Wonderful brunch...the Mushroom Quiche $9 was lovely, savory, and full of flavor and the greens accompanying it were ultra fresh and coated with a nice oil vinaigrette (I added some lemon for a little pop).The chocolate chip cookie $3.50 was a great combination of soft yet crunchy and had ample chocolate which for me is essential.The service was great from start to finish.The restaurant interior was clean, inviting, well-lighted, and homey.You need to try this excellent Cafe...

Not your typical breakfast joint. Ordered the chocolate croissant. It came out flaky and warm, but hardly any chocolate. Also had the Linger crepe which was delicious! Would definitely recommend for foodies. Plenty of outdoor seating. Limitless mimosas for $15.

I went to Café Linger for the first time on a Saturday for brunch, and it’s definitely not going be the last. When entering you’ll be asked to grab a sanitized menu and order from the cashier. You can sit in any available table, inside or outside, and the servers will bring the food to you. I ordered the Chicken & Waffles and it was delicious. The price vs. quality is unbelievable. Café Linger has a great atmosphere and there was live piano music playing. This place is already one of my favorite spots in Orlando.

Delicious food, sevice was prompt, everyone was very nice and helpful. It was my first time here so I asked questions and recommendations. Had the Lemon ricotta pancakes 🥞 and a shaken expresso, Ill be back!

Heard that this place had an amazing avocado toast and it definitely lived up to the hype. I added an egg on mine for $1.50 extra but it was totally worth it. I really enjoyed the tomato and onion on the toast as it really elevated the meal!

Great place. Very friendly staff. Seems like a good place to have good food and have good conversation!

Food was exceptional but service was lacking I’ll definitely be back for takeout

Their avocado toast with poached eggs is addicting. I am in town for only 2 days and came both days just because the avocado toast was living in my head. Dont get me wrong their coffee and specialty drinks are great too. But the toast though. It has so much avocado it was almost stupid. I loved it.The best avocado toast I have ever had. The sun dried tomatoes, with the poached eggs runny yolk, with smash avocado, AND sliced avocado, with the drizzled sauce all over. Spectacular. If I lived remotely close to here I would come regularly.

This place is a gem in Orlando’s culinary crown. I ordered the chicken and waffles but these are not you’re average chicken and waffles. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy and well cooked on the inside. It was a also a tad spicy adding a wonderful kick and saving you the decision over what hot sauce (if you’re into that) to select. The waffles were excellent but it’s all about the sauces in Café Linger. The sauce on this plate was, for lack of a better word, superb. Creamy yet very appropriate for the dish. Completely unexpected, add the maple syrup and your mouth goes places you never thought chicken and waffles could take you. My fiancée had the crepes with spinach mushrooms and shallots. Again, the creamy sauce made all the difference. Compliments to the sous chef because this person brought it that day. The crepes were thin and fluffy and they didn’t fall apart with the sauce which demonstrates how well they were done. The ingredients tasted fresh and not over done nor too salty nor too savory. The bottomless mimosas were an excellent compliment that puts you in a “nice state of mind” hence the reason I am writing this review after the fact. Service was excellent and even the cashier knows the menu well and gave fantastic recommendations. I highly recommend this place for brunch or an afternoon delight.

Best lattes in Orlando! All the syrups are homemade and amazing. The avocado toast is legendary, as is the steak and egg bowl. We loooove the staff! They feel like family. There’s live piano on Saturday mornings with Mary - she is precious. And the owner is so fantastic. Don’t sleep on cafe linger!!!!

Super cool local cafe in College Park! We were looking for a new place to brunch one weekend and found Cafe Linger! I’m so glad we stopped by. The food was all made from fresh ingredients and the portions were very generous for the price. I usually eat my fries with ranch, but since they didn’t have any they offered us a curry dip. I forgot what they actually called it, but wow I was so glad they didn’t have ranch! The coffee and chai tea were also great with the meal we had. Plus the customer service was so welcoming and kind!! Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.

Like this place. Great atmosphere. The breakfast on the weekends is better than the week. The madame Linger is my favorite breakfast dish. Excellent. It’s not the best coffee I have had but the lavender latte is quite good. The seating is laid out nice. And also on weekends there is live piano music. Ladies playing are talkative and very friendly.

Oh my Lord! This place has THE BEST Chicken and waffles Ive ever had. Hands down! Had it twice, first time was a little too spicey, second time was perfection. No place in Atlanta Ive tried can beat it. 👍👍This place has a nice café vibe with seats both inside and out, and customer service is great. Really nice people here. Definitely a good spot to visit.

