    Pleasure of trying their Cuban coffee--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The coffee was rich, bold, and perfectly balanced with that signature sweetness that makes Cuban coffee so special. Each sip was smooth yet strong, with a beautiful crema on top that showed real attention to detail. What made the experience even better was the staff. The employees were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment I walked in. They took the time to explain the menu, made great recommendations, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they do. That kind of positive energy really elevates the whole visit. Between the amazing Cuban coffee and the warm, personable service, this spot is definitely one I'll be coming back to. Highly recommend if you're looking for great coffee and even better hospitality!

    The service and food were phenomenal two days in a row and they did not miss !! I asked for a special sandwich and they made it to order turned out to be expectation.

    I need one of these places near me!! It was such a staple in our trip. My friends and I went there almost every day while we were in the area for a work conference for breakfast or brunch if that says anything. All the food was so tasty and well made. The dream sandwich lived up to its name, but my favorite food item was the arepas. I highly recommend getting the arepas to eat, they are incredible! Especially the chicken avocado arepa. The bread is perfection, crispy, light. The cheese on the sandwich is charred, warm and rich. The avocado is a nice touch too and paired well with the chicken. They also have this special crema sauce you can use if you ask for it to have with your sandwich. The coffee was also very good and I loved the touch of having the iced drinks in mason jars, so cute! I would just recommend getting light ice because the ice melts quick. The workers were incredibly friendly and attentive and the place had a great ambience. Was very welcoming. There's only outdoor seating, so I would keep that in mind if it's too hot, but it's a nice area to sit and relax while eating. So worth it! Couldn't recommend this local business more! I will be back.

    Breakfast arepa

    We stopped here for breakfast since it had really good reviews and thought it would be inexpensive but that was not the case. We got two breakfast arepas and a steak and cheese arepa with coffees and a guava and cheese pastry. I have never said this in a review before but everything was disappointing. The steak arepa came out with cold cheese in it when it's normally melted with the steak. The steak was chewy and lacked seasoning while the arepa itself was stale so nothing about it was good. The breakfast arepa was bad as well, bacon was chewy and it took forever to come out and we were the only people there. This place looks like a small hole in the wall but with pricing of a nice restaurant. I hate giving bad reviews but my whole group was just extremely dissatisfied with the food. The guava and cheese pastry was old and cost $4, the arepas were $13 each and the cafe con leche were $7. High prices, low quality food. The guy was nice but that's the only good thing we have to say.

    Delicious food. Friendly service. Get the Cuban sandwich! And don't sleep on the juices! Fresh mango juice=yummy!

    Famous Mac and Cheese

    DO NOT GO HERE. JUST DONT. SAVE MONEY AND TIME PLEASE Don't go here at least you have to. Bad service, bad food. Spend $68 on breakfast for 2 ppl. "famous mac and Cheese " is $9 and you are getting a bowl of $1 Kraft mac and cheese. Asked for a refund lady said they don't do a refund if the food is out. We didn't even eat it. The turkey sandwich came out with 3 science of bread in it and got full from one piece because of the amount of bread. Don't waste your time and your money here. It wasn't worth driving 20 min because of good Yelp reviews. Ate sandwiches just because we were starving and had 2 hr drive home. $16 for 3 slices of bread and tomato. For you to decide... And btw frappuccino is a blended drink idk why we just got an iced latte and were charged extra for a 12oz drink. The cups were barely full.

    The location is within a hotel parking lot and it is small. The inside was closed but it looks like there might be a couple of tables. We sat outside and to use the bathroom you have to go across to the hotel lobby. There are great options on the menu and the taste did not disappoint. I would say that it is a bit pricey, and the menu didn't have prices.

    Dream Sandwich!!! I had mines with stake! I added and egg and avocado!!!

    I wish I could add more stars to this!! The service was a 1000/10. I was FaceTiming my mom and one of the girl brought me something to prop my phone on . The food lorddddd have mercy!! 10/10!! I had a hazelnut latte iced and it was the perfect portion!! I am going back tomorrow to have breakfast!! It's a small place but soooo worth going!!!

