My bacon egg cheese croissant sandwich was delicious both days I got it and so was my husband's burrito. We watched the pancakes and French toasts walk by and they also looked amazing. Definitely a Mount Dora must and if you got good shoes and are in good health not a bad walk from downtown.

Used to be a favorite spot for breakfast…read more This morning we went for breakfast and I brought my latte from home as usual. I was told to take it out to the car or leave. New no outside beverage policy. They don't offer lattes and we were all ordering breakfast, not just sitting around drinking coffee from home. Was told they make most of their money off coffee? Isn't it like $3 with refills? Not like I bought my own eggs. Cool. Left and went to waffle house. Prob wont be back. So, they lost $30-$40 in sales because of a $3 coffee? Sound business decision.

There are big picture windows looking out on a lovely Florida garden, lovely sunny day. I had the shrimp salad which was substantial and fresh! My husband had the chicken pot pie, his favorite, which came with a side salad. Our server was upbeat and helpful. We'll be back!

The first thing you need to understand when dining at the Beauclaire, part of Lakeside Inn here in…read moreMount Dora, is that this location was developed in the1880s. So, a little threadbare never killed anybody. My first Sunday brunch here was pleasant (though I'm hesitant to pay about $25 for breakfast anywhere these days). I made my reservation online easily enough. Breakfast here finishes at 10a and then brunch service begins at 11a. Justin was super friendly when I arrived and I was seated and had already placed my Grand Slam order with OJ by 11:05a. That's pretty dang good. My server, Lisa, was very charming and - when I asked - she seemed to know quite a bit about the restaurant and hotel. The coral dining room is where I ate, they do not take reservations for sitting at the outdoor tables. The Grand Slam comes with eggs, your choice of bacon or sausage (patties), and potatoes or grits, with 4 small pancakes. The sausage and pancakes were very good, the potatoes well-seasoned, but the scrambled eggs left a lot to be desired. I would order fried eggs if you're looking for something fresher. The juice was delicious (no pulp), but $4 for one glass is just crazy. The water, I will say, was actually good - which pleasantly surprised me. You always want the water at a restaurant to be good - that's what they cook the food in. If not the Grand Slam, I'd bet the Belgian Waffle is a solid bet. I just can't get over how expensive breakfast, brunch, and lunch are these days. The Grand Slam came out to $18 but you DO get a very good portion of food for your money.

Brunch at Peach Valley Café was absolutely fantastic. My mom and I came in for brunch and…read moreeverything--from the food to the service--was top-notch. She ordered the smoked salmon and bagel, and I had the fiesta rancheros. Both dishes were out of this world delicious. The home fries deserve a special shout-out: hands down the best I've ever had. Our waitress, Jessica, was phenomenal--super attentive, friendly, and efficient. She was wonderful with us and I noticed her engaging warmly with the other tables too. The whole atmosphere felt friendly and genuinely jovial. We finished with the peach cobbler served warm in a skillet with vanilla ice cream, and it was exceptional. Not overly sweet, perfectly balanced, and more of a crumbled consistency rather than a traditional crust--which made it even better. Absolutely perfect brunch experience. We'll definitely be back!

It's such a cute spot, with an impressive selection of baked goods at very reasonable prices. This time, I ordered the chocolate strawberry latte, and we shared a red velvet scone along with one of their unique "Nobody Asked For This" chocolate chip cookies made with roasted garlic. The latte was delicious and piping hot--perfect for a chilly day. My first bite of the garlic chocolate chip cookie had me thinking, "No," but it quickly grew on me, and I ended up really enjoying the unexpected combination of flavors. The red velvet scone was huge (perfect for sharing) and absolutely amazing, loaded with chocolate chips. Between the drinks and treats I've tried over multiple visits, Allyson A's Bake Shop has yet to disappoint. It's a must-stop whenever I'm in Mount Dora.

As entrees I ordered a Cobb salad with grilled chicken, which was very filling and yummy!
