    Salad
    Juliemar R.

    Love that this place is still going strong. All of the menu updates that they have made have been great. I love their salad. This is a great place for working remote and grabbing coffee and a bite. They do have free wifi so it works! It can get really busy during breakfast and definitely on the weekend but still a great spot to hang out. This is a fast casual place where you order at the counter and then they bring you the food. They have sweet and savory crepes and some great sandwich and breakfast options. The baldwiniccino is my favorite drink on the menu but sometimes they have some great seasonal items. It may be hard to accommodate a large party but this place have plenty of room for 2-4 :)

    I had dinner in Baldwin Park, and the place we were eating at had run out of dessert. So they recommended the cafe down the street. We walked down, and found what we assumed was the aforementioned cafe. We walk in, and get slapped in the face with Friends ideology. Not a bad thing. In fact, a great thing. Friends from top to bottom. Other various artwork adorned pretty much every square inch of wall. It was counter service, and the people were very friendly. I had a few questions about the dozens of different items in the glass cabinets, and I ended up working my way to what I thought were the appropriate decisions. I couldn't find the exact items we ordered I don't think, but the first one was some type of cheesecake with a thin layer of lime curd or something on top. It was good! It was tall, and the cheesecake was dense enough to hold up strong. No collapse here. A fair amount of sweetness, a good sharp zing from the lime, and a nice crust to tie it all together. Our second item, though, I think was the Hazelnut Chocotart. This looked good, but it was not great. The tart crust itself was fantastic. The roasted whole hazelnuts on top were excellent. But the entire rest of the volume of the thing was pure, thick, overly sweet chocolate ganache. I'm sure some people would love that, but I recognized the lack of balance, and was off put. Overall, this was a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was unbeatable, the cheesecake was good, and there are plenty of other pastry and food items available for me to try. I'll be back one day.

    Pros: Loved the Friends ambiance. People can say they love Friends, but these people actually show it, and I love that. Service was pretty ok. It was counter service, they were friendly enough, but there were a few tables that were dirty when we came in, and it was pretty slow. Cons: The food itself was pretty ok. A very stiff cheesecake had good fruity notes. And there was a hazelnut tart that was entirely too much chocolate. But they were tasty! Tips: Skip the cheesecake and the tarts. There are plenty of other options in the glass case.

    This is one of my new favorite café spots! The coffee is great and there is a solid selection of specialty drinks without being too many that it's overwhelming. I really love the Dubai pistachio latte, but the current special, which is lavender, I love. Their matcha is also really good and not overly sweetened. Truthfully, I did not expect the food to be as good as it is. I guess I just don't expect much beyond frozen sandwiches and pastries from a coffee shop, but they have a pretty full breakfast menu. My favorite is the avocado toast with smoked salmon... I could eat this for breakfast every day. Everything is really fresh and the breakfast portions are pretty decently sized as well next to my list to try is one of the crêpes. It's a relatively small spot, but they have a decent amount of seating inside and outside. The staff is really friendly. I have to say, I am a huge friend fan so that theming makes it even more fun for me, but it's honestly great either way. The changing art gallery on the walls is also a nice touch.

    I absolutely love the service here! I've been a few times alone and once with a group a friends. It's always accommodating and the clientele is just as friendly as the staff. I've had several menu items but of course the coffee takes center stage. I really enjoy the hot options to sit, sip and enjoy. I've had two of the charcuterie options, the salad and wine as well. All have been fantastic. Parking is as expected for the area, but the experience is well worth it

    Friends fans, this is your Central Perk moment. Grab a giant mug, sink into a cozy couch, and channel your inner Ross, Monica, Chandler, or Phoebe. Because yes, Rachel might just be the one serving you. I think they could lean into the theme even more though: imagine baristas dressed as the gang, '90s décor all around, and iconic tracks like "Smelly Cat" playing softly in the background. Know what I mean? That being said, no complaints about the service. It was phenomenal. My decaf oat milk cappuccino and the mint chocolate chip gelato both hit the spot. Oh, and bonus points for dog lovers: they hand out pup-friendly treats -- whipped cream cups topped with a dog biscuit. And when you visit, just remember that "I told you that was gonna be this way"...

    I had no idea it was "Friends" themed until my wife brought it up. Place was a little cramped , and they messed up my wife's Chai latte order. Some people will fall in love with this place. Cheers

    Came back to Baldwin Perk with my husband on a Saturday morning for brunch. Everything was just as good as last time! The only downside was that my husband's order came out about 20 minutes before mine, and they forgot my coffee until I reminded them after my food arrived. I'd still definitely come back because I love the food, but next time I might try to visit during a less busy time for better service.

