Foxtail Coffee - Lake Eola
500 E Central Blvd, Orlando, FL
Crema's Take
“Tucked steps away from Lake Eola Park, this espresso-focused spot delivers a calm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a natural extension of the scenic waterfront—ideal for lingering over a specialty drink or settling in with your laptop. The quality of their shots shines through in thoughtfully crafted lattes and creative seasonal flavors, though consistency seems to depend on who's behind the bar on any given day. It's the kind of place where friendly, attentive service and cute pastry options make it easy to justify staying longer than you planned.”

3 stars because the coffee is yuck and it has nothing to do with the staff (they are excellent even if they seem to be understaffed a lot). The lattes I have gotten here taste like watered down coffee. So much that I started going to Bynx instead. I wish they could get the coffee right so I can enjoy going here. It’s such a cute spot to meet neighbors and people watch. The atmosphere and the staff are the redeeming qualities here for sure!
I had the BEST latte of my life here this morning!! Whoever is staffed today, 1/01/26 at 9:30am, deserves a raise for handling a customized order via postmates so seamlessly. The espresso was high quality, perfectly balanced with the milk, just the right touch of ice, and not too sweet. Pleasant and fast pickup as well! :) thank you!!!!
Really good coffee! Friendly service! Cute place to stop and hangout, near the lake. Plenty of seating.
Foxtail Coffee – Lake Eola is a great spot right by Lake Eola Park. The coffee is excellent, and the cake pops are a nice treat. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the seasonal drink options are creative and fun. Highly recommended if you’re in the area and looking for quality coffee in a cozy setting.
We had a nice experience! Located steps off of Lake Eola, so its super convenient. They have a lot of unique options, new and creative flavors, as well as the regular stuff you know and love. We tried the lemon cake (amazing), coffee was solid, and prices were decent. I spent $15 on a large tea, specialty coffee, and a lemon cake. The atmosphere is really serene and calm.. music is a little upbeat for my liking (not as good for studying or working), but I guess that's why we have headphones. Service was okay, not excellent. I will be back! One of my favorite coffee shops in Orlando so far - even though it's a chain
