Tucked away in the Alafaya Commons center, Fable Coffee is the definition of a hidden gem. This…read morefantasy-themed cafe transports you from hectic Central Florida into a cozy oasis filled whimsical decor, welcoming staff, and all of the books and board games you could dream of. The drink specialties are not only creative, but also well-executed. If you get a chance to visit this Spring, their Carrot Cake Latte (coffee or matcha) tastes just like diving into a piece of cake - with the most incredible cream cheese foam topping!

I stopped by Fable as it was part of the Orlando May coffee crawl. All of the drinks had super cute…read moreFantasy themes. The inside of the cafe also has a fantasy theme, there's super cool art work and decor. Lots of seating available, so this place is great for remote work. The bakery section also has some really original themed treats. They also have a bunch of cute D&D dice and merch available. I ordered the whipped butter beer drink. It taste just like the Universal butter beer. It's a 10/10 drink, I get why it's a bestseller!

It's a good thing I don't live close to Luminescent, otherwise I don't think you'd be able to pry…read moreme away! 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.

Also, it's a nice place to meet someone or get a little work done in a quiet and clean environment. That said, I'd probably skip the bakery items. I've tried a few over time and they've either been stale or overcooked, which is disappointing given how good the drinks are. Come for the coffee, but maybe grab your pastry somewhere else.

You can enjoy reading a book or studying while enjoying your meal. The staff are very nice. And ate pretty quick in preparing what you order. We didn't wait too long for our order. Now the food was very good. The sandwich and the grilled cheese was pleasantly satisfying. The gooey cheese formed a string as you slightly bit into the grilled cheese and trying to stretch it as far as you could without breaking the string of cheese. The latte my husband enjoyed to the fullest. It was exactly what he needed to warm his belly. And the soup did the same to me. Such a warm sensation warming the rest of my body. Can't wait to return. It surely is a treat! I have my eye on a few things I would like to try next.

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.

I also enjoyed the matcha with lavender, if you are on the sweet side of things, I recommend asking for it be sweeten. The place is a great space to relax, study, or hang out. The inside design of the space is beautiful and the black and white flower paintings on the walls adds a great touch to the space. 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. I plan to come back to try new items but overall great experience.

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.

Lots of seating here and most days you'll probably find it full of college students as it's just down the street from UCF. I tried a barista special coffee and it was decent. A lot of their specialty drinks are super sweet unless you ask for otherwise. I do like the assortment of pastries and goodies they have here. There's also a drive thru which can be a convenient option. Plenty of seating in here to be able to sit and stay for awhile.

I believe I got him an iced coffee with oat milk and butterscotch flavoring and a double shot of espresso; my coffee was only $5.25!! Normally if I got that same order at Starbucks it would've been like 10 bucks. Before he has a sip of his coffee, I will actually be tasting it because I've never had Foxtail coffee before. I really like the spot in particular they have a drive-through so if I'm in my car or making errands, I can just do the drive-through. The person doing the drive-through and making the coffee is very quick. I've only been waiting about 3 to 5 minutes so far. Just took a sip of my friends coffee that I got him and it tastes amazing. I will definitely be stopping at Foxtail more often. !!

You can tell the quality is there -- super flavorful, creamy, and not overly artificial tasting. Every bite was rich and satisfying, and honestly I couldn't even wait to take a proper picture before digging in. Second, the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They clearly love what they do. They took their time recommending flavors, let us try different samples, and made the whole experience feel fun instead of rushed. That level of friendliness really makes a place memorable. And lastly, I LOVED that they had games available to play. Such a cute and thoughtful touch! It made the visit feel more like a cozy hangout than just a quick dessert stop. Sitting there, playing games, and enjoying good ice cream was such a vibe. Overall, such a sweet little spot with great energy, great service, and delicious ice cream. Definitely a place I'd come back to again and again.

My colleagues and I sat in a table while I waited for my ice cream. It came a couple minutes later, and it was just as good as the last time I came. So sweet and creamy. It tasted natural and homemade, with the amazing taro flavor. There were also 3 nice scoops of the ice cream, so I insisted my colleagues to take a bite as well. It was sinfully good! The service was still good and the atmosphere looked kid friendly with board games available. I also saw a board where customers could write messages, but didn't see a marker available. I still really enjoy the ice cream at Ice & Bites, and really need to try different flavors and their teas as well. This was an amazing end to a great dinner with my awesome colleagues. Overall: A
