A coworker and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat today. As many other reviewers have mentioned, the interior aesthetic is attractive and very cute. There are plenty of places to take cute Instagram pictures. However, that does not help the overall score of the rest of the experience. When we first arrived, we were instructed to review the menu at a seat-yourself station and then return to the front to place our order. There were some interesting and tasty-looking options to pick from. Unfortunately, I was a bit perplexed by the pricing on the menu versus what came up on the cash register. I ordered the Mixed Berries Crepes with Nutella ($11), and I was going to order a Strawberry Boba for $5, but instead my total was nearing $25 dollars?? The pricing did not match the menu. The cash register didn't seem very friendly. When I noticed my crepe read "Banana/Strawberry" instead of Mixed Berry. I clarified I was getting the correct order. She told me, "Yes, yes." (Spoil alert: I did not get the mixed berries but instead a Strawberry and Banana Crepe...) I paid, and then took the little marker flag with a number they give you so the waitresses can find the correct table to deliver the orders to. My coworker and I waited in the back for our orders. Although we ordered back-to-back, the orders were fulfilled at different intervals. When my order finally arrived, the waitress was looking for the right table to deliver it to. I raised my hand and said it was my order. She looked at me with scrutiny as if I were lying to her. ( What was the point of the flag marker with the number then, if you're uncertain of the order???) My crepe was pretty, but overall, it was okay in flavor and taste. It wasn't very hot, though, and was lukewarm. I would give the crepe a 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't anything I'd come running back for. The staff wasn't the friendliest and seemed confused and disorganized. I would not come back here again. Read the prior low reviews, as most of the complaints others have had with this establishment seem to be a running occurrence. read more

Came here while waiting for an event to start. The service was not great. The waitresses looked like they did not know what they were doing. They gave you a number for your order for the table but when they bring out your food, they were searching by individual people by asking who ordered what. The ambiance is nice but i have allergies and mold sensitivity and my eyes started getting irradiated. The food was okay not greasy. I had the side of eggs with turkey bacon and toast. Overall It was an okay experience but a little chaotic. read more

Came here with a client for a quick coffee meeting. Little confused on whether you sit and they serve, or you order and then sit... it was awkward. I felt my questions weren't heard correctly, very much a language barrier there. I did my best to be patient and simplify, but i felt like i was being rude in doing that, so i just settled and ordered from a picture instead of what i wanted. The coffee was fine, the croissant was good. Minimal service once you sit down and get your order. The place i wanted to go was closed.. so we settled, and Im kind of bummed it wasn't better. Hope you have a better experience than me. read more

Cute little cafe with a lot of potential. The food was disappointing. Service was slow. There were three of us and the food all came out at different times. Menu was out of date and waitress waited until we ordered to let us know the prices would be higher. Plus there was a local service fee we were not told about in advance. read more

Cariño's Cafe - Broccoli and bacon baked potato - Cafes Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

First time trying this restaurant. We were a party of 3 for lunch. The good: decorated really cute, and really good air conditioning. The bad: after ordering, our server told us that the menus were out of date and the prices had gone up. She was unable to tell us which items had gone up and by how much. I ordered a grilled cheese and my companions ordered a baked potato and a pita pizza. We all ordered specialty teas. Within 5 minutes all drinks were delivered, along with our friend's baked potato. We thought the rest of the food would be coming shortly, but no. After 15 minutes of staring at my friend's potato, my grilled cheese came out, then a server tried to bring us meals which were not ours. After 5 more minutes, the pizza was delivered. Now the baked potato is beyond cold and I really don't know why they delivered it with the drinks, as if it were an appetizer. I really didn't think anyone could get a grilled cheese wrong but this place did. A slice of semi-melted American cheese on a huge soft bun. Grilled cheese on a bun! To make it worse the bun was doughy and yeasty tasting. The hibiscus tea I ordered was so sweet my teeth hurt. I had to ask for a cup of ice to water it down. When we were ready to pay, the server came over with her little machine and started telling us the total. I said that I needed to see an itemized receipt as she had told us that the prices had gone up. The receipt included a service charge of 5% (that wasn't on the menu and that I wouldn't have known about if I had not asked for an itemized receipt. When questioned the server said it was a downtown fee and that all the restaurants downtown charge it. We ate downtown last week and there was no such fee. In summary, it was disappointing food, confusing prices and poor service. I would not recommend read more

