This little escape from the heat is right at the front of Universal Studios Florida just after you enter the front entrance. This is a fantastic place to grab a cup of coffee on your way in OR to grab a cold soda and a treat to get yourself ready for the LONG walk through City Walk back to your car. The service is great as is known throughout the park. The pastries are delicious and they even offer a few seasonal items. While I was there they were Halloween Horror Night themed. Like the Horror Log which is essentially cake. I like to grab fresh fruit here and relax for a bit. The A/C here is PRIME. read more

This is probably my favorite spot to eat when I'm at Universal Studios. They have plenty of options that are pretty healthy for a theme park, as well as a nice pastry and dessert case. They also have pretty good coffee options. The service is always great, and I love that it's open late during Halloween Horror Nights. The seating can be limited during peak times, but you can always take your food to go to eat elsewhere in the park. Some of my favorite menu items include the Big Apple Cheese Platter, Little Italy Caprese Platter, and Park Avenue Avocado Toast. The potato salad is wonderful, and you can get it on the side with any sandwich. read more

It was cold outside....a quick coffee and a cinnamon roll sounded like a perfect idea, and it was! The cinnamon roll was filled with warm caramel and hit the spot perfectly to end the day! read more

I love themed restaurants and we made it a point to visit this little spot. The commitment to the theme was mind blowing. I love how it felt like I was on a morning show set! The bright vibrant colors and set up were fun and innovative. And the food! The food was tasty and service was quick and courteous. The pastries were so delicious and the coffee was refreshing. I recommend going early in order to beat the rush. I'm so happy we made this a part of our trip. read more

The Today Cafe is the BEST! When I am done with park adventures, I love to setup shop right there at the corner, soak in the sun and enjoy the rest of the day. Get a coffee or even a caramel latte and plot my next big Hollywood move. Keep Rockin'! #MattJasonRocks #KeepRockin read more

This little cafe has limited seating, and can be a cluster to try to order or pick up a mobile order though the Universal Orlando mobile app. I found it pretty hard to find seating inside as we wanted to avoid the Florida humidity. Though the seating wasn't easy to navigate the food was perfect for a light lunch. As well as the staff was very friendly when interacting to inquire about my mobile order as I had been waiting awhile to pick up. read more

Do I want a New York style sandwich in the middle of Florida heat? Heck yes! Today Cafe (what an odd concept) serves up some pretty dang good sandwiches. They may not be as legendary as When Harry Met Sally, but for in the middle of a theme park and for a relatively reasonable price, I'd eat this anytime. read more

Food was great and customer service was so nice. We had a pleasant conversation with a worker named Emerson who made us feel very welcome. read more

This place was alright. Clean eating options for sure! They had almond milk for my coffee which was great. It was themed inside nicely. Getting the food though took forever and when I ordered there was only one table in there. The fruit cup was great, fresh and sweet. The coffee was good. The salad didn't have real chicken in it and it was dry as dust. You know that emulsified meat product that McDonalds nuggets are made of? Yeah, it was that. I scratcheth my head in confusion. read more

I guess we were starving and didn't take a pic. But we ordered the caprese sandwich which came with a fruit cup. The sandwich was made fresh with plenty of cheese and toppings (loved the addition of sun-dried tomatoes with the regular sliced tomatoes). It needed some seasoning - but was perfect to spilt for two people as a small meal. read more

Today café is a solid easy fast food sandwich place. Everything here is fresh and light which is perfect on a hot day in the park. You can enjoy pastry, sandwich and salads at this place. There's also some grab and go options and dessert like croissant and cookies. We normally eat breakfast at this place cause they have a special menu for breakfast that is really good. This time, my girlfriend took the chicken salads which was great. She also took and almond croissant that she devoured. The place is themed to a fake tv show news channel presenting I think fake news. The service is ok. Everytime I mobile order, it take forever. It's normally faster to wait in line, order, sit down with your number and wait for your food then wait on the side for mobile order. read more

Cleaner tables, faster service, better (fresher food) all could take place at the Today Cafe. Around $14 for a sandwich plus $6 a drink. We took a table outside and waited for the 2pm parade since there were no inside tables. It was soooo hot!!!!! I would pick a different restaurant. :( read more

Amazing service and amazing Ube Puff! Shout out to EMERSON for being so helpful and kind. Would recommend!

