Great service, great smoked fish dip, and an ice cold mug to pour your favorite beer into. What else can you ask for? Well sitting on their outdoor balcony overlooking downtown is an added bonus. My server was friendly, polite, and prompt. She took my order with in minutes of my seating and my order came out shortly afterwards. Make this one of your stops while visiting historic and charming Mount Dora. Next time I'm going to try one of their desserts. read more

This is a cute little place that span several rooms and a balcony one flight up from the main drag in Mount Dora. The staff is very nice and quick. The lobster bisque is very good. Way better than the bisque you can get at the actual lobster restaurant down the block a bit. read more

This is a great place to people watch! I enjoyed sitting outside and chatting with my friend while having a cup of mint tea! They have food items there that I will have to try at some point, but I'm so happy I came and look forward to going back again! read more

Underwhelming. Expected a bit more based on the reviews. Located upstairs (duh), One Flight Up has a simple cafe menu with very limited breakfast offerings. I had the Quiche (spinach, artichoke). A small slice, tasty, but overall disappointing since I paid $9. The one-size Latte, served in a plain mug, was basic, hot, but not very strong (recommend getting an extra shot) Perhaps lunch is better. The atmosphere was the best part about the place; nice, kitchy, ample indoor and outdoor patio seating with a lot of original art with 70's music playing in the background. Overall, not bad but not worth the price I paid. Lots of other choices in town. read more

The food was pretty good, although the presentation wasn't consistent. My wife had the same but had a real plate while I received a paper one. But it was due to what I imagine was a mix-up. They were looking for someone who'd ordered the honey mustard chicken wraps. So only one showed up when the food finally arrived, so they had to fill the other after the fact. It's not a huge issue, but noticeable. The server was apologetic and did good overall. I guess they felt overwhelmed with the extra weekend traffic since it was the blueberry festival this week. Although it's not a huge place, the place had a SOHO vibe to it and felt cozy. Live and learn. I would probably come during another day and compare. read more

Atmosphere - Great! The restaurant is located in the center of town near the shops. As the name states, the restaurant is located on the second floor of a building (I did not see an elevator). The dining areas are located in several small rooms in what appears to be a former home or apartment. There also is a small outdoor seating area that overlooks the street. The décor is casual, yet very nice. Service - Very Good. Our server was attentive and friendly. Food - Very Good. I had the soup and half sandwich special. I ordered the Lobster Bisque and Roast Turkey with Swiss Cheese. Both were great. The bread was fresh and the roast turkey and Swiss cheese delicious. The soup was served hot and had a great flavor. Overall Value - Excellent. If you are in Mt. Dora and are looking for a lunch that offers a nice atmosphere, good service and very good food at a reasonable price, this is the spot for you. read more

One Flight Up Cafe - Half Roast Turkey with Roast Turkey Breast and Swiss Sandwich - Salad Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

The staff were absolutely wonderful and the amount of seating they have is extensive. You can absolutely count on arriving here and finding a good spot to spread out your things and study. The reason I gotta give this place 3 stars is just the coffee is not good and their food is just ok. Honestly I hate giving this type of review because everything else was wonderful, the environment, the people, it was a great experience. But I am so hung up on the food because if it is indeed a cafe, at least the coffee has to be half decent. The food doesn't need to be gourmet, but you have to get the coffee right. read more

I love this place! We were looking for somewhere with a lighter lunch and this fit the bill. They have appetizers, salads, soups and sandwiches. You first have to walk up a big flight of stairs, thus the name. You pick up a menu and choose your seat and the servers find you. We ate inside at a low four top. The seats have cushions, but there are also spares sitting around as some of them are softer than others. The atmosphere is funky and whimsical, and I truly enjoyed looking around at all the pictures and decorations. There are numerous different rooms, all decorated with interesting things. Our server quickly brought our drinks and then we placed our order. I settled on a cup of tomato basil bisque soup and a half a Turkey and Swiss on whole wheat bread. I don't think we waited 5 minutes and our food was brought out. The plate was appealing, with sides of a pickle and olives and the soup and sandwich looked awesome. The soup was hot and very full of flavor. The sandwich was served on very fresh bread, REAL Turkey and a more than ample amount of Swiss cheese. There was also tomato and lettuce on the sandwich. It was fantastic!!! I would absolutely return here when in the area. read more

