Finally stopped in for brunch and easily found seating at the bar but also went pretty early on a Saturday. I think there's room to jazz up the vibe with music or a live band; overall make it livelier. Options for mimosas are a single, a trio with different juices... or a mermosa; half a bottle of champs served in a goblet!! For starters, we tried the fried green tomatoes which were perfectly crispy but could have used a little more spice in the flavor department. Although the remoulade sauce for dipping packed a tiny bit of heat. Entrees were typical spinach omelet and a grits breakfast bowl with toppings. Both were tasty and cooked perfectly but pretty standard. I definitely plan to go back and try other options on the menu especially since can get breakfast or lunch anytime.

I have been eating at the Briarpatch Restaurant for over 40 years and have totally enjoyed the chunky chicken salad. But this time, the salad was not chunky it was a typical shredded chicken salad with too much pepper - not the traditional chicken salad I have had over the past 40 years. Ownership needs to do something about this.

We both started with a cup of coffee and a large glass of fresh orange juice. Everything was so fresh and delicious! I ordered the French toast with fresh fruit and mascarpone cheese. OMG, it was SO good! I didn't even need extra syrup because the mascarpone and fresh fruit blended together into the perfect naturally sweet breakfast. Every bite was delicious! My partner had the best breakfast, too. He ordered the short rib, and it was incredibly tender and flavorful. The potatoes were perfectly crispy, just the way we like them! We were both so happy and left feeling like we had just enjoyed an amazing breakfast. Our waiter was super cool and provided wonderful hospitality. He made our experience even better. The restaurant is always beautiful, clean, and welcoming. I highly recommend this spot! If you're looking for a delicious breakfast with great service and a beautiful atmosphere, Briarpatch is definitely worth a visit!

However, they always have fun creations popping up in their case. Some fan favorites are the Mango Sticky Rice Tart and literally any of their pop tarts. The staff is kind and efficient.

However, they have plenty of outdoor seating that's perfect for hanging out with friends on a Sunday morning. Literally one of my favorite spots. Thank you Buttermilk for being THAT girl.

I have been a Buttermilk Bakery fan for well over a decade. Until this last weekend…read more I got online at 8:15 in the morning to place my order. Each item that I selected came up with a message that read, "Our store is not currently accepting orders." I tried again a few minutes later. Then again. And again. And again. I tried to call and received a voicemail that stated a different number. At 8:50am, the option to order seemed to be back up and running. I ordered five items, including the Roasted Tomatoes & Goat Cheese Quiche. For context: I live 45 minutes away from Buttermilk Bakery. It used to be on my way to work but, as of a few years ago, that is not the case anymore. So, it is now a special occasion destination. Reserved only for weekends when I can make the trip. More context: I have been raving to one of my closet friends for years about how much I love this place. My most emphatic musings have been about the quiche. Today, since she and I were planning an afternoon poolside, I thought that I would surprise her with an assortment of Viennoiserie and other items. At 10:36am, I received a call from Buttermilk. The woman on the phone informed me that they had run out of the quiche. How?!? Once the website was working, I was able to place my order quickly and the item didn't even read, "Low stock." I know that this is a small problem in a world full of large problems, but the thing that really set me off is that when I arrived at the store, the person in line in front of me asked for the Strawberry Buttermilk Pie. He was told that they were out of stock. He was pleasant in stating that there appeared to be slices in the refrigerator case. The girl behind the register told him that they were being held for online orders. When it was my turn, I stated that no one had held my slice of quiche. She blandly said, "I am sorry," and proceeded. I then stated that I was unhappy and had driven some distance. She asked if I would like something else. I responded that the person on the phone had simply told me that I would receive a refund. I then asked for the girl to check on my refund. She said it was not processed yet. So, I said that I would wait. She needed to ask for help to process the refund. She wasn't nasty to me, but she did not care one iota. My effort and subsequent inconvenience meant nothing. I wonder if my refund would even have been processed had I not asked. My friend and I thought the pastries that we received were fine, but she is fitness-minded and was hesitant to indulge in so many carbs without the rich protein that the quiche would have provided. And, yet, more context: This happened once before. With the quiche. Maybe a year ago. Though, that time, I believe it was a butternut squash quiche. My husband needed to be in the area, so he suggested that he pick-up at Buttermilk. When he arrived, he was told that there would be no quiche. No call. No nothing. He didn't think to ask for a refund and we never received one. That time, I simply thought, "Well, accidents happen." This time, I think that I received very shoddy service. I felt very disrespected. I felt unseen. I have loved this place, but I am so disappointed.

Although this is simply a breakfast restaurant that mainly serves breakfast sandwiches, biscuits, and coffee, the biscuits are so amazing here that I truly feel it is worth a visit!

If you're looking for a great breakfast spot with fresh food, friendly service, and a good atmosphere, I definitely recommend giving Rise a try!

The portion is huge and it was about $40 for our meal, which given the size of the salad, it's reasonable. Overall, the service and food were great!

