My family came into town, and we were looking for a local place to eat. Most places in the area are closed on Mondays. Clermont Cafe was open and sounded good. Off the main street of downtown Clermont. The Cafe is a cute small family owned place decorated with local artists' art on the walls. We ordered sandwiches: BLT, Pastrami Ruben and an Italian. We each tried them all which were all delicious. For dessert we had Marc's Death by Chocolate and it was amazing. If you are in the area you should stop in and try it, you won't be sorry!!! read more

Super cute, sunflower and community art filled little shop. Loved the service and the vibe you get while enjoying a NY bagel with runny eggs! Don't forget to look at all the cute art and thank your server perfect for a sweet outing in the morning with friends or family. read more

Just had our first breakfast at the Clermont Café. It was excellent. The couple that owns it - manages it, cooks the meals and serves the customers. Very friendly. Reminded us so much of Blowing Rock, NC. A real small Town atmosphere. We will go back often! read more

Locally owned businesses are the heart of every community . I enjoy and try to support those who strengthen the local economy. What makes Clermont Cafe different? It's their spectacular customer service, supreme quality of their handmade products and its quaint location. read more

Found this place on Yelp and thought it seemed good. Went in on a Sunday at 8:30am the place was pretty full - the lady taking orders looked up and just yelled from across the room - "your gonna have to wait a long while" - no good morning no hi no nothing! Felt so unwelcome and a small town! We left after that figured they don't need our business. read more

My husband and I happened upon this little gem today! We live in Virginia and spent the weekend in Mount Dora. On the way back to the Orlando Airport we stopped into Clermont. The food was phenomenal and the service was superb! I even purchased a piece of local art. What a lovely experience!!! read more

Well, everything was going ok until I asked to split a hot dog between my 5 year old son and 6 year old daughter. They just ate lunch. Owner behind the counter making the food was not happy that we made this request, in fact was very irritated by it . Comments were made to the cashier. Food was good, experience was ruined by the owners miserable attitude! You may have a better experience, I gave this a one star since I will never be back. read more

If u haven't tried this little gem it's a must . Every time we go it just gets better. Had the seafood wrap today omg it was huge and so good I could barley finish it.

See all

I recently moved to the area and saw this quaint little "mom-and-pop" type restaurant (which I love) and thought to try it out. They were the only restaurant opened in the immediate downtown area before 11:00 am. I'm not sure if it is because of Covid-19 or not but who knows. I came in for a good and hearty breakfast with my daughter. We were plenty starved and probably would have inhaled whatever was placed in front of us and was pretty disappointed that they stop selling breakfast so early. The waitress who was attending all the tables was not wearing any personal protective equipment. I'm well aware that it's not mandatory for Lake County but we were wearing masks and we just figured that at the very least employees serving customers would be protecting themselves especially since some staff came up positive recently in other restaurants nearby. The table was sticky and the entire restaurant wreaked of an overflowing grease trap. We tried to stay and actually try it out but we couldn't. The waitress was super sweet and we appreciate that but I doubt that we will be coming again. We got in the car and the smell stuck to our clothes so bad we doused ourselves with body spray and headed home to change. read more

For a New Business wanting to provide service to customers and you call and it says "This person is not receiving calls at this time" and I have tried for 2 months and have explained to Brandi one of the owner's what is going on. She had no concern in the world. I can't call in an order or when they do have a special and it says call to reserve yours before there all gone. Well I can't . So they must have so much business that they don't need mine anymore . I have been going here for 22 years with 3 different owners. Never have I had such a bad experience. I drop a $20 bill ever time I go in there. For them not to want to earn 20.00 from a single person shows me they apparently don't want business or are working on BAD Customer service. I'm not going there any more. I do not recommend them if you want to enjoy a meal. also he uses processed deli meat which is bad for you. read more

Clermont Cafe is the definition of a neighborhood diner. On my first visit, I ordered the antipasto salad, and it was the type of salad you might expect at a diner: iceberg lettuce with some sliced deli meat and cheese on top, accompanied by a packet of store-bought dressing. Adequate, but pretty basic. On my second visit, I decided to stick to more traditional diner fare. I ordered the Reuben and was not disappointed. It was hot, delicious, and huge! If you're looking for a leisurely lunch, this is your spot. If you're looking for a quick bite, I recommend ordering ahead and carrying out. The entire operation is run by a husband/wife team, so you're at the mercy of how fast those two people can feed an entire restaurant. If you come during lunch, I would allow for at least an hour from the time you sit down until you pay. The people at the next table will invariably strike up a conversation to help pass the time, which adds to the neighborhood vibe. In a town where chain restaurants reign supreme, it is wonderful to see a local business flourish. Even though the service is on the slow side, the proprietors are the nicest people. I hope Clermont Cafe is here to stay! read more

killing time and hunger brought me into this quaint tiny cafe. I was the only patron at 8AM but I got a fab breakfast-perfectly cooked eggs, crispy melt-in-your-mouth bacon, a huge hashbrown patty made in house filled with gooey cheese-yum!! and fresh brewed coffee It was amazing and I will be back with my hubby in tow-hashbrowns are his weakness!! Thx Clermont Cafe! I am impressed-small town flavor and service close to home. read more

Almost didn't go because of the reviews. So glad we did. We were welcomed with a smile & great service. Fresh hot food. This is not fast food restaurant. It's a friendly home town feel with nice artwork deco. We'll have to go back and check out the lunch. read more

I stopped by the cafe today for lunch. It was the first time I had visited. Cozy, homey atmosphere and lots of locals enjoying lunch. They have a daily special and today was a gyro sandwich. It was packed full of tender, sliced meat, just the right amount of onions and oozing with tzaiki sauce. I will go back and try breakfast. It is so nice to have a breakfast place other than the franchises. read more

This is a small town cafe with all that entails, so do not expect fast food speed. That said my food was great, see the locals coming in to talk and the warm service is hard to beat! read more

Clermont Cafe has only been opened for a few weeks, glad we stopped for lunch today, the food was fresh and delicious, the owners are very friendly and attentive. Looking forward for returning and trying the breakfast menu, which is only available until 11 am. read more

The owners are amazingly kind and will make good to order (for us picky eaters). My favorite breakfast place!

