    I've been to a different location previously, and hadn't particularly cared for the food I had. But a friend wanted to meet up halfway, so she picked this location and I figured now was as good a time as any to give it another shot. The location is cute enough, but if you have any kind of religious trauma, be warned--Jesus stuff and scripture is everywhere. The ordering is kinda weird because you can order with a QR code OR on an ordering kiosk OR at the counter. The workers all seemed annoyed to be there. It didn't seem like the tables were being cleaned off very well. My breakfast was fine, standard--nothing to write home about. The iced coffee was good, thankfully much better than the last time I came. I realized the drink came standard with 3 shots of espresso and was able to request only two. I honestly have no plans to return in the future but it's not bad.

    Stopped here after a class and I was one of the first people here, it just opened. They have a kiosk service to order your food and a cashier as well. I ordered the pumpkin spice cold foam latte , it was good. I'll have to come back for the food.

    Stopped by here to meet some friends on Mother's Day actually. Wait wasn't too bad and it wasn't too busy but it was around 12:30ish. Staff were super friendly and the food was good. I liked their iced coffees and the flavors. Overall a cute place that I would be willing to go to again and recommend to friends and family.

    What a beautiful coffee shop! I love it here. It's perfect for a to go order or a nice sit down brunch or lunch if desired. Food is decadent and portions are very large ! The only miss is when you place your order you have to get up to get it , it's not brought to the table which for me today would've been nice since I had my little one with me. We enjoyed our cinnamon roll lattes and brunch . And of course will be back .

    Hello, Vanessa's calling

    Vanessa's Coffee Shop has been on my list for months. We finally made it. It is cute place. Aesthetic you would say, that serve great food and delicious coffee. We ordered Sunrise Tacos, 3 tacos with your choice of meat, scrambled eggs, pico de gallo, queso fresco, mayo-cilantro, avocado & sour cream. Also the Happy Morning, an omelette with your choice of meat and cheese, with a sunny side egg on top (love the double egg situation) served with a slice of french toast, topped with whipped cream, fruits powered sugar and small jar of nutella. For drinks, hot mocha latte and an iced latte. Everything was delicious. The service on point. The price was a little higher than I expected but for this, it was worth it.

    This coffee shop was very cute, charming, and had an overall brightness to it. There was plenty of seating and had a set up that makes it easy to seat a party of 2 or a party of 20! The presentation of the pancakes was pretty amazing! However, the presentation of my omelette was underwhelming even though the food was flavorful. With plenty of photo ops, this place is a must to go with family and/or friends! The only thing that I noticed that could be better was that there was only one single bathroom in the place. I saw the line backed up multiple times while we were there.

    Great place for breakfast!! All plates are so pretty and delicious!! Spend Valentine's Day w family and the only downside is that they don't serve alcohol! This place would be perfect for brunch !! Overall great services and beautiful place !! Great for families !

    Cafe coquito cold foam latte

    This place is a hidden gem I'm very glad I found. The moment you walk in , it has this cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay a while. The staff is very friendly and genuinely seem to care about helping you get what you want. I tried their Cafe coquito cold foam iced latte and it was delicious, rich, smooth and not too sweet.i also had the triplets sandwich,pretty good but I felt it could have had more meat. My wife had the Mallorca sandwich which she loved. We were with a friend that ended up trying the French toast, also great. Whether your looking for a quick bite or to go sip some good coffee and relax,this is the spot!

    Come back to try their breakfast and it did not disappoint. It was busy but they do work fast. Staff is really friendly and attentive. Tried the Mallorca sandwich with egg and bacon and it was the perfect combination of sweet and salty. My husband tried the tripleta sandwich and that one wasn't as good and it lacked the meats. Of course also ordered some coffee and tried the Cafe Coquito and it was good and wasn't too sweet. Really enjoyed their food and will be back to try some other menu items.