This little hidden gem is amazing! The food quality, atmosphere, service, and location is just perfect. Their menu has so many delicious options like the breakfast burger, the Madame Linger and the avocado toast are all amazing! Cannot wait to come back and try more food.

Finally made it to this place and so glad I did! It was awesome in many ways!The staff is nice, friendly, attentive and very good helping you decide from the awesome specials/dishes that they offer.The restaurant is clean, ambiance is relaxed and welcoming and it is decorated to make you feel as if you are eating at home.I ordered their Loaded Crepe and it was to die for! The gruyere sauce is out of this world! I was pleasantly surprised and the bacon and egg made it so much better! Paired it with one of their Jamu drinks (#2) and it was refreshing, a bit fizzy and much more delicate in flavor than kombucha. I enjoyed it.I will definitely be back to try more of their selections and for weekend brunch!

Everything there looked so good, I only had a 🍅 bisque and it was very flavorful and creamy. My friend had the Avacado toast with a poached egg and loved it

This place is a vibe... taking the hipster staple of avocado toast to another level. Interesting coffee concoctions and comfortable seating arrangement. Even had someone playing live piano. The overnight oats taste like apple pie

Loved it. I cant wait to come back!I had the chicken sandwich and a cappuccino. Coffee is amazing!I wanna try the rest of the menu and I will recommend for sure.

Delicious food! The avocado toast is really amazing. I also like their local beer selection. If you haven’t been here check them out.

Staff was extremely kind. Very welcoming and the food and coffee really hit the spot. Avocado toast kinda blew my mind. Also the owner was very sweet and frankly quite charming. Hope to come here again next time I’m in Orlando.

Loved the stylish servers- great hair colors!!!. The Seating host was excellent in helping Us..A varied menu...options for Vegans and veggie eaters. Ill go again for Lunch..

Well it was my first time going there. I will start by saying the place was very clean. It was really simple to order and get a seat. I had the croissant sandwich with Swiss and bacon, it came with a side salad that had a very tasty dressing. Wow the orange juice had to be fresh squeezed.... The bottomless mimosas are a great choice. The stuffed crepe came with an amazing sauce.

My husband got the chicken and waffles - was the best I’ve ever had. I got the loaded crepe and it was delicious my only complaint is I got it with turkey sausage and it was way too much sausage for me personally so I needed extra sauce to finish it. Also we tried the eggplant soup - fantastic but the eggplant pieces in there would have been 1000x better if they were roasted beforehand and softer (they were a bit hard and chewy). Also the very berry coffee latte was the strangest yet most delicious coffee drink we have ever tried. Highly recommend!

Delicioso!!! Loved the atmosphere, service, deco and of course the food! Totally recommend the brunch. I’ll be coming back!

Found this hidden gem on my road trip to Orlando from Saint Augustine. Came about 3 days straight, they’re food is so good! Their Curry ketchup is a must for your fries and the avocado toast is delicious. When I went, there was a lovely woman playing the piano and was super sweet. She walked around and checked on everyone, I’m assuming she’s the owner. Definitely coming back here when i visit Orlando again! Thank you!

I live in Florida for 2 years and this is the best Coffee I have ever had here.The stuff is amazing doing a good service letting you feel very comfortable.I speak to the owner of the place she is so sweet and kind.The design of the place is amazing its design in rostic style.The motive was to create a place that you can sit in as a family a group of friends or even by yourself and not feel strange.The coffee shop invite local artist to come perform or show their work.I promise you that you will have a great experience there.So go and try a good coffee shop.

Absolutely delicious food. My husband and I both cleaned our plates. Chefs protein choice benedict was perfectly seasoned and on point on their egg poaching. The breakfast burger is enough to be your only meal for the day! Delicious and filling!

We ordered waffles, cauliflower crab cakes and salmon avo tartare togo, everything tasted delicious, loved cauliflower crab cake the most😃

Great little place, lots of vegan and vegetarian and gluten free options, plus solidly yummy staples to keep your big breakfast eaters and carnivores happy. Do try to get there early if you have your heart set on something though, as even though theyre open until about 3 some of the more popular dishes/specials are gone by 1. Parking is a smidge awkward so if youre with multiple people try to carpool if you can, the lot is large but parking is only at the edges.

