    Is there anything better than a fresh glass of OJ on an early Saturday morning? Yes. The Avocado Toast with scrambled eggs you can get here at the new First Watch in Mount Dora. This is going to be THE breakfast spot for a while, you can tell. I loved that they opened the door for me as I walked up this morning. Very nice staff here and my server, Akaisha, was a doll. The Avocado Toast comes with big chunks of avocado and I didn't even need to salt my eggs, they were just right. Seriously, though, I could drink gallons of that orange juice - delicious! You can easily pay your bill by scanning the QR code on the back of your check and there's ample parking and seating inside and outside the restaurant. I'll return for the lemon ricotta pancakes and to try lunch here. A (very) welcome addition to Mount Dora, indeed.

    The service was nonexistent literally. The restaurant was not even busy. We ended up leaving but on our way out we were thanked for coming.

    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.

    Joshua and Kim are awesome. They served up notch service with a smile…read more There isn't a lot of parking available but we were able to find a spot on the side of the building. The restaurant was not too busy when we got there. Our friends were already seated and waiting for us. There had ordered water for the table and had their coffees. Joshua appeared shortly after we exchanged pleasantries with our group. He checked in and we ordered coffee as well. He returned with the coffee and took all our orders. Two of our friends frequent the cafe weekly so he already knew what they wanted. The rest of us were able to order. We received our food in a reasonable time. Joshua and Kim checked in periodically to make sure we didn't need anything and kept the coffee flowing. I had the Pot Roast Omelette with Home Fries and a Biscuit. It was ok. Everyone else enjoyed their food. I would recommend the cafe adding fresh fruits to the menu. By the time we got ready to leave, there was a line of people waiting to be seated. We had to sidled out the door. The cafe is quaint and popular with the locals of Mount Dora. I am open to returning and trying something else on the menu.

I decided to try the lemon mint iced tea, and it came out in a timely manner. The tea was not very strong in flavor, and though it was sweetened I couldn't tell the difference. I do enjoy teas though so I will probably try their other options on future visits

    We love us some Foxtail Coffee and this was our first stop while in town awaiting a concert at the…read moreMusic Hall. Upon entry and approaching the service counter we were not greeted. After checking out the menu the server eventually asked us what we wanted. The wife chose a tea concoction from a stand alone menu they had propped up on the counter, as if to advertise special or seasonal configurations. She was told they did not have one of the two tea blends (then take it off the menu!). She ended up ordering a different offering from the main menu and I ordered a large latte. The food/pastry window was weak, so we did not order anything from there. Maybe they got wiped out before we arrived around 2pm, but I kind of doubt it. We took a seat in the dining area and when our drinks were brought over I was a little disappointed in the size of my "large" coffee, as in most places it would have been deemed a medium. Oh well, it was tasty I'll give him that. Overall we agreed we won't return here, as we saw during our tourist walk a couple of other coffee shop options. Yep, it could've been better.

    Le Petit is the best, look no further! We recently ordered our 3 tiered wedding cake from them…read more(each tier was a different flavor), the cake and fillings was amazing and the best I've ever had. I truly wished I lived in Mount Dora as I would use them for all my events. We had Strawberry Champagne, Chocolate Praline, and Coconut Caramel...everything was so delicious. I am also happy that they offer a deal to purchase a cake from them on your one year anniversary, it gave us the opportunity to offer all flavors to guest and we in turn will get a freshly made cake. We are looking forward to coming back to this amazing baker. Le Petit was very accommodating to us for our tasting since we were a destination wedding and our time during wedding things were limited to our visits made to the area, the tasting went so smoothly and they truly made it hard to narrow down to only 3 flavors since all of them tasted great. Thank you Le Petit for the cake of our dreams.

I bought raspberry cheesecake minis, pecan cheesecake minis, miniature sprinkle cupcakes, and mini tiramisu. They also have macaroons and other mini desserts. Cute shop though very small and setup for takeout only. I would recommend trying them!

    We are return customers as the food is consistently good and delicious…read more Today we were blessed to get Jessica as our waitress. Jessica is awesome...friendly, attentive, and always has a smile on her face. God Bless her. Last weekend was a different story...I won't mention her name but the waitress we had last week was extremely rude. When I asked for 1/2 Peach 1/2 Unsweetened Tea the waitress went on to berate me and argue on how the tea is already made that way...my mom asked for water no ice and her response was "we don't have a button for that." Needless to say, I got an extremely sweet tea that my husband had to go up to the counter to change. I'd like to think the woman was having a bad day...but I truly doubt that's the case. For some strange reason it just seems to me that the woman is racist or just needs to go find Jesus. With all that said, I truly doubt that we are the first or will the be the last to bring this up and if management takes a look...I am sure they will know who I'm referring to. We love Peach Tree and will definitely be coming back...because we won't let one bad peach ruin it for the rest of us.