The worst customer service I've experienced in some time. Out of the six servers only one could communicate with us. He was the only one that spoke English. After our food was served no one came to check in with us. I called out for one of them to come over because we needed napkins. Before he came over he turned back to see if someone else could help us. When he saw that there was no one, he came to help. That was it. For the rest of our stay no one else came over to ask if we needed anything or how was everything. Nothing! On the brighter side, the food was tasty and the latte was delicious. It's a great place to sit and chill over coffee or one of their many alcoholic beverages. The ascetics are beautiful. It's a great place to capture pictures for Yelp or The Gram. read more

CUIDADO CON LOS PRECIOS! Fui muy contenta a probar el café. Me cobraron precios diferentes a la hora de pagar. Los precios en el menú son menos. Yo pedí 2 Ice Coffees 16oz que claramente en el menú son $4.95 luego al pagar me los cobraron a $5.95 cada uno. Cuando le hice el reclamo el muchacho a cargo me dijo que los precios cambiaron y no aparecen en el menú que está disponible, solo en su sistema. Luego la muchacha que me cobró me dijo que se disculpaba por no advertirme antes sobre la diferencia en precios, esperando que yo estuviera conforme con simplemente una explicación. Muy conveniente para ellos verdad? Al pedirles que arreglaran su error se tomaron su BUENNNN tiempo para la devolución de la diferencia. Esta era mi primera vez y claramente mi última. A mi esposo le hicieron exactamente lo mismo días antes y no lo sabía. VERIFIQUEN BIEN SU RECIBO. read more

Despite the bad reviews, I'm actually leaving a good review considering the food I purchased. I had a large hot latte and my hubby had a large cappuccino and they were honestly pretty good. As a coffee lover, I cannot complain. My hubby also had a breakfast croissant with egg, cheese and bacon and it was actually good as well. The ambience of the place is nice. They have outside seating which makes you feel a little bit like if you were in San Juan, PR and inside, it's more of a vintage look with good music playing: Frank Sinatra. Overall, good place to have coffee and croissant. read more

I always like to start off with the good. The cafe was really pretty and decorated nicely. I loved the vibes and the Puerto Rico feeling. The frappe was also really good! Now to start off with the food, I only liked the toast. Me and my husband were not fans of the food at all. The eggs texture was really soft and felt weird to us. The French toast sticks tasted like the ones we buy at the freezer section at Walmart for our kids. The bacon tasted ok , tater tots were fine but also tasted as if we could just toss them in our air fryer. The prices weren't all that great. The service was definitely mid, they took forever to come to the table for our order when the cafe was empty and they didn't even really check back on us. Wouldn't be coming back read more

This local spot has too much local competition. With this said. Cariños it's trying to be on its own beat. Making things their way. It's refreshing. Still room for growth it's definitely present. We came in on a Saturday night, while the other local spots were surplus, Cariños was decently occupied. Live music and singing show. This was the highlight of the night. The reason I just bumped this review from one to two stars. Ordered drinks. The food does not look appealing or appetizing. But they had so many options on the menu. Would love to see more items before ordering. Maybe a photo session of all your dishes? Either who. The prices are in high class of their own as well. Imported Bottle beer running 6$. On the high end. Cuba libre was made nicely. Can't knock it out until I see more. I hope the owners or management can take the constructive criticism and use it toward their own benefit. There is so much potential in this location. Jan C. read more

So the atmosphere is beautiful. They lack of attention when it comes to service. I ordered a strawberry banana crepe . It was a bland, dry folded crepe with cuts of strawberries and bananas on top. No glaze, no filling, no cream... nothing; just placed on top of a crêpe. Something I could have done in my house. read more

In the heart of Downtown Kissimmee, this place opened up about 2 months ago, and I love it! The customer service is great; everyone is super friendly, especially Joyce, which is very knowledgeable about the place. Whether you're in the mood for coffee, boba tea, a quick bite, dessert, or for breakfast, sit down & relax inside or in their outdoor patio; this is the place to go. OPEN ON SUNDAYS!!!! Live Music Fridays & Saturdays after 6 pm. Sundays they will start playing music from 2 pm to 5 pm. Check their Instagram for select dates. New personal favorite! read more

We wanted to sit outside but it was kind of breezy and just finished raining so we decided to sit inside which was nice and cozy and very cute decor on the inside !

