This cafe is so sweet! Both in terms of service and ambiance. The setting is very child friendly so if you are a parent with young kids looking to get out of the house or meet with friends, i highly recommend. They have a nice selection of toys, games, and children's books. On that note, they also had some adult novels and board games available. While I found the shop to be slightly off the beaten path of Oviedo, I'd go out of my way to come back due to the friendly staff, yummy baked goods made in house, and cute setting. read more

Flakes & Fables - Iced Latte & Strawberry Nutella Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Oviedo, Florida

I absolutely love this coffee shop but I was so disappointed with this visit. I went on a Saturday at noon. I was so excited for a croissant sandwich. I asked what the wait time was for a sandwich because I had an appointment to get to. I was informed that they were not making breakfast sandwiches. I looked at the staff puzzled and they said they got too busy so they were only serving lunch sandwiches. I was confused because it's one thing to be out of ingredients, but to be "too busy" to serve one type of sandwich but not the other doesn't make much sense. I ended up ordering a coffee and then I went to Starbucks for food. The coffee took a little while to come out. They had two staff members working behind the counter. One was taking orders and making drinks while the other one was making a drink for herself and wiping down the counter. Overall, this was just a major disappointment. I'll be back but they have some work to do on the service side of things. read more

Flakes & Fables - Iced latte - Bakeries Near Me - Oviedo, Florida

First time coming to Flakes and Fables and its a pretty cute local shop! The croissant breakfast sandwich was delicious; you can choose up to three toppings and the portion is big. They also have a display case for pastries; it seems that they dont have a permanent selection of pastries as I had seen on a different yelp review that they had almond croissants but when I had gone they did not have it The coffee was okay; I had ordered a plain latte with regular milk but they gave me oatmilk instead which was fine. The coffee wasn't very strong and was more milky. read more

Had a fantastic time stopping at Flakes and Fables. The two workers were lovely and I loved how the inside looked. Another time, I would love to actually hang out inside. My friend and I were both fans of their coffee as well. My friend has a dairy allergy and it was very nice and hat they do not charge extra for their alternative milk options. read more

Whimsical, cozy and quaint, I'm in love with this independent coffee shop. It's a hole in a wall that a lot of people already know about because it was quite busy during our weekend morning visit. The decor is adorable with its bookish theme. There is a focal wall with book art and I couldn't stop exploring it. There is moving art on the wall thx to framed tvs and the counter has fun decorations that were super cute. The menu has plenty of coffee, tea and food options. The breakfast sandwiches are customizable and they offer focaccia as a bread option! Needless to say I loved everything about this shop. Excited to return. There is eclectic indoor seating for a variety of group numbers and the shop is located in a plaza with plenty to shared parking. read more

Pros: Ambiance was very nice and eclectic. Electronic paintings on the wall, a book art wall, beautiful artwork in the bathroom. Loved the look of this place. The register person, who I assume is the owner, was insanely nice. He checked in on us just enough, and he got our feedback on the baked goods to give to the baker. Very cool. The food itself was high quality. You can always tell fresh baked stuff from warmed up pastries from bags. Good flavors, a good amount of sweetness, and we had a sandwich that was so lovely. Cons: No cons whatsoever. Tips: Make sure you show up ready to play. Have have free board games for you to grab and play. Love that. read more

We want more weekend morning coffee shops to chill at, get some work done, play a board game, and eat and drink delicious coffee and pastries and such. Starbies has obviously passed out of the mainstream, so we wanted to check out some local spots. Flakes & Fables is one of those spots we checked out. Ambiance is clean, proud, and a little whimsical. Very interesting artwork adorns the wall, including some absolutely stunning book art that every child should look at and admire. And there's a couple of nice glass cabinets showing off the pastries that are fresh and ready for sale. Very nice look to the place. Service was insanely nice. We had a very nice little conversation with the guy at the counter, the food and drink gets delivered right to the table, and he even checked in on us once or twice to ask how our meal was, talking a little bit about different recipes that the baker is trying out. It was really nice service. As for the food and bev, all so solid. Drinks were good. Not too sweet, not too bitter. No concerns there. We had a little blueberry bundt thing with vanilla icing drizzled all over it. It was very soft and delicate. The blueberry aspect tasted nice and natural, not too sweet. Very good. We also had a nice chocolate/pistachio filled croissant with that same combination on top. This was a very delicate croissant. You can tell that it was baked in house; there were flakes everywhere, on the table, on my lap, it was done very well. With just the right amount of chocolate within, and some very nice chunks of pistachios on top for texture. Just lovely. The last thing I sampled, my main event, was a breakfast sandwich in a nice slice of focaccia. Wow, the height on this thing was impressive. But it was very squishable and edible, because that bread was so airy and buttery. A great combination of butter and salt was in the bread, and the ingredient amount of perfect, too. Loved those nice, strong slices of tomatoes. I could talk about the fun board games they have available to play, but I doubt anyone is even reading this anymore. I was very happy with my visit here. I review places and I don't think about price at all when I do, but if I could make one remark about this place, I don't think their prices were high enough. I think that for comparable food and drink and comparable places, this is the cheapest you'll find it. Which is good for us, but as a small business, you gotta survive. Once you get truly cemented into the community, raise those prices a bit. This is quality stuff. read more

