Banana bread latte
Elyse C.

Looking for a delicious and cute Starbucks alternative? You got it. The staff (believe it was one of the owners actually) was nice, took his time to explain the differences in drinks and help us choose ones to fit what we wanted. 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!

Super friendly & aesthetic cafe! They make all their syrups in house & their banana bread syrup was a 10/10! So happy to have stumbled upon this coffee shop. Highly recommend their maple banana bread latte.

From the moment you walk in you are welcomed by the sweetest owner. He truly makes you feel very welcomed. The staff also is so sweet. The decor is very pretty, we loved the contrast of the pink and black. You can really tell they took time to decorate and put thought into this place. We ordered 2 tembleque lattes and a blue charge smoothie. The coffees were amazing! They truly do taste like the puerto rican dessert. My son loved his smoothie, he said its very refreshing. We also ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and a breakfast croissant. Both came with some chips. Both my son a partner said they were good. They offer a wide variety of drinks and small bites you can get with your drink. We loved our visit here and would love to return once we come back to this area.

This was such a pleasant surprise! Such a cute Christian based coffee shop. They have scripture and cute decor all over the place. The matcha latte was amazing and they have plenty of syrups to choose from. The service takes a bit because everything is really made from scratch but nothing more than a 10 minute wait.

Flan Latte

We were looking for a coffee shop with great coffee & breakfast sandwiches while in Orlando. We found this hidden gem & it was absolutely perfect! As soon as you walk in it feels clean, cozy and great atmosphere. I'm not usually a iced coffee person, so I ordered the oat milk latte and it was made perfectly! Perfect amount of coffee.. We also order the Flan Latte and that tasted like an actual flan!! The cashier was very helpful waking us through their menu offerings, helping us decide. Everyone that entered was greeted with kindness. We'd definitely visit again

Breakfast Wrap
Naillil S.

You know this is my go-to place for matcha and coffee. They just dropped a summer menu and I had to get the piña colada super refreshing and perfectly balanced matcha. My only tiny problem was I wished it came with more ice since it came a bit room temperature but that's all. The breakfast wrap also new was a win too loved the spicy kick from the chipotle aioli

Dubai Chocolate Latte
Gab R.

Absolutely Obsessed! I've been to But First, Coffee three times already in the last week and each visit has been a delightful experience. This small business truly stands out with its delicious and unique coffee creations, friendly staff, and engaging owners who go above and beyond for their customers. On my first visit, I had the Dubai latte. (10/10) My 2nd visit I had the Flan Latter & a guava & queso pastry. (12/10) On my 3rd visit, the owner personally made me a special request lavender matcha that wasn't even on the menu. She even put a few special touches on it for me. (such a thoughtful touch!) Each time, I've made small special requests (including asking them to cut my pastry into bite-sized pieces so I don't smudge my lipstick. (ridiculous, I know), but they did it without hesitation!) Their attention to detail and customer care is unmatched. The atmosphere is posh, viby, and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax or get some work done. If you're looking for a high-end coffee experience with a personal touch, this is the place to be. Can't wait for my next visit!

This coffee shop is so cute and has so many delicious drink options. I loved the cookie butter latte and definitely want to go back to try more. The staff were super friendly and helpful in the decision I made. I will definitely be back to try more drinks.

Happy Veterans Day! Today I'm off and had a few appointments, so I decided to finally try this coffee truck I've been seeing all over my TikTok! But First, Coffee has a brick-and-mortar location near the Florida Mall, but I visited their truck located in Lake Nona. I ordered the Cookie Butter Latte with oat milk, and it was pretty good! You can check out my live reaction video on TikTok and YouTube under Justlifeofinez if you'd like to see my full review. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars the flavor was delicious and cozy, but I personally would've liked it just a bit sweeter. Still, it's a great fall-inspired drink that I really enjoyed. It's a bit pricey so keep that in mind. Will I be back? Yes when I'm on that side of town!

Fall Menu
Melisa F.

