Orlando Coffee
I am a drink girlie through and through. These are my top coffee spots throughout Central Florida (both chains and local hidden gems)!
Trust me — get the iced butterscotch chai. The best drink for your Winter Park farmer's market (Saturdays) or Orlando farmer's market (Sundays) run!
Thirsty Husky
I got a hot peppermint white mocha at Christmas time a couple of years ago… so yummy. Major slay.
Lobos Coffee Roasters
Coffee is yum, bagels are yum, cream cheeses are double yum. I love the banana bread latte!
Jeff's Bagel Run
The vibes are so nice and the coffee is delicious. I recommend an iced dulce de leche latte!
CFS Coffee For The Soul, Heathrow
Dutch Bros is a newer addition to the Orlando area, and I absolutely had to include it in my list! Love love love a peach rings rebel for a fruity energy drink boost.
Dutch Bros Coffee
Orlando Bookstores
Nothing hits quite like a cutesy local bookstore. These are my Orlando area favorites!
Writer's block has two locations (Winter Park, FL and Winter Garden, FL) and they are both equally charming and wonderful. I love to support local bookstores!!
Writer's Block Bookstore
Taylor Swift inspired romance only bookstore???? New Romantics is literally the bookstore of my dreams.
The New Romantics
This is such a cutesy local bookstore. Love!
Spellbound Bookstore
Orlando Shops
Just a girl who's constantly on a quest for her next trinket.
Gasp Winter Park is, in fact, a gift shop for the girls. Taylor Swift, bookish, stationery, home decor finds galore! I am not physically capable of leaving Gasp without buying something…
Gasp
Frank. is a super fun gift shop on Park Ave in Winter Park (basically the heart of Winter Park)! They have hosting items, Jellycats, jewelry, and home decor pieces. Slay!
Frank.
Super super cool vintage shop (that also offers new items from local vendors!)
The Owl's Attic
Milk Mart is the (to my knowledge) biggest vendor market in Orlando. Hundreds of the best-of-the-best local makers set up shop at their monthly-ish markets! I have had the privilege to vend here a few times and it's always been a blast. Absolutely wo...
Milk Mart Orlando
The retail shop is amazing, but Rifle Paper Co.'s storefront also offers a “warehouse/outlet” type of shopping experience with lotssss of discounted Rifle Paper Co. products! So worth the stop.
RIFLE PAPER Co.
Orlando Eats
Orlando's local food scene is amazingggg.
Hollerbach's offers authentic German food, specialty German beers, and a small German specialty grocery store in a German beer hall-style restaurant. The vibes are immaculate, and they even won over my German grandma! She said, and I quote, “If I liv...
Hollerbach's German Restaurant
I used to have a Bagel King 15 minutes away from me (and yes, I am still mourning that loss) but they are so worth the drive. The best bagels around!
Bagel King
Yummy Mexican food with two locations: Lake Eola and Lake Mary!
F&D Cantina
Charming food hall near Downtown Sanford, FL with a bunch of different food stalls. I got lobster rolls from The Current and ube tiramisu ice cream from The Greenery Creamery, and was in fact obsessed.
Henry’s Depot
Sodough square has the best detroit-style pizza, and luckily they've got locations all throughout Orlando! I dream of their red sauce.
SoDough Square (SODO/South Downtown)
I have never met a garlic knot as legendary as Pizza Bruno's garlic knots.