We started off with their mimosa frescas which is bubbly paired with homemade agua fresca. Today's flavor was strawberry kiwi -- yum! My husband also got the black & white coffee drink which is horchata + cold brew, and he really enjoyed it. We're already fanatics for their chips & salsa lazy Susan setup. We're obsessed with both the green salsas. They also give you a warm red salsa and a spicy/smoky one. For our mains, I got the eggs, chorizo, and potatoes with a side of smoked bacon. My husband got the migas al carbon (breakfast tacos) with chicken. Both are served with your choice of tortillas and refried beans. Dang, their beans are good and I'm not usually a fan of them. They got our toddler's seal of approval, too. Our server was the sweetest and she even brought out a complimentary house made popsicle for our son at the end of the meal. He loved it! We'll for sure be adding Superica into our brunch rotation!

Expected a few cafe staples but there are sandwiches and a stacked breakfast menu available all day. I ordered a sea salt iced latte and French toast. It was yummy and so aesthetically pleasing. Minuscule point deduction though because they don't have real maple syrup but that's probably a tall ask for a coffee shop. This really is a nice coffee grab if you're in Winter Park. The staff are friendly and the cafe was comfy. Good place to get some work or reading done or just catch up with a friend! And they even have parking! Can be tricky in winter park.

Elegant, glossy, and almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Taste & Texture: 4/5 -- This cake is RICH rich. Deep, dark chocolate, decadent layers, and the kind of cake where you take a bite and need a moment of silence afterward. The cake itself? BLISS. Moist, luxurious, chocolatey perfection. My only little "ehhh" was the texture of the glaçage drip. Personally, it wasn't my favorite mouthfeel--but listen, that did NOT stop my fork from continuing its ministry. If you like your chocolate cake dark, decadent, rich, and a little sexy... baby, this is the move. Basically, this isn't "lemme grab a little piece of cake." This is "close the blinds, cancel my plans, and leave me alone with this chocolate decadence." Chocolate Duet Cake: 4/5 Would absolutely commit chocolate sins again.

I'm a big fan of potatoes for breakfast, and they were seasoned great. The egg on top really put things together, and the steak was cooked and sliced neatly as well. My girlfriend enjoyed their food as well as it came with chips and was more of a hand style breakfast. They complimented the salsa and appreciated the avocado on top. Classic breakfast stop, you should check it out at least once.

It featured tofu (the menu says almond crusted, but it wasn't), house made lentil sausage, buttermilk ranch dressed kale, spicy aioli, on a brioche bun. It was SO good and I would absolutely order it again. 10/10 vegetarian option. We also got the herbed chicken salad panini and, again, super impressed! It's on toasted sourdough and came with our choice of side (oven baked sweet potatoes). The chicken salad itself was full of herbs and stood out! The sweet potatoes were also spiced and were a treat, not an afterthought. I loved the aioli dip that came with them and found myself dipping everything in it! I also got a matcha and an iced cortado. The matcha was fab- with a seasonal blueberry syrup. The coffee was actually a bit of a disappointment. It tasted burnt and we didn't love it. Quick shoutout to Matt at the counter who was a GEM when we were making our brunch picks. A friendly staff member can really elevate an experience!! Finally, they carry really good natural wines. I know because I've had those bottles at Golden Hour in Baldwin Park and they are standouts. Next time, I'm grabbing some wine!

This is a fast casual establishment where you order at the counter and they deliver your food to your table. We ordered drip coffee, Fig latte frittata and burrito in the bowl. The burrito in the bowl could've used more flavor and the bacon wasn't as crispy as I'd prefer, but the potatoes on the side were pretty good. The Frittata looked and tasted amazing. The sauce was on point! The latte was really smooth and felt like a hug. They have a good amount of outdoor seating and it's shaded which works perfect for those hot Florida days. Will definitely be back and see what other seasonal offerings they might have in the future!

My cardinal rule when judging a café is simple: if the coffee -- be it a robust espresso or a…read morevelvety café con leche -- impresses, there's a strong chance the kitchen will follow suit. At Roses, this theory stands validated. Returning after a hiatus of over five years, and with the space having transformed from its previous incarnation, I found myself pleasantly surprised. The service was attentive without being intrusive, setting a warm tone for the morning. The coffee was impeccable -- rich, balanced, and expertly prepared -- a true marker of a café that understands its craft. The French toast I ordered was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, tender within, and satisfying enough to fuel a motorcycle ride on a bright Saturday morning. The atmosphere is quietly charming -- a laid-back, metro-inspired aesthetic that feels both familiar and effortlessly stylish. It's clear that Roses has cultivated a devoted local following, while also welcoming newcomers with open arms. Located conveniently for a weekend breakfast, Roses proved a worthy alternative after a missed opportunity elsewhere on Park Avenue. For those seeking a quintessential, no-fuss morning meal with great coffee and genuine hospitality, Roses earns a well-deserved two thumbs up.

(For example, the steak sandwich had the tiniest bit of chopped meat on it, and the chicken omelet had maybe 3 pieces of chopped chicken which was very dry.)

The one positive thing I will say is that the potato casserole is delicious and worth the upgrade.
