Very friendly. Great coffee. Made you feel welcomed and even with excited grandkids. Was there during a car show on the street outside.

I was very excited to try Propogate after finding it on Door Dash. The other reviews sounded so promising & I loved the vibes in the photos. Parked my car & couldn't find the shop. No exterior sign at all. Found my way inside and it took a few moments to be acknowledged. That's ok, baristas were busy, I get it. I was slightly underwhelmed at the dark interior. It was no where near as clean or charming as I had expected. Once greeted, I asked if I could have my Americano in a mug instead of a to-go cup. [Insert confused face here]. Apparently this was a tough request. Once we cleared this up, payment was processed and I took a seat at a booth. Coffee order was brought out in a small plastic cup. Yes- plastic cups. Mmmm, hot liquid served in plastic is my fav. (I'm kidding of course) worse yet, the coffee was straight up awful. Truly, it was bad and I hate to even say this. I know a small biz needs all the love it can get and I REALLY wanted to love this place. I even had an extra shot of espresso added and this drink wasn't even as good as a gas station. I'm a huge espresso lover. I have a fancy machine at home but I love to support coffee shops when I'm out running errands. There are very rare times that I have negative comments. Sadly, this was one of those rare occasions. On the bright side- clean restrooms & fun art on the walls. And I was able to snap some cute shots with a retro filter. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience here, especially as someone who has worked in specialty coffee and understands how important customer service and proper training are. When it was my turn to order, the barista at the register didn't greet me or acknowledge me before walking away from the register to start making drinks. A woman who appeared to be training him then had to redirect him back to the register because he wasn't yet trained on the drink he was attempting to make. I completely understand that new employees need time to learn, but this seemed like a situation where a trainer should have stepped in and taken more of an active role in assisting the customer. When I tried to order a breakfast sandwich, I was told it could only come on a bagel, despite there being other bread options listed on the menu. I accepted that and chose a bagel, but when I asked if I could substitute provolone for cheddar, I was simply told, "That's just how it comes, you can't change it." The response felt dismissive, especially when the employee clearly wasn't sure of the answer. I have no issue with someone being new -- everyone has to learn -- but this experience made it clear that the training and customer-service process could use some improvement. A new employee should have adequate support from a trainer, particularly when they're interacting directly with customers. I hope management takes this as constructive feedback because the experience could have been much better with proper guidance and a simple, welcoming customer interaction. The only positive was the interior was cute because of the plants. But it was super humid and hot in there easily 80 degrees read more

Propagate Social House is such a cool little spot. I stopped by and tried the garlic and chive cream cheese and it was seriously so good full of flavor and not too heavy. The bagels were perfect and you can tell everything is made with care. The music adds to the vibe, and I love that they always have different things going on like pop ups, markets, and social events. It feels like a place you actually want to hang out at, not just grab food and leave. Heads up: come early because they run out of their specialty cream cheeses fast, especially the garlic and chive. Definitely worth it though. read more

Came here bc the plant theme caught my attention and Hall on 5th is across the street. Overall my fave section was the expansive outside patio with shade. I loved how it was decked out for Fall. Lots of Pumpkins and mums. It's a great spot especially at night time for some drinks and music. They even put some tables under trees for perfect shade. We walked inside and they have booths, tables and cushy chairs. They serve breakfast and sandwiches. I looked on the online menu which had a drink that was not on the physical menu. They still had the sauce to make it. I ordered a coco nana matcha which was matcha, coconut water which he used milk, and house made banana syrup. It was good but I opted for the small one. They were very nice to make sure they had the last of it and made it for me and delivered it to my table. It was very cute and quaint coffee, drink spot with a dog friendly outside patio. read more

It was okay, with couple hiccups here and there. First we are told that there isn't hot coffee available and then are asked if we want the latte hot or iced.. a little confusing. Then there was a bit of confusion with orange juice actually being tangerine juice, which is fine just not the same! Cream cheese was sparse on both bagel sandwiches. The good: -Food was filling and the latte was good! -cute little local spot read more

Stopped in here to have breakfast and coffee with my sister. I love all the plants the plant area that they have. It is a smaller establishment but there was plenty of seating when we popped in. Coffee was balanced and good. It looks like you can also buy KOS beans there too. We ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwich and a Croque Monsieur. The sandwiches were what you would expect. All in all we had a lovely catch up time! I have seen some special events they host here but have never attended but hope to sometime! The person behind the counter made great coffee drink recs! read more

I'm only sad I didn't come here before. Such a hidden gem! You order at the front, they take all your items to you. The staff is so friendly and helpful with any questions and accommodations for allergies/preferences. Their latte is amazing, coming from someone who is super picky about their coffee. The New York style bagel with everything seasoning, and Asiago cheese is my new favorite! It melts in your mouth and it's not super huge, it's the perfect size for brunch. My family and I have fallen in love with this place! Thank you Propagate for being a great addition to our brunches. read more

