    Strawberry Nutella
    Brandie G.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Small and quaint but DELICIOUS! We had a bacon, egg, cheese, tomato, and avocado spread on ciabatta and it did not disappoint. I love how they have board games and card games to keep you entertained while u wait or give u a reason to just hang out and order dessert. The pistachio chocolate croissant had my daughter asking for one togo.

    What a hidden gem! Everything is freshly baked! My latte was delicious! I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon on focaccia and my husband got the breakfast sandwich on a croissant. It was clear that the breads were freshly baked. Highly recommend.

    Delicious pastries and empanadas. We both had cappuccinos and shared a few pastries and two empanadas. Everything was delicious and the owners were very nice. They were out of croissants when we were there but we are looking forward to going back to try them.

    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!

    10/10 place. Atmosphere is cozy and cute. The food and drinks were very good. Workers are very sweet and service is quick. highly recommend for the oviedo area!

    Probably the best breakfast spot in Oviedo. Sandwiches and baked goods are amazing! Service is always great!

    A cozy bakery with delicious pastries and shelves of books the perfect spot to relax, read, and enjoy something sweet. The staff are warm and welcoming.

    Almond pastry, Bavarian cream pastry (rectangular), fruit tart (small circle). All so delicious!

I decided to do the large size iced Thai tea with brulee on top (about 7 dollars). After ordering, we waited in an open space in the back. A couple minutes later, my tea came. I think I ordered my tea half sweet, which was perfect as I can enjoy the flavors of the Thai tea. The brulee on top added more sweetness when I needed it. After finishing the tea, I ate the brulee, which matched the creme brulee taste from the restaurants. Service was friendly and there was ample room to sit and enjoy the tea. Smooth jazz music was in the background, making the environment inviting. While you order at the counter, the staff delivers the tea to you. This was a very nice tea place in Oviedo. Since it is very close to the park at Oviedo, it is awesome to refresh after a great dinner and a nice walk at the park. Definitely my go-to place for tea in Oviedo!

The glassware that the coffee comes in is absolutely gorgeous. I passed by on a pretty quiet Saturday morning to grab a coffee and catch up with a friend. It's definitely the type of environment where you can have some deep conversations and not be interrupted. I got a pistachio latte and a pan de bono which were both really good!

It was super quiet inside the cafe which made it a great place to sit down and get some work done. The staff was able to ring my order up quickly and bring my coffee and food over. I ended up getting a cafe con leche with caramel flavoring and a cheese empanada! The coffee was delicious, however the empanada shell was tougher than expected and didn't have a lot of cheese inside of it. I also ordered banana bread and got the sweet plantain bread but that was actually still pretty tasty! They do have plenty of other pastries available so I'd like to try those out next!

I also enjoyed the matcha with lavender, if you are on the sweet side of things, I recommend asking for it be sweeten. The place is a great space to relax, study, or hang out. The inside design of the space is beautiful and the black and white flower paintings on the walls adds a great touch to the space.

First as soon as you go through the door you can tell this is a place that cares about your experience. Brightly lit and beautifully decorated, everyone that was there seemed very relaxed as if they had checked their stress at the door, event though some seemed to be working. After being thoroughly tempted by the large selection of treats, my wife locked in on her pistachio selections which she loved. The cheesecake was sweet and creamy and the late was just the right amount of sweet with a silky texture. I asked for the Turkish experience, i may have sounded a bit ignorant, but they kindly humored me. As you can tell by the pictures I fell in love with the presentation, the tray, the cup the details all of it. Then came the tasting. The warm bitterness of the hits first with the warm, perfect for a black coffee lover like me, then as you breathe out you feel the aromatic flavor of the cardamom. It may take a couple of sips to appreciate it but it is fantastic. The fruit tart had a very pleasing texture, crunchy crust and moist creamy tart top. great compliment to the coffee. It is a unique experience that we will definitely revisit.

Sure, the people are nice enough, but I am quite literally ALWAYS waiting 15 minutes for a single coffee. Often times its more, like 20-25 minutes. Like literally every time I patiently wait and it hits me - "hey, I've been waiting a while, wheres my drink?" The food comes out quicker than the coffee usually! I ordered food from a place across the street, walked over to Craft, order a coffee, it took 18 minutes, and then by the time I picked up the food and got back - my food was cold. Crazy work. All the other shops do it fine; Deeply, Stemma, Lineage. Framework etc - their average wait time is like 5-8 minutes once you order. Craft has some serious issue with the efficiency of their barista line. And I am aware craft coffee isn't immediate unless you're getting drip - I'm only ordering an Americano, its one of the easiest beverages to make. I will sometimes even people who ordered after me get something fancy and then get their drink before mine! And to that note, its not the best coffee. Its surely good, its quality; but they're not making the best stuff in town. If there's some extra steps or something going on, its not worth making me wait at minimum 15 minutes for a drink when there's literally no line, 5 people sitting down in the shop and 6 employees. It makes me not want to go to this shop ever, its just so unfortunately convenient to where I work that its THE place to go. So thats why I'm writing this - were in the same space and I want to see them improve their wait times. They've been consistently bad for far too long! EDIT: I forgot I wrote a review in 2023 being more forgiving but still complaining about wait times. Well, clearly that has not been fixed!
