    Clean, plenty of parking, good music. The coffee was good, especially if you're into custom syrups. I choice butterscotch with my iced latte. I also ordered the carrot cake muffin. It was delicious. Service was great. If they know it's your first time they'll take their time and explain everything. Will come back if I'm ever this way.

    Whimsical, cozy and quaint, I'm in love with this independent coffee shop. It's a hole in a wall that a lot of people already know about because it was quite busy during our weekend morning visit. The decor is adorable with its bookish theme. There is a focal wall with book art and I couldn't stop exploring it. There is moving art on the wall thx to framed tvs and the counter has fun decorations that were super cute. The menu has plenty of coffee, tea and food options. The breakfast sandwiches are customizable and they offer focaccia as a bread option! Needless to say I loved everything about this shop. Excited to return. There is eclectic indoor seating for a variety of group numbers and the shop is located in a plaza with plenty to shared parking.

    The look of this little coffee shop is ADORABLE. I love the books that lined the walls. There are games and books to read. A coloring table is supposed to get added for kids. Books and coffee what could be better? I tried the lavender americano hot this time and it was tasty. A darker roast. They had a lot of treats to try and I will definitely do so next time. It was so cool to get to pick a few stickers that were coffee themed on the way out for free. Such a great theme for a little coffee shop! Free WiFi!

    Every visit to Flakes and Fables is a positive one. They have an assortment of beverages for coffee lovers, and those who might prefer a lemonade or non-coffee beverage. The staff is friendly and always asks about customizing the desired level of sweetness for our beverages, which I really appreciate. The pastries are delicious. We've also enjoyed their brownies and the chocolate pistachio croissant. I am personally hooked on the strawberry Nutella croissant with an iced hazelnut latte. The theme of the store is bookish and books by local authors are featured at the counter. It is an ideal place to meet up particularly children for a cozy treat and reading or game. Definitely a new favorite for us!

    I stumbled by this place by accident, and it did not disappoint! The staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu. The food was very tasty and the drinks were good. I'd like my a little sweeter but I can definitely ask for that next time. The inside was so nice. A little messy from maybe a rush, but that's okay. I loved that they had games to play as a family as well as all the book decor. I will be going back again soon.

    Pros: Ambiance was very nice and eclectic. Electronic paintings on the wall, a book art wall, beautiful artwork in the bathroom. Loved the look of this place. The register person, who I assume is the owner, was insanely nice. He checked in on us just enough, and he got our feedback on the baked goods to give to the baker. Very cool. The food itself was high quality. You can always tell fresh baked stuff from warmed up pastries from bags. Good flavors, a good amount of sweetness, and we had a sandwich that was so lovely. Cons: No cons whatsoever. Tips: Make sure you show up ready to play. Have have free board games for you to grab and play. Love that.

    We want more weekend morning coffee shops to chill at, get some work done, play a board game, and eat and drink delicious coffee and pastries and such. Starbies has obviously passed out of the mainstream, so we wanted to check out some local spots. Flakes & Fables is one of those spots we checked out. Ambiance is clean, proud, and a little whimsical. Very interesting artwork adorns the wall, including some absolutely stunning book art that every child should look at and admire. And there's a couple of nice glass cabinets showing off the pastries that are fresh and ready for sale. Very nice look to the place. Service was insanely nice. We had a very nice little conversation with the guy at the counter, the food and drink gets delivered right to the table, and he even checked in on us once or twice to ask how our meal was, talking a little bit about different recipes that the baker is trying out. It was really nice service. As for the food and bev, all so solid. Drinks were good. Not too sweet, not too bitter. No concerns there. We had a little blueberry bundt thing with vanilla icing drizzled all over it. It was very soft and delicate. The blueberry aspect tasted nice and natural, not too sweet. Very good. We also had a nice chocolate/pistachio filled croissant with that same combination on top. This was a very delicate croissant. You can tell that it was baked in house; there were flakes everywhere, on the table, on my lap, it was done very well. With just the right amount of chocolate within, and some very nice chunks of pistachios on top for texture. Just lovely. The last thing I sampled, my main event, was a breakfast sandwich in a nice slice of focaccia. Wow, the height on this thing was impressive. But it was very squishable and edible, because that bread was so airy and buttery. A great combination of butter and salt was in the bread, and the ingredient amount of perfect, too. Loved those nice, strong slices of tomatoes. I could talk about the fun board games they have available to play, but I doubt anyone is even reading this anymore. I was very happy with my visit here. I review places and I don't think about price at all when I do, but if I could make one remark about this place, I don't think their prices were high enough. I think that for comparable food and drink and comparable places, this is the cheapest you'll find it. Which is good for us, but as a small business, you gotta survive. Once you get truly cemented into the community, raise those prices a bit. This is quality stuff.

    Best breakfast sandwich ever! I had a strawberry matcha and loved it as well! Customer service was great too:) awesome to find another local business to support! Also as a momma with a lil it was really nice to have a variety of activities to keep my toddler occupied while I ate with two hands- if ya know you know.

    Small and quaint but DELICIOUS! We had a bacon, egg, cheese, tomato, and avocado spread on ciabatta and it did not disappoint. I love how they have board games and card games to keep you entertained while u wait or give u a reason to just hang out and order dessert. The pistachio chocolate croissant had my daughter asking for one togo.

