Ambiance is that of a small town coffee shop- quiet with plenty of people sitting together enjoying coffee/food. Every time I come here, I get the drink that tastes like an almond joy. Love it!

Just Love Coffee Cafe is located in a strip mall in Brandon. The decent ratings and pictures of the…read morelake out back drew me in to try out this coffee chain for the first time. Unfortunately, the seating area out back with views of the lake was infested with insects, but there's plenty of indoor seating. The iced mocha (3.5/5) I ordered was decent, but nothing better than other chain coffee shops. Service (4.5/5) was incredibly kind and friendly, but the seating inside with all the metal chairs was incredibly uncomfortable (they should look into getting more comfortable or cushioned seating). Their menu of waffles and prepared food items seemed to be what sets them apart, as I observed several people enjoyed what looked like delicious breakfast items.

I have currently been obsessed with Foxtail's holiday drinks specifically the gingerbread banana…read morelatte and also the crème brûlée latte. I place my orders through the app so when I get there, my drink is usually ready. Inside it's definitely a hotspot for people to work as you look around you can see people on laptops or tablets studying and it's usually pretty relaxed inside. Also The staff is very friendly. Yesterday I ordered my daughter a cake pop as well as my latte but unfortunately, they were out of the flavor she chose so when I got there, they greeted me and explained to me what was going on, but already had a cookies and cream cake pop ready in case she wanted it which she did and she enjoyed the chocolate cake with the cookies and cream icing cake pop. :) I will definitely be back.

I always love blind tiger…read more There's one by my house and this once is just as good. I'm so happy this is conveniently located in the mall. I got a matcha with lavender syrup and oat milk. It was delicious. This is definitely a grab and go place, not many places to sit, but being in the mall I expect most people are grabbing a drink to walk around with. Service is super friendly and they have serve yourself water, which is always nice. If you are looking for coffee or tea, definitely come here. Yes there's a coffee shop in the bookstore close by, but I'd always recommend stopping here instead.

I had a feeling their food was going to be good. I was wrong...it was better than I expected…read more I wasn't familiar with this restaurant, but I noticed it a few weeks ago while staying at the hotel next door. At the time, I chose another spot on the strip, but this time I decided to give them a chance. The place is average sized, nicely decorated, and the tables are well spaced out. Even though they were busy, everything was clean and well kept. You can tell the locals love this place. And now, so do I. I ordered the carne asada bowl with extra grilled onions and peppers, plus an extra serving of shrimp. Yup, I went all in, and I have zero regrets. The carne asada was juicy and tender, the rice perfectly cooked, and the grilled shrimp was delicious. This bowl was a winner, and I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the Tampa area. Lorita's, please come to Orlando!

Excellent location as it just a short walk from a Hilton, so it was perfect for us…read more They were really nice and flexible with customizations. I got the super burrito. What really detracted from my experience was the carne asada was really tough. Overall, it was just okay, not sure why they have such a high review.

It's in a stand alone building, right next to a large apartment complex. The turn is very easy to miss on your first visit, even with GPS. But once you've been there, you'll never miss it again. Your tastebuds will lead you home. When I got there, early on a Thursday morning, the place was humming. There are no tables or booths-it's take out only... and people were whizzing in-then whizzing out with big boxes or bags. That was a very good sign. But soon, I didn't notice the other people (cue the music montage)... I was mesmerized-transfixed, even... by all the goodies. Everything from delicate coconut pastries to corn casserole to fruit tarts/tortes, to chicken empanadas, to fancy cakes to big, puffy/fluffy cheese loaves... all beautifully displayed and labeled. It was a feast for the senses. I couldn't stop taking photos! I also couldn't decide what to get, but finally blurted out something about the corn casserole and quickly added the coconut cocada and pan bolo (guava). I am happy to report that everything tasted as good as it looked. As the 80s ballad declared: "the search is over"... I have found my favorite bakery, I love that it has both sweet and savory items. I will be back again and again. But not just for the food. It's the service! The woman helping me was absolutely delightful. She was warm and friendly and helpful and full of good suggestions. She was sunshine. That's something you can't put in a display case or add to a recipe.. Ricopan, you're a star! I'll be back! P.s. private parking lot-fair prices-very clean and they also sell coffee-maybe other drinks, too.

MOUTH MAGIC Happens here! Stop right now....push directions…read moreand go to Moon Mountain immediately! There is so much to try at this treasure shop! Are you feeling like a power bowl, a coffee, a vape, a matcha, Kratom, kava....it's all here! Not only is it here, it is delicious and served up by an awesome team led by a very cool owner. I have always disliked matcha (and I've tried it all over the world...) I mentioned that to the owner and he said "Nooooooo- you've not had it made the right way!" And he gave me an awesome education about matcha. Even shared the one he was making so I could experience it the way God intended....with an "ahhhhh" , a smile, and a chocolate cold foam mustache! Perfection! It didn't taste like dirt, it tasted like a chocolate covered strawberry in liquid form! We intended to pop in for a coffee, stayed for a coffee, a matcha, an education, and the cool vibes put out by the folks here. They actually talk, smile, laugh and joke with their new friends (aka. customers) which is a very nice change from some places you go these days. Thanks so much for the magical mouth magic Moon Mountain...we will be back soon! You have created a Lunartic!

I friend recommended this place for their coffee and homework time. So I proceeded to do the same today. The music is THE best, I loved every song they have put on. They have a guitar for any artist to play and many drink options like kava tea, loose leaf, coffee, smoothies, beer, sodas and more! The barista/bartender Zoey was super sweet! She answered all my newbie questions and recommendations. I tried their iced latte with coconut and caramel which was DELISH. The coffee was smooth with a strong flavor which I like, but not bitter. I will for sure be back! This is my fav spot now for homework sesh time in the Brandon area.