Great quiet place to eat amazing food. We ate there for breakfast and I had 2 eggs bacon and hash browns and it was delicious!

GREAT food. I tried the breakfast burrito and I can honestly say it is the best one I've ever had. Our waitress was very accomodating and friendly. I made it a point to go again the following week. Short breakfast menu but everything is fresh read more

Clermont Cafe - Best BLT Ever! - Diners Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Just walked in to the old "Lynn's Deli", didn't know it had changed owners and became the Clermont Café! We are very impressed! Friendly husband and wife team, cute fresh new look, and delicious new menu options! I had the chicken caprese sandwich, the garlic aioli was amazing, the whole sandwich was amazing! My husband got the Cuban, we both ate ours so fast we didn't share with each other, but he said his was great also so we will have to take his word for it! read more

To eat here you get the feel of a time awhile ago in downtown Clermont. People greet each other. Brandi welcomes you and you become a part of a special place. Yummy soups (better than Moms), creative daily specials Mon thru Fri, wonderful sandwiches....go with Marcs lovely way or your way. Sunflowers on the tables and local art for sale on the walls all make you have a better day than when you entered. Plenty of big boy chains for those in a hurry...Here relax and sip your tea! read more

We had a terrible breakfast at this restaurant. Very greasy! The bacon was undercooked and limp. The "hash brown" casserole had no resemblance to hash browns and was a greasy tasteless lump. The biscuits were Cisco split, buttered, grilled and greasy! The gravy was greasy and tasteless, the texture of wallpaper paste. If this restaurant is to succeed they will have to learn how to cook! read more

Really enjoyed our lunch here today! The owners were so personable, service was excellent and food was absolutely delicious. Cuban sandwiches here are better than any Cuban restaurant in the area and even many Cuban restaurants in Miami. BLT sandwich was great, too. Generous portions. Beef vegetable soup was tasty and fresh. We had to take some to go, too. We will definitely be back for breakfast and NY bagels. read more

I had been on hunt for a place like this since moving to Clermont - finally found our go-to breakfast spot! My husband got the breakfast burrito, and I think it's the best I've ever tried! I split pancakes, eggs and bacon with my son; the pancakes were light and fluffy, so were the eggs. Also tried a great NY style everything bagel. My favorite part is that it's a locally-owned and run cafe that sells local art. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a local feel and great food. As a plus, it's located downtown, where there's a cute farmers market every Sunday. read more

Alfalfa sprouts on my sandwich, so good! Nice to meet the owners who use interesting ingredients to make their menu choices so tasty. My husband and I felt in love with a painting on the wall, "Balance", so we bought it. Our NHRA event was cancelled due to COVID, that's how we ended up in Clermont. But we'll be back! read more

If you are not in a hurry the food is good although for the price of the sandwiches they should include a side. We waited over 20 minutes to order and now have been waiting that long to get the bill. Won't be back read more

I can't stop coming here! I have visited countless times without a second of dissapointment! Marc's cooking is something I will travel an hour to enjoy and it is complimented with Brandi's prompt and inviting service! She is quick and doesn't miss a beat! I cannot feel anything but wanted and welcomed for my entire visit! The art on the wall gives the entire restaurant a care-free and relaxed *everything is great!* kind of vibe! I love the icecream, there are flavors for everyone and the scoops are huge! The veggie caprese sandwich is OMG to die for! The french dip is the best in town! The potato salad is a must!!! You haven't had a pancake until you have had Marc's pancakes! If you want breakfast, do not miss the cheesy hashbrowns!!! I can keep going!! Go visit the incredible, husband and wife, Marc and Brandi and you will have an unforgettable experience and a restaurant you will think about every day of the week! read more

The sandwich was good, but the cook had no gloves on?? The place was packed and the gal working the dining room was say and little flustered... don't go on a lunch hour you will be late back to work. read more

Was exited to try this cafe while shopping in Downtown Clermont. There was only one other table dining when we walked in, and they were finishing up their meal, so we figured it would be quick to get served. It took over half an hour to get our food... It was very good but the prices are high for what you get. That said, I would've returned at some point because we like to support small businesses. However, what lost me as a customer is that there was an employe there who left to go on a break; came back inside, walked directly to the kitchen window, grabbed our food to serve to our table WITHOUT EVER WASHING HIS HANDS before touching it. Grossed me out. This might also explain why our food took so long... Regardless, my family will not dine there again. I cringe when places are unsanitary and this is not acceptable to me. read more

Great food and great attentive service!! Check it out. Try the daily special...it wAs scrumptious!

Had best ham egg cheese sandwich with bottomless coffee for less than $7 and full its very clean I drove over 30mins get there worth it
