Central Florida locals know that we are definitely lacking in cozy, authentic diner experiences... So when I first discovered Dixie cream Café, I was so excited. I'm from the Midwest, so have been to many a diner breakfast growing up. This spot is so sweet and cozy, with warm yellow walls and art everywhere. it feels like stepping into your mom's kitchen in 2003 (and I mean that in the BEST way). They have an extensive breakfast menu, and I've ordered a few things from it, and I've never had an unsatisfying meal. The staff there is so kind, and while you can definitely expect a bit of a wait in the weekends for a table, you never have to wait too long on your food. So thankful to have this local gem close to home for those days I just need a good small town breakfast experience! read more

Dixie Cream Cafe has a cozy farmhouse vibe that immediately makes you feel at home. We stopped in with the family on a random Tuesday morning when nobody felt like cooking, and I'm really glad we did. The food was excellent. Everything came out hot, fresh, and tasted like good home cooking. The biscuits were especially fluffy and delicious. We ordered the Farmhouse Scramble, Breakfast Hash, and chocolate chip pancakes, and everyone left happy. My son has an unwavering love for hot chocolate, even in the middle of a Florida summer. As soon as he spotted it on the menu, he had to order one. Our server asked if he wanted it "sky high," and we all kind of looked at each other and said, "Sure?" We had absolutely no idea what was coming. When his drink arrived, we couldn't stop laughing. It was a giant ceramic mug overflowing with hot chocolate and piled high with marshmallows, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and sprinkles. It definitely wasn't on our breakfast bingo card, but he was absolutely thrilled. It looked incredible. I'm pretty sure the sugar crash hit shortly after breakfast, but it was worth it for the excitement alone. The staff was genuinely friendly, the food was delicious, and the whole experience was memorable. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again and looking for a great breakfast. read more

The Dixie Cream Cafe is a pleasant enough place serving the community of Windermere. It is a great place to head to for breakfast and with it b being in the Main Street "downtown" area, it is a cool place and afterwards, you can walk around this quaint area and see what makes Windermere such a cool place. Dixie Cream Cafe has been around since 2010 and have become a great part of the Windermere community. I went with an omelette and would definitely recommend any of their omelettes. If you are in the area, I would definitely recommend Dixie Cream Cafe. read more

This charming little family owned Cafe is located in the center of small town Windermere downtown! We've been eating here for over 10 years and it's about time to write a supportive review for them!

Came here for breakfast before meeting some friends. The place was very busy but no problem getting a table. I had ample time to look at the menu and everything looked great. I went for the avacado smash eggs Benedict. It was really good. Perfect amount of avacado and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The only thing I thought it was missing was bacon. It needed something else. But all around a delicious meal. The home fries were cooked perfectly and I appreciated the fact you put the amount of salt and pepper instead of someone else. Will definitely come back here again. read more

The breakfast is pretty good and served all day. The first time I went I tried the breakfast burrito, and I t was not disappointing. It was my birthday, so they decorated my to go box which was a really nice touch. The service was good, as it was busy, a bit hectic but good. Weekends are very busy, so prepare accordingly. The next time I went for lunch during the week and had the tuna melt. It was pretty good as well. My friend ordered the fried green tomato blt and liked it as well. The tomatoes are tempura fried which I'm not a fan of, but they said it was good. For simple meals with good flavor, I really like this diner. They also have a lot of desserts to choose from as well. read more

Visiting Florida & my friend took me to this spot. Was so nice! Came here on a Thursday morning & it was decently packed! We sat outside since the weather was nice & was served right away. Our server was friendly & checked up on us often. The food came out fast & was delicious! I especially loved the biscuit & gravy. Good size portions. The potatoes were ok, a bit small but had great flavor. I was too full so I didn't get any dessert, but I would next time I'm back. I'm glad my friend took me here! read more