This was my first time visiting But First Coffee Shop. I was in the area and decided to stop in. The shop is decorated with fall accents and features religious and coffee references throughout the shop. The shop felt inviting and the staff was too. I was welcomed and greeted upon entering. As I waited for my turn, I found the coffees, teas, and food menus each on their own clipboards on the counter. I decided on trying the Spanish Latte. I also grabbed an Overnight Blueberry Granola cup from a cooler near the register. When it was my turn to order, I approached the register. I just happened to look down on the counter and found a fall menu that was also attached to a clipboard. I looked over the menu and decided to instead get the Pumpkin Flan coffee. While I was waiting for my order, I was advised that they were out of pumpkin. I was disappointed because I love pumpkin and flan! reverted back to the Spanish Latte. The drink was prepared and I was on my way soon after. It was still a good option. The Spanish Latte was delicious. It was flavorful and not too sweet. The Overnight Blueberry Granola cup was also good. The blueberries and granola were fresh. The oats also had a good flavor. It was well put together and was filling. I would return to But First Coffee Shop if in the area. I just hope next time they have pumpkin.

Cookie butter latte
Lauren H.

Nothing but good things to say about this coffee shop! The staff was so nice as I had some questions for my first time visiting, and the gentleman behind the counter was so helpful! The cookie butter latte is a must! It was crazy delicious! So was the ham and Swiss croissant! There are so many other lattes and foods to try so I cannot wait to return. The shop felt so cozy and had amazing vibes. It was a place where you could sit and work for a while and feel comfortable.

Exterior
Quinette L.

This is more than just a coffee shop, this is a safe and healthy space! This is a carefully curated space full of integrity and attention to detail for the mind, body and soul. I was searching for a tea shop and discovered this beautiful coffee shop. After further investigation, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they offered an array of Matcha options and even açaí bowls. For these reasons, I had to check it out! When I arrived, I was impressed with how inviting and informative the exterior of the building looked, and the interior decor was even better. The playlist was full of positive and uplifting songs. The walls affirmed you with positive messaging and the seating was warm and welcoming. The service was equally exceptional. Sergio was very helpful and knowledgeable, offering facts about Matcha and his personal recommendations. Finally, the product! What I liked most about the experience was being able to have a classic cup of Matcha that was organic and ceremonial grade. Not to mention that, it was served in a classic paper cup that was not lined with plastic; which is very hard to find most coffee shops. The level of care and attention to detail is what sets this coffee shop apart from the rest. 'Seek First..' Coffee Shop truly offers a safe space for those of us who care about the wellbeing of our mind, bodies and spirits.

Iced cookie butter lover
Christina C.

This place has now changed its name to "Seek First" but the quality of the coffee is still just as good! I was on a time crunch at work so I ordered some coffee to be delivered for a nice pick me up in the morning! I got an iced cookie butter latte which is honestly everything I could ever want in a latte lol. The cold foam that comes with it adds to the delectable creaminess of it that goes so well with the flavor and the biscoff crumbles on top! This order was made super quick and was brought to me before I knew it! I really forgot how much I missed this place, so I'll definitely be going more often!

I originally ordered sausage, egg, and cheese, but then I saw the bacon, egg, and cheese and asked whether I could switch it. The gentleman behind the counter said they could do both, then asked whether I wanted to add a hash brown too. Obviously, I said yes. He told me they would make basically anything I wanted as long as they had the ingredients, and I absolutely loved that energy. The sandwich was huge, super cheesy, messy in the best way, and packed with sausage, bacon, egg, and a crispy hash brown. It was a very generous portion and completely worth the price. This is definitely going into my breakfast-sandwich rotation. My fiancé ordered the Godfather, which was also delicious. It is definitely on the messier side, though, so if you are getting it to go or traveling any distance, I would recommend asking for the vinaigrette on the side. Ray's has strong neighborhood bodega vibes, generous portions, and the kind of menu where they are willing to customize your order instead of making things complicated. My only minor critique is that one employee could have been a little friendlier, but everyone else made the experience enjoyable. Another great visit, and we will absolutely be back.

