thornton Park. Overall, I will give them four stars.

Quaint, cute, slightly romantic. Benjamin French Bakery gives off that vibe. Located in historical Thorton Park district of Orlando, this French Eatery is a fun find in an area full of the same. The French Bistro music transported me back to France. It is an Americanized French Bistro, with individual quiches instead of a full one. I had the Quiche Lorraine which although small was very good and just enough for a Sunday Morning. Also had the Salmon Bagel which was quite exceptional. I almost gave Benjamin French Bakery 4 stars, but that Salmon Bagel alone was worth the extra star. It was the highlight of the morning meal. Only one hiccup, made the mistake of ordering a Mango smoothie. It was absolute horrible. Mostly sugar with a hint of Mango. Remonded me of baby food from the 80s. Just not good at all. I sent it back and they exchanged it for a French coffee which was quite good. This was a really great experience.

Delice Du Sud Quiche
Monicalyn M.

Thornton Park is one of my favorite Orlando communities, and Benjamin sits right in its heart. Guys, this place is the sweetest; if you prefer sweet or savory, you are in for a treat. They freshly squeeze their orange juice! Worth the stop for breakfast or lunch; besides the great food, the countertop and outdoor seating make for great people-watching views. Try the Delice Du Sud Quiche, it hits every time!

Little fruit tart

The desserts were all so delicious and very cute looking. The staff were all very sweet and patient with us. Ambience is very calm, but bright. Cute little French bakery if you are in the area.

I had a Groupon for here and finally decided to try it out. We started with the blueberry croissant which is filled with vanilla cream which was delicious. My husband had the build your own crepe with chicken, mushrooms and goat cheese. There was plenty of chicken, but it was a little dry. I had the St. Tropez sandwich, salmon, cream cheese and greens on a baguette. The sandwich was very filling. If we are back in the area we will return.

Cappuccino and a warm croissant
Ftl S.

My first time here. I'm living the vibe here. I was greeted by Zoe with a warm and freshly smile. I had a delicious cappuccino and a fresh warm croissant. Yummy!!! Come and enjoy Benjamin's French Bakery! Bon appétit

How's the parking situation?

Parking is typical for the business area of Thornton Park / Washington Street. If you do not find something on the street, there is a garage just the other side of Summerlin.

Do they still make cronuts?

No they do not

I also enjoyed the matcha with lavender, if you are on the sweet side of things, I recommend asking for it be sweeten. The place is a great space to relax, study, or hang out. The inside design of the space is beautiful and the black and white flower paintings on the walls adds a great touch to the space. The server was kind and asked after if my items were up to standard, and everything tasted great to me. *Not pictured I ordered one baklava from the bakery there and the phone did not eat first, it was great and bite sized and I'll try to get a pic next time. I plan to come back to try new items but overall great experience.

First as soon as you go through the door you can tell this is a place that cares about your experience. Brightly lit and beautifully decorated, everyone that was there seemed very relaxed as if they had checked their stress at the door, event though some seemed to be working. After being thoroughly tempted by the large selection of treats, my wife locked in on her pistachio selections which she loved. The cheesecake was sweet and creamy and the late was just the right amount of sweet with a silky texture. I asked for the Turkish experience, i may have sounded a bit ignorant, but they kindly humored me. As you can tell by the pictures I fell in love with the presentation, the tray, the cup the details all of it. Then came the tasting. The warm bitterness of the hits first with the warm, perfect for a black coffee lover like me, then as you breathe out you feel the aromatic flavor of the cardamom. It may take a couple of sips to appreciate it but it is fantastic. The fruit tart had a very pleasing texture, crunchy crust and moist creamy tart top. great compliment to the coffee. It is a unique experience that we will definitely revisit.

It's the vegan version of their Mojo, and I was impressed with the creaminess and flavor of the vegan sweetened condensed milk. I also got the lil' sumthing breakfast wrap.

Bright, clean, and dialed in with pastries that actually look as good as they photograph. You walk in thinking you'll make a quick, responsible choice. Two minutes later you're staring at the case like you're drafting a fantasy team. We went with the cream puff and that was the right move. Light, airy, not overly sweet, and gone in about three bites flat. No notes. Tried the crème brûlée pastry too. Points for creativity all day. It's a cool concept and well executed, just didn't hit the same level as the cream puff. Still good, just not the headliner. And the iced tea deserves a mention. Strong. Like, actually strong. Not the watered-down afterthought you get at most spots. This one shows up with purpose. Overall, easy four stars. Fun stop, great vibe, and a menu that keeps things interesting without trying too hard. Just don't kid yourself into thinking you're only ordering one thing. That plan falls apart immediately.