    A very fun and unique Friends themes Cafe located in the heart of downtown Baldwin Park. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, free Wi-Fi, full meals, and delicious snacks! The interior decor as well as obviously the name, lends themselves into being themed around the famous sitcom. They have tons of adorable little nods and themed decor throughout. Stop was very friendly and quick to get everything out. It is also a very busy location during peak times so be ready to wait for a seat or take your snacks to go while you walk around the Baldwin area. Overall: A A fun themed cafe in the middle of Baldwin Park.

    Located in downtown Baldwin perk, this was a very busy coffee shop for a Monday morning! There were tons of tables, chairs, sofas and outdoor seating available. They serve both drinks and food options, along with a bakery case. They didn't have a ton of specialty drink items which is what I enjoy about trying new coffee shops. There was WiFi available which made remote work possible from the cafe, although it was really loud so not the best remote work location. The coffee was just ok, nothing special.

    Gelato!
    Michelle M.

    Love this coffee spot! Inside is very cozy with plenty of seating and lots of cool art, including "Friends" inspired decor. Their coffee is made well, the pesto chicken flatbread is amazing, they even have yummy gelato! Definitely a great place to grab a quick bite, a yummy drink, or to hang out.

    Brittany K.

    What a sweet little gem in the lovely Baldwin park neighborhood! Fans of the hit show Friends will obviously get a kick out of the themed decor! I adored it myself as a fan of the show and made sure to get some instagram pics. To be honest, I didn't expect much in terms of quality given that the appeal would presumably be in the theme. Glad to admin that I was wrong though! The coffee and breakfast were very nice! The portion to price ratio was also a bonus as I ordered one of the boards and it was quite large! Easily shareable- I had leftovers. If I weren't so full, I'd have grabbed a pastry but my friend had one of the double chocolate muffins and gave good feedback. As far as my meal, I was extremely impressed with the waffles. They were very crispy and just the right touch of sweet! I do wish they had proper maple syrup but at these prices can't expect the world! My only minor complain about the board would be the eggs. I asked for scrambled and I think they were either a powder mix of eggs or frozen. Just lacked flavor and were super rubbery. Felt misplaced amongst the other quality items. Otherwise, I was very satisfied! This is my new regular coffee joint in Baldwin. I come to visit semi regularly so will plan for my coffee fix here. Do note though that the cafe is counter service and tables are self seating. It can be very hard to get a table as the place gets packed. You might have to be patient but it's worth it!

    Cappuccino and iced latte
    Denise F.

    I've dined here twice in the past week. Once for breakfast and once for lunch. Both were excellent. Had the Baldwin Waffle Breakfast the first time and the Chicken Pesto sandwich for lunch. The atmosphere is so cozy and the theming is on point. Coffee is perfect and the service is friendly and warm.

Our high-top caught the steady breeze of people cycling in and out, trading blasts of humid Florida air with AC, but it was manageable enough. Our server was solid and attentive, though the kitchen had a couple of operational hiccups. I ordered the fried green tomatoes to start, but they were forgotten until after our main plates had already landed on the table. When they arrived, the execution was decent. The batter didn't adhere well and slipped off the tomatoes, though the accompanying sauce carried the dish nicely. On the drink side, the virgin blackberry lemonade hit the mark completely: balanced, tart, and refreshing. The breakfast mains were where the kitchen redeemed itself. I built my meal around the bacon and mushroom omelette, which was formidable. It was fully loaded with bacon, cheese, peppers, onions, and mushrooms without feeling greasy or heavy. They had run out of biscuits, which was surprising for a brunch spot mid-shift, so I subbed in sourdough toast. The undisputed star of the meal was the side of cheese grits. I am notoriously particular about grits, restaurants almost always serve them under-salted, gluey, or watery, requiring a table-side overhaul of butter, salt, and pepper. These were dialed in straight from the kitchen. The texture, dairy integration, cheese ratio, and baseline seasoning were spot-on without needing a single touch of salt or pepper. Minor timing and stock quirks aside, BriarPatch remains a reliable staple. I left full, satisfied, and reminded why it is always worth keeping in the local Park Ave rotation.

The sweet and savory combination was delicious, though the fig flavor was stronger and sweeter than expected, and we definitely experienced a little flavor fatigue toward the end. On a Wednesday afternoon, the atmosphere was quiet and cozy. There was one woman managing the front of house, from hosting to running food, and she was incredibly kind and welcoming.

