This was the best coffee l had during a five day trip to Orlando. I loved it so much that l returned a second morning. I wish they had earlier hours on the weekends, but l was able to visit on a Monday and Tuesday morning. The vibe is chill and cozy, which l appreciate. Photos dont do this place justice - its so cool. While l was waiting for my drink, l enjoyed walking around and checking out all the artwork on the walls. I liked both the butterbeer latte and the cinnamon roll latte. The red velvet espresso cookie is delicious. The baristas were friendly and kind. The bathroom was clean.
I donβt normally leave reviews but this place by far deserves it. Moment you walk in youβll feel a gentle peace in the atmosphere and a warm welcome. The guy in the front was very helpful and patient with the order. Food was delicious and the chef was very talented.Highly recommended to come and relax, chill, study or to just spend time with friends by the pool table.
Love love love this cafe magical cafe tucked away in a small shopping center with the best people food music anything you can think of . Not only is the coffee amazing the food tasty but Saturday nights open mic night and itβs so much fun honestly itβs like being with family welcoming warm thank you so much Achilles art cafe :) π¦π¦β€οΈπβ€οΈπ.
I loved this coffee shop! It was a rather eccentric, edgy and eclectic looking art shop and I enjoyed every piece of art work that was displayed. The staff was super chill and cool and the overall ambience of the coffee shop was so relaxing and made me feel like I was in someoneβs home. I loved the dim lights and the music selection was AMAZING!I got the creme brΓ»lΓ©e chai tea latte and it was so dang good! They even light it up and brΓ»lΓ©e the sugar right in front of you which makes for a very cool experience!I also got a chicken pita and that was delicious as well.
We were looking to get some coffee an just looked up coffee shops and achellis popped up. When we pulled up it was super cute on the outside very hipster. When we went in we where very surprised by the art and the vibes.. the coffee was excellent!! I got a warm croissant with butter, it was a tad over done but still good.. we definitely recommend this coffee shop! Check them out! Good service very sweet girl at the counter!
Didnt have avocado spead, super bummed. Achilles was decently flavored, and the toasted tuna was delicious, now for the fries, they seems oven toasted with parm, black pepper and something that tasted like curry powder. Didnt taste any truffle at all. Hmmmmm, WOULD SOMEONE ELSE HELP IDENTIFY THE TRUFFLE AND IF THESE FRIES ARE TOASTED OR FRIED? THE FEATHER WAS A NICE DESIGN TO A AWESOME CUP OF CAFE LATTE. The customer staff were touching all guest that arrived hugs arms around neck and long hair woman (witnessed 3 times to many), as a first time visit...and covid running our world. staff may want to take some precautions on the touching policy, then serving others. ALL MASKLESS.Under new ownership, rumor has it.GOD BLESS A VERY NICE BUSINESS.
To say that this place is great is an understatement. The food is amazing! We had the chicken salad sandwich and the Cuban sandwich, both of which were very unique and delicious! I loved the garlic dipping sauce that came with the Cuban. It was nice to see that the beer selection included with the combo had unique beers! This place is definitely a Hidden Gem.
My first time visiting today. Very quaint. Love that they have outdoor seating options. I ordered their chicken salad to go. Got it on sourdough bread. LITERALLY one of the best salads you can have. Delicious and very filling.One note: they are no longer on Wilshire. They moved to 2295 S. Hiawassee Road.
A definite vibe. The outside was inviting. Seating area was cozy and homey. Inside felt just right; as if this was my usual chill spot.The art all around the cafe was beautiful and creative. Gizmo was my favorite but I couldnt take his picture. Insert sad emoji.Now lets talk coffee. We ordered a cortadito, caramel latte with almond milk and two regular cappuccinos. Not one criticism! Delightful rhapsody.Thank you
Itβs a great cafe for studying, hanging with friends, or just grabbing a quick coffee, the ambiance here is unmatched. Not only is the coffee good their kitchen is also very diverse beyond regular cafe pastries they also make a wide range of food and drinks. Really recommend if you like Mediterranean food, art and decorum.