10/10 coffee and sandwich this spot has never disappointed and has grown into a true community hub. We hung out and had our lunch in the cafe, but there is a great covered outdoor seating area. The serve Kos coffee -another local fave! The staff were helpful and went above and beyond with us. It's hard to find a place to get a good sandwich (not a sub!) and this spot is hard to beat! read more

Ive reviewed Propagate in the past, i wanted to add a few photos of the ambiance on Fridays. This is a mini Winter Garden and its on an upswing!. Jo is one of the owners and they'll be growing out a new facility across the street. Its really cool seeing a location that is (was) a hidden secret (gem). In 5 years, this will be really a destination for Greater Orlando area. Only had drinks, but the ladies behind the bar were awesome as always Great location and a must visit. read more

We stumbled upon this charming little coffee shop while staying in town for just one night--and what a lucky find! This place has soul. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and the asiago bagel with garlic and rosemary spread. That bagel was a standout--freshly toasted with a golden crust, perfectly chewy inside, and slathered with a creamy, aromatic spread that hit all the right savory notes. I could've easily eaten another one on the spot! The only miss for us was the Café con Leche. Being Hispanic and from Miami, we're used to a stronger, creamier version. This one tasted a bit watered down and lacked the boldness we expected. Still, a place with this much personality deserves to be explored beyond just one drink. They've got a menu full of creative signature drinks that we'd love to try next time--we chalk the coffee miss up to personal taste. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and skip the chains. Support this local gem. If we're ever back in town, we'll definitely stop by again--probably heading straight for that asiago bagel. read more

Came here on a Sunday with a couple of friends and a fur baby. We sat outside which was shaded and had plenty of tables and chairs and also a bar you can walk up to and order from as well as order from your table with a QR code. I had the avocado toast which was delicious and since I am pregnant I was able to ask the bartender to make me a mocktail even if there wasn't any on the menu! We had a great time and enjoyed everything! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday morning to get coffee and food to go. They were getting ready for a charity event for people in the community. I placed my order at the counter. The person who took my order was very patient with my indecisive husband. After a short wait, I got my latte and breakfast sandwich. The latte was pretty good. My breakfast sandwich was egg and cheese on a croissant. Nothing fancy was it was good. Looks like a cool spot. Would love to go back and eat there and chill for a bit. read more

I love the homey atmosphere of Propagate, with plants that can be purchased, lack of lights, a refrigerator to purchase beveled fresh coffee being brewed! The staff is friendly and explains the menu very well. There are breakfast pastires to purchase, including empanadas from the local business of, 'The Gnarly Cuban'. Propagate has some inside seating, and outside seating along with a huge deck for larger groups, that also includes a bar that serves alcoholic beverages later in the day. This is a good stop for breakfast, lunch and evening vibes! Review 3/2024 read more

Propagate Social House - Banana pudding Matcha with the breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Apopka, Florida

This place sounded very impressive by the reviews and the photos. When u stepped in I thought nice little unassuming place. But no it looks like what it is - an average coffee shop with a few little menu items. The service wasn't bad, just was not great. I feel like it's trying to be more than what it is. I ordered simplicity. A hot Earl Grey tea. I said I wanted to add honey and lemon to it MYSELF. I don't know what that was. Not very hot. And I drink Earl Grey regularly, simple guy. Never had any that tasted like that. And they put the honey in for me. I got a turkey and Swiss on French rol (turned out to be a toasted croissant). And that is all that was on the sandwich. Supposedly there was some sort of mustard. I did enjoy the pleasant outdoor seating where I wrote this review. Very pleasant and relaxing. If you live in the area handy spot to drop in I guess. Certainly not worth driving out if the way. And they take their time with the orders like a more upscale place. But what they bring to the table doesn't line up. read more

As a first time customer on a Saturday, I was confused on how to get a table. With no signs or servers around, I waited in the coffee line just to be told it's open seating. We sat down outside waiting for someone take our order. I eventually found out we had to order at the bar. At this point I'm laughing to myself ! The drinks took so long to come out, our food came out first. My Bloody Mary was EXTREMELY SALTY. (I'm a BM connoisseur) I couldn't get it down. The food is Meh... The deli sandwich is previously prepared, The breakfast sausage was previously frozen. Im told even the scrambled egg is premade, that's why I couldn't have an over easy. My 3 stars is for the ambiance! Loved the DJ, Decor and very friendly staff, It's hip and dog friendly. I will update my review when I try their coffee/teas. That seems to be their forte. read more