Come here now. This is one of those places thats gonna really take off soon and will be almost impossible to eat at because the line will be out the door. The food is that good. I had the burger with no bun and salad instead of fries. Absolutely delicious and I dont feel bogged down. Wonderful experience, will be back again!

Bold and tasty coffee selection! Daily baked goods and a great atmosphere including a pianist (she was amazing)

Wonderful place, never been there before but will be going back cuz we enjoyed the food again wonderful place to eat in College Park

Loved the chicken & waffless! So crispy and the waffles are Belgian. Unlimited mimosas for $15, place is overall amazing ! Cafe vibes, super chill

Such a wonderful experience and amazing service. Not to mention, the food is absolutely delicious! My family was in town and decided to eat there 2 consecutive days, that’s how good it was. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed this place, it was so nice how everyone in the family can get a different type of food and still sit together. They do have seating outside which was really pretty with lights. We really enjoyed everything and will definitely be back.

Amazing food. Bottomless mimosas. Great vegan options! Loved it. First time there and we will be back

This place is a whole vibe. I had an iced coffee latte with vanilla and lavender and it was divine. I also had the avocado toast which was delicious. Would definitely come back.

Wow...what a jewel!....The staff is really nice and friendly, they know how to provided excellent customer service. The food is fresh and delicious. On a super busy Sunday morning they were cranking out delicious offerings quiclky with out sacrificing quality. I am definitely a fan and we will definitely be back!!

Top notch chicken and waffles. My favorite used to be from Maxines on Shine and this topped it.Mimosas were great.Avocado toast also a banger, highly recommend their chimichurri.Would come back

Happy to find this place. Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices, good location. Will be back.

A cool, comfortable, local place for just coffee or a great breakfast, lunch, or champagne brunch. It lives up to its name as a place to relax and linger.

Im not the type to write a review if not prompted to do so lol.. but this place is adorable and the food was amazing! Plus service was awesome! Im always looking for new spots to eat and Ill definitely be back to try more. 😋

Cafe Linger is easily one of the top breakfast/lunch spots in the Orlando area right now. I’ve seen people rave about the avacado toast (my favorite) so I won’t dwell on that. So what else? Well, it’s super clean and well lit, with WiFi service available during the week and people “working from the restaurant” are welcomed. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, just really a very nice group of people. And the food, well, let’s just say I guess they just take a lot of pride in serving high-quality, fresh ingredients in creative and tasty ways. Plus they have a great array of coffees, teas and other beverages.If you venture in on the weekend it’s usually quite busy. But that’s the price of success. Keep it up Linger, you’re a real gem for College Park!

Best Avocado toast Ive ever had in my life by a wide margin. It was so good Im not even sure if I would even just call it Avocado toast. It has balsamic tomatoes and onions that are super soft and wonderful, plus a chimichurri topping that really ties the whole thing together. Id love to go back and try something else on the menu, but I dont see how anything else could be as good as this.

First time going and I would recommend this place its great

I don’t think I’ve ever had a better experience out to eat or at a cafe... the service was incredible - the workers were so kind and helpful, Mary was playing live music on the piano, and I was introduced to the owner who was exceptionally kind and inviting as well.The coffee was fabulous and the breakfast sandwich was perfect. I could go on - but what I appreciated most was that Cafe Linger felt truly local in the best way possible. I came on my own to get some work done and had two locals introduce themselves to me. It was a delight!

Exceeded my expectations. I was so excited to eat here and I had such an amazing experience. Every employee I interacted with was so courteous and kind and made me feel so welcome. And the food and coffee were perfect. It definitely left an impression on me and I can’t wait to go back!

Found this place totally on a whim and was sold immediately on their loaded crepe. Staff was very friendly and food was so so good! Can’t wait to return and try more!

My partner enjoyed chicken and waffles, and I add Belgian waffles with bacon-and-eggs over medium absolutely delicious😋😋😋😋

This Saturday we decided to try a new place for Brunch and it was amazing. The customer service was outstanding and the food so delicious. I also had a cappuccino and my friend the unlimited mimosas. U want be disappointed. The atmosphere is so welcoming and there was a Piano-list as well as an extra bonus. We will definitely be returning soon.

Very relaxing chill vibe, food is awesome!!

Nice place. Great staff. Good food. New place to chill.

Such a gem! Highly recommend! Used to come here when I lived in Orlando and now I have to stop everytime I come even close to Orlando. The service is like family. The food is delicious. You can tell the team puts soul and love into everything they do there. Plus I love the colorful interior even if I cant linger to long. Well done Linger team!