From outside, this coffee shop looks unimposing. Especially since the wall marquee just says Coffee Shop. But inside it has a bohemian aesthetic that feels like it belongs in New York. The service was good. The Latte specials are surprisingly creative. I got a Butterbeer latte and, after some additional stirring, it tasted like butterbeer. Also surprising, this coffee bar sells beer. I tried the EinstΓΆk Icelandic IPA. AND to top off this unique experience there was an open mic night...FYI they have tarot readings on Tuesdays...but anyways. Completely unique experience and I highly recommend it.
Waste of money!We asked for a brewed coffee, suggested if we wanted latte when we said we didnβt like milk, they ended up serving a latte and charged us 1.75 for 3 pumps of syrup that we didnβt ask and extra for milk, $5.25 for 1 coffee which wasnβt even we we asked. The exterior furniture is pretty worn out
This place is pure magic!! The ambiance and energy is wonderful. Definitely my new favorite Cafe to go to for working and studying. You HAVE to try the creme brulee chai, it is the BEST chai I have ever had. And I have had many chai teas in my life!! The Italian sodas are very tasty and refreshing (I recommend the black raspberry). I also highly recommend trying the delicious food!! Try the caprese sandwiche! Jem and her staff are very welcoming and make you feel like family when you meet them! I will definitely be back to try more drinks and food.
Came here for the first time with my girl and had amazing experience. The atmosphere was super chill and the coffee was great and made with care. Definitely found our new spot for morning coffees when we just want to kick back and relax!
Food is delicious. Staff is nice. Be prepared to wait a while to get your food.
Ash, whats happened to the coffee shop? Ive been going there for the past 10 years and Ive noticed a reduction in quality of food, cleanliness, and customer service from your new staff.Why did I have to witness two staff members smooching behind the counter while Im waiting to order.Or, coming up to the counter to only be stared at by a young kid and not be greeted.Ive loved the coffee shop but Im becoming disappointed.
I finally found my perfect study spot! This place is cute, cozy and has such a nice homey feel to it. The food and coffee is really good and the prices are also very responsible. The Wifi is also strong, I had three of my devices connected to it and I didnt have any lag or problems with it. The staff are also so adorable and nice. A big plus from me is the music! The musics vibe match the coffee shop and it completes the overall feel. Definitely going to be coming here more often
Achilles Cafe is one the best Coffee shops in Orlando Florida. Tucked away in Metrowest, once discovered its like finding treasure. The ambiance is bliss. Smooth jazz music and art work has brings you to laid back vibe. Great selection of coffees, cappuccinos, cakes, muffins, and croissants. The staff here is amazing. I had the pleasure of having Savannah. The customer service she provided is phenomenal. Ask for Savannah if you go and youll see what I mean.This is a great place to study, work, have meetings, book club, and to bring someone on a date. In essence, great place and phenomenal staff members like Savannah.
What a fun little find! When I lived in Orlando we found this little place on Google and it was such a good find. The food and coffee was excellent. The atmosphere was top notch! What a fun place to hang out with friends or study! Next time I go back to Orlando I will try to make time for this great place!
Cozy place good for a coffee or snack while sitting down for a chat. Tranquil and relax ambience. Friendly service. Good choices in coffee and other sweets.
If you have a spare hour or so to wait for your coffee then this place is for you. Slowest service Ive ever experienced. When you ask where your coffee is they make you feel like you are the reason for the delay. And they keep taking orders, not letting anyone know how long it will take to get your order. Absolute joke.I find your reply disrespectful, I do not accept your insulting poor excuse for an apology, how long does it take to pour two coffees and give one cupcake for a take out. Is over an hour reasonable for you? It isnt for me.