The prices on the menu are much lower than what they actually charge. They said "the menu was old". We offered to pay what the menu said and they refused and were going to call the police. We had a train to catch so we paid with a credit card and disputed it. They ruled in our favor! The service was lousy and the food was mediocre! read more

In the middle of downtown Kissimmee, Carinos Cafe is a cute little spot. The interior is very warm and the staff seem friendly. We were walking past when we saw their sign for boba and decided to try some. I ordered an avocado bubble tea but unfortunately it just wasn't that good. The drink pretty much just tasted like sugar with little to no hint of avocado. The boba was not chewy and soft like it should be. It's a shame as it seems like a great place to hang out, relax, or study. Maybe their other offerings taste better but from what I tried, it just isn't worth it. read more

Customer service is great. Friendly staff. Sadly it was disappointing still. The food and drinks are so expensive and the quality is so low. I ordered: 1 latte, 1 cappuccino (that was made like a late), crazy fries and a croissant; total cost: $40 including 18% tip. The fries are priced at $13 with a choice of protein on top, and they are not even of good quality. Shoestring frozen fries with a lot of Mayo, ketchup sour cream and (taste like fake) cheese whiz sauce. The chives were dried out, not even fresh and the chicken lacked seasoning. I was looking forward to the coffee but that also was a let down. The quality of the beans was old and the espresso itself was watered down. The place is decorated super cute and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor sitting. Maybe the items I got are not their specialty but, I honestly won't return to try anything else due to the high price. read more

First time going to this cafe. You order at the host stand as soon as you walk in. I ordered a large french vanilla latte and the waffles with banana, strawberry nutella. I paid about $24 ... pricing is a bit high. You enter the dining room with the number they give you; they bring the food to you. The scenery is so nice and aesthetic. Really cozy. I waited about 15 minutes and got my food. They asked if I wanted the latte with my food and I said yes. But they gave me the food without the latte. Waited about 3 more minutes for the latte. The waffles itself tasted bland but with the toppings and syrup, it was tasty. The latte wasnt sweet at all. It was still drinkable but not enough milk or sweetener. The coffee itself is different and strong. A good different. read more

I really was trying to give this café a second chance the first time I ordered breakfast and it was horrible microwavable breakfast and then today I decided to get a chicken sandwich on French bread. It was disgusting. The bread tasted like Play-Doh. I couldn't even find the chicken. There was more lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese barely any chicken. If you're thinking of finding a place to eat, don't go here! Also the pricing on the menu is very different from what they charge you. read more

Wow, when I say disgusting I mean it. The baked potato was awful. Do not recommend that at all. The bubble tea was good though. Only recommend coming for drinks not food. My boyfriend got the chicken sandwich guys it was 1 slice of thin turkey on a small piece of bread!! Not chicken! Subway puts more meat than that! Probably won't ever come back read more

Discovered this little gem on a walkabout in Kissimmee. Picturesque, quaint and comfy vibes. Choosing what to try was a challenge because everything looked so good. Opted for a grilled cheese - come on! It's a classic, who can resist! Followed by strawberry, Nutella crepe - of course with whipped crème! Coffee was delicious and served piping hot -extra points for that - seems like forever since I was able to enjoy a hot hot cuppa. Service was good. Can't wait to go back to try some of the other goodies! read more

Unfortunately stumbled upon this cafe without reading reviews first, which was my first mistake. My boyfriend ordered a cappuccino, and I ordered a mango smoothie. The "fruit" smoothie is advertised as having mango and pineapple in it, but they fail to mention that it's flavored syrup, and in fact, no fruit is in it. Simply ice and syrup blended together. When handed the smoothie, it had no lid (I had to ask for one) and upon checkout, I was charged for 2 cappuccinos.... Maybe a language barrier? Overall, a bad experience and I'd shy away if you're in the area. read more

The service was really bad and terrible food, i would not recommend. It is very nice inside, we thought we would have a good time but from the front door the cashier was very rude and did not even give us a menu and just asked to scanned and figure out what to order, but other people were given menus. I ve ordered a breakfast croissant with ham and asked to cook the egg, they brought me a croissant with bacon and litteraly RAW eggs after a lot of back and forth they brought me the ham on the side My girlfriend had to wait over 20 mnts for a basic carino breakfast with 2 uncooked fried eggs and some hasbrown This place is really overpriced and the experience is not up to the cost. The food is bland and cold like microwaved food, please do yourself a favor and make breakfast at home read more