One Flight Up Cafe - Me sitting on balcony looking over downtown Mt Dora - Salad Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

Hungry for an early lunch during the Mount Dora Arts Festival, the first place we tried to get into had a line out the door. We kept walking, and I happened to look up and saw people sitting on a balcony eating. We walked up a couple of flights of stairs to a sign that said "seat yourself" so we grabbed two menus and headed out to the balcony. Our waiter had just cleaned the table so we quickly sat down and perused the menu. It clearly was a menu for just the 2 days of the art festival, as there were very, very few items on it. A few sandwiches, a few salads, and some appetizers. I ordered the tuna salad, but I should have said tuna salad *salad* apparently, because I ended up with the the tuna salad sandwich. Which actually was fine - the bread was fresh, and the tuna was tasty having been dolled up with onions and celery. It came with bagged chips and a pickle spear. The best part of the meal, though, was people-watching from the balcony. We never did see our waiter again, but since he had dropped off our check when the food came, that was fine. You pay when you leave at the coffee bar, which thankfully wasn't too busy. I would love to try some of the regular menu items next visit. read more

One Flight Up Cafe - Can't go wrong with a tuna salad sandwich. - Salad Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

One Flight Up Café is a downtown coffee shop and wine bar serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers, desserts, coffee drinks, beer and wine. It was voted as having the best coffee in the area. And yes, as the name would indicate it is one full steep staircase flight up, but with balcony seating overlooking downtown and one of the best views of downtown Mount Dora. I had their Sandwich Combo being one half of a sandwich and a bowl of soup. The sandwich was simple, nothing of any particular note but good enough. The soup however was really very good. Overall, I can say I'm a fan of One Flight Up Café for its really great atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

So disappointing. I always like to give places a chance and a try but honestly they lost me from the very beginning. If you aren't local you are a bit confused on what to do when you enter. We finally asked someone if we needed to be seated or if they would seat us. You seat yourself. Grab a menu. There are no children's menus here (which is fine) but they will offer a grilled cheese if your kids are into those. I wish mine were. My husband and I decided on getting half soup and a sandwich. This also comes with a side of chips. Keep that in mind. I had planned on letting my kids eat my side of chips. We also got the cheese and bean dip appetizer. Service was ok but it was a busy day for them so we let it slide. However, when I ordered my sandwich they asked if I wanted wheat or white bread. I said wheat. Appetizer-- meh. It was A LOT of dip but I have had better cheese dip at a tail gate. It was very basic and lacking flavor. Comes with tortilla chips but not enough. Chicken salad sandwich- Wouldn't get it again. They brought it out on the wrong bread and they would have replaced it for me but I told them I don't like wasting food so I ended up eating it. The chicken is obviously from a can. It was very basic and once again... I can make better. Why am I paying money for this? Tomato soup- awful. Worst soup I have ever had because it tasted like water. When the server came out with our sandwiches I noticed it was missing the chips. I brought it up and he said "do you want me to get those?" .... are we serious? It literally comes with the meal. Why would I not want what I am paying for? SMH All in all.... no. The only alluring thing about this place is the patio view and that's how they reel you in but it's a no for me. I rather make my own food at home. read more

