    Smoked Cappuccino 16oz
    Dan B.

    This is a great place to grab a coffee or a craft brew. Seeing how it was 11am I opted for the former ...and maybe someday will try the latter, ha! I opted for one of their specialty drinks - the "Smoked Cappuccino". This is an espresso, with choice of milk, rosemary syrup, smoked with cherry wood chips and rosemary, and served hot. The employee was attentive, friendly, and polite. He had my drink made in a matter of minutes and my 16oz drink ($6.00) was delicious! The inside has a bar area seating for approximately 6-8 people. Additionally, there's indoor table seating, as well as two outdoor tables for those wishing to enjoy the outdoor experience. I recommend you check them out! Hours: Monday: 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM Tuesday-Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 AM Thursday-Saturday: 9:00 AM - 1:00 AM Sunday: 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM

    How did they know tho?!

    This review is just about their coffee/service/ambiance, we did not eat while we were here. The first thing that I noticed when walking in is that it's set up like a cozy bar. You wouldn't think they were selling coffee, but you can definitely smell it when you walk in as well as see all the different options to choose from on the board. Definitely creative when it comes to the coffee selections, never seen something like it anywhere else not even starbucks. You can tell that there was a lot of thought put into these crafted drinks. I order the raspberry one (I forget the name of it). It was really good but I wish I had asked if it would be sweet because it was way too sweet for my taste, but the flavor in itself was great, it didn't taste artificial. My friend ordered the smokey and she thought it wasn't sweet enough so we end up switching our drinks and happily sat on the comfortable sofa while we looked at the retro decor. It gave me 90's flashbacks being there. They had a bunch of craft beers listed as well so if craft beer is your jam, I'd try it out; but as for me, I'd definitely come back for a coffee here. Well done, well priced, great service.

    This is a cute little spot with a great selection of beers. They also have wine, mead and coffee too. I've been here about 3 times and the servers were great every time. There's bar seating, 4 tables and a couch. I stop here every time I'm in the area and will continue to do so!

    Great place to stop in for a bite, coffee or just learn about Mount Dora from a local or two. I was out for a walk and started getting way too hot (cause you know summer) so I stopped into Serendipity Brews to cool off and grab an iced coffee. As I was looking at the menu they had so much more than I thought, from coffee drinks to booze drinks and from a simple bagel to a hearty breakfast burrito. They also had an area that looked like a band preformed at. The staff was super nice and gave some tips on places to stop by. I not only got my coffee I also stayed a bit to chat and got a bagel which was WAY better than expected! I would absolutely make this a stop on my list.

    Cute little spot, walkable street parking. Few spots outside to sit and eat inside a handful of spots was pretty packed when I went. There are also bar spots. Did eat food just coffee. Ordered the $5 mocha, the hot chocolate with coffee twist was good, didn't taste overly sweet. A nice assortment of unique drinks. The baristas were quick and friendly. Would come here again when in mount dora.

    We recently spent a day in Mt. Dora and this was one of the last spots we tried. It's a nice and cozy space serving coffee, sweets, and beers. The people working were friendly and happy to give recommendations. We tried a few different beers and enjoyed them. The best one for me was an Untitled Art red velvet pastry stout recommended by an employee. It tasted like red velvet cake in a glass, very rich and indulgent. It was the perfect nightcap to end our evening. I'd definitely come back here either for coffee or beers and just to relax for a bit and enjoy the chill atmosphere.

    We walked in and waited. The barista was there helping a couple in front of us. We were not greeted. She went to the back so we decided to use the restroom. We came out and she was still not back. When she came back, she continued to help the couple in front of us. We still were never greeted. Then she went in the back again. Absolute worst service!

    Serendipity was a nice cool spot to check while in Downtown Mt Dora. It has a selection of craft draft and canned beers. They also had a selection of handmade coffees and food which we did not try but looked pretty decent. I recommend stopping by!

    Yum yum yum! Such a cute and quaint coffee bar. They offered many seasonal options, and the barista suggested the Christmas Crack, so on her suggestion that's what I tried! She was also very attentive, as I had asked about the syrups being non-dairy and she said they all were (yay for them for thinking of that!!) However, I completely forgot to ask for non dairy milk in my actual latte!! The barista caught my error and actually came over to me as I'd waited and asked to confirm the milk! I was super impressed with her attentiveness! I let her decide for me and she made an excellent choice of cashew milk! My drink was AMAZING!! Sweet and salty, such a combination I never thought to have but perfect!!

    Really cute coffee place in Mt Dora. We were in the mood for a festive coffee and this place definitely fit the bill. Such clever names for their holiday coffees and a comfy interior. The first coffee was served on the cool side not hot so we asked for her to make another and she did. The rest of our coffees were nice and hot and tasty. I had the Mariah Freaking Carey- just the right amount of peppermint and chocolate. My sis in law and mil got the Cookie Butter - they both enjoyed it.

    Good place to stop in for coffee or a drink. Open all day long for your pleasure. Good brews on tap and although I didn't try the coffee I want to. It looks delicious!

    The cold foam's are super good. The favoring they add doesn't taste artificial like other coffee shops.

Now, someone might complain that's harsh considering the beer choices here, but I maintain that when it comes to craft beer, the selection is more limited here than any other ABC location. ABC typically has far less variety than a Total Wine, but this store has rearranged things and essentially gutted their beer shelves even more than it was before. I went looking for a special beer that I could buy up to 9 units on their website directly from this store, yet when I asked the grumpy worker for help, he said they don't have it. He didn't have an explanation for why I could buy 9 on their website and I'm not sure he even knew what I was looking for, as he kept thinking the brewery was the name of the beer. In the past when I've been here (and not needed help), you get someone asking if you need help every 3 minutes. Go figure. Liquor store first, wine store second, beer store last.

However, they also have a very poor selection of beer in general. Beer staples such as Miller High Life or Genuine Draft or even Bud Light Platinum. Save yourself a separate trip and if you shop at Publix, buy your refreshments there! I have made a number of trips to ABC after shopping at Publix and regretted it because they did not have what I am looking for. So back to Publix. It is a shame because the store staff is pretty good but inventory going down hill!

The cashier lines move slowly at times, but I suspect that is due to customers more than cashiers: the customers who don't look for their credit card until they are told the total, or who need remedial training in using their card, or perhaps have to dig deep into their chamber of horrors purse to excavate for couch coins. I was told this branch used to have the same 25 cent system to use the shopping carts as Aldi's, but they had to end it as customers didn't appreciate having to spend a quarter to take their cart off-site and ditch it near their homes. Or something like that. Anyway, mostly I shop at Aldi's for the lower prices, but we buy some items here either because we can't find it elsewhere or because it is on sale.

The buttermilk spilled onto my clothing and into my hair and onto my skin. I think the product was tampered with. I think it was done by someone facing the product as it was seated on the refrigerator shelf. It was only when the Save A Lot supervisor or manager, came over did we discover it was a fine slit on the carton front. When the carton was seated it didn't leak and the slit was not observable until the carton was lifted and then the internal pressure from the milk caused it to open. A stock person would have had to lift it to the top shelf and place it onto the shelf and if it were slit it would have leaked then. So I do not think a stock person placed this item with this leak on the shelf. I think the store response to a customer who is covered in buttermilk, could have been better. I was given a towel of unknown origin to wipe the milk off. I had to go home wash my hair, shower and change clothes as I smelled like buttermilk and my top was visibly wet. Otherwise I have not have any issues with this store, it has good products and prices and it is clean.