The service was ok (1/2 good thing). The ambiance outside was really nice, they had someone playing the cello (2/2). That was it that's the good part. They couldn't take a group order with separate bills & and had to go back-and-forth after each person ordered. The food was terrible. My friends and I saw the reviews but we still decided to see ourselves. In the end, we wasted our money. I ordered the Warm Stuffed Crepe (Strawberry / Banana / Nutella / Whip Cream), calamari, Breakfast Croissant (with bacon), and alcoholic piña colada, strawberry milk tea with tapioca (frozen) The calamari was the only one that had taste and a nice flavor. The crepes had no taste (neither sweet, or savory) I could only taste the Nutella and fruits. The croissant was mid, not the best thing I've ever tasted, but also not the worst. The piña colada tasted like water and had no alcohol. The strawberry milk tea that I wanted frozen, came out with ice cubes and tasted like nesquik strawberry powder. On top of that, the Boba came in chunks, they were all stuck together in clumps. I've learned my lesson, there's a reason why one star reviews are made, I wish I did not waste my money here. read more

Have you ever seen a boba tea with no boba? We'll, I've seen that today. That's the picture I took right before I tossed the drink in the trash unfortunately. To be fair, the staff are really nice but they can't understand what I'm ordering because they don't speak English. When I found that they have no clue what I'm asking about, I said, there has to be at least one person in this cafe who speaks English' absolutely no one speaks English. I ordered strawberry boba tea thinking that I'll get the boba at no additional charge but instead they didn't even add boba and they added 60 cents for the strawberry flavor !!! ( although it's called strawberry boba tea) And $1 for ice !!! I ended up with $7 drink that tastes terrible. If anybody explained to me how would I end up with this order, I was not gonna order it. My husband told me that I was supposed to leave the drink and not pay for it since their pricing is not reasonable but I felt bad for the workers. They were doing their best and it's not their fault that they don't speak English. So if you ever go there make sure you order a simple item on the menu, point at it for them, don't speak. Or take someone with you who can speak Spanish. read more

Ohh where to begin,.. only reason this place gets 1 star is because zero is not an option, but let's start with the pros! The decor and theme is very nice and cool, I wanted so bad to have my girlfriend and I first experience there to be amazing enough to come back! But oh no no no, God forbid there's "good customer service" there to exist because who wants that right? THEY DO, clearly because from moment we got in, there's no such thing as welcoming nor greetings, we asked if it's open seating and they told us, we order at the cashier and then go to our table,.. well we got in line and as we already decided what we wanted to order, we simply glanced at menu in case we wanted something else, but they skipped us and attended the customers behind us?! Like hello we were next. Next thing we sit down outside and they brought our food 10 mins apart, and no condiments for coffee and food, had to go inside on 3 different times. Then turns out my food was the frozen special out of Publix aisle 15 fridge because it was cold!!! We brought it to their attention and no apologies nor options to resolve the issue. Just a simple "oh it's frozen? Here let me take it"... and I'm like wait , you just can't take that and not offer apologies nor options ,.. like sweeping under a rug and carry on? We then got inside and asked to speak to the mananager which to our surprise, the "kid" who skipped us from our intro to the restaurant, jumps around the wall and comes out like "Ta dah, how can I help you, im the manager?!" .. we're like say what?! Who do you report to because there's no way you're a manager, as you seem to be a character out of Harry Potter who just got his baby mustache and you're giving smart remarks stating "what do you want, I gave you a refund though?!" .. like seriously?! THATS NOT THE POINT, it's a matter of PRINCIPLE!! We expect good common customer service and for you guys to show no care in the world?! No empathy nor respect for customers. When he saw he couldn't handle our remarks, this man now comes from the back intruding in conversation. Saying "Hello how can I help you?" And we're like what who are you? And he says "I'm the manager" and we are like clearly somebody is lying here, you have clowns managin your staff and restaurant. Just simply horrendous and awful experience. Do yourself a favor and find "Cariño" elsewhere because ironically they don't know the meaning of the word! Yes PUN intended to the fullest extend!