Let's start with the vibe. The art that adorns the walls, the cozy little rooms, each with a different type of decor are part of what defines Mount Dora. There's also the bar/cashier area and the open air front porch so you can look over downtown. Now Add the fact that you can purchase the artwork using various online payment methods and take it home with you after your visit!! OK ... now about the food. I had a half of the Tangy Summer Salad, which had lots of accoutrements like Craisins, walnuts, and tomato and a variety of lettuce along with a very sweet and tangy dressing. Then I had the spinach, mushroom, asparagus quiche which was creamy and lovely. Finally I have to give a shout out to the server who was so friendly and the cook who came out and gave me my meal. I topped off my meal with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc which was chilled perfectly and a very decent pour. Great afternoon Lunch/Brunch. read more

Just stopping by Mt. Dora for my favorite Olive Oil store. Sadly, they did not have the tasting. But still got my favorites. For lunch we stopped by One Flight Up Cafe. And we were so glad we did. Appetizer smoked fish was delicious. Chips and dip salsa was very good. Must taste the outstanding lobster bisque and the chicken salad sandwich. Down that with a nice cold (or 2) stella, and you are in lunch heaven. Service was quick and professional. Servers were very attentive. I love this place. Highly recommend read more

On my first trip ever to Mount Dora, I discovered One Flight Up Cafe. The first thing that attracted me to this place was their terrace!! you get a beautiful view of the Main Street in Mt Dora's downtown area while you enjoy your food. I was visiting with my parents and I was glad we found this good spot for breakfast. They offered a limited breakfast menu, but we were able to get a substantial sandwich. You get to choose the bread you prefer, english muffin, or bagel and your meat and cheese. We also ordered "cafe con leche," coffee with milk, the coffee was very good quality and they were able to accommodate my preference for almond milk. I was really glad about that. You get free coffee refills. The staff was very nice and were constantly checking on us which I appreciate. I do wish they had a more extended breakfast menu, but maybe they are meant to be more of a lunch spot. Either way, I totally recommend a visit and please sit on the terrace, you won't regret it!! read more

Upstairs outside is a great spot to have a lite lunch and a glass of wine. Lite fair and pretty reasonable prices. We started with the cheesy onion dip. Yummy! Very cheesy and the onions gave it a nice sweet flavor. Then I had the half sandwich and half soup. With roast turkey breast and a tomato basil soup. All good and very fresh.

One Flight Up Cafe - Egg ham and cheese Sandwich - Salad Near Me - Mount Dora, Florida

The One Flight Up Cafe was another hotspot listed on the places you must eat at in Mount Dora. The allure of this laid back, low-key restaurant is in its location right on Donnelly Street in the heart of Mount Dora. As the name suggests, you go up one flight of stairs to get to this cafe. Donnelly Street is very busy with shops and restaurants and store fronts with sidewalk displays. You come upon a door and head on up. There is plenty of space inside upstairs but the real draw is the balcony tables. Not only was it sunny and cool out but it gives you a birds eye view of the bustling city below. Almost no one was sitting inside when we arrived and we were lucky to grab an outdoor table as another couple was leaving. It's not the most roomy out there but it works. Our server came around pretty quick. The two things that stood out here were the location and the service. Our server was great. Friendly, attentive and made light, playful conversation. The food however, was just ok and that's reason for the 3-stars here. We ordered the spinach dip as an appetizer and then we split the roast turkey breast and Swiss sandwich. To drink, we each got frozen lemonades. The spinach dip was decent, not the best we've ever had an came with crackers, tortilla chips and vegetables. The sandwich reminded me of something I could have made at home myself. It was a good size but I could have definitely eaten a whole one myself. However, at more than $9 for it, splitting it seemed appropriate. The sandwich came with a bag of lays potato chips as a side. We left having enjoyed our lunch, mostly due to the location, but not really impressed with the food. The frozen lemonade was good! It was tangy, sweet and hit the spot on a sunny afternoon. One Flight Up Cafe is part of the fabric that makes Mount Dora so unique and with its prime location, you should check it out. The ambiance of looking over Mount Dora from this quaint little cafe is worth the experience. read more

Stopped here for lunch while visiting the town of Mount Dora. Yes, we climbed Mt Dora - all 192 feet of her (lol). The town itself is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. One Flight Up Cafe is just that - located on the second floor. Lots of seating upstairs, but the seating on the balcony is limited. Food is very good. Service was just good. My daughter and I both had the 1/2 sandwich and soup combo. My wife and other daughter shared the Brie platter. read more

The immediate draw to this restaurant is is the second floor patio view of Mount Dora's main strip. Another plus is that the patio is dog friendly.