Came in for a quick breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. Emerson greeted us and helped us with food choices. He was polite, friendly, and delivered our food to the table. The food was very delicious and light. We had lemon cake, fruit, hand and Gouda croissant, and Mediterranean flat bread. Great way to start out our morning!! Thank you Emerson! read more

Health food and nice dessert options, but limited seating. I highly recommend ordering ahead on the Universal Orlando App. It gets rid of the wait time, but in store the wait isn't too bad. There is limited indoor seating during busy times. I recommend the Acai Bowl, the Avocado Toast and the Overnight Oats! read more

Rude customer service which was surprising because there was no one else in line. They didn't have one of the drinks that was advertised and were upset that I asked for a refund for that item read more

Not sure why this is under 4 stars. Food is amazing: service is amazing + coffee is amazing. They keep the line moving. I'm a former barista and the employee was very gracious about my coffee requests. Had blueberry muffins and they were fresh + delicious! Def will visit again. Ambiance was simple. read more

Today Cafe - Amazing pastries! They also have hot food - Cafes Near Me - Orlando, Florida

A good spot to pop in for quick refreshments, snacks and to take a load off. The service is quick and friendly.

A semi hidden gem! A lot of people actually don't sit and relax here and it's air conditioned! It has comfortable chairs and overall clean. The staff is usually upbeat and friendly. The food is delicious and yes, over priced but they are relatively quick in getting your food out, which if they're busy, they will call out your number rather than bring it out to your table. Overall, great place to get breakfast, coffee, snack or relaxation. read more

Stopped in for something to eat and a drink. Luckily, it wasn't too crowded when we got there but needless to say it was first thing in the morning. There were many options to choose from and everything looked really good. The employee that helped us was nice but I thought it was a little unprofessional that when the cashier asked another employee to get the chocolate eclair that we ordered, she gave her a look like "get it yourself." I'm not sure what their procedures are as to who gets the items and who rings up customers, or if they have a problem with each other, but I felt that it was a little unprofessional to see that. I would come back to try other items as everything looked really delicious. read more

Love this place! The service is great. Very accommodating despite being understaffed.

When I come to Universal Studios I choose to eat at the Today Cafe. Out of all of the options at Universal, I feel like this establishment offers the freshest food. I order the smoked salmon lox bagel & it is absolutely delicious. Such a generous amount of lox on the bagel. Bagel is toasted nicely. Fruit cup or potato salad comes as your side. The price is good considering the price of everything else in the park. read more

This is probably one of the most underrated places to eat in the Universal Parks. They really have some great options, everything from sandwiches to salads to even an açaí bowl! So it's actually pretty healthy stuff, which is hard to find when eating at amusement parks and I really appreciated it. They have a lot of fun assortments of desserts and pastries as well, although you have to be careful what you pick because a lot of them are mass processed stuff so it's not always great tasting or high quality. For example, the key lime tart, it had great flavor but the crust was super soggy because it sat out in the display case for who knows how long. But I got the avocado toast and that was fantastic. You have the option to get fruit with it too, which I'd definitely recommend over the potato salad. There's a nice outdoor seating area too where you can just people watch, and it's fascinating. They do have a dine-in option even though this says otherwise. You can also do an order through the app and they will bring it out to where you're sitting and you don't even have to stand in line. (All prices at theme parks are stupid high so I chose not to comment on that) read more

A good sounding menu but nothing actually lives up to its promise. No table service. Ordering ahead works fine.

My favorite breakfast spot inside of Universal Studios! I make sure to stop here anytime I'm in need of breakfast. My favorite is the everything croissant with ham and cheese and a fruit cup on the side. The service is alright. It's typically slow, which is to be expected at a theme park. I like how the inside is themed like a diner and they play the today show on the TV constantly. It really adds to the experience! read more

The Today Cafe is a good choice for breakfast when you've had your fill of Voo-Doo Donuts and 3 Broomsticks! Nice selection of baked goods and a few breakfast sandwiches. The inside looks super cute with a glistening clean glass counter and TV station looking front ordering. The inside stayed cool in the summer heat of Orlando which was sooooo nice. There is outside seating and if you get there early you can people watch. Just watch out for the birds trying to snag a treat. We were lucky enough to have the early passes so we got great seats outside the second time we had breakfast here. The cafe sits on the Main Street of Universals Island of Adventure right inside the gate. If I remember correctly, it's the first restaurant you come to making it a great stop to fill up before you hit the park. I highly recommend. read more

Went here for breakfast twice during our visit to Universal Studios. It is very close to the main entrance so it's easy to find. It's inside the park itself so a ticket will be needed. The food is decent and the prices aren't bad. Muffins and croissants are cheaper than most hotels at only $4 or $5 each. They're also good and very filling. The staff is good enough and the service is decent as well. It's supposed to be like being on site at a news studio so basic decor nothing famcy, but a decent amount of tables. I would especially recommend coming here for a quick cheap breakfast or snack, especially if you have big lunch or dinner plans later. I still miss the giant chocolate dipped hazelnut creme filled croissant. It had so much creme filling and was so massive that I had to get help finishing it. It was so good and it was only $5.10 including tax. They serve the food on a paper plate, but take out boxes are plastic so I recommend getting a plate. read more

