I think I just found my new favorite happy hour spot! I drive past Eola General every single day when I drop my son off at school. I decided to stop in one afternoon to treat myself to a glass of wine and a snack. I got there just before 4pm and the sweet gal working behind the bar let me know that their happy hour was about to start. $4 glasses of wine & prosecco -- you can't beat that! I got a glass of bubbly and ordered their mixed charcuterie and cheese board. HOLY WOW -- This board was a work of art! Probably the most beautiful charcuterie board I've ever been served and it was MASSIVE! This is definitely something I would plan to share in the future. But I loved every bite. It was so thoughtfully curated with 3 different types of meats and 3 cheeses, plus pickled veggies, fresh & dried fruit, nuts, mini jam jar, a tapenade spread, edible flowers, and a basket of bread & crostini. I boxed up the leftovers to take home and my husband enjoyed them later. This is such a cute little neighborhood gem and I already can't wait to go back. read more

Atmosphere is unique. A compact interior which serves as both a convenient store for drinks and a high and fast casual food prep. Laid back exterior under eight delightful umbrellas with comfortable tables and chairs. What else? Simple: a nice Espresso beverage in the morning and a delightful glass of wine the rest of the day. read more

This is seriously the best little spot in the area! It truly brings the neighborhood vibes to the city and it honestly makes me wish I lived in walking distance. They have some great bites to eat, and a spot on selection of treats and drinks. Sitting on the outside patio area drinking wine and chatting with friends is the perfect evening!! They do not jack up their prices, and I so appreciate having somewhere affordable to go with a group when we want a reliable, no-frills option. Most importantly, they are dog friendly!!! read more

I was on the hunt for a good bagel and ended up finding that plus a dang good coffee and plenty of other goodies. Eola General is tucked just a block away from Lake Eola in a cozy renovated house. I was immediately charmed by the adorable outdoor seating. Inside, you'll find encouraging messages painted on the walls, tons of character, and several fridges stocked with all kinds of beverages, including local beer and wine. Their menu features amazing large bagels, various cream cheeses, and bakery items. One thing I really appreciate about Eola General is their inclusivity when it comes to dietary preferences. They offer lots of vegan options. I ordered an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese, one of my personal favorites, and I can confidently say this was one of the best versions I've ever had. You can actually taste the bits of veggies in the spread. The bagels are big, so make sure you come hungry! Of course, I had to try their coffee too. I went with a seasonal drink called Grandma's Bowl, made with brown butter, toffee nut, pumpkin purée, and oat milk. After one sip, I was convinced this was the best fall drink of the season! Perfectly balanced between sweetness and bold. I was so impressed with their vegan offerings that I also picked up a vegan cupcake for my friend, complete with a cute little acorn design. Eola General is full of delicious options and truly embodies the spirit of Lake Eola and Orlando with its kind staff and unique offerings. I highly recommend this spot for a breakfast date with friends or even a first date. There's definitely something delicious for everyone. read more

Had lunch at Eola General and we had a great experience. My friend and I both admitted we forget that it's there and that we'd make a point to visit more often because it's a great little spot! All of the staff were super friendly and welcoming, greeting us as soon as we entered and more than one of staff wished us well on our way out. While there we were sitting within earshot of who I think was one of the owners. She was talking about building relationships with customers, learning their names and just the overall culture that they want to have at Eola General. I really admired it because that kind of service and care is hard to come by these days. What initially brought us in was their seasonal drinks that we saw on Instagram. We needed to try them! Since it was lunchtime I ordered the seasonal cold brew tea with dragonfruit and strawberries. The name had something to do with Game of Thrones, Targeryon? I don't watch it. Anyway, it was delicious! It was sweet without being too sweet. I grabbed a sandwich (turkey pesto) and a cookie to take home to my SO (sugar sprinkle.) My friend got the Monster Mash latte which was pistachio and chocolate, it was so good! She got the broccolini and artichoke sandie and it looked so good! They had quite a few vegan options which is awesome, not something you see very often! We had a great time and both said we would be back soon! read more

I finally made it to this adorable downtown general store! The rustic aesthetic is charming, and they had a cute seasonal menu with slightly over the top drinks. Even with a short line, the service was a bit slow, but the seasonal mocha latte made the wait entirely worth it. Space is tight inside, so plan on grabbing a spot on the patio! There's lots of fans and shade so no reason to worry about the heat read more

Every time I am in Orlando I make sure to stop here for a bagel because I wholeheartedly believe these are some of the best bagels in Florida! They're so soft and flavorful and you can't go wrong with any of their cream cheese options. They have an extensive array of vegan options as well. Staff was wonderful and accommodating. The seating area outside overlooks such a warm neighborhood and is a great place to meet with friends. read more

I've had this place bookmarked forever, I wish I would've visited sooner. I rarely give anywhere 5 stars, but this place is worthy. This place is awesome, cozy and quaint and right now it has all the holiday feels. Theres indoor and outdoor seating and you can order anything from wines, beers, coffee to sandwiches and soups. I absolutely loved it and cannot wait to go back. The staff was super friendly and welcoming and answered all questions and gave good suggestions. They have a happy hour $4 glass of wine at 4pm, $5 glass at 5pm and $6 glass at 6pm. You can't be it! I tried the tomato soup and grilled cheese and it was bomb!! I loved my entire experience here and if you're in the area you should definitely stop in. read more