    Really wanted to like it here. We were staying in lake Nona and we're looking up breakfast spots and it had overwhelmingly great reviews, but I thought everything fell short. I just was not impressed. I opted for the breakfast sandwich and it was very very mediocre. I will say the portion was very Hardy and I think it was worth the money, but I just was very unimpressed.

    This was my first time here and will probably be my last time at this coffee shop in Lake Nona. When I walked in, I wasn't greeted although there were employees and no clients were waiting at the counter. When looking at the physical menus they had there were no prices to accompany the items. Moreover, I realized that they had a kiosk on top of the counter for you to order. Only when I started using the kiosk and was paying did someone approached and asked if I needed help. The space itself is super big and had lots of tables and seating options for solo and groups. This is perfect as they brand themselves as a Christian coffee shop, so if you have small group/Bible studies meet-up, this would be your place. The latte I ordered was a big disappointment. It tasted super burnt and I don't think they even offer mugs if you want to sit there and enjoy it.

    Chicken Avocado Brunch
    Niyah H.

    The ambiance and aesthetics in the coffee shop is amazing. I love the vibe and the decor. I was able to take a seat on one of the couches and have a comfortable brunch with some nice conversation. The only issue is the Mallorca was missing the egg which we let one of the servers know and they served an egg on the side. I wish they would have remade the entire sandwhich instead of giving a one off egg. Everything else was really good and I can't wait to come back to try more items.

    Such a cute breakfast spot from the seating to the decor! The staff was very friendly, immediately welcoming me as I entered through the door. The latte and breakfast sandwich I ordered were very tasty. I will definitely be back.

    Is there gluten free or keto options?

    I'm not sure about gluten-free unless it's specifically mentioned on their menu. However, pertaining to keto you can get something that will support your macros.

    I know this place is very popular but would it be a good place to study?

    During the week, Yes! Weekends not a chance. Too busy.

    What are your vegan options?

    Not vegan myself, but my friend who is vegan checked their menu and said the only thing she could get was the avocado toast.

The service was stellar from start to finish, and the food was amazing. The Moroccan Spiced Lamb Chops were easily the highlight and honestly some of the best lamb chops I've had. They were perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. The Coal-Roasted Carrots were also cooked perfectly and were such a great side. The Sticky Edamame was great, but the Whipped Ricotta Crostini with Sicilian pistachio butter was AMAZING. The fluffy, creamy ricotta paired with the pistachio was such a good combination and definitely something I would order again. We finished with the Mixed Berry Cheesecake, which was delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. I'm really glad I decided to give Chroma another try because this experience completely changed my impression. Between the stellar service, amazing food, and atmosphere, this was easily a 5/5 visit. I'll absolutely be back, especially for those lamb chops and the whipped ricotta crostini!

    I came back to canvas with moderate expectations because I didn't particularly enjoy my experience…read morethe last time I was here, this time it was for magical dining. The wait staff was way more attentive this time, filling my water every moment it was even half empty. They walked us through any items that we had questions about and was very thorough in their explanation in case there were ingredients that we might've not enjoyed. As part of my magical dining experience, I got the calamari, the meatloaf, and the bread pudding, ALL of which were fantastic. The calamari came crispy and stayed that way even though we sat outside in the humidity. It was dressed in a sweet sour spicy sauce - this was the standout appetizer of the 3 that we ordered. The calamari came with spicy chilis that the waitress asked if I wanted on the side minding my spice tolerance, I asked for it to be as the chef prepares it which is right on top, I should've asked for it on the side because it was very spicy. Fortunately, the spice does not permeate through the sauce and I was able to pick around the chilies. The meatloaf was ok but I can't really complain about a dish that is boring to begin with. Everything was good but nothing innovative or interesting. Very hearty and a lot of food, but if this dish was a paint color, it would be agreeable-gray - a crowd pleaser, filling, and no fuss. I will preface the dessert with the fact that I love bread pudding, i compare all bread puddings to Ohana's at Disney's Polynesian resort, and this definitely met or exceeded that bar. The portion was perfectly served in a mini cocotte, the bread was toasted on the top, gooey on the inside, full butterscotch flavors throughout, it was heavenly as we watched the sun set behind of the beautiful lake where the restaurant sits. The food here has definitely upgraded but my main complain that I had before was the attentiveness of the waitstaff and they turned that completely around. A great place to check out that I will return to many times.