If youβre looking for a place where to relax, study, or get lost in your favorite novels, this coffee shop would be the best. Walking into this Coffee shop gives such a Relaxing vibes. I remember mentioning to my best friend this is a safe haven.The shop made think of TV show Friend in terms of ambiance.They have many arts all around and their seating options are comfortable.This is also great place for first dates especially if youre getting to know someone. The drinks and foods were all tasty and worthwhile.The service was good, and the variety of coffee they served was very satisfying to know. If you like your coffee shops, then this is a must-visit!
The food was excellent the service was outstanding everyone kept asking do you want something to drink. Their courteous from the moment I walked in to the moment I left.
Cool coffee shop. I loved the art and the music. One star taken for not having pour over coffee. Hopefully they add it soon.
Achilles Art Cafe is amazing! Because everything is to-go now, I wasnt able to fully enjoy this coffee shop but my experience was fantastic. I ordered the caprese panini w/ no bacon and iced butterbeer latte to go and it was probably the best sandwich Ive ever had and one of the best coffees Ive had in my life. I loved the atmosphere with all the art and the owner was also extremely nice. Please do yourself a favor and try this place out!
My cousin and I dropped in for some smoothies . Definitely made me feel like I was back in Williamsburg NYC thank you for the warm welcome ! Great atmosphere decently priced
This place has everything in spades: delicious coffee, tasty food, the chillest atmosphere around, and the staff are absolutely the bees knees. The owner takes pride in his establishment, and itβs reflected in everything the place provides.Love this place. One of my favorites spots in and around Orlando.
I will be honest I dont know how anyone can enjoy a cup of coffee taste/aroma in a shop that smells like a grilled cheese toaster, non stop. Good Vent/ air/ smell is a HUGE factor to a decent atmosphere. Honestly. Customer service is just ok, no special espresso making artistry ( and I dont mean a stupid Starbucks drink), bare minimum.
Very poor service. We waited one hour for 2 coffees and one muffin. Not worth wasting your time.Please (manager or whoever answers these posts), Ive already seen all your insulting answers to other real customers (not to the fake ones that posted good reviews). I dont want your rude unprofessional answer, shame on you!
It was the coffee shops from Friends and Fraiser came together and offered the best of both in real life. The comfy setting made it easy to relax and the coffee was next level. The barista definitely knows her stuff. This little shop is a best secret no longer.
I liked this cafe the first time I went, but the second time was in the afternoon on a Saturday and it wasnβt busy. There was no one working behind the counter and but they were in the back having a prolonged conversation. There isnβt even a bell at the front to catch the personβs attention. We waited at least 15 mins for the person to come back to the register and when they did other customers had come into the cafe and basically formed a line, which meant we who had gotten there before these other people now had to go to the back of the line and wait even longer. It was only when a bunch of people came into the cafe that the person serving came from the back. So we just left. We understand itβs a laidback place but to be in a conversation in the back for almost 15 or 20 mins is a little too laid back. At least put a bell or something up front.
Love love coming here. Itβs a hidden gem. Super chill place. Coffee is delicious.
Great coffee and atmosphere. I also like the fact that if you dont know what to order the staff will help you.
My son and I stopped here for a caramel frappe and a iced latte...super friendly staff, drinks were wonderful and prices were great!
Love this place! So cute, relaxing, everyone is friendly, and great coffee!
Beer, wine, coffee all very good. Food made fresh and was very good portion for the price. Beautiful art and lots of beautiful people.
Great place to study or do quiet get togethers. Very comfy esthetic and amazing artwork on every wall. The food was ok but I will be back to try something else on the menu because the service was good.
Came to spend the weekend in Orlando from about an hour away. Found this gem of a place!!! Normally when going out of town we like to find little coffee shops, not your typical chain place. Wow, is all I have to say. I tried 4 coffees the 2 times we came here. First day I had the tiramisu iced and the snickers iced as well. Second time I had the dulce de leche and smores, both hot. Great mixing up!!! My husband had the almond joy today, hot, which was out of this world and the cinnamon crumb cake the other day they were both great. I had the turkey pineapple the first time and the caprese this time. You can def split the sandwich between 2, or save leftovers for later. The caprese was SO flavorful!!!!!! My husband had thr Achilles this time, which was pretty bomb and the chicken salad sandwich the first day. Everything we ate and drank here was top notch. Jamie was working the first time we came, and she is a little piece of treasure. Didnt get the guys name from today, but they are both quiet, respectful, hard working, and just nice gentle souls. I love the ambiance of this place. My family is of greek decent and I just like that cozy family feel here. Very chill. Welcoming. Relaxing. Nice and very diverse genres of music, totally my style. Cant say enough good things. Cant wait to get back!!!
