Crema's Take
“The Glass Knife is a Winter Park gem that beautifully marries elevated pastry craft with genuine hospitality, earning its stellar 4.6-star reputation through both stunning desserts and thoughtfully prepared breakfast dishes like eggs Benedict. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee and croissant or lingering over brunch with someone special, the warm, inviting atmosphere and attentive staff create moments that guests still talk about long after leaving. Their willingness to go the extra mile—like customizing a three-tier wedding cake on short notice—speaks to a team that treats every visit like a celebration worth getting right.”

We originally ordered a three tier cake to be delivered to our venue, but unfortunately, we had to switch our venue last minute they still made our three tier cake. Just add a foam instead and we upgraded too a double layered sheet cake. My only thing I would’ve changed is that the cake was not made so early because the raspberry filling seeped into our cake and could not be seen or tasted or seen, also they do not cut the cake so make sure your caterer or someone else can. Other than that the cake was perfection. We were so happy with the results.
Super cute. Yummy deserts. Visiting the area and wanted to celebrate a new mile stone in our lives with deserts. I purchased a few items and brought it home to the family. The youngs ladies were super kind and helpful. Hands down the presentation was everything I was truly impressed. Wish I lived closer to continue to support this beautiful business. Hands down everything we purchased was so yummy.
An Exceptional Culinary & Visual Experience in Winter Park The Glass Knife is absolutely a five-star experience and a mandatory stop in Winter Park. It is the perfect blend of high-end patisserie and cozy café, and every detail, from the decor to the presentation, is stunning. Everything is beautifully crafted—truly Instagram-worthy but, more importantly, delicious. Savory Menu Gems: Don't skip the savory menu! The brunch and lunch items are just as impressive. I highly recommend the Avocado & Egg Toast (garnished perfectly ) The Coffee: It’s the perfect pairing for their decadent pastries. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion with a slice of cake, meeting friends for brunch, or just grabbing a high-quality coffee and donut, The Glass Knife exceeds expectations.
A very nice place. Love the decorations and the atmosphere it brings. They have some nice delicious desserts. The food was lovely and the coffee as well. I got the eggs Benedict and the Lavender Vanilla Cinnamon coffee, highly recommend! Then for takeaway I got a chocolate chip cookie, warmed up which made it extremely tasty. The service was excellent as well
My wife and I just finished brunch at The Glass Knife, and we’re still talking about how good everything was. The whole place has such a warm, inviting feel, and the staff made the experience genuinely pleasant from the start. They have plenty of indoor seating and a really nice patio as well. As an added bonus they have a beautiful holiday tree up! I ordered the shakshuka, and honestly, it was the best I’ve ever had, so good. The sauce was rich and flavorful with just the right touch of heat, and the bread they served with it was unbelievable, perfect for scooping and soaking up every bit. My wife went with the biscuit platter and couldn’t stop praising the egg soufflé. The biscuits were crusty, crumbly and tender all at the same time. She really enjoyed the breakfast potatoes too, so flavorful. We also shared a glazed donut (lots of fancy options too but we went for simple) and it ended up being one of the highlights. Soft, lightly crisp on the outside, and not overly sweet, really well done. I wrapped everything up with a latte that was smooth and balanced, really enjoyable. Big shout out to Roma for taking such good care of us! Overall it was one of the most enjoyable brunches we’ve had in a long time. The Glass Knife absolutely delivered. We'll be back for sure.