My turkey sandwich was good. The view from upstairs was fun. Prices were decent. Your treated as if your a guest in your aunts house.

Great view. Good place for breakfast. We used a Groupon and saved some money. Despite having only 1 server on Easter Sunday, our food arrived fast. I liked my egg sandwich and coffee. 1960's and 70's tunes on the speaker kept my toe tapping. It was fun to watch Mt. Dora wake up from the second floor vantage point. read more

First time in historic Mount Dora and One Flight Up Cafe. View and service were nice. A bit busy and noisy corner. Food was just ok and pretty basic. We had the Grilled chicken Caesar Salad and Salmon Caesar salad. The chicken was processed type and not fresh grilled chicken. My wife's salmon salad seemed ok. I would probably try the sandwiches next time if we go. read more

The view is great, the wine pours nice. The ham sandwich was mediocre at best. The Chefs salad was pitiful. If you chopped up some iceburg lettuce and packaged cheese, turkey and ham. Two bucks worth of stuff, that's the salad. They didn't even try. One and done for us. The view is nice but that's it. read more

I loved the location of this quaint little coffee shop. Sitting out on the balcony gives you a beautiful view of historic Mt Dora. The staff is very friendly. And that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of three. As far as the food goes - nothing too special on the menu here. Just some basic sandwiches and salads. I went with a Chicken Salad sandwich which was perfectly ok but not elevated in any regard. Same goes for the house salad. I'd say its a worthwhile place for a quick bite at a reasonable price. read more

What a great place to have a quick meal. We were seated immediately, received our drinks quickly and all the servers were friendly and attentive. We had salads with grilled chicken and the chicken salad too. Everything was fresh and delish. I liked eating out on the patio, but there were several rooms where you can choose to sit. We liked the relaxed atmosphere and it was busy, but we were never rushed. read more

Went for lunch with some friends. The menu was basic, salads, soup and sandwiches. My soup of the day was good, my partners lobster bisque was just ok. To be fair, though, he is from New England so expectations are high regarding anything with "lobsta". The Caesar salads were fresh although the grilled chicken included on it was over-done. The reason for the 4 stars vs the honest 3 star review is the ability to people watch from the outside balcony. Our server was pleasant and if there weren't so many other places to try, I might be back for a second shot. read more

Tried this place during the Arts Festival. Wonderful locale and view but food was like something I would make at home and nothing special especially for the price. Had the egg and sausage sandwich on barely toasted English muffin with cheese and the preformed sausage patties you just reheat for large groups at Costco. Actually, I'm not so sure it wasn't a microwaved jimmy dean sandwich. Turkey sandwich was standard on loaf bread and quiche was small portion. Felt like they may not have a full kitchen and everything was either reheated or purchased abs served. Super cute indoor and outdoor dining which is all upstairs. Think it would be fine for a coffee or wine but wouldn't come back for a meal. Total bill for 3 iced teas, 1 chai latte, 1 egg sandwich, 1 turkey sandwich and 2 quiche was $50. read more

Great little place for some soup and sandwiches. Had purchased a Groupon so thought about giving it a try. No elevator so it might take a little bit taking the stairs if you have a difficult time with them. But when you finally get up there the staff was friendly the decor was nice and the food excellent. The lobster bisque was very good, the amount of meat on the sandwich was plentiful. I deducted only one star because of the flight of steps. Great view of Donnelly Street. read more
