    Hot honey bacon maple donut
    Misty M.

    I'm pretty sure I just had an out of body experience in a donut shop - Shaka's cronuts are seriously life changing, not to mention the variety of other options inside this cute shop. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted and served quickly despite the long line. The hot bacon maple donut was perfect, the fruity pebble one transported me to my childhood...but the cronut...did I mention it yet? Holy smokes - pillowy laminated layers that give a half-baklava, half-fluffy yeast donut vibe that explodes with deliciousness. The bright and airy, tropical aesthetic just added to the enjoyment of this sunny Sunday visit. We'll be back!!

    Very decedent! They have multiple cake donut options, but mainly they have many choices for the soft fluffy melt in your mouth type of donut. They had multiple filled donut options. My favorite that was available at the time of my visit was the apple filled donut. It had chunks of fresh apple in there and tasted like an apple fritter. Speaking of fritter, they had a pineapple fritter, but I didn't care too much for it. It tasted like a regular donut with extra sugar. They said they were actively working on reformulating to make it more pineapple forward, so I'm excited to try it again once it changes. We tried the blueberry cheesecake donut and my kiddo loved it. If you are a fan of cheesecake, you will like it. Their classic donut is delicious, and every donut is massive. It took my family of 3 multiple days to finish 4 donuts. They also serve ice cream there. The flavors sounded fun and interesting. My husband tried the banana cream pie and blueberry cheesecake and said they tasted like the real deal. The parking lot shares with a very popular local restaurant, so parking is tough. Luckily they do have a few spots reserved just for them. The space has seating outside and inside if you choose to stay. It's spacious, modern, and clean. The staff were so kind and very knowledgeable. They seemed passionate about their flavors and were very friendly. I love when these spots feel like a family already on your first visit. I'm not a big donut fan, but I'm definitely going back to see what else they come up with.

    Yummmmmmm, I know I need to say more than just yummmmmmm but that's the best word to describe my experience. They have locally baked sourdough bagels that are phenomenal. You can even buy a 5 pack of these bagels and they are amazing! The customer service from entry to the line cook to departure was all welcoming. It was bright and clean and a great spot to grab a coffee and read a bit. I had the BEC on a bagel and it was SO good!!! My friend had the donut holes and a Boston cream pie donut and she said both were delicious, not too sweet and super fresh. We will definitely return (lots of parking too!)

    Clean, delicious fluffy donuts, friendly service! Will definitely be back to try ice cream.

    Shaka Donuts re-opened to a new location on Curry Ford in the Hourglass District on July 1st! I stopped by to check out the new space since I missed having their donuts. Since it's a new space, it's very clean, open, and inviting. I ordered the Strawberry Wafer Donut and the Samoa Donut! The good: Both donuts were tasty! The Strawberry Wafer Donut had a delicious strawberry flavor, and I enjoyed the wafers on top. The Samoa Donut tasted exactly like the Girl Scouts Samoas Cookies. If you love coconut, then you'll enjoy this one a lot. The bad: Nothing at all! Overall, I'm glad that Shaka Donuts re-opened, and can't wait to return to try the other flavors such as the Banana, Creamsicle, and Boston Creme Donuts!

    First time at the new location and we have always been a fan of Shaka! We stopped by after dinner at F&D, love the convenience of having dinner and then walking over for some dessert! We were all stuffed but our toddler wanted ice cream, so we got him ice cream! The interior was so pretty and inviting, counter was clean and service was great. 2 recommendations: 1. covers for the ice cream cup if taking to go- my toddler only had a couple of bites and we were all so full from dinner so wanted to bring it home to go. Luckily we live a short drive away but would've been nice to have a lid. 2. Trash can- there was only a small trash can on the counter, which seemed more for spoons after trying flavors of ice cream. My toddler dropped a little ice cream and we cleaned it up with napkins and had trouble finding the trash can (the little one was full). We would definitely come back again, a little hungrier next time to fully enjoy all the treats!

    Nice area, not to busy and a couple of other very good hang outs on the same block. Donuts are all lights out. Huge donuts, fluffy. Tons of filing in the filled donuts. Blueberry cake donut is a must try. They even have a few beers on tap. I could hang out here all day drinking beer and eating donuts and I would start with a breakfast sandwich made from donuts. If I lived closer I would be much fatter than I already am.

    Donuts are so good. We had the P&J and an egg bagel. Both delicious. What made the experience even better was how friendly the girls were. Would definitely come back !!

    I've been a Shaka Donuts fan since their first shop in the SoDo District, and so happy that their new home is nearby! This location is light and bright, with a friendly and welcoming staff. I love their malasades, donuts, and especially their cronuts. You can't go wrong with ordering anything. Their ice cream is also house made (I didn't get a scoop this visit, but trust me, it's creamy and delicious). Highly recommend you stop by for a sweet treat!

    I am glad to see that this new location for Shaka Donuts is open. I had been to the old location only once, but I was really impressed with the donuts. I do not eat donuts that often. Usually, it is on the weekend for something to go with a Sunday brunch. My visit was on a Saturday afternoon. It was not crowded, but business was steady. The dining area and the service counter is clean, the employees are friendly and provide great service, and the parking lot has easy access from Curry Ford Road. I could swear I heard a "Pick me! Pick me!" while I looked at the variety of donuts available. I decided on the Krispies donut and the Cronut. I tried the Cronut at Shaka's former location, and it was just as delicious the second time around. The Krispies donut is delicious as well. An iced donut with a piece of a krispy rice bar sitting atop the center. I asked the employee working the counter as to whether they had the French Toast donut. One I had tried at their old location. She told me that they did not, but that some of their donuts are seasonal. If they should bring that back, give that one a try. I will most likely stop in again in the near future. And hopefully, they will have some new, seasonal donuts available. "Pick me! Pick me!"