After years of driving past this place, I finally made it in for breakfast and I'm so glad I did! We came in as a party of four and were seated right away, which was a great start to the morning. I ordered the fried green tomato eggs Benedict, and wow flavor-wise, it hit the spot. The egg was a bit overcooked for my taste, and the breakfast potatoes leaned on the dry side, but honestly, nothing that took away from the overall enjoyment. My husband ordered the same dish, just without the spinach. His plate did come out with it, but shoutout to the staff, they fixed it quickly and without any fuss. Service like that always makes a difference. The real standout for my kids was the vanilla French toast, super delicious and clearly a hit. To drink, I went with a double passion fruit mimosa (because, yes, breakfast deserves bubbles), and it was perfectly made light, refreshing, and not too sweet. The vibe here is relaxed and welcoming. You can sit inside or outside, and if you're dining al fresco, pups are welcome too, major bonus points for pet-friendliness! Before heading out, we grabbed a slice of key lime pie and a chocolate muffin to-go. Both were a sweet little ending to a great breakfast. Already eyeing the salmon Benedict for next time because yes, there will be a next time! read more

Service has always been great and love the kitschy atmosphere. The decor lets you know it's personalized. I have been going here 3+ years and bringing friends & family. The important thing: food. There's something for everyone. Today, I took my niece and her friend. We loved our food and drinks. They ate too fast so no pictures of their mochas and chill drinks or food. Adding mine. Got the Do WaDitty - made with a house Chive Cream Cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Scallions and Diced Tomato. Yum. It came with a biscuit and potatoes. I ended up giving my biscuit to one of the girls. It is so good! Looking forward to my next visit! read more

What a cute brunch spot!! I was driving from Orlando with some friends and decided to grab brunch here on our way out. We came on a Saturday morning so there was a little wait of about 15 minutes for our group of 5 but we were able to wait outside. Our waitress was super sweet and kept checking in on us frequently which we appreciated. I ordered an iced sugar free vanilla latte and it was absolutely delicious. I decided to split a western omelette and a bananas foster French toast with my boyfriend. The western omelette was fluffy and delicious and I loved the seasoned breakfast potatoes it came with. The star though was the French toast. Such good flavors!! Overall, cute little brunch spot! read more

Good stuff. Steph who was a floater and all around check on things was great and really made my day. My server Mike was swamped but kept a smiling face and cheerful attitude. Even the young lady behind the front counter was friendly and helpful. The restaurant is very pleasant and located in a quaint little alcove, Windermere's version of a strip mall. The rest of us should take note. This is how you do a strip mall. The menu is extensive, staying true to the diner aspect of the place. I had chicken & waffles and some nice breakfast potatoes. I also got a couple items from the bakery - a muffin and a cookie. Very nice. read more

This is one of my go to spots for breakfast/brunch and can't say enough good things about how great the food and service is here. It can get pretty busy on the weekends, depending on the time, but if you are coming during the week you should have no issues with getting a table quickly. The menu is full of a ton of great options. I usually go for one of the quiches or one of the eggs Benedict's, they have several variations on the menu. If you are craving something sweeter there are plenty of options, too. The parking situation can get tricky on the weekends, but otherwise there's a lot in front and lots of street parking close by. I love to meet people here for breakfast meetings. You can also do brunch here and then go to the brewery that is right next door (Windermere Brewing). They also have pies and other treats for sale to bring home with you. read more

Dixie Cream Cafe This will become my new go-to lunch cafe!! Service was great. Food was delicious. Ambiance is welcoming and laid back. It's the cutest local cafe that takes pride in its homemade food. They have something for everyone, and breakfast is served all day too. They smoke their own pork, so I went with the Cuban sandwich. It was probably one of the best Cuban sandwiches I've ever had. The pork was delicious. Interestingly, they used one big chunk of ham instead of sliced ham, but I actually really liked that. The bread was the perfect combo of fluffy with crispy edges. It came out super hot too. I opted for the side of fruit for a slight upcharge instead of fries or chips. I was glad I did! It was a pretty great mixed fruit cup. Filled to the brim of many different kinds of fresh fruits, so unlike lots of chinsy fruit cups a lot of places serve. My mom ordered a burger and my dad ordered the fish and chips (the fish piece was HUGE) and they both said their meals were delicious. There is a pretty extensive coffee menu and homemade pastries to-go if you want to just pop in and get a quick breakfast on the run. The only thing I didn't care for was their speciality iced tea. It was a little bit too sweet for my liking, but that's not their fault. Just a personal preference. Prices are very reasonable as well especially considering portion sizes. read more

Stopped in for a late breakfast on Saturday. I saw outside and the table was mildly sticky. Not humid sticky but pancake sticky. The egg sandwich was just ok. The potatoes were cold. The other dish was a scramble and it tasted better than it looked. The service was the best part. The server checked back every few minutes and made sure coffee never ran out. I'd try it again and order something different. read more

Love it here. Just feels like eating breakfast at home. The lattes are great, the omelettes are too. Our go to breakfast spot in Orlando.

