Panaderia y Restaurant El Cafetal - Orlando, Florida

Cris Orlando

Everything in the menu is fresh and made to order. The place is very busy being so close to the airport but the staff is very attentive and quick to take and prepare your order. Plenty of tables available. I will definitely recommend for a quick bite or lunch.

I really loved seeing all the French pastries! They had savory AND sweet pastries.

This shop was really bustling with LOTS of customers, many of whom seemed like regulars. There are 2 cash registers, so the lines got a bit long, sometimes, but the cashiers were very pleasant and also patient with new customers who didn't know the menu, like me.

I especially want to give kudos to the slightly older gentleman who seemed to be the owner, or at least in charge. He was really on top of his game and appeared to be tweaking the staff's customer service as they all worked like a well-oiled machine. I think this dedication to excellence and attention to detail may be at least part of what is making this shop such a popular place to go.

Things they offer--teas of all kinds (cold, hot) with toppings & add-ins (boba, etc.), many other drinks, sandwiches, Asian dishes, & of course, the pastries. Something for everyone!

I saw families with young children there, middle-aged patrons, college students, as well as senior citizens like myself. It was kind of like being inside a beehive. So much energy and positivity!

I got the iced, Vietnamese, salted caramel coffee (topped with sea foam with coffee jellies in the bottom). It was the first time I tasted anything in the States that was close to a marvelous coffee drink I had in Manila, Philippines, in 1991! Absolutely delicious!!!!

If you're anywhere near this lovely shop, you owe it to yourself to go. The surrounding area of Altamonte Springs is also a very beautiful drive with many shopping possibilities. If you're looking for a new boba tea experience, you MUST make a trip to this shop!!

If you want one of the best bakery goods in Orlando , I would highly recommend coming here. They are very delicious and great quality. For food I will give it a 4 star. It’s not out of this world like their bakery but the food had good taste and very presentable. I saw the sandwiches and they looked Devine. Unfortunately, I did not ordered one to try and critique it. I heard their coffee is great. I can tell you it is worth trying it once and then you decide! Enjoy!!

Estas en Puerto Rico when you go here! The sandwiches were amazing and they have a la carte food that looked amazing! The place is busy and everyone moves fast. If you don't know what you are doing you get lost a little! Let me help! To order sandwiches and pastries/coffee, etc go to the line on the left by the pastries... the a la carte food starts on the other line by the cashiers. Pick a seat and get comfortable. We had a pastrami sandwich and majorca with ham and cheese. Be ready to order the type of bread (de agua or sobao) and sauce (butter, mayo, mayoketchup) veggies and cheese. Whatever they serve, enjoy! It's all good! We will definitely make this a regular stop when we are in Orlando!

1st of all, I was greeted as soon as I walked in. That is usually a good sign as far as customer service. 2nd, the smell of delicious pastries, OMG. 3rd all the food ?. I was with 6 people and we all enjoyed our food.

I come often for the pastries traveling about 1 hour each way. Yesterday we came for an early dinner and ordered a cuban sandwich to go. Came home to open the sandwich it was not a cuban sandwich it was a ham and cheese sandwich. I have sent a message to them via Facebook Messenger and have not heard back.

For those of us who miss the Puerto Rican panadería, this is it. Good Cuban and triplets, great coffee and quick service. Good Job!
