My bacon egg cheese croissant sandwich was delicious both days I got it and so was my husband's burrito. We watched the pancakes and French toasts walk by and they also looked amazing. Definitely a Mount Dora must and if you got good shoes and are in good health not a bad walk from downtown.

The restaurant was not too busy when we got there. Our friends were already seated and waiting for us. There had ordered water for the table and had their coffees. Joshua appeared shortly after we exchanged pleasantries with our group. He checked in and we ordered coffee as well. He returned with the coffee and took all our orders. Two of our friends frequent the cafe weekly so he already knew what they wanted. The rest of us were able to order. We received our food in a reasonable time. Joshua and Kim checked in periodically to make sure we didn't need anything and kept the coffee flowing. I had the Pot Roast Omelette with Home Fries and a Biscuit. It was ok. Everyone else enjoyed their food. I would recommend the cafe adding fresh fruits to the menu. By the time we got ready to leave, there was a line of people waiting to be seated. We had to sidled out the door. The cafe is quaint and popular with the locals of Mount Dora. I am open to returning and trying something else on the menu.

We had wanted to sit on the porch for dining but it was full so we ate in the formal dining room. I…read morehad forgotten how lovely it is! There are big picture windows looking out on a lovely Florida garden, lovely sunny day. I had the shrimp salad which was substantial and fresh! My husband had the chicken pot pie, his favorite, which came with a side salad. Our server was upbeat and helpful. We'll be back!

The first thing you need to understand when dining at the Beauclaire, part of Lakeside Inn here in…read moreMount Dora, is that this location was developed in the1880s. So, a little threadbare never killed anybody. My first Sunday brunch here was pleasant (though I'm hesitant to pay about $25 for breakfast anywhere these days). I made my reservation online easily enough. Breakfast here finishes at 10a and then brunch service begins at 11a. Justin was super friendly when I arrived and I was seated and had already placed my Grand Slam order with OJ by 11:05a. That's pretty dang good. My server, Lisa, was very charming and - when I asked - she seemed to know quite a bit about the restaurant and hotel. The coral dining room is where I ate, they do not take reservations for sitting at the outdoor tables. The Grand Slam comes with eggs, your choice of bacon or sausage (patties), and potatoes or grits, with 4 small pancakes. The sausage and pancakes were very good, the potatoes well-seasoned, but the scrambled eggs left a lot to be desired. I would order fried eggs if you're looking for something fresher. The juice was delicious (no pulp), but $4 for one glass is just crazy. The water, I will say, was actually good - which pleasantly surprised me. You always want the water at a restaurant to be good - that's what they cook the food in. If not the Grand Slam, I'd bet the Belgian Waffle is a solid bet. I just can't get over how expensive breakfast, brunch, and lunch are these days. The Grand Slam came out to $18 but you DO get a very good portion of food for your money.

Brunch at Peach Valley Café was absolutely fantastic. My mom and I came in for brunch and…read moreeverything--from the food to the service--was top-notch. She ordered the smoked salmon and bagel, and I had the fiesta rancheros. Both dishes were out of this world delicious. The home fries deserve a special shout-out: hands down the best I've ever had. Our waitress, Jessica, was phenomenal--super attentive, friendly, and efficient. She was wonderful with us and I noticed her engaging warmly with the other tables too. The whole atmosphere felt friendly and genuinely jovial. We finished with the peach cobbler served warm in a skillet with vanilla ice cream, and it was exceptional. Not overly sweet, perfectly balanced, and more of a crumbled consistency rather than a traditional crust--which made it even better. Absolutely perfect brunch experience. We'll definitely be back!

It's such a cute spot, with an impressive selection of baked goods at very reasonable prices. This time, I ordered the chocolate strawberry latte, and we shared a red velvet scone along with one of their unique "Nobody Asked For This" chocolate chip cookies made with roasted garlic. The latte was delicious and piping hot--perfect for a chilly day. My first bite of the garlic chocolate chip cookie had me thinking, "No," but it quickly grew on me, and I ended up really enjoying the unexpected combination of flavors. The red velvet scone was huge (perfect for sharing) and absolutely amazing, loaded with chocolate chips. Between the drinks and treats I've tried over multiple visits, Allyson A's Bake Shop has yet to disappoint. It's a must-stop whenever I'm in Mount Dora.

As entrees I ordered a Cobb salad with grilled chicken, which was very filling and yummy!
