This is one of the most friendly and welcoming businesses in central Florida, and I absolutely adore them for it. This place is counter order with full table service. I believe before the pandemic that you self served drinks, but the full service change has definitely been for the better. They've got a rotating list of specials that you can see on their instagram too. This place always delivers quality food. Their fried chicken is excellent, I've never seen an overcooked egg, their grits are amazing, their gravies are perfect, their biscuits are to die for, and their Mac n cheese is creamy delicious goodness. I haven't tried their lunch menu myself because I can't bring myself to not order breakfast. Between the Minnie pearl, three little pigs, seventh trimester, their specials, and even their sausage sandwich, nothing on a lunch menu could ever tempt me away. And don't even get me started on their bakery! Their bakery is a separate counter with cakes, cookies, handpies, brownies, and whoopie pies. Their selection is rotating and I've genuinely never been disappointed. Usually I have to take their stuff to go because I'm so full from breakfast, and it's usually pretty rich. This place is an Orlando staple and I hope they're open and successful for as long as they wish to be. I know I'll be back as long as they're still cooking.

It was really loud and there wasn't many soft surfaces to help absorb that sound. The location did appear to be clean. Now let's get to the food. I ordered the fried chicken benedict. Huge sprig of rosemary. Cayenne pepper (if it wasnt cayenne then idk what it was but thats what it tasted like) . Hollandaise was like glue. Maybe it was supposed to be gravy? Batter didnt stay on the chicken. Scrambled eggs in the chicken batter with a slice of cheese. Deep fried raw spaghetti noodles (why???). 2 pieces of bacon. Tomatoes. A pile of uncooked spinach. Frozen biscuit (if it wasnt frozen, you need a new biscuit maker). Mashed potatoes from a bag. Orange slice. Cantaloupe slice. This was a terrible version. Stop. Leave the stupid rosemary off your dishes. It looks stupid and not everyone likes rosemary. I dont recommend this place. Go to Dennys or Waffle House.

My most recent visit I tried the black sesame latte which is perfectly sweetened with a good amount of the nutty black sesame cream. Also the strawberry matcha is delicious. I always recommended the Seoul iced coffee for new friends that like sweeter drinks. On a weekend the line is long but moves very quickly, and seating can get full so I wouldn't plan on finding a place to lounge unless it's a weekday. You can't go wrong with the quality and consistency here!!

This café has a wonderful, zen-like ambiance that immediately feels calming despite how busy it was. There was a fairly long line when we arrived, which seemed like a good sign, but the staff kept things moving efficiently and provided friendly service throughout. I ordered the matcha latte, and it was quite good. The matcha had a rich, smooth flavor without being overly bitter, and it tasted like they use a higher-quality grade of matcha. As someone who enjoys matcha, I could definitely appreciate the difference. The combination of the relaxing atmosphere, quality drinks, and attentive service made for an enjoyable visit. Even with the crowd, the experience felt pleasant and unhurried. I would happily stop by again the next time I'm looking for a good matcha latte and a peaceful place to recharge.

I have to say the single patty was better than the two. A lot juicier and richer in flavor in my opinion. I inhaled the fries. I also drank a banana bread latte and that was super tasty! The server said that it was on the sweet side but I found it very balanced and not too sweet at all. This was my first time not getting breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised. The burgers are actually quite large so shareable if you're not super hungry. Outdoor dining was great. Service was great as well.

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. This is my longest review but just good things about this place!!! Definitely would recommend.

Unfortunately, I believe my party of six may have caught them on a bad day. I can't remember the exact name of my meal however I do know that I got the scrambled eggs, biscuit, bacon, and the hash brown (it's a meal). As well as the cinnamon roll biscuit on the side. The two things that I loved were the biscuit and the hash brown. Despite the biscuit being lukewarm, it was very fluffy and delicious so I'm going to give it points for that. The croquettes were potatoes with green onion. They were cooked to perfection perfectly crispy on the outside, but still fluffy and seasoned on the inside. They were a five out of five. The bacon tasted as if they cooked it 30 minutes prior and just let it sit under a warm warmer. The same goes for the eggs. I actually could not eat the eggs because they were cold and were the texture of the free eggs you get at a hotel breakfast. Three people out of my party of six had to send their food back because it was not hot. I will say staff was very nice about it but when you order food, it should be hot. The chai latte that I ordered. Was delicious. The fried green tomatoes were also very good. I did not order them but someone in my party did and of course I tasted them. The cinnamon roll biscuit was just OK. It wasn't terrible and it wasn't great. Again, the service was excellent. Everyone was very kind, but I can't say this is a restaurant that I HAD to visit again. Would I swing by if I was in the area possibly; probably just to get a biscuit. So overall, my experience wasn't that great but it wasn't terrible either.

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.

Now, though? They make you stand out in the dark parking lot and wait with those weirdoes as a security guard eyes you from the door.

I guess I won't be going back.