They're an Orlando staple and there's a reason why locals love them. It's drive-thru only with some outdoor patio seating, but if you're like me, you just pull into a random parking lot after and chow down in your car in the A/C. These taco may be small, but they are packed with protein. They have very simple ingredients - corn tortillas (doubled up), a single protein, diced onions, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and their salsa verde on the side. This time I got the carne asada, chorizo, and al pastor tacos. 3 tacos absolutely fills me up. The chorizo and al pastor tacos (both pork) were amazing. I was not impressed by the carne asada during my last visit. It was very dry and lacked seasoning. The other two hit the spot though and I'll still keep coming back for more.

And oh my--the portions are incredible! You absolutely cannot leave here hungry, and you'll almost certainly be leaving with leftovers. I'd never heard of Tartini before, but my family came across it by word of mouth. We don't live nearby, but we were excited to make the drive, and it was absolutely worthwhile. We ordered so many dishes, and each one was better than the last! Keep in mind that these are family-style portions meant for sharing, so we were floored when the plates hit the table. They were MASSIVE! My parents shared a chicken parm that was probably enough to feed four. I ordered one of my Italian favorites: carbonara. It was absolutely reminiscent of the dish I had in Italy and was prepared traditionally--no cream, just egg yolk and Parmesan. I loved it. Though, admittedly, I barely made a dent in it! Plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day, which is hardly a bad thing. One of my favorite things about Tartini is that they'll let you split a pizza. We were going back and forth trying to decide which pie to order when our waitress saved us from further debate and suggested a split pie. Most places would never allow this, so I really appreciated the flexibility. We tried the Margherita and Italiano, and I'm hard-pressed to pick a favorite. Honestly, they were both fantastic, and I can't imagine any of their other pies being anything less. The sauce had just a touch of sweetness, which I love. And what can I say? I genuinely have no notes. The mussels marinara came in a delicious, slightly spicy sauce. The Caesar salad was perfectly balanced. The restaurant was packed, and for good reason. Well-deserved success at Tartini. Make a reservation and prepare to be wowed! PS- Leave room for dessert! Most are made in house!

I should note that I was by myself, and that was not a problem (some places might not do it just for one person), but it really is an experience that a group would enjoy taking in. It was so tasty that I regretted ordering chicken to mix in with it. My recommendation is to just get the pasta without any add-ons. I also got a chocolate lava cake that was very tasty. I think they are very proud of their pizza, and there were groups having an absolute blast with their pizza orders. The cheese wheel dish ("Pasta Alla Ruota" on the menu) is a premium-priced treat, but it really looks like they have a lot of good offerings. I knocked a point off because the chicken add-on that I ordered was really not good, plus also I tried to find out more about the cheese they used and no one knew anything other than "we order it". But hey, I'm still definitely recommending a visit if you're in town and want a lively Italian restaurant experience.

Service was upbeat and patient even though the line kept moving. The staff did a nice job guiding first-timers through the menu and explaining the bakery items and drinks. I ordered: - Iced chai latte: honestly disappointing, it was not very rich or spiced and tasted a bit watered down - Empanada de carne (beef): hot, savory, and well-seasoned with a satisfying flaky crust - Hawaiian croissant (ham, white cheese, fresh pineapple): surprisingly good sweet and savory combo that worked better than expected I love how addicting and well the salsa de ajo pairs with the hot bites! The food overall was fresh and comforting, especially the baked items and savory bites. The chai just did not match the level of everything else. The vibe works for both grab-and-go and sitting down to linger. You can easily pop in for a quick bite or settle into a table and take your time with coffee and pastries. Prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes and variety. Parking was easy in the small lot when I went, though it could get tight during peak hours. Great for anyone who loves Latin bakery classics and savory comfort food. I would come back for the food, just not the chai.

Going forward, I'll probably check who's making the smoothie before ordering because if it's her, I'll unfortunately pass.