Paying a pretty penny for two sandwiches and drinks really makes you question the "convenience" factor of getting food out these days. If charging that much, the quality, portions, and service should match -- lately, they just don't. Compared to when this first opened, the sandwiches seem smaller, the coffee is kind of bland for a "coffee shop," little mistakes repeatedly get made, and the overall experience feels like it's missing the mark. Looks great from the outside and online, but what you actually get disappoints. Which again I know mistakes happen, but come on. With prices going up everywhere, I feel it's fair to expect places to get the basics right. When you leave thinking you could've made something better for a fraction of the cost, it's not worth trying to justify coming back. Pictured: the cortadito online vs what I received. read more

I really like this coffee shop, but for the past few months every time I come here they have loud club-like music playing on the patio. It kind of kills the vibe for me. It's so loud you have to yell to talk to who you're with, and it just seems more like a bar than a coffee shop. I wouldn't mind it at night, but at 11am on a Sunday it's too much. I'd rate this somewhere between a 3-4 stars, but I'm rounding up. I love the patio and the bar, I just miss the relaxed coffee shop feel it used to have. read more

We have returned to Propagate many times in the last year or so. Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Great place to enjoy live music, comedy, magic shows. Food is brilliant, cocktails are brilliant, they are pet friendly (brilliant) Make sure you stop by if you are in the Apopka area! read more

Though this place doesn't look like much from the outside, the food and drink make up for it. Plus they have an amazing outside seating area. I came in for breakfast, but would love to come back when there is more going on the afternoon or evening. The service and recommendations were on point! I may have found a new favorite drink in a peanut butter latte! read more

We popped in for a coffee and we decided to try their summer menu. I had the Elvis Latte that was flavored with banana and had actually peanut butter and a hint of cinnamon. I never had peanut butter in a latte before and I loved it. My partner had the Salty Apopkhan and it was like a salty caramel flavor. The setting had various tables indoors and outdoors. They also had a wide variety of plants that were all for sale. The outside seating deck area was large and they had a sign for a Friday night market which I will like to come back and check out. Service was fast and friendly. Will come back again read more

We moved to the area from down south two months ago and we've already been to Propagate Social House and their Shade House no less than 15 times. This is our safe place. Lox sandwich and coffee? Phenom. Service? The bar at Shade House is filled with the BEST ladies. Vibe? It's vibin. If you're looking for a good craft beer, their selection is always changing and focuses on local brews for about $6 a pop. Propagate itself is home-y, small and unassuming, filled with plants, and filled with the smell of coffee. If you're looking for something a little more upbeat, on the weekends they open up the Shade House on the deck and have live music and FANTASTIC cocktails. 10/10 I live here now. read more

I've been here a few times and they've food was what motivated the return visits. I can appreciate a place that has non pork breakfast options. Today's visit, however caused some disappointment. I ordered the turkey sandwich on a croissant with cheese and arugula (Croque Monsieur). I asked what it came with and was told it usually comes with chips but we're out. I followed up with a couple questions regarding an alternative to prompt the cashier to consider the logic in them not offering a replacement and still charging full price but she didn't pick up what I was putting down. My friend also had a sandwich and both came out lonely on a plate with nothing else by their side. I don't know that there was an apology but honestly a guesture would have gone way further than an apology. The irony is I started to bring chips from home because I didn't knownifnthey carried them because chipa are that important to me when eating a sandwich. A special shout out to my lavender honey matcha which was delightful. read more

So this is in a tiny plaza, some parking...it was delicious! I preferred the other items versus the empanada type things.

Amazing Bagels & coffee , nice chill vibe , cute place with lots of plants for sale too

A co worker recommended this place and I decided to try it out. After looking at reviews some good and bad I decided to take a shot at it. Orders- pork sausage, egg and no cheese on a asiago bagel and a bacon, egg and cheese on a new Yorker bagel which is asiago and everything seasoning mixed. Plus a merry and bright coffee- white hot mocha with peppermint. Total was $24.00 Positives- the little hole in the wall coffee shop is super cute, cozy and a good place I can see myself getting school work done. The area looks super clean too. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Reviews on food and beverage -my sausage bagel was only good because if the bagel itself, the pork was dry and the egg was as someone mentioned it...like a wawa egg patty. The garlic aioli adds way too much flavor along the seasoned bagels selections they have. The bacon bagel my spouse had said the same about the garlic aioli, although she did enjoy her sandwich it was a nice bread, egg and bacon ratio. Although we BOTH agree that our sandwiches were not worth $9 each. My coffee tasted like water and a squirt of white mocha. I tasted no peppermint. I really wanted to like the coffee here at least but its a no go for me. My spouse and I did notice that staff was eating over the coffee makers and sandwich prep area which I am pretty sure is a huge sanitary concern. I give mad respect for two staff members that did leave the counter to eat and drink their coffee. I hope this review helps! I hear they do some pretty cool things with plants which is super awesome! read more