    This place is tucked away at the celebration suites but old town; literally a hole in the wall!! A must though if you're near. I had heard about this place before, but decided to stop in today. You order at their window and your food is brought out to one of the 4 tables they have for seating outside. Food is as fresh as can be! Staff is very nice and polite. I ordered the dream sandwich, with steak, and no steak. The everything bagel was toasty yet soft; literally perfect. The steak was cooked well and paired so easily with the rest of the sandwich which had potato sticks, some kind of mustard, tomatoes, and lettuce! I also got perico eggs, which were brought out in a cute little skillet plate (not pictured), but delicious. For a drink, I opted for one of their natural drinks, mango particularly, and it was refreshing as can be! Will definitely have to venture back one day to dry out one of their lovely arepas! Fairly inexpensive also, I ordered 2 drinks, 2 sandwiches, and the eggs for roughly $30, and it was worth it!

    Excellent food and service!! Love the ambience! Me and my husband love a gourmet coffee and this was the place to get it!!

    Food was good. A bit pricy for sandwiches but overall a nice small place for a quick Spanish breakfast.

The home fries were a bit oily, but adding ketchup helped, and I still enjoyed them. The mimosa came in a regular cup with no ice and a small bottle of Barefoot Bubbly, which I actually appreciated because I could pour as much or as little as I wanted. The stuffed French toast was really good too. As for the service before being seated, I was a little discouraged, and at one point we almost walked out. I had really been craving Keke's before the end of our trip though, so I convinced my husband to stay. We weren't acknowledged when we first walked in, and the three employees at the front were all busy doing different things. The host stand seemed to turn into a cashier station, a drink pickup area, and a walkway all at once, so there wasn't much organization or a clear order for guests coming in. I think having a better system during peak hours would make a big difference. Once we were seated, though, the service was good. The atmosphere was chill, busy, and very family-oriented. Overall, we enjoyed the food, but we'll probably try a different Keke's location the next time we're in town.

We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

I was about 25 minutes away, when I took my family here, and they were wondering where we were going, but let me tell you, they were not disappointed by the food, service and the surround area. When we arrived, it seemed like a downtown area that was kind of chill because it was a Tuesday early evening. Barely any traffic around and tons of open parking, especially right in front to the restaurant. From the front I noticed some funny signs, a patio that was wide open for seating, yard games and a nice cozy dive bar vibe. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted at the counter by our server. It was not busy, there was actually only one customer sitting at the bar. The bar has about 6 seats and has TVs to watch and the restaurant if filled with tons of cool Classic Rock pictures, memorabilia and quotes. It was just the vibe we needed to just hang as a family. The server allowed us to pick any table we wanted. We ordered margaritas. They were delicious. We also has the RIBS, okra, mac & cheese, potato salad, some greens, cornbread, brisket, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING, including the SERVICE was on point; we left well fed, satisfied and happy we found this place to eat tonight. To walk off the food , there is a park right across the street. At the park you will find food trucks for dessert, like ice cream on a hot day. There's also a walking trail and a play ground for the kiddos. There was an area where people were fishing off the doc. I saw an area where people also get married and a facility for our veterans. I included some pictures of what I saw along my way after I left the restaurant for people looking for things to do in the area with a family and/or friends. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by this restaurant for some good eats, drinks and just a place to relax and have a good time. There's also service is great and the area is filled with things to do afterwards. Thank me later.

I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love.

There are plenty of places to take cute Instagram pictures. However, that does not help the overall score of the rest of the experience. When we first arrived, we were instructed to review the menu at a seat-yourself station and then return to the front to place our order. There were some interesting and tasty-looking options to pick from. Unfortunately, I was a bit perplexed by the pricing on the menu versus what came up on the cash register. I ordered the Mixed Berries Crepes with Nutella ($11), and I was going to order a Strawberry Boba for $5, but instead my total was nearing $25 dollars?? The pricing did not match the menu. The cash register didn't seem very friendly. When I noticed my crepe read "Banana/Strawberry" instead of Mixed Berry. I clarified I was getting the correct order. She told me, "Yes, yes." (Spoil alert: I did not get the mixed berries but instead a Strawberry and Banana Crepe...) I paid, and then took the little marker flag with a number they give you so the waitresses can find the correct table to deliver the orders to. My coworker and I waited in the back for our orders. Although we ordered back-to-back, the orders were fulfilled at different intervals. When my order finally arrived, the waitress was looking for the right table to deliver it to. I raised my hand and said it was my order. She looked at me with scrutiny as if I were lying to her. ( What was the point of the flag marker with the number then, if you're uncertain of the order???) My crepe was pretty, but overall, it was okay in flavor and taste. It wasn't very hot, though, and was lukewarm. I would give the crepe a 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't anything I'd come running back for. The staff wasn't the friendliest and seemed confused and disorganized. I would not come back here again.