We stopped by Flakes & Fables before going thrifting and antiquing, and it was so convenient since it's just a few steps from The Coop. My husband picked up an iced matcha, and I ordered the mocha latte with oat milk. It was honestly the best mocha latte I've ever had--perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. Since we were visiting grandma from out of town finding this adorable coffee shop made our day even more special. We can't wait to come back and try their pastries! read more

The look of this little coffee shop is ADORABLE. I love the books that lined the walls. There are games and books to read. A coloring table is supposed to get added for kids. Books and coffee what could be better? I tried the lavender americano hot this time and it was tasty. A darker roast. They had a lot of treats to try and I will definitely do so next time. It was so cool to get to pick a few stickers that were coffee themed on the way out for free. Such a great theme for a little coffee shop! Free WiFi! read more

Every visit to Flakes and Fables is a positive one. They have an assortment of beverages for coffee lovers, and those who might prefer a lemonade or non-coffee beverage. The staff is friendly and always asks about customizing the desired level of sweetness for our beverages, which I really appreciate. The pastries are delicious. We've also enjoyed their brownies and the chocolate pistachio croissant. I am personally hooked on the strawberry Nutella croissant with an iced hazelnut latte. The theme of the store is bookish and books by local authors are featured at the counter. It is an ideal place to meet up particularly children for a cozy treat and reading or game. Definitely a new favorite for us! read more

I stumbled by this place by accident, and it did not disappoint! The staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was very tasty and the drinks were good. I'd like my a little sweeter but I can definitely ask for that next time. The inside was so nice. A little messy from maybe a rush, but that's okay. I loved that they had games to play as a family as well as all the book decor. I will be going back again soon. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I was visiting friends who recommended F&F. The restaurant is quaint, full of books and board games to use while you eat. I really enjoyed their sandwiches and their desserts looked too pretty to eat but to be honest they were delicious. We had a very enthusiastic round of Really Loud Librarians before we left. It was a great time. The owner was kind when I thanked him for the amazing lunch and let him know that I was not a local. He handed me a surprise treat for the road - an incredible brownie! I completely understand why my friends are regulars and I hope to return again. read more

Desserts are soooo good. The atmosphere too was so cute and the book wall was cute too. Definitely a hidden gem. Service was nice

the staff was incredibly kind - they patiently explained each bakery item to us - and the food was great too! however, the reason for the rating and why i'm writing this review is because the AI generated videos playing on screens around the cafe gave it a very off putting vibe. My friends and I were frankly surprised and saddened to see a small business supporting something as unethical as AI image generation, and for this reason we will not be coming back and we are advising our community not to support these decisions either. the decor asides from the AI was very beautiful - if the screens were removed, i think the ambiance would be just as nice :) read more

One of the best crossiant breakfast sandwiches I have ever eaten. Flakely delicious! Staff and atmosphere are perfect!

After a little confusion from Google Maps I found parking in the shopping center and easily spotted the front of Flakes & Fables. Walking in there is seating inside, games, and cute, forest animal decor. The two staff members I interacted with were very kind and helpful. I went with a classic iced mocha. It was clear the drink was made fresh and with real chocolate sauce, not chocolate syrup! I was most pleased to see that my drink came out under $6! I sat down at a table to wait for my drink and read. There was another table with two customers at it, so not too busy. One of the staff members brought my drink to my table. While I was enjoying my drink and reading, the other table left and then two more people came in and sat down. The drink was very good! Not too sweet and not bitter! I will definitely be back! I liked the vibes and the decor! I felt like I was in an enchanted forest. read more

I rode my bicycle into Oviedo for a visit to Solary Park. I was looking out across the water thinking there really were no places to get a really good cup of coffee downtown. I pedaled up to the shopping center and, lo and behold, Flakes & Fables! Since I had already had something to eat, only a cup of coffee, very rich indeed, was in order. But the menu is very diverse and the breakfast sandwiches are customizable. There aren't many choices in downtown Oviedo, but this little café, run by a couple of fresh and friendly faces, is unique and worth a visit. Hopefully, I'll be going to Flakes & Fables once a week! read more
