I Love Orlando Cafe

Stopped by I Love Orlando Café today, Samantha was very kind and I really enjoyed the strawberry matcha cloud, the smoked salmon crostini and the truffle fries during happy hour, everything was delicious, beautifully presented and it’s a great little spot in Downtown Orlando to relax or even get some work done.

The food and atmosphere are always spectacular. An easy place to pop in for an espresso. Indoor/outdoor seating makes it really comfortable. Some small birds fly in and hang out to have lunch with you as well lol. The view of Lake Eola makes it really special. Ask for Sandra, she's amazing, attentive and friendly.

You have to check this place out. It's a very cute cafe, the atmosphere is relaxing and the staff, service and food is outstanding. Sandra is the sweetest, and made our first experience so warm and welcoming. The Chicken Caesar salad is the BEST salad I have ever had (and I eat salads very regularly.) Also, the strawberry croissant with nutella is so delicious. The coffee (vanilla latte with almond milk) and a Iced Mocha also excellent. Thank you Sandra ❤️

I had an overall great experience here. This location has lovely staff and a really good menu. I highly recommend and will be returning for sure. I ordered a iced Chai vanilla oatmilk & matcha and the drink it was absolutely amazing. The ceasar salad wrap was tasty as well.

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.
