    This little Gelato shop is located at the Lowes Portofino Bay hotel at Universal! They have a variety of flavors you can choose from including drinks and candy bars! If you are unsure about a flavor you can try it first and you can get two different flavors! I got a small cup with Birthday Cake and Caramel Cookie! I definitely recommend these two flavors. The only reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars out of 5 is because I also bought a water bottle and it cost me $7.50, now I completely understand that this is a tourist place but $7.50 for a water bottle is absolutely outrageous.

    Gelateria Caffe Espresso is a gelato spot at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel within Universal. It's one of the few sweet shops located onsite at the hotels. There is a wide variety of Gelato flavors inside the Gelateria. It's located right next to Starbucks. There are other options that you can select from inside the Gelateria such as candy bars, cereals and much more! If you're looking for a amazing Gelato place, you should check out Gelateria Caffe Espresso. There are plenty of different and unique gelato flavors, but limited, to choose from. You can also sit outside at the tables and get amazing views of the Loews Portofino Bay Plaza/Bay area.

    Coffee and pistachio are my favorite dessert flavors. Cappuccino was not bitter or intense enough - very sweet. Pistachio was pretty good but needed more nuts. Both needed some salt. Texture is amazing and I enjoyed taking it back to eat cozied up in front of the TV.

    After dinner at Mama Della's, we stopped for a quick gelato across the plaza at the Portofino. They were about to close but hadn't started putting gelato away, as far as we could tell. The geletaria is connected to a Starbucks, which was also about to close. We tried a couple flavors before settling on the lemon meringue pie and the mint chocolate chip. The flavors were not too sweet, which was perfect. They had a few of the classic flavors that we've had in Italy but not any to pique my sister's interest. My mom and I shared the cup of gelato and it was just enough to eat slowly while we explored the hotel. As others have noted, the variety of flavors is limited, but we had enough to choose two flavors. Looking for a lower key dessert than at the sit down restaurants? This geletaria might be your best bet.

    The Gelateria is located within Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. The ladies behind the counter are super sweet and helpful. They sell Gelati, Smoothies, Shakes, and Sundaes. You can ask to sample any of the Gelati flavors. There are two sizes available for the Gelati: Small ($3) and Large ($4). I ordered a large, which came with 2 scoops. You can ask for 2 different flavors. Flavor options include Swiss Chocolate, Dolce De Leche, White Chocolate Raspberry, Spumoni, Mango, Vanilla, Mint, Strawberry, Cookie Dough, and Tiramisu. I was able to try the Swiss Chocolate, Dolce De Leche, and White Chocolate Raspberry. The Swiss Chocolate was smooth and creamy on my first visit. It was more chunky and icy on the second visit. The Docle De Leche had a wonderful caramel flavor and the White Chocolate Raspberry was fruity and refreshing. I wouldn't say that this is the best Gelati I have ever tasted, but it was impressive for a Universal Orlando Resort on-site Hotel. Sal's Market Deli is also right beside the Gelateria. Overall, this is a nice place to satisfy your sweet tooth and cool down from the heat.

    Not much of a variety, but the dolce flavor was delicious! Two scoops were plenty for two people!

It was bagged nicely and well organized. The omelette was a generous sized portion with plenty of tender chicken, peppers, and cheese. There was salsa to add a bit of flavor, but it tasted that it was made in New York City (if you remember that commercial ;) ). The white toast was soft and buttery, and the potatoes were good. My mom enjoyed the banana pecan waffles, and I took a couple bites as well. It was sinfully sweet and enjoyable, especially the bananas. And I must say the coffee was so good, it was even better than the Juan Valdez coffee that I make at home. Since I didn't visit the restaurant, I can't comment on the atmosphere. But I believe the service is excellent because they nicely packed all items and kept it organized. I definitely need to take my family to this restaurant. Since the one in Metrowest closed, this is the closest one to us. I am glad the food is still excellent and the coffee keeps you peppy. This is definitely a great breakfast restaurant in the Dr. Phillips area. Overall: A

I found this place on Yelp looking for some French food since I was too full on this trip to go to the French pavilion in Epcot and I was craving French brunch. This place was great. I got the lunch combination with a choice of soup or salad (I opted for soup du jour, which was a tomato soup) and the Croque madame. I paired my meal with the seasonal selection of matcha, the blueberry Matcha. Service was pretty quick and the food and drink were amazing. Croque Madame was cheesy and delicious with a yummy runny egg. The matcha was sweet and had the blueberry flavor from the whipped cream. The tomato soup was savory, creamy, and with tomato flavor and came with two slices of baguettes, which were great to dip up the soup. If I'm ever back in Orlando I would 100% make a stop by here again.

The newest member of our party ordered just a breakfast sandwich. The food was delicious. We have come to anticipate and expect great food taste and flavors at Le Cafe De Paris. We got there shortly after the restaurant opened for the day so we didn't have to wait long to order and receive the food and drinks. Even the coffee is great. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

Plus an omelet, french toast, and waffle station. Just a warning that those stations do take awhile! I had the Elvis French toast and I enjoyed it. Im not really a big peanut butter fan but it does tied together with the banana and caramel. For about $36 + tax, not bad at all! Plus for brunch, they have a person singing in the restaurant.

Our kids had the buffalo chicken wings and split the short rib ragout and a Caesar salad. They loved the wings and thoroughly enjoyed the ragout. The Caesar salad was very crispy and fresh. They said it was very tasty!! My wife and I had the pumpkin and sweet potato bisque and shared a fall market Salad. The soup is a must try and the fall market salad is a must try as well! Fresh greens with candied nuts and a sweet vinegar dressing. Both were super yummy! For dessert we had the Oktoberfest cookie skillet which was a soft baked cookie. With pretzel inside served with a caramel sauce and topped with ice cream. It is to die for!! My kids and wife said we didn't need dessert so I ordered it. As soon as it arrived we all tried a little bit. I expected them to put their spoons down since they did not want dessert. I was looking forward to having it all to myself. I have never seen three spoons move so fast as they attacked the dessert! It was incredible! The service was wonderful! Our server was Chris and he was spot on! Very attentive! The ambiance was very comfortable and pleasant to be in. We all said this was one of our better meals to have on our 10 day trip. We hope to be back soon!

Let's start with the OJ, delicious fresh and sweet (not too sweet either). Chix and waffles was amazing the waffles a 11/10 light and fluffy with the butter was rich and added flavor, i would definitely recommend. The chicken was very flavorful and very well seasoned. To the left of the picture is the biscuits delicious too, comes with jam. The smash browns were goood very light and bite size dipped them in bbq and was delicious. Lastly, the service was good nothing major you just go up order and bring it to your table easy. I love the place seems very family friendly with big tables for big parties with outside seating.

Maple Street Biscuit Company was on our way with good reviews on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. Easy parking, outdoor seating, some even with umbrellas or roofed to get away from the hot sun. Enough space to have our dog comfortably and not bother other people. The line to order was long, but don't worry, they move fast! In no time I was ordering, and almost as quick our food came out. Some items took a bit longer, like my latte, which honestly thought would come first, but not too long of a wait for it. They have biscuits, bowls, sandwiches, grits, and more. The grits were delicious. The chix strips and waffles were good but, will say one of the strips was mostly batter and very little meat. Thankfully I was full but for someone looking for a real full meal, they would have been disappointed. The waffles were very well done though. Overall a very solid option for a quick breakfast/brunch spot.