    What a hidden gem! Everything is freshly baked! My latte was delicious! I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon on focaccia and my husband got the breakfast sandwich on a croissant. It was clear that the breads were freshly baked. Highly recommend.

    Delicious pastries and empanadas. We both had cappuccinos and shared a few pastries and two empanadas. Everything was delicious and the owners were very nice. They were out of croissants when we were there but we are looking forward to going back to try them.

    I rode my bicycle into Oviedo for a visit to Solary Park. I was looking out across the water thinking there really were no places to get a really good cup of coffee downtown. I pedaled up to the shopping center and, lo and behold, Flakes & Fables! Since I had already had something to eat, only a cup of coffee, very rich indeed, was in order. But the menu is very diverse and the breakfast sandwiches are customizable. There aren't many choices in downtown Oviedo, but this little café, run by a couple of fresh and friendly faces, is unique and worth a visit. Hopefully, I'll be going to Flakes & Fables once a week!

I decided to do the large size iced Thai tea with brulee on top (about 7 dollars). After ordering, we waited in an open space in the back. A couple minutes later, my tea came. I think I ordered my tea half sweet, which was perfect as I can enjoy the flavors of the Thai tea. The brulee on top added more sweetness when I needed it. After finishing the tea, I ate the brulee, which matched the creme brulee taste from the restaurants. Service was friendly and there was ample room to sit and enjoy the tea. Smooth jazz music was in the background, making the environment inviting. While you order at the counter, the staff delivers the tea to you. This was a very nice tea place in Oviedo. Since it is very close to the park at Oviedo, it is awesome to refresh after a great dinner and a nice walk at the park. Definitely my go-to place for tea in Oviedo!

    Delicious food, but long wait!…read more My friends and I dined in here yesterday for brunch and I decided on an iced latte and the BLT waffle. The iced latte wasn't my favorite but it got the job done. I ordered an iced latte with almond milk and honey and cinnamon, and the honey was compiled at the bottom rather than being melted underneath the espresso. My friends ordered a burrito and one of the rice bowls and I ordered the BLT waffle. It took over 30 minutes for our food to come out and once it arrived, my BLT waffle did not have any bacon on it. I notified the staff and then they brought out the bacon shortly after. Everything was delicious and we cleaned our plates. Our only complaint was the long wait time, but my friend said that that was pretty typical for this location. I will gladly come back and try more menu items! The patio area was very peaceful with lounge chairs and umbrellas and was very aesthetically pleasing.

They offer a few sugar free syrup options and they have alternative milk options. I think next time I will try something else on their menu. Now let's talk food because it's not just coffee and pastries they have a breakfast menu with different options like breakfast sandwiches to avocado toast. I had the avocado toast and thought it was pretty good. It's wasn't heavy on the avocado (very thin layer) which is my only note. They had a variety of pastries which all looked delicious. Will have to come back and try the one that was plantain based. Customers service is as good. They brought our drinks and food to us. The cafe space itself was great. Looks of seating and a variety of seating from indoors and outdoor including swings in the outside patio. Overall definitely a place to try out.

I was really excited for the guava matcha. While I love their matcha, I was a little underwhelmed by how little guava flavor came through.

The carrot cake croissant was incredible! I also tried the jalapeño goat cheese scone and was pleasantly surprised by the level of spice. I could eat that every day!

I also got a pastry in the form of a chocolate croissant, and the croissant part was one of the best with a super crispy crunchy exterior, but there could have been more of the chocolate filling. It was more than some others I've had, but still not enough. Is there ever enough filling though? It's not convenient for me, so I doubt I'll be back to give it another try. I was expecting some toasty and roasty coffee. Plenty of other coffee places popping up.

Sure, the people are nice enough, but I am quite literally ALWAYS waiting 15 minutes for a single coffee. Often times its more, like 20-25 minutes. Like literally every time I patiently wait and it hits me - "hey, I've been waiting a while, wheres my drink?" The food comes out quicker than the coffee usually! I ordered food from a place across the street, walked over to Craft, order a coffee, it took 18 minutes, and then by the time I picked up the food and got back - my food was cold. Crazy work. All the other shops do it fine; Deeply, Stemma, Lineage. Framework etc - their average wait time is like 5-8 minutes once you order. Craft has some serious issue with the efficiency of their barista line. And I am aware craft coffee isn't immediate unless you're getting drip - I'm only ordering an Americano, its one of the easiest beverages to make. I will sometimes even people who ordered after me get something fancy and then get their drink before mine! And to that note, its not the best coffee. Its surely good, its quality; but they're not making the best stuff in town. If there's some extra steps or something going on, its not worth making me wait at minimum 15 minutes for a drink when there's literally no line, 5 people sitting down in the shop and 6 employees. It makes me not want to go to this shop ever, its just so unfortunately convenient to where I work that its THE place to go. So thats why I'm writing this - were in the same space and I want to see them improve their wait times. They've been consistently bad for far too long! EDIT: I forgot I wrote a review in 2023 being more forgiving but still complaining about wait times. Well, clearly that has not been fixed!