1st time. Eclectic place. Ambience. Ill be back.
We happened to visit here. It was an incredible and unique experience. Friendly staff, interesting decor and art, so many things to look at and an open and inviting atmosphere. Not just great coffee, but a great experience!
I was super excited to show my boyfriend this coffee shop because I had come here a few weeks ago and had a great experience. But tonight was everything but... the barista was incredibly rude to my boyfriend.. because of this I decided to cancel the order and walk out. My boyfriend was having a hard time making a drink decision and all this man had to do was suggest a few drinks but instead he was incredibly rude. I refuse to spend money at a place where I feel unwanted. The atmosphere completely changed when he approached us. Everyone is entitled to a bad day but this was overboard. We went Friday 04/16 at 9:45pm. I did not catch the baristas name but this should not be the standard especially at a cool place like this.
Wow. The place is seriously underrated. The Peppermint Mocha Specialty Latte was delicious as always. However, the first one on the sandwich list, the Achilles sandwich is so incredible I can say is the best sandwich Ive had!! Do not remove anything on it please, leave it as it comes unless you are allergic to something of course. The flavors that come through and how good everything goes together is honestly INSANE!! Also pricing is perfect, so underrated... Keep it up Achilles!!
We live right down the street and choose Achilles over Starbucks, Dunkin, or any other competitor coffee. The atmosphere is unique inside Achilles with paintings, lights, and lots of odds and ends. Doesnt have the same clean white look as many coffee spots these days, which is charming in my opinion. Always inviting and clean and i have never had trouble finding a nice little space to wait in. We love supporting such a kind and genuine local business that gives artists a spot too. Usually we only order iced coffees and theyre delicious with many flavors to choose from. I had tomato soup once too which was surprisingly really good!Overall if youre not looking to take a gamble and just need a reliable cup of coffee in a unique setting you should just go here
So this place is hard for me to rate. I think the food and coffee are both great but itβs very difficult for me to recommend. I have been multiple times and most have been good experiences but the bad ones leave a very bad taste in my mouth. Waiting 2+ hours for a complete order of 5 people is borderline laughable. If the kitchen truly is that small you shouldnβt be operating with food in the first place. The people working have been friendly and I think the atmosphere is unique. The only way Iβd recommend it is if you have no plans for the next few hours.
Great place. I used to bring my friends here to hangout. They serve great savory deserts.
Such a good vibe place. Decor is charming. Full of art . I would recommend it to a friend.
Absolutley superb. The service, selection, flavor, and ambiance are all wonderful. Very eclectic and endearing.
If coffee could taste beautiful then this would be the cup of beauty to try! The flavor, temperature and art was just perfect!
Very nice place. Art from customers on wall for sell
Cozy, quiet atmosphere. My coworker and I stopped here to get work done on business trip and it was great. Plenty of outlets so you can plug things in from any table/couch. The WiFi is strong and didnβt drop out once. The staff and the other customers were all very friendly. The Achilles Sandwich and their specialty lattes are a must try. Would definitely recommend to any college students or business people needing a cozy, quiet place to work.
Tucked away place with great ambiance and menu.
One of my favorite coffee shops in Orlando. Their Achilles sandwich is one of a kind. Other pretty amazing items on rheir menu are their Tuna sandwich(not your typical tuna salad it even has avocado) their hummus platter(pita, lettuce with tomatoes and feta cheese). Their creme brulee late is to die for! The coziness and artistic look and feel of the place makes it one to remember.
Its really good its a place where people can come in and talk also hang out with friends and make new friends too.
