I stopped in before leaving after my trip around the theme parks. I was pretty much burnt out on…read moretheme park food and definitely not in the mood for fast food. I found this place on Yelp looking for some French food since I was too full on this trip to go to the French pavilion in Epcot and I was craving French brunch. This place was great. I got the lunch combination with a choice of soup or salad (I opted for soup du jour, which was a tomato soup) and the Croque madame. I paired my meal with the seasonal selection of matcha, the blueberry Matcha. Service was pretty quick and the food and drink were amazing. Croque Madame was cheesy and delicious with a yummy runny egg. The matcha was sweet and had the blueberry flavor from the whipped cream. The tomato soup was savory, creamy, and with tomato flavor and came with two slices of baguettes, which were great to dip up the soup. If I'm ever back in Orlando I would 100% make a stop by here again.

Decided to try this cafe for lunch, some coffee, and a cozy place to work. The staff was great, and…read moremy latte and French onion soup were delicious, but the interior area felt pretty outdated (not just design but upkeep) and was not as cozy as I had hoped. The music was pretty prominent and high-energy, detracting from the coziness. There was a lot of patio seating, however. Finally, I was pretty disappointed by the turkey, brie, and fig panini I ordered as my main lunch course. Don't let that dissuade you, though, because they have an extensive menu and seemingly robust set of wine options.

It was bagged nicely and well organized. The omelette was a generous sized portion with plenty of tender chicken, peppers, and cheese. There was salsa to add a bit of flavor, but it tasted that it was made in New York City (if you remember that commercial ;) ). The white toast was soft and buttery, and the potatoes were good. My mom enjoyed the banana pecan waffles, and I took a couple bites as well. It was sinfully sweet and enjoyable, especially the bananas. And I must say the coffee was so good, it was even better than the Juan Valdez coffee that I make at home. Since I didn't visit the restaurant, I can't comment on the atmosphere. But I believe the service is excellent because they nicely packed all items and kept it organized. I definitely need to take my family to this restaurant. Since the one in Metrowest closed, this is the closest one to us. I am glad the food is still excellent and the coffee keeps you peppy.

Went there for a casual dinner to catch up with a friend. The atmosphere was casual but a bit darker than I would have preferred. It would have been nice if the place had a few warm accent lights so it did not feel so dark in places. Service was friendly and personable, very nice people who made you feel welcome. I ordered the Mexican Salad, hoping this was one of the healthier options on the menu but was very disappointed. The salad was drenched in the dressing and covered in cheese. I could hardly find the other ingredients like beans and corn. There were no other vegetables other than iceberg lettuce, not even fresh tomatoes or cucumber. To be fair, the portion size was very good, a big enough platter to share among two people. I also appreciate the charitable contributions that this location is making to the community and by the looks of it they have a strong breakfast menu with lots of options. The suggestion I would make for them to improve is to find some really great healthy options to add to the menu and to be careful about making health sounding items like "salads" calorie bombs. read more

Girl was quite helpful and explained some of their dishes. 5 stars here Food The tea was a bit different but interesting. The steamed milk was done to perfection, with honey packets provided. I ordered scrambled eggs which were done to order with real eggs the ample amount of eggs (looked like 3) were fluffy and quite tasty. The sausage patty was pretty standard, nothing special. Interestingly, the biscuit was grilled (which I don't usually like) and didn't look like anything special. However, it was quite tasty and nice and fluffy. 4+ stars here. The bottom line Would I return? Absolutely. Three reasons (1) the food, although not outstanding, was fresh and good (2) the ambience was super. If you're looking for a place to come down from the stress of the day this is a great place to choose. (3) the cost of my breakfast is outstanding ($16 for my entire breakfast).