    Went in for breakfast this morning. It wasn't busy, and I got a seat at the far end. The server was…read moreOmar. He was very welcoming and nice, and it didn't take long for him to offer me water after I sat down. It's pretty big with lots of seating inside and out. Decided to sit inside but was at a window with a nice view. The bacon was very crispy, the cappuccino was delicious, and so was the pineapple juice. The Greek yogurt parfait was good, and so was the fruit bowl; reasonable price Would definitely try breakfast again

    We visited this restaurant for the Orlando Magical Dining special to celebrate my mother's…read morebirthday, and unfortunately the experience was far from magical. The menu was extremely limited -- only three appetizers, two of which were salads, and the third (brussels sprouts) wasn't even available. The entrées and desserts were also limited to three options each. For a $60 per‑person dining event, we expected a memorable meal, but the service was slow and the wait between courses was unusually long. We also weren't informed ahead of time that parties larger than six are automatically charged an added tip percentage. The atmosphere and interior were beautiful, but the food itself didn't match the price or the occasion. My chicken entrée was shockingly small -- essentially the size of a single chicken wing -- served with six small red potatoes in sauce. It didn't feel like a $60 dish in any way. Overall, the experience was disappointing, especially considering it was meant to be a special birthday dinner for my mom. This isn't meant to be harsh, just honest feedback. I truly hope management takes this seriously and improves both the menu and the service for future Magical Dining guests.

    Celebrated both of our birthdays at The Chapman and had such a great experience!…read more We had the shrimp cocktail, chicken meatballs, tableside avocado toast and of course Bloody Marys. The shrimp were HUGE and somehow still perfectly tender, which was impressive for shrimp that size. Everything was delicious, beautifully crafted and you can tell a lot of thought goes into each dish. The chicken meatballs were another favorite. The tableside avocado toast was such a fun touch and Eric did a great job putting it together right at the table. They started us off with a complimentary pour of champagne for our birthdays and surprised us with macarons at the end. Such a nice way to make the celebration feel special. Our server Lillian was kind, attentive and took great care of us. Really enjoyed the food, cocktails, atmosphere and all the little details. Definitely a brunch worth checking out and somewhere we'll be back to!

    Placed this restaurant on my list for magical dining and it was really good value. The restaurant…read moreis beautiful and I would go during the day to fully enjoy the decor. In the evening it is a bit dark and I prefer a litle more light when eating. We started with the lions mane mushrooms and the lobster flatbread. The mushrooms were nice and hot while a little sweet. The lobster flatbread was crispy and tasty but a little cold. For drinks and cocktails they have a nice interesting list of selections. We had an espresso martini, a drink called positive affect and very interesting cloudstar. The drinks were beautiful and delicious. The descriptions on the menu are very inviting. Positive affect included vodka, cumber, basil, and citrus that was refreshing and a beautiful green color. The cloudstar sounds like it would be really sweet but it was not and was a very good drink. This had a lot going on but mixed together well which included vanilla, banana liqueur, proseco, and you pour passion fruit juice over cotton candy. Dylan our server was very attentive and kind. Entrees were a burger with these huge crispy fries, roasted chicken with mashed potatoes and I think they forgot to add the spinach. We also had the rack of lamb that was flavorful, tender and plated well. The meal presentations were very good. Some of our food could have been served a little hotter. Moving onto desserts we had the butterscotch creme brulee and the chocolate decadence that was like a torte with a very good berry sauce. Both desserts were very good! It was a good evening. I could not finish the rake of lamb so bonus I have lunch for tomorrow.

    We enjoyed such an amazing meal. We started off with seared ahi tuna with fennel and mussel broth…read more The tuna was cooked perfectly. The broth was such a compliment to the tuna. The next course was prosciutto wrapped artichoke served over a lovely bed of lemon basil risotto. Wow..just wow!! We ended our meal with a smoked rack of pork with a delicious blueberry and blackberry Malbec a jus served with fingerling potatoes roasted with parsley and olive oil. The service was beyond amazing! The ambiance is wonderful!

    NOTE: The restaurant is inside the clubhouse of a retirement community. They recently (in the last…read moreyear) opened up to the public. Don't let that deter you from coming to try their delicious food :) the staff let us that this is a scratch kitchen and you can definitely tell by the quality of the ingredients! Even their pasta made in house! My friend and I came for Bite30 and had a great time! I loved every part of the food selection here except maybe the appetizers. Drinks were fantastic. There were too many seeds/nuts on the peach moscato and the eggplant caprese stack for my taste, but if you love nuts and seeds you'll love it. The entrees and the desserts were OUT OF THIS WORLD THOUGH! We were so full from the appetizer and entree that we thought we wouldn't be able to eat the dessert BUT WE SCARFED IT DOWN LIKE THE SWEET-TOOTHED HUMANS WE ARE. The staff were so so kind and attentive, and they all seemed like a very close knit work family. Our server was super duper informed on everything we asked. Forgive me, I forgot her name but I know it started with an A. Alyssa? Ashley? Alison? If you are reading this, you made sure we had a fantastic night and we love you for that :) we will definitely be coming back for Magical Dining in August