Wow.. think central perk. Think cozy, warm, comfort. This place has not only an amazing ambiance, the coffee is amazing. Go here & enjoy what every coffee shop wishes to be. Starbucks who?
I had a very POOR experience here. Upon me sitting down I was approached by the owner (Im assuming) and he TOLD me to place an order. I responded back with yes sir. He then approached me again within 5 minutes but this time he was even more angry, for what reason, I dont know. He initiated this conversation with I was nice the first time, place and order or leave! He then spoke for another 30 seconds and I sat here listening respectfully, and when he ran out of breath (Im assuming), he tried walking away but I said excuse me sir.He turned around, I then proceeded to TRY and inform him on why I have not placed an order: I have not placed an order yet because I am not thirsty as of now... at this point I was cut off with a very rude I dont care, order or leave. If you dont leave I will call the police.I travel to different coffee shops and work. I have people who take my recommendations on shops and I do my best to bring in more business to fine establishments.Due to a very poor first experience I will NOT be returning.Side note: as someone who is building their own business, this was a fine example of what NOT to do. I have never and WILL never yell at one of my customers.
Normally I would have posted a pic but food looked so good I couldnt stop. Service treated us so nice. The place has a great atmosphere. Food is similar to a cafe in Portland I liked.
Waitress extremely rude. Manager had to come over to tell her to be nicer
Nice and cozy place. Like comming here to relax with cup of tasty coffee. Definetely recommend
Chill placr great for going eith friends. But find myself coming here on my own reading. With boardgames for small groups. Drinks and a happy hour for the wilder crowd. But their cafè drinks are where they shine. Im recommend the creme Brulee chai tea.The crowd are chill college students or couples on a date night. With the occasional quiet reader.
One day I came by this great coffee shop.
I love coming to Achilles Art CafΓ© Iβve been coming since I first moved to Orlando back in 2017 itβs always been comforting in the hospitality has been five stars. I definitely met my closest friends Iβve still been friends with to this day here at this cafΓ©.I recently came back to Orlando to visit and of course I had to stop at my favorite cafΓ© with my favorite people.I love the idea to order food before you sit down it definitely keeps the riffraff out. The fact that I can smoke hookah drink my tea eat my food and have an open tab and fill it up is definitely what I called customer service.Everything was perfect EXCEPT I bought a hummus platter for my vegan wife and they put feta on it. I have to sleep with her so her lactose intolerance stomach wonβt be fun this evening. π©
First time visiting this coffee house, the ambiance reminded me of the coffee shops that I miss back home. I not only enjoyed my dulce de leche latte, the Achilles sandwich was amazing. To top it all off the customer service was most pleasant. I will definitely be returning.
Great experience, good food, very nice staff !
Super cute with friendly staff and a great atmosphere! Great food thats not overly pricey!
The actual coffee is good. I wish there were decaf and non dairy creamer options, not just nutmilks which dont typically taste right in coffee. So I didnt get that. Its a cozy place
I was there last night to have some tea (and the child in me also had some hot chocolate). It was great, the tea was great, the atmosphere was great and the people were also great.
Amazing service with food to match! The prices are amazingly good and the whole cafe feels comfy and welcoming! Im absolutely coming back β€
Amazing food in here. This place is really good. Tomatoes sybil soup is spectacular taste. I loved it. I absolutely recommend this place.
Achilles Art Cafe is a gem. This is my home away from home. Staff is incredible. Owner runs this place like a well oiled machine. Coffee is ALWAYS incredible, no matter what you choose. Sandwiches are the best! The atmosphere is so cozy, comfortable, and clean. It has been gaining popularity over the past few years because it is always packed now, but much continued success to the owner. No better place to grab a coffee and study.
I waited like 10 minutes, and nobody approached not even to say hi. I waited on front of the counter, and the long hair dude just ignored me. I dont care if you are a restaurant or not, you have a terrible customer service.
I love achillies. Best place to work and study. Great atmosphere, amazing sandwiches.
