The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and it was the perfect spot to enjoy a sunny afternoon with our dog, Lily. The staff were all genuinely friendly and attentive, but John and Tracy truly went above and beyond. They made Lily feel like the guest of honor--bringing her water, stopping by with kind words and pets, and making sure she was comfortable while we enjoyed our meal. It's rare to find a place that is not only dog-friendly, but so warmly dog-welcoming. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the service was perfectly paced. Between the great meal, the comfortable patio, and the thoughtful staff, it was a memorable and relaxing experience from start to finish. We'll absolutely be back--Lily will insist on it!

Generous seating and calm, peaceful music make for a very intimate setting to enjoy with dinning companions. We started off with the Charcuterie platter. Beautifully prepared and served/explained by Chef John. This included an oven fresh baguette, served in its own delightful paper bag. For entrées we shared the Beef Bourguigon, and Ratatouille. Both were delicious. I have so much respect for Chef John. Operating a small high end restaurant in 2026, must be the toughest job around. From the competition around him, the high cost of quality specialty foods, rent, staff and providing experiences. You can feel the love in every bite. Go treat yourself to a wonderful dinning experience. A Votre Sante' Chef John.

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.

As entrees I ordered a Cobb salad with grilled chicken, which was very filling and yummy! My husband got their Birria ramen and said it was a little too bland for his taste and might've needed more salt, but was overall good (he ate it all lol).

Considering there are eight tables. That's a lot of running around. The people here are extremely friendly. Even walking around the town people are extremely friendly. I ordered the Cobb salad and was concerned it was not going to be enough for me. But it turned out to be prefect!

The ONLY place to get Kolaches (warm yeast rolls with a choice of fillings) - if you don't know what a Kolache is, do yourself and your family a huge favor and try some, or many. Very addictive, in a good food kind of way. And their Doughnuts are so wonderfully good!! For hardcore doughnut lovers, like me, this puts others to shame (looking at you DD). Everything about this place is what you would want wherever you live, and if you're here in Lake County, we struck gold. I must admit that the prices are higher than I would like, but that seems to be the case everywhere. I am going to post this elsewhere too, because this local shop deserves our support, and selfishly, I want to be able to stop by there when I want, so I need them to thrive. It is one of those places that, if you try it, you are hooked. Oh, and everyone who works there is super cheerful and helpful. Long post, but now you know a little about Cousin's Kolaches.

We had a long day ahead and needed something with sustenance and of good taste and flavor. What a great choice we made choosing Breakfast Barn Country Kitchen! Michelle was phenomenal!!!She was attentive and made sure we were taken care of while dining in and with providing everything we needed for our to-go order! We both ordered the Papa's Waffle Platter. I had the Cinnaroll Lovers Waffle (no sugar glaze) and Mom had the Plain Malted Waffle. Scrambled Eggs and Bacon accompanied the waffles. We had refillable coffee while there. To-go we had Orange Juices, a Meatloaf meal and the Cranberry Crunch Salad. Everything was delicious. The Papa's Waffle Platter was very filling as we had hope. We only ate half of our waffles and also took those to go. We had taken in and enjoyed some of the restaurant decor. One of the items on the wall had a list suggested of rules for life. We stopped to read it as we leaving. The list reminded me of a conversation we had just earlier than morning. Positive affirmations and good advice received! Later in the evening, I had the Cranberry Crunch Salad. It was so good. The Raspberry Vinaigrette complimented the salad well. We hope to return to visit Michelle and Breakfast Barn again!!!

Just outside of Apopka and in the heart of Zellwood is this "gem of the south". It's just what you'd expect. Nothing fancy at all. Old family style booths, tables and even a counter by the kitchen window. This really is a place to bring your newspaper or a good book, sip on some good old coffee or sweet tea. The breakfast is very old southern country. They will make it how you want .... They also have waffles and pancakes and all the fixings. So come on over and take a gander of all what they got for ya!!!! We are coming back for more of more... LOL. Service is awesome always filling my cup too!!! Thank you for a wonderful breakfast!

Lovely restaurant with limited outdoor seating on their expansive front porch overlooking Lake Dora…read moreand two indoor dining areas. We had reservations, so we dined in the reserved dining room which had massive windows looking out to the beautifully landscaped area. Our server was attentive and pleasant, however, his shift must have ended and service was practically non existent halfway through our meal. To be fair though, a party of about 20 women had just wrapped up leaving one single server to clean up, rearrange the tables, and maybe even wait other table in the other dining area. After quite a wait of about 20 minutes she checked on us and we requested the dessert menu. Another long wait later we ordered dessert which came out more timely. The food was wonderful. We were told the soup of the day was tomato bisque and Italian wedding soup. My friend and I ordered a cup each and our server returned with an announcement the soup selection for today is actually minestrone. I ordered a cup and it was delicious. My friend ordered the tomato pie - sorry, out of it, then the monte cristo, sorry out, and ended up ordering the Reuben which she said was good and the seasoned fries were delicious. My Florida fresh salad with a delightful citrus vinaigrette was as delicious and indeed fresh. Desserts of cake and coffee were the perfect ending to a very nice meal. In all, service was a miss, but I don't know the story for them being short staffed. Food and atmosphere were wonderful and we'll return next time we're in town.

There are lots of delightful restaurants there (according to yelpers) but many were located downtown and parking was hard to find so we decided to go to Fifth Avenue Streatery since we had driven by and there was lots of parking. All of which the tables are outside on a charming patio with lots of interesting decor. It was 11:30 so the day was pleasant and sitting outside was fine. Not sure how I would feel about that in August. Our waitress was Haley (guessing at the spelling) and she was bubbly and very attentive. The menu wasn't overwhelming and I always think that's a good sign that most of the food is being prepared fresh and not pulled from a freezer. My mom ordered the fish sandwich with tomato and cucumber salad. After ordering the Italian Haley said they were out of beef until the owner arrived so I went for the day's special which was a seafood basket: two pieces of fried fish, four huge shrimp and clam strips. Clam strips are not my favorite but these were very crisp and tasty. It was served with fries and cold slaw. We both agreed the food was very good. I asked for some cocktail sauce and after a few minutes she came back with saying she had to make some. It was fantastic, very horseradish forward which I loved. I am glad we couldn't locate our first two choices since we got to eat at this funky little place and have the best server in all of Mt. Dora.