I love that Universal has been moving in the right direction by providing vegan options in many places, and several of them have been really great. This was my first time dining at Today Cafe and came specifically for the vegan sandwich. According to the menu, this sandwich should have roasted Portobello, peppers, zucchini, carrots, vegan jalapeno cheese, and sun-dried tomato pesto. While I understand that sometimes ingredients run out, I think that the customer should be informed of that before purchasing. My sandwich, as pictured, had 2 pieces of Zucchini and one mushroom, along with the pesto. For nearly $15, I would recommend my fellow vegans going elsewhere - especially if you're actually hungry. read more

If I could give a 0 I would. I ordered a flatbread and piece of cake , beautiful cake in case wasn't what I got the gentleman grabbed a different one and said it was just decorated differently- bait n switch . which the icing looked off. I said awe I wanted what I pointed to .. On vacation spending $6.00 on cake and asking for what I want seemed too much to accommodate. Staff was unprofessional, also asking for a lid for coffee we were given a sigh as if we were asking too much by Nicole . Disappointed... read more

I always get the pastrami sandwich and my fiancee always gets the avocado toast here and we are never disappointed, and I actually enjoy the Today Show stuff they play in the cafe! I like that it's close to the front of the park too and it's a very nice place to people watch before you get back to it with the rides and whatnot! read more

A decent breakfast. The food was good at this location and it tasted good. They have a good amount of fresh food at this location. The service was decent because the staff were friendly and polite and most importantly helpful. The ambiance was a news station restaurant. The restaurant is reasonably clean. Overall, I thought the restaurant was decent. For the reasons I have stated in this review, I highly encourage you to give this place a try. read more

Favorite spot in universal studios. Great atmosphere and food. Laid back comfortable seating and great service.

You really gotta like Today Cafe to sit inside. The sandwich I had, The Bulls & The Bears was excellent but having to hear the Today show while I was eating was a little annoying. Nothing against the show but I go to a theme park to escape the reality, and to be honest the Today show isn't my top choice in the real world either. But the sandwich was great. The brisket was so moist and tender. It paired well with the horseradish cream. Everything about it was a smash hit! I imagine this is a great place for both breakfast and lunch! I'd just grab my food and eat it outside. read more

A huge improvement over the old bakery that was in this location prior, this cafe inside Universal Studios has a great selection of sandwiches, salads and pastries. I had the grilled cheese and apple Sandwich and while it was very messy in preparation, it was good with a good selection of fruit in the fruit cup. Prices are high but normal for theme parks. You can expect long waits to order and then for your food, but it is a good option for something lighter to eat in the park. read more

Our go to place to stop and sit for a bit and enjoy some lunch at Universal Studios is Today Cafe. There is something for everyone on the menu from turkey and roast beef sandwiches to salads and desserts. It does take a little time to stand in line then order but you can sit inside or outside with a number for your order to be brought to you. There are good beers, wines, and coffee to enjoy while you wait. read more

Was told there was going to be gluten free and vegan options here so opted to go here while my family went to check out another restaurant. There is limited space and seating so you may or may not get a spot to sit so have a plan B in case you can't eat your food at their location. I stood in teh long line and got up to the check out place. The lady working the register was super friendly, chatty and just overall nice. However there was not much for options to eat. There was a salad with beets and root vegetables. And then there was overnight oats or a small cup of fruit. Everything was WAY over priced. WAY over priced and portions were extremely small. I was super hungry after not eating all day and was so sad to find all i was going to be able to have was the overnight oats and even then that is not really in my normal for what I would eat. Masks are required until you sit down to your table to eat. read more

Pros: The best food in the park, by far. The cannoli was DELISH. The Carnegie was good - but too big for me, and a little dry. The potato salad was much better than I'd thought! I'm not usually a fan. My vanilla latte was also great. I love the style of the hot cups. Cons: the table assignment methodology is spotty at best. The cashier had trouble dining things up correctly both times I went. The line was only medium fast. Once they ran out of a sandwich my friend ordered it, but they compensated her by giving her a free pastry - so no stars were affected by this issue. read more

They rendered amazing customer service. Grateful because I have celiac & the gluten allergy. It is not easy to find restaurants or places who will have the patience to assist. The young girl at the entrance was so accommodating & nice. It is 7:08PM & the girl at the entrance super nice. Wow! Places like this not easy to find.
