CFS Coffee For The Soul , Maitland
701 Trelago Way #500, Winter Park, FL
Crema's Take
“This Winter Park gem strikes that rare balance between serious espresso craft and genuinely welcoming comfort, where you're equally likely to find someone settling in with their laptop for hours or meeting a friend over a perfectly executed cappuccino and house-made pastry. The quiet, music-filled space and attentive staff create an atmosphere that feels less like a transaction and more like a favorite study nook or meeting spot that happens to serve exceptional coffee and a full breakfast menu. It's the kind of place where regulars clearly feel at home, and newcomers immediately understand why.”

I’m giving a rating of 5 because I genuinely like your Celebration location, but I wanted to share some feedback from my recent visit: 1. The servers seemed disengaged and showed little enthusiasm. There were no smiles or sense of appreciation, which affected the overall experience. 2. When a tip is requested, I expect a higher level of service and product quality. Unfortunately, both the service and the food fell short. 3. The spicy beef and cheese items tasted as though they were either from the previous day or reheated too much, resulting in a poor flavor. 4. The breakfast and coffee were good, though not quite at the same standard as your other locations. 5. Staff members spent more time talking than working, which impacted service efficiency. Recommendations: Consider strengthening staff training to improve service attitude and productivity, and ensure food quality is consistently fresh. This location has great potential a few improvements could make a big difference.
What a delightful breakfast. Everything was perfect, clean, quiet, good ambience music playing and comfortable seats. Will definitely come back for lunch soon!
I absolutely love this place! I come here to study while also having lunch or breakfast. The staff is always polite, the food is always delicious and they have great coffee as well. Would 100% recommend!
Lovely place to sit & chat with a friend or work solo. Selection of menu items are plentiful, with something for all appetites, tastes & budgets. Fast service & friendly staff. I enjoyed catchup time with a friend & split 3 of their pastry items - ALL delicious! Looking forward to visiting again & again to try many more items from their menu.
Super glad we got a CFS on this side of town! Now it's the closest of the locations to me. I absolutely love the coffee here. And every single thing I've ever had out of the pastry case is excellent, so my opinion doesn't change about this place. It's great. But my friend got a dirty chai (phenomenal) and I got a iced matcha latte. And it was the weakest. Most watery matcha I've ever had. It might as well have just been green milk, regardless I drank the whole thing. It wasn't what I was looking for but I don't fret. My meal and time here was still absolutely wonderful and I would still come back again and again and maybe just order something else for next time.
