Value (4.2 out of 10)
mentioned by 14% of the guests
When it comes to value, some folks found things to cheer about, especially regarding the price of coffee and the generous military / local appreciation discount. A few customers felt they got a real win with their purchases, noting that prices were comparable to other local spots. Out of 18 total opinions, 4 were positive.
However, the overall sentiment leans heavily towards disappointment, with 13 negative opinions. Many felt the price was simply too high for the serving size, leading to an overpriced experience. Frustrations also arose from being cashless, unexpected tips, and an extra upcharge for non-dairy options.
This contributes to a rather poor customer satisfaction of just 22.2%, despite an average score of 4.2.

Condescending Service, Mediocre Coffee
My experience at this coffee shop was incredibly disappointing due to the condescending service I received. Despite there being three workers, no one acknowledged me when I approached the counter. They were engrossed in their own conversation, showing no regard for customers.
After finally placing my order, I waited for 10 minutes while others who arrived later received their coffee. When I inquired about my order, they didn't even know what I had ordered. For the shop to survive, the owner needs to hire staff who genuinely care about customers.
It felt like they were doing me a favor by making my coffee. The coffee itself was nothing to write home about, and with several great coffee shops in Orlando, there's no reason to endure bad customer service for mediocre coffee.

Good Vibes, Great Flavors, But Grainy Coffee
My experience at the restaurant was generally positive. The vibes were good, and the flavors were good. However, the coffee was grainy and had a sediment in it.
I ordered the mint, lavender, and honey latte, iced with oat milk.

Chill Vibes and Fast Service!
My experience at the restaurant was great! As I walked in, the "Let It Happen" by Tame Impala was playing, which immediately set a cool mood. The cashier was super cool and helped me find some good drinks.
The total for all three came to $20, which was a win. The environment felt very chill, and the service was incredibly fast. I had zero complaints.

Terrible Service, Unprofessional Attitude
My wife and I visited Lobo’s Coffee in Winter Park for the first time, hoping to try their coffee. Unfortunately, our experience was unexpectedly terrible. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt off, and the employee at the counter was noticeably rude.
When we asked for a made-to-brew coffee, we were abruptly snapped at and told to “pick a flavor, ” with a tone and attitude that were completely unprofessional. No customer should be spoken to that way. This level of service reflects very poorly on the management.
The interaction made us uncomfortable, and we chose to walk out rather than spend our money. This was our first and definitely our last visit. Businesses succeed because of their people, and based on this experience, the wrong people are representing this brand.

Extremely Rude Service, Never Returning
My first time here, I was asking about the difference between the French press and regular brew. The girl taking our order literally yelled at me. I am in disbelief; in all my years, I have never encountered such a rude person.
I will never return, and I’ll make sure no one I know does either. I am reporting this business.