    We visited Canvas Restaurant & Market for Magical Dining and it was definitely a good choice!…read more We started with the Crispy Point Judith Calamari and Spinach & Artichoke Dip, and both were delicious. For our entrées, we had Joe's Mac & Five Cheese with grilled chicken and the Braised Short Rib Meatloaf. That mac & cheese was rich, cheesy and absolutely NOT interested in being a side dish. And the short rib meatloaf with the mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy was great. Then came dessert because apparently we still had room. The Bread & Butter Pudding and Nutella Donuts were the perfect ending. We also tried the Blood Orange Cosmo and Nona Sunset, and both drinks were really good. But I HAVE to shout out our server, Samuel. He was PHENOMENAL! Attentive, personable, knowledgeable and just genuinely added to the entire experience. Great service can take a good dinner to another level, and Samuel absolutely did that. Everything we tried was awesome, the portions were generous, and Magical Dining was a great way to experience the menu. 10/10; good food, good drinks, great service and the restaurant was nice and quiet.

Something told me to look at the breakfast sandwich and I was shocked. I ended up ordered a chicken empanada and a tequeno in case I didn't like the sandwich because it looks awful (doesn't taste good either) In total with the additional purchase I spent $30. I feel like I got ripped off badly. They slapped two deli slices on this sandwich and they gave it to me on hamburger buns. This isn't what was advertised on their order screens or website. I wish I could get a refund because I didn't even enjoy the first bite and ended up not eating. The empanada was another disappointment. Flavorless boiled chicken mixed with some potato with a lightly seasoned rosemary crust. They give you some kind of garlic sauce with it and it's to distract you from flavorless food. The sauce can't always save food. Very overpriced for mediocre food. The coffee was the only decent item I had. Not even the tequeno was good and it's just a stick of cheese wrapped in dough. You're better off spending money at a drive through. For the amount of money I paid I am Highly disappointed and upset with this experience. Definitely do not recommend wasting the drive or your money to come here.

It is a family owned restaurant founded by New York natives who noticed a gap in Central Florida for high quality, authentic New York style diner food. The original location opened on Universal Boulevard in the Lake Cay area, near Universal Orlando and SeaWorld. The restaurant quickly became popular with both locals and vacationers looking for an alternative to the standard hotel breakfast buffet. Following the success of the Universal Boulevard location, the owners expanded to additional Central Florida locations, including Lake Buena Vista and Dr. Phillips. The Diner has gained attention for its creative twists on classic comfort food. One of its signature dishes is the Bennyffle a combination of Eggs Benedict served over a waffle. The menu also features specialty cereal pancakes, including Fruity Pebbles and Oreo Crunch, along with classics such as chicken and waffles. In July 2026, the Universal Boulevard location even became the center of a viral national news story after a family of seven including children reportedly walked out on a $298.47 breakfast bill. The story highlighted how hard family businesses work and how an incident like this can affect them. I recently met up with a group of friends at The Diner for brunch. The Diner can get crowded, and they do not take reservations. I am grateful that one of my friends arrived very early to wait for a table for our group. The diner offers a selection of coffee drinks as well as alcoholic beverages, making it a festive spot for brunch. Since I had a long day ahead, I stuck with coffee and ordered the signature chicken and waffles. The combination was delicious. The crispy, savory fried chicken was the perfect partner to the soft, buttery waffles, while the warm, sweet maple syrup contrasted to the salty chicken. It was a very large portion and I really enjoyed my meal. The service was excellent, and the staff were very accommodating when we needed several separate checks.
