The staff is really nice and they let you sample as many things as you want, but it's hard to find something you're not gonna love. The actual space inside is super modern and fun and reminds me of a true Italian gelato shop. Fun designs, and even a cool wall if you're looking to take a photo. I got the large waffle cone, which includes two scoops and you can mix some match flavors. I got caramel on the bottom and the cherry flavor on top. The only bad thing about it is once it's gone you'll want more. The owners are really really nice and this is a place I would recommend for a date night on Park Avenue or for a treat for the family! Dig in!

With how hot these days are lately m, nothing beats a refreshing taste of Greek frozen yogurt! The space alone is beautiful decorated and will make you feel like you're in Greece! They offer tons of topping options. I always like to pair my yogurt with baklava flakes, Dubai pistachio cream, and strawberries. FYI: an import note to keep in mind is that this is traditional frozen Greek yogurt. Meaning it serves the purpose of a tart taste and flavor. It's not meant to be sweet. I've noticed comments and reviews where people were expecting the taste to resemble sweet soft serve similar to Twistee Treat. This is not that at all! You must be fond of the slightly tart taste in order to enjoy frozen Greek yogurt. Your tastebuds will thank you and will have you craving for more!

I loved the combination and the baklava and pistachio cream made it feel a little different from your typical frozen yogurt. My only complaint is that I wish they were a little more generous with the toppings. I felt like I ran out of toppings while still having a lot of frozen yogurt left so I ended up eating quite a bit of plain froyo at the end. Service: The service was good and everything was prepared quickly! Ambiance: The inside is absolutely stunning and definitely gives you that Greek feeling! You can tell they really put a lot of work into the design and overall look of the space. It's very clean, beautiful and thoughtfully decorated which makes the experience feel a little more special than your typical frozen yogurt spot.

The inside is very clean and cute coffee shop themed decor on the walls. Its quiet and peaceful, perfect place for some mid day quiet time. I love their proximity to my house and I regularly order with them.

I have been a Buttermilk Bakery fan for well over a decade. Until this last weekend…read more I got online at 8:15 in the morning to place my order. Each item that I selected came up with a message that read, "Our store is not currently accepting orders." I tried again a few minutes later. Then again. And again. And again. I tried to call and received a voicemail that stated a different number. At 8:50am, the option to order seemed to be back up and running. I ordered five items, including the Roasted Tomatoes & Goat Cheese Quiche. For context: I live 45 minutes away from Buttermilk Bakery. It used to be on my way to work but, as of a few years ago, that is not the case anymore. So, it is now a special occasion destination. Reserved only for weekends when I can make the trip. More context: I have been raving to one of my closet friends for years about how much I love this place. My most emphatic musings have been about the quiche. Today, since she and I were planning an afternoon poolside, I thought that I would surprise her with an assortment of Viennoiserie and other items. At 10:36am, I received a call from Buttermilk. The woman on the phone informed me that they had run out of the quiche. How?!? Once the website was working, I was able to place my order quickly and the item didn't even read, "Low stock." I know that this is a small problem in a world full of large problems, but the thing that really set me off is that when I arrived at the store, the person in line in front of me asked for the Strawberry Buttermilk Pie. He was told that they were out of stock. He was pleasant in stating that there appeared to be slices in the refrigerator case. The girl behind the register told him that they were being held for online orders. When it was my turn, I stated that no one had held my slice of quiche. She blandly said, "I am sorry," and proceeded. I then stated that I was unhappy and had driven some distance. She asked if I would like something else. I responded that the person on the phone had simply told me that I would receive a refund. I then asked for the girl to check on my refund. She said it was not processed yet. So, I said that I would wait. She needed to ask for help to process the refund. She wasn't nasty to me, but she did not care one iota. My effort and subsequent inconvenience meant nothing. I wonder if my refund would even have been processed had I not asked. My friend and I thought the pastries that we received were fine, but she is fitness-minded and was hesitant to indulge in so many carbs without the rich protein that the quiche would have provided. And, yet, more context: This happened once before. With the quiche. Maybe a year ago. Though, that time, I believe it was a butternut squash quiche. My husband needed to be in the area, so he suggested that he pick-up at Buttermilk. When he arrived, he was told that there would be no quiche. No call. No nothing. He didn't think to ask for a refund and we never received one. That time, I simply thought, "Well, accidents happen." This time, I think that I received very shoddy service. I felt very disrespected. I felt unseen. I have loved this place, but I am so disappointed.

I woke up this morning wanting a hot coffee so I set off on my search for something new. Something…read moreboutique. I knew I didn't want Starbucks or foxtail. It's Sunday, I needed to explore the other things this city has to offer. On my search I came across Mariam Coffee. Roughly one block away from Lake Eola, this small coffee establishment is in a great place. Nice little courtyard under the Radius, an apartment complex, right in the heart of downtown. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a familiar smell. Not the typical American coffee joint, the unique smell I associate with the Middle East. I was there for business a couple of years ago and grew pretty fond of a good traditional Turkish coffee. I didn't even bother looking at the menu, I asked the man at the counter who turned out to be the owner, "what do you recommend?" He asked one simple question, "hot or cold?" And my response shaped the rest of my morning. "Hot. As hot as you can get it." He offered me a Turkish coffee saying, "I'll make it traditional. Will that be too strong for you?" Absolutely not. I needed to have it just the way they make it in the sandy deserts of the Middle East. He pulled the pot and began preparing it. I recognized the familiar box of sand, used to heat the coffee. After a few seconds he brought it to my table, the time had come. He used a different bean than I was accustomed to. It was floral. Like a blend of coffee and tea. It was amazing. I definitely recommend this spot. Get a coffee. Enjoy the ambiance. Sip it with friends.

They have a lot of coffee types to choose from, both Turkish & Middle Eastern inspired as well as some American favorites like pumpkin spice or s'mores. I went for a cardamom latte as the owner said that's one of the most popular drinks. And I get why- it was strong, smooth, and a hint of sweet with the cardamom. Oh so delicious. They have some yummy looking baked items as well- no actual food but the coffee stands well on its own. The storefront is in an odd corner of downtown Orlando and I'm honestly not sure how it'd be trying to park and come here. I walked so it was fine but I could see that being the one issue trying to visit.