When I think of a store I want near my house or apartment to walk to that is relaxed and I can get coffee or wine depending on the day and grab a small bite to eat this it the place. We walked here from downtown Orlando and it took us about 15 minutes, but it is a beautiful walk (majority around the lake)! It is easily accessible by car or foot which is amazing! It has lots of outdoor seating and very minimal indoor seating, so prepare in advance knowing the weather. We decided to come in for a 10 am breakfast! When we got there, only a few people were around and we were able to order immediately. We had a dog with us and were kind enough to let us bring it inside to order, even though we were sitting outside. I ordered a Carmel latte and avocado toast. The Carmel Latte was a little more on the cream side than strong side, but had great flavor! The avocado toast was average at best and I probably could have made a better one at home if I am honest. Which is sad to say because my expectations were high. However, my friend got a bagel and said they are her favorite bagels around. Next time I go back I plan to try one and get the same coffee to see if it is a better representation of what I expected. Overall it is a cute place to go for an afternoon pick me up, morning breakfast date, or an evening wine and snack with friends! Even though it is in the city it also gives a lush and quaint feel! read more

Eola General is a quaint little spot nestled in the Lake Eola Heights neighborhood. I've always wanted to go to this spot and finally did! To be honest.. I was really intrigued by their Sunrise Bagel on Uber Eats. It looked sooo good that I thought it would be best to experience first hand We went on a Friday morning and it wasn't too busy. Folks were studying, catching up with friends, had their kids on the patio, even someone with their pooch outdoors. It had all walks of life here which I loved. Now - the food! This is a fast-casual, order at the counter and take a number type of dining experience. We started with the sangrias which were great, just your standard sangria. I will say I wasn't a fan of the cold brew coffee - the flavor of the coffee itself I think was just too bitter for me. But! The food was great. The sunrise bagel was awesome - I chose an Asiago Bagel with a Jalapeño Pimento Cheese spread with all the other fixings it comes with and it all worked soooo well together. You have the options of their house-made kettle chips with a chilli lime salt or their pasta salad! Either one were good honestly, but I really liked the chips! Totally recommend this local and quite hidden gem for a breakfast, lunch, brunch type of vibe. read more

The flower child avocado toast is interesting, because I can't tell you whether the taste or the presentation was better. It was sooo freaking adorable with the flowers on it. Eventually, they came off and eggs were added on top instead. There were some nice grains on top of the avocado and it wasn't your cookie cutter piece of avocado toast. I sat in the outdoor patio and although it was hot out, it was a pleasant space, with people bringing their dogs and family for a nice weekend lunch. There were a lot of other food options I was interested in, and I wanted to get a coffee but I already had picked a separate place to go for coffee. I'll just have to come back and try their other stuff! read more

Whenever my friends are in town, they always want to go to Eola General! They have a clean menu that features fresh warm bagels and sandwiches for brunch. Best part? You can pick from a variety of homemade cream cheeses to add to your sandwhich! I also love that they support local by selling local baked goods, artwork... they mainly only have outdoor seating, which can accommodate a big group (unless it's a nice day out, then everyone is sitting outside). But if it is raining, they only have bar seating inside so it turns into a grab and go instead of a sit and stay experience. read more

I just moved downtown and Eola General is such a cute spot! Eola General is hidden away behind Lake Eola and it's a great restaurant for a lunch and coffee.

Food is great- lovely atmosphere. Have been here many times throughout the years because I live a few blocks away. Today's experience was remarkable but not in a good way. I was grabbing food before I went to work and asked for it to-go. I started eating half of it in the store and a lady with gray hair came by and scolded me for having a brown bag (that I didn't ask for but needed). When I said I needed it she just walked away ...Very odd read more

This cute store has a mix of "convenience store" and hippie cafe vibes with shelves of snacks, cheeses, beverages, enamel pins, and merch for sale as well as cafe offering toasts, sandwiches, bagels, muffins, cookies, and more! Also love the staff who are so friendly and consistently greeted everyone who entered! I tried the vegan crostini/toast ($11) which had buffalo chik'n and a wonderful garlic chive spread. It was ready and served in about 5 minutes. The spread was honestly my favorite part and I thought the buffalo sauce was overpowering the other flavors, but it is probably personal preference. Overall it was alright and I was able to finish it all but next time I'll try something else! Parking is on the street, and they mainly have outdoor seating with some indoor spots. They also have free wifi. read more

The best place to come grab a drink and play some cards. Mostly outdoor seating with a few spots inside. The breakfast bagels are great- I usually get the lox with lemon dill cream cheese on an everything bagel.

I can't believe it's taken me almost 5 years of living in Orlando to come by Eola General, what a cozy spot! Wide variety of breakfast and lunch options and bagels are offered! I've had such a difficult time finding a good, order at the counter style coffee spot that also serves bagels and breakfast and it looks like this will be my new spot. The service was good, a lot of regulars stopping in that knew the staff which is always great to see. I ordered a plain avocado toast but swapped to be on an everything bagel as well as an iced oat milk latte with honey and vanilla. My dad got a hot chocolate, an onion bagel, and a blueberry scone for the road. What a great spot to sit and chat and enjoy breakfast/coffee! read more
