Barnies

A local hot spot, this flagship location has everything from iced lattes to fresh salads. They have a cute outdoor patio out back, hosting winter park locals. If you find yourself looking for an afternoon pick-me-up, I recommend Santa's White Christmas Latte. One of their signature blends, you can’t go wrong!

Located off the beautiful Park Avenue, this hidden gem satisfies the craving for coffee, brunch or a little kitchen merchandise shopping. This coffee spot has a laid back and slow-paced atmosphere that anyone can enjoy in the morning or afternoon. My go-to order is the Blue Majik Latte and Avocado Mushroom toast, it does not disappoint!

Foxtail

Founded in the heart of Winter Park, you will find Foxtail, a beautiful neighborhood coffee shop with amazing fresh roasted coffee, daily! Their Matcha Latte is my go to drink with a splash of cinnamon. Foxtail is the perfect place for grabbing a coffee with friends or setting up your laptop and getting some work done.

CFS Coffee

If you are looking for the perfect Colombian roasted coffee, CFS is the place for you! Not only are all their coffee mugs and dishes hand made & painted, but their beans come right from Colombia to brew the perfect cup of coffee. You can never go wrong with the Farmers Latte, it is filled with rich spices, and tastes like Christmas in a cup!

Prato

One of the most well known Italian restaurants in Winter Park, Prato transports you to the coast of Italy with its rich dishes and communal atmosphere. You cannot go wrong ordering anything on their menu, but my go-to order is the Cetriolo Martini and the Mustard Spaghettini. Prato’s signature restaurant design features are their window-paned doors and year-round patio seating allowing you to enjoy the ‘park’ in Park Avenue. 

Mares

Located on the south end of Park Avenue, you will find Mares, an authentic Peruvian restaurant serving traditional culinary dishes. This Winter Park gem has a menu that will satisfy any craving. I highly recommend the Tuna Tartare or their Classic Ceviche Tres Mares.
