Crema's Take
“The Monroe is pulling off something rare: a coffee shop that treats breakfast and dinner with equal ambition, where biscuits and gravy feel like an opening act for what's to come rather than the main event. Service here is genuinely attentive without being fussy, and the kitchen has mastered the harder skill of knowing when to stop—nothing arrives over-sauced or overthought. If you're in Orlando looking for a spot that justifies lingering over a meal rather than rushing through it, this is worth making a detour for.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

The food at Monroe is solid for brunch, but honestly, it really shines at dinner. The biscuits at brunch were a little on the crunchy side, but still tasty. Our chicken and waffles were good, though the waffles had more of a funnel cake consistency than a traditional waffle. …