If you are looking for a solid, local breakfast joint that is reminiscent of an old dinner, than the Dixie Cream Cafe is a great spot to stop! This local breakfast joint for Windemere residents is consistently busy - even on weekdays - but you never have to wait too too long. I always enjoy the vanilla bean latte and the eggs benedict; I would also recommend the breakfast burrito. Their menu is large and surely will have something for everyone - without being overwhelming. read more

We arrived on a Saturday around 1pm. It wasn't terribly busy and we were able to be seated right away. I opted for the breakfast burrito, which had scrambled eggs, chorizo sausage, green peppers, cheese And salsa and sour cream. It was served with a side of breakfast potatoes. The biggest complaint I had about the food was that the chorizo clearly was not drained before it was added into my tortilla. There was so much oil soaking through the tortilla that it made it uncomfortable to hold it to eat and I ended up using a knife and fork. Overall the flavors were delicious. My husband opted for the chicken and waffles with a side of cheesy egg. When the food was brought out his chicken and waffles were brought out but not his side of eggs. The food runner looked completely lost and confused when my husband asked where his side of eggs were. The server happened to be in the area and said I'll take care of it as the other person in our party was missing cheese on her eggs. My husband mentioned that the chicken was salty so in order to eat the chicken he had to have the waffle with the extra syrup to balance it. Waffle was OK but definitely could've been in The waffle iron for a little bit more to give it that golden crisp. The other person in the party wanted to do a waffle with eggs and bacon but the server told us that wasn't a possibility. So she ended up getting blueberry pancakes with eggs and bacon. As I mentioned she had requested cheese on her eggs but it wasn't there and had to be taken back to the kitchen to correct it. The bacon on her plate definitely looked like it was at the end of the day and left over. It was very small and definitely over cooked. I was here a few months back and thought that the service was great and the food was wonderful. Today's experience was at most mediocre. For the eggs being left off of my husbands plate and then the cheese being missed on our friends plate we didn't even get so much as a I'm sorry or we're sorry for the mistake. Perhaps it was because it was at the end of their day and everybody was just wanting to go home. But it will probably be several months before we try this location again. read more

Went to Dixie Cream Cafe today for brunch and it was great! Our server, Janna, was great and so friendly. We will go back again just because of her but the food was also great.

Back again (2nd weekend in a row) and must say that the food and service did not disappoint. Some weekends are busier than others and today there was no wait. Last weekend there was a 5 minute wait. All in-all, it beats going to one of those large franchies eateries and it feels good to support a small business. As for the food, everything I've had I would gladly order again. Fried Fish and chips, banana foster French toast, and shrimp (of the shrimp and grits) are my favorite. As a true southerner, I'm particular about my grits. The grits are ok only because it's a little under salted but after adding one of their green sauces the dish was instantly a hit! The lemon ricotta pancakes are really good and not too sweet. The Banana foster French toast is amazing, but if you're watching your sugar intake you may want to skip this one. I usually skip the whipped cream and ask for light syrup on top; if not, they will load the French toast with syrup on top. The folks are nice and if there's an issue, they're right on top of it. This a good local eatery with some great food. read more

The best home cooking, honestly just a gem in Windemere. We love getting some biscuits and gravy here, my god it's good! They are worth the drive! read more

Things have changed drastically for Dixie Cream Cafe. They used to be the benchmark for a great breakfast restaurant but have nose dived into mediocrity. The omelet that we ordered had the life cooked out it and was the driest egg that I have ever saw on a plate. The blueberry pancake was bland with a rubbery texture and had just a few blueberries cooked inside. The blueberries scattered on top of the cooked pancake would have been better served inside of the batter. It would have helped it to taste like a blueberry pancake. Lastly...the biscuits and gravy recipe changed for the worse. Now it is something closer to a loose brown gravy with big hunks of tasteless..dry sausage. Serving the biscuit torn into pieces with gravy on top is not as visually appealing as having a small bowl of gravy next to a whole biscuit. Gone is the creamy white gravy that was loaded with flavor. The biscuits were beautiful on the outside and undercooked on the inside. read more
