A Must-Visit Cozy and Sophisticated Cafe
Legacy Cafe is more than just a cafe; it's an atmosphere intentionally created with family in mind, feeling like your favorite family member's cozy and sophisticated living room. The bright decor, modern aesthetic, and open exterior create a beautiful and safe space with an amazing view. I spent 3 days enjoying meals at this beautiful black-owned restaurant near Tinker Field in Orlando, FL, and it truly did not disappoint.
The food was absolutely amazing, and the warm presence of the staff was incredibly welcome after an eventful weekend. I'm definitely adding Legacy Cafe to my list of places to return to when in Orlando! Be sure to stop by and enjoy a meal – tell them Keke sent you!
I highly recommend their vegetarian options, including the omelettes, veggie plates, and Cuban bowl, which are so delicious. It's also inspiring to see the beautiful work they do in the local community through their non-profit, showing a dedication to the growth and development of children in this industry. Support black family-owned businesses!

Wonderful Food, Terrible Wait Time
My experience at this restaurant was a mix of delightful food and atmosphere, but significantly marred by an extremely long wait. The food and ambiance were wonderful, truly enjoyable aspects of the visit. However, we had to wait over two hours for two omelettes and sides.
While I'm unsure if they were short-staffed, there weren't many customers, and others experienced similar lengthy wait times. This waiting time was a major drawback to an otherwise pleasant experience.

Top Notch Banana Pudding & More!
This is a really cute place with super reasonable prices. I was particularly impressed with the banana pudding, which was top notch! We stopped by on our way to Warped Tour and will definitely be back next time we are in the area.
I also want to mention that the grilled cheese, Cuban, and loaded fries are all delicious.

Hidden Gem with Immaculate Service!
This place was definitely a hidden gem! It is tucked away so it's hard to spot at first, but once you do it's going to be your favorite spot. It's a very loving family owned business.
Let's start by saying the service is immaculate! Brittany and her father are so warm and welcoming. As a chef from Ga I appreciated the amount of love and attention that was put into the food and plating.
Also, the portions are generous for the price. Trust me you aren't lacking on anything by making this your go to spot. I haven't tried their lunch yet, but looking at other guest it looks amazing as well.
Can't wait to try more!

Charming Family Cafe with Delicious Food
I visited this lovely cafe in Orlando during a half-day before my flight. The setting was very nice and clean, appearing quite new. The cafe is run by a really nice family, with even the little one adorably helping out by bringing condiments and silverware, and kindly showing me the way to the bathroom.
I enjoyed a delicious and filling Spanish omelette with house fries, and also really enjoyed the chai latte. Although I'm not a local, I would recommend locals support this family-owned business and tourists shouldn't shy away either! My only recommendation is to place a sign out front, as the entrance is at the back of the building and people might miss it, which would be a shame!
