We each enjoyed our coffee too. I will say the large size was a lot bigger than we had anticipated. Nothing to complain about obviously, just something to note for reference. We went around noon, and the cafe was clean and quiet. It was a great place for us to stop, chat, and enjoy some sweet treats. The staff was very kind and friendly too. :)

Food: The beignets are delicious but really pretty small. They make me want more but the fry on the dough was good and the glazes were very sweet and tasty. Service: Love the service at the cafe. The staff are friendly, helpful, and engaging. They go out of the way to help. Ambiance: This is a nice small store with lots of yummy fried dough smells. Nice decor and comfortable seating. Overall, this is worth the experience even if it is a touristy one. I highly recommend stopping by.

Haraz Coffee House is an amazing coffee shop chain and this particular location is located in a…read moresmall shopping plaza located on Alafaya Trail just north of East Colonial Drive (State Road 50). Haraz Coffee House got its start in Dearborn, Michigan back in 2021 when Hamzah Nasser opened the first location of Haraz Coffee House and the idea of bringing Yemeni coffee to the community. So what makes Yemeni coffee so special? Well, Yemeni is considered to be the birthplace of coffee with the beans grown at high elevations. The beans themselves have an incredibly rich flavor and while a bit higher than other Coffee, such a fantastic coffee is worth a little more. The service here was friendly and i ordered a pistachio latte (hot). I have to say that this coffee was absolutely fantastic. The ambiance here is very comfortable and really adds to the overall experience. I would definitely recommend this particular coffee shop and in particular, their pistachio latte. I give it a well-earned five stars and I can say that I will definitely return.

The server was kind and asked after if my items were up to standard, and everything tasted great to me. *Not pictured I ordered one baklava from the bakery there and the phone did not eat first, it was great and bite sized and I'll try to get a pic next time.

Our paninis were so HOT off the press with delicious flavors and the best pomegranate & raspberry hot tea, all perfect for a cool day in Orlando. The service was beyond 10 , the friendliest people I have met in a business ever. They even surprised us with a delightful dessert for my birthday to share. We all got baklava to go, so glad, because it is just the right texture of crisp and sweet, both the walnut and pistachio varieties. I also got a piece of Pistachio ricotta cake. To make our visit feel even more appreciated by the business, we were given goodbyes in the parking lot by hugs from the owner. This is what makes a good business great. Snagged a forkful when I got home. It was like eating air light flavorful whipped cream. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the great experience. And THANK YOU Diane and Mary Ellen for the surprise stop and lunch

It's the vegan version of their Mojo, and I was impressed with the creaminess and flavor of the vegan sweetened condensed milk. I also got the lil' sumthing breakfast wrap. It's priced for the size, which would be a generous street taco amount of food, and very tasty! The wrap was pressed with a nice crust to it and it came with a side of salsa. I can best describe the vibe inside as indie/grunge, but also local and welcoming.

It's creamy, cozy, and somehow still refreshing at the same time. What I appreciated most was the balance. A lot of seasonal drinks lean way too sweet, but this one lets the flavors actually breathe. You still get the spice from the chai. Definitely one of the more creative seasonal drinks I've had lately, and Craft & Common nailed it.

The interior design of Luminescent is top-tier - this feels like a trendy coffee shop you'd find in LA, something the East side of Orlando really needed! This is a great space to come and work or study - their music isn't too loud, and there's ample (and well spaced out) seating. The baristas were incredibly helpful when I found myself indecisive about menu options, and more importantly they make a mean latte. Overall, Luminescent shows attention to detail in everything they do. From fresh flowers on the tables to purse hooks on the bar, and fresh fruit garnishes, you can tell the Luminescent team is truly committed to providing a great customer experience.

They also answered questions about the menu and gave a recommendation for honey cloud later as it's most popular. I ordered the cloud foam honey latte. To be very honest, this drink was not for me. The honey was overpowering and bitter, it kind of ruined the taste of the coffee. Overall, this place is cute! But it's really crowded, not great for remote work and didn't love the drink.

We tried the red potion and the carrot cake latte. The latte was the star of the drinks with cream cheese foam and the perfect cinnamon and spice flavor.

Lots of parking and staff was kind.

I wouldn't work from here due to the limited space, low tables (bad for posture), and general hecticness of the environment but it's a cute spot for sure!

This café has a wonderful, zen-like ambiance that immediately feels calming despite how busy it was. There was a fairly long line when we arrived, which seemed like a good sign, but the staff kept things moving efficiently and provided friendly service throughout. I ordered the matcha latte, and it was quite good. The matcha had a rich, smooth flavor without being overly bitter, and it tasted like they use a higher-quality grade of matcha. As someone who enjoys matcha, I could definitely appreciate the difference. The combination of the relaxing atmosphere, quality drinks, and attentive service made for an enjoyable visit. Even with the crowd, the experience felt pleasant and unhurried. I would happily stop by again the next time I'm looking for a good matcha latte and a peaceful place to recharge.

Bright, clean, and dialed in with pastries that actually look as good as they photograph. You walk in thinking you'll make a quick, responsible choice. Two minutes later you're staring at the case like you're drafting a fantasy team. We went with the cream puff and that was the right move. Light, airy, not overly sweet, and gone in about three bites flat. No notes. Tried the crème brûlée pastry too. Points for creativity all day. It's a cool concept and well executed, just didn't hit the same level as the cream puff. Still good, just not the headliner. And the iced tea deserves a mention. Strong. Like, actually strong. Not the watered-down afterthought you get at most spots. This one shows up with purpose. Overall, easy four stars. Fun stop, great vibe, and a menu that keeps things interesting without trying too hard. Just don't kid yourself into thinking you're only ordering one thing. That plan falls apart immediately.
