    Coffee and an empanada
    Anndria D.

    I stopped at Rita's on my way to yoga one morning because I was very early. This cafe is incredibly cute, I love the books everywhere (I'm a big reader). The woman who took my order was very sweet and the empanada, quesito and coffee I ordered were all so so good. I also love that they have community events like game nights and language nights. I will definitely be back and I have told anyone in my area who will listen to visit this cafe.

    Eclectic little coffee shop with great potential! The avocado toast and salad were outstanding, and the chicken empanadas were the clear favorite. Coffee was delicious too. Love the shelves of books, though they're for in-store reading only. They also host game nights and events, which adds to the charm. Still working out a few kinks, but definitely worth a visit--I'll be back!

    Charming, charming, charming! This lovely cafe in Lake Mary was my first stop this Father's Day because I'd heard the hazelnut latte was very good. Facts! What I wasn't expecting was to find a cafe with such "international" asperations of connecting people via a safe space (right next to the Lake Mary Sunrail), tasty bites, and excellent coffee. French Cafe is worth the visit if you appreciate good service from friendly staff and mellow vibes surrounded by books and music and maybe a language exchange thrown in for good measure. I will return to try one of their quiches and maybe even run into one of the beautiful keeshonds that greeted me today. Merci, French Cafe 1515! See you again soon - if I'm lucky.

    This place is unique and special in so many ways. First the food! We ordered a chicken empanada from the many flavors offered. We also got a homemade guava pastry. Wow! They were delicious--I even bough another pastry to take home. Other food offerings that sound good: Shepherd's Pie (in its own little crock), quiche, tres leche cake and homemade macaroon. The latte was awesome and beautifully crafted. The ambiance is European casual--like you're in a little shop off a cobblestoned street in Paris. There's a piano available for those who play. Lots of games for young and old. Plus this is literally right next to the Lake Mary Sun Rail station. You can come from any part of Orlando and enjoy a nice breakfast or lunch. Parking is convenient. They also have several tables with umbrellas outside during nicer weather. A bonus--the owner, Derek, introduced himself explaining their Language Exchange weekly event. On Saturday nights at 6:00 pm, they have 30-40 people come to learn a new language from someone who speaks it. They have a table for English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish, maybe more. These are the ones I remember. My friend and I felt like we were far away on vacation in some other country. I haven't been this excited over a new find in a long time. Well done, Derek!

    The young man at the counter had such a wonderful attitude and sweet way with all of the customers. He made me a fantastic smoothie and even gave me a tad bit that was left over that wouldn't fit in the glass. It's a great cozy little place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee or a light snack and snuggle back in the corner to relax.

    Cozy, yummy, just plain perfect! Enjoyed a breakfast here and will definitely be back. The atmosphere is wonderful and the avo toast was devine.

    The quiche
    Daniela C.

    Great breakfast spot! I ordered the quiche and it was absolutely delicious -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. My son had the breakfast empanada and loved it. We also tried one of their smoothies, which was fresh and tasty. We'll definitely be back

    What an adorable cafe in Lake Mary to grab a bite to eat near the Sunrail! French Cafe 1515 was an excellent place for drinks and light food. My friend and I took our kids here when we rode the Sunrail up from Winter Park. The cafe located literally right next to the Sunrail stop, so it's super convenient to go here. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We sat outside on the patio and she brought out our food to us. She even brought out some yard games for the kids to play with as well as some crayons and paper for them. This was such a kind gesture! My friend and I had some quiche and our boys had some sweet treats. Everything was delicious and I would love to come back again when riding the Sunrail up to Lake Mary.

    Looks like we found a charming new coffee spot to slip in little Honey's rotation! Magnifique! Pistachio cheesecake was absolutely delicious and I'm still reeling from the coffee. I'm the Great Cornholio!!! Lots of things on offer, snacky bits, confections, fresh quiche and croissants, and such. And because they're right on the Lake Mary Sunrail stop, they're super convenient for anyone on the go. Might even be exciting just to take the train in sometime. Why not? Lol

    Hot Chai Tea Late

    Cute little gem directly next to the Lake Mary Sunrail Station. The hot chai late was actually one of the better I have ever had. Cute little old school home town vibe inside. Yum!

The butterfinger was really only crumbled over the top that I could tell and the brownies had a lot more frosting to brownie ratio than I would have liked. However, the brownie that was there was delicious! Just wish there was a bit less frosting and a bit more brownie!

When I arrived to florida quesitos were one of the main treats I was searching for, I visited several pastry places and had been heavily dissatisfied and disappointed. Until I was told about Pan Pan (Thank you Lauren) CALLING ALL PUERTO RICANS AND LATINOS, the most amazing quesitos are right here !!!! They don't keep many on their shelves, they bake a fresh batch every morning and afternoon, this ensures we (the consumers) get them the way they're supposed to be. Flaky, sweet, tarty, crunchy OOOOMMMGGG IT'S ALWAYS AMAZING. And lucky You if you get one nice and warm their cafe latte is done so right every time, not falling behind their breakfasts as well. Anyone not giving 4/5 stars is just a difficult customer. They do take their time making your food "MAKING" your food, not reheating food. What more can you ask for? if you're in a rush, call ahead, your food will still be waiting on you, hot and fresh. If you don't believe me, it's all your loss and it's totally okay cause it's more for me my colleagues and family if you want an average quesitos, coffee, or breakfasts go wherever. If you want amazing, go to PAN PAN. See ya there.

There is a bit of a language barrier but the owner was very sweet and helpful when describing her baked goods; they also have dine in options, as well a sandwiches! The empanada dough was perfectly crisp and light, with a slight saltiness to it, which helped to enhance the fillings flavor; my favorite was the beef empanada (i forgot to take a picture ). The flavor wasnt heavy tasting which I loved alot. I wanted to like the spinach one as much as the beef one, but it did lack the savory punch I was looking for. The guava pastry kind of reminded me of the chinese sugar donuts just with lotss of guava filling in it; super delicious and not too sweet! The dulce de leche was the yummiest pastry I had; its not like other dulce de leches where it just tastes heavily of condensed milk. This was so light and fluffy.
