I Love Orlando Cafe - Orlando (FL)

3 /5 Christine Steinmetz: This cafe was okay, it was decorated in a cute and whimsical way but overall I wouldn’t recommend it or go back. The serving sizes were small and the food was okay. The drinks were too sweet ( espresso martini and mimosa). The tables and chairs were all too close together so it was difficult to have a group of 5 of us all eat there.

3 /5 Fly with Ray: This place has so much potential, but the customer service definitely needs improvement. Let me start with the good: the drinks were great. I ordered the passion fruit mimosa and it was delicious. My friend got another type of mimosa that I personally didn’t like, but she loved it, so that’s just personal taste. The décor is very cute and cozy, and the pizza we got as an appetizer was actually really good. Now… the arepas. This is where my rating dropped to 3 stars. The arepas came out cold. My friend ordered the ham, avocado, and cheese arepa, and honestly when she opened it we were both confused it looked like pre-packaged sliced ham straight from a container. I ordered the roasted chicken with sweet plantain and avocado, and as you can see, they forgot the avocado completely. The chicken was dry and definitely needed some seasoning, my mom’s sazón or even a little adobo would’ve saved it. But listen… I was hungry, so I still ate it, LOL. What really needs attention is the service. The young lady working there needs some customer service training. We ordered the pizza as an appetizer and never received small plates or even napkins. When my friend’s mom asked politely for napkins, the waitress rolled her eyes before going to get them. Also, her outfit looked more like gym clothes than café staff attire not a big deal on its own, but it added to the overall unprofessional vibe. If I decide to give this place another chance, it will strictly be for the mimosas and the pizza, because those were truly good. I hope they improve, because this café really could be great.

5 /5 Rachel Lamb: Simply fantastic. We walked here from our hotel for brunch. I had the mozarella & prosciutto croissant, and he had the breakfast sandwich. We also tried the strawberry and passion fruit mimosas, and i tried the strawberry cloud matcha. All delicious and perfectly presented. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed, friendly attentive staff and very comfortable patio style seating. We even made a little bird friend!

5 /5 Luna_ Wolf88: It was honestly very enjoyable! Though just in case, it should be noted that it is an outside dining experience (that have active fans around the premises) so it may not be suitable for everyone. The food was very tasty and well prepared. The serves was also good and friendly. The ambience was super cute too!! Very floral, elegant, and earthy.

3 /5 Jennifer Rios: I was so excited to go to this place I did allot of research to find a cute place with good food and drinks to catch up with a very good friend of mine. I found several places in the area but decided on this one because of the name first of all and being across from the lake, the reviews I read also encouraged me. I went with my mom and my friend and we sat outside on a cozy couch, that was nice and all the cute decor. We took a while to look at the menu and decided on drinks and a pizza appetizer, it’s called flat bread but it was very much a small pizza but it was good. When we got our drinks they were good, the espresso martini I got first was okay, it needed something more but it was fine. My friend’s mimosa was good and my mom’s spritzer was good also. When the appetizer came the waitress didn’t bring small plates nor napkins, that was disappointing and she didn’t check on us for the longest time. When she finally came I asked for plates and my mom asked for napkins. She brought plates but no napkins. We waited another long time and she didn’t check on us. I had to use the restroom and on my way I saw her with another lady at a table eating cake, I told her that we have been waiting to order our food. We ordered the arepas and honestly I was very disappointed, my dad is Colombian and I know what an Arepa tastes like and these were cold and the ham was a sliver of a cold cut. My friend and mom ordered the chicken arepa and the meat was very dry and the same cold. Definitely not fresh Arepas. We ordered more drinks and I got a different drink, like a mimosa and that was okay also. I’m a little more critical about restaurants, I’m from California and have the experience of going to good authentic restaurants. This place is good for taking a picture and having mimosas but on my part I will not be returning.