Southern comfort food as a general rule just doesn't sit well with me anymore and I'm going to be very transparent and bare my soul a little bit here but here goes . . . Ever since being on GLP1's, I've developed a really complicated relationship with comfort food. Foods that are rich, buttery, creamy or fatty now hit me completely differently than they used to. It's almost like my body immediately goes into shutdown mode afterwards. I feel heavy, exhausted and like I've instantly ballooned even if the portions themselves aren't massive. For the longest time I honestly thought it was simply the richness of the food itself but now I realize it's because my digestion just can't process heavier comfort foods the same way anymore. Suddenly... it all makes sense. The food itself here is VERY good. Properly seasoned, well prepared, beautifully presented... absolutely no complaints there whatsoever. I simply have to become more mindful and strategic now with my menu selections no matter WHERE I dine. I chose the Creekstone Farm's NY Strip with the fabulous bone marrow which I KNOW is supposed to be incredibly nutrient rich and good for you... but honestly... it just about put me under afterwards. This dinner happened thanks to Ronnald M. and his sister Teris and it was our pre-opera dinner outing before seeing the fabulous Merry Widow at the Dr. Phillips Center. The Monroe is honestly a very good pre-concert restaurant choice because of both the atmosphere and location... I'm just personally learning that this new GLP1 reality means I can't approach menus the way I used to anymore.

This is one of the most friendly and welcoming businesses in central Florida, and I absolutely adore them for it. This place is counter order with full table service. I believe before the pandemic that you self served drinks, but the full service change has definitely been for the better. They've got a rotating list of specials that you can see on their instagram too. This place always delivers quality food. Their fried chicken is excellent, I've never seen an overcooked egg, their grits are amazing, their gravies are perfect, their biscuits are to die for, and their Mac n cheese is creamy delicious goodness. I haven't tried their lunch menu myself because I can't bring myself to not order breakfast. Between the Minnie pearl, three little pigs, seventh trimester, their specials, and even their sausage sandwich, nothing on a lunch menu could ever tempt me away. And don't even get me started on their bakery! Their bakery is a separate counter with cakes, cookies, handpies, brownies, and whoopie pies. Their selection is rotating and I've genuinely never been disappointed. Usually I have to take their stuff to go because I'm so full from breakfast, and it's usually pretty rich. This place is an Orlando staple and I hope they're open and successful for as long as they wish to be. I know I'll be back as long as they're still cooking.

Their signature item is fried chicken. We ordered the Fried Chicken and Doughnuts. It comes with 2 pieces of chicken, 2 doughnuts and a side of mashed potatoes for $32. We thought it was a perfect meal to share between two because each person gets a piece of fried chicken and a doughnut. The chicken is extra greasy and topped with powdered sugar. It was very good but it still does not rate as highly as Publix or KFC for me. The doughnut was great. I would compare it to a fresh glazed from Krispy Kreme. Service was excellent. We were seated immediately, and greeted at our table by a friendly and efficient server. Overall, everything went well. The prices are high but this is expected due to the location. I would definitely return to try more of the menu.

It was kind of like a virgin apple mojito and it was really good and refreshing. The pernil was excellent as usual: well sauced and tender and juicy. The churrasco was beautifully cooked and seasoned. They always knock it out of the park here with their meats. The plantains were of course delicious as usual, and the service was great. My only comment is that I could've sworn that this place had Alfajores a few years ago. I could be wrong, but I vaguely recall them being delicious and I was sad to not see them on the menu this time. Any way you roll the dice, you won't regret coming to sofrito. They're quick, it's well priced, and the food has never disappointed me in my 7 years of going here.

Everything was was very good, with the standout being the fries; I know that truffle essence flavor isn't for everyone but it worked really well for me in the fry sauce. My dates pasta was also very good, the pesto sauce was zesty and complimented it well. And I really like the olive oil cake with mascarpone, super light and perfectly sweet. The very minor issues were that the fried chicken was pretty deeply fried and way harder than expected, which I don't mind but may not be your thing. Devil's food cake at the bottom of the affogato was also not as sweet as I would have liked. Overall a really enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend.

They obliged and even gave her a Bleu Cheese Caesar salad on the side. Briarpatch knows how to impress as well as cater to the needs of the customer! I ordered one of my favorites, the Brown Rice Bowl and it was fresh and more than filling for lunch. Various flavored mimosas were enjoyed also. I went again last week with local friends as all three of us enjoy this place (and its mimosas!!) One friend tried the Chunky Chicken Salad on the menu (seasonal fruits and berries with zucchini bread sandwiches) and commented on the presentation (which Briarpatch is also well known for) and the freshness of the fruit. She especially enjoyed the zucchini sandwiches! Her husband ordered the Roast Beef Sandwich as it is one of his favorites on the menu. He devoured every bite of it and was very pleased with the tenderness of the beef and the flavor of the au jus. I ordered the Short Rib Benedict as I eyed it a few weeks back. It did not disappoint! Plenty of shredded, perfectly cooked short rib was on a bed of crispy hash browns. Two poached eggs covered in hollandaise sauce sat nicely on top of this amazing dish. It was heaven! Based on the above, I trust you can understand why I love this place. Outdoor seating, exemplary service each and every time I visit and food that is picture-perfect and tastes outstanding. What more could you ask for?! I highly recommend the Briarpatch!