Stumbled upon this place a couple weeks ago and have been looking forward to returning! Love that they have kid items for parents to be able to enjoy a coffee in peace 😅I love getting homework and work done here. Yummy food. Good atmosphere. Tasty coffee👌

What a delightful place 😍Café Linger is so gosh darn cozy and delicious.Having only been here once so far, I cant wait to come back and work on something.The coffee is definitely delicious. You cant go wrong with thier latte.The Madame Linger was fabulous. I got this wonderful sense of joy eating it. The bechamel sauce all over was everything.I ended my stay with an affogato. Lawwwwd. Whoever was like,bruh, lets pour espresso over ice creamIs a genius. So simple, yet so delicious.

This a gem. We must protect Cafe Linger at all costs. I ordered the chicken and waffles with a lavender iced coffee with a couple drops cbd and it was delicious. Perfectly sized portion. Nice chilled atmosphere. Shut up and take my money.

Great spot in college park! I have eaten both in the restaurant and also grabbed take out and it’s always delicious! The staff is also so friendly and goes out of their way for customers. I couldn’t decide between hot tea and iced tea and they gave me hot tea with a cup of ice and some lemon on the side so I could have both :).

Avocado toast and the steak and eggs bowl are delicious!! Coffee and mimosas were also really good. The mimosa was the perfect combination of champagne and orange juice. I have been here several times and each time the food is always freshly made and amazing. I would say they have the best avocado toast I’ve ever had....and I’ve had a lot of avo toast. The service is great too. The workers and owner are very friendly. It’s definitely our go-to breakfast/brunch spot. We eat there least 2-3 times per month (aka almost every weekend).

Gorgeous place, great for a meeting, and good food. I had the bacon egg croissant for breakfast, and it was very good. Loved the mocha latte too.

Cozy establishment with very tasty options.

What a unique and cool place! Ricotta Pancakes with homemade jam and chicken waffles + caramel crunch. Holy hell. This is our new go to for lunch.

LOVED Cafe Linger!! My first visit & had the avocado toast & it was DELISH!! Loved the decor & cant wait to go back & try something else on their menu!!

So much more than just a café! A great atmosphere meets delicious food made by people with passion for what they do.

I had the lemon ricotta pancakes with omg bacon and perfect medium eggs. Everything was so good. I like the concept. My one and only gripe was getting someones attention for a refill or some condiment was a little tough. I like that anyone can help you, but the staffs head should be more on a swivel looking for people trying to flag them down. At one point we were just shy of jumping up and down while a staff member was looking in our general direction. Other than that, keep up the good work.

Best place in orlando to hang out with family and have some lunch

Adorable establishment with a kind staff and spectacular food!

One of the best in College Park! Great food, coffee, and service, always a great experience here.

Quick, friendly service and high quality food.

How is there not a line outside the door at this place??? First, that atmosphere is like brunching in your best friends living room;Sofas with chaise lounges, soft chairs, coffee tables, dining tables with mismatched chairs. We chose a spot at the community table, although we were the only 2 there, it’s the best spot to people watch. The staff was so super friendly (like your best friend host) and extremely accommodating. We ordered the Kale & Quinoa bowl with Smoked Salmon, Ricotta Pancakes, Avocado Toast, 2 glasses of Rose, and 2 Lattes; and I honestly can’t tell you what was my favorite! The bowl was loaded with “healthy goodness” but so much flavor, and the salmon added a great richness while the tiny bits of pineapple cut it with just a bite of sweetness. The ricotta pancakes were light as can be but so satisfying, and my personal preference was the berry purée instead of the syrup, both served on the side. The avocado toast had beautifully sliced avocado topped with roasted shallots, grape tomatoes and some type of amazing pesto that would have been wonderful on its own with a huge loaf of crusty bread. Once we finished we caved and ordered off the sweets menu; we got the lemon custard which I think was a daily special. It was absolutely amazing. Lighter than a traditional custard, almost mousse like, topped with a blueberry purée and fresh berries...I could have bathed in it. Don’t pass this place by, great homemade food, relaxing comfortable environment, and wonderfully attentive staff. Everything you could want in a brunch, or any meal, spot, solo or accompanied by your favorite people.

One of my most favourite places! Highly recommend! If you want to try really tasty food, this cafe is what you need. Great place!

A charming place with excellent eats and a relaxing atmosphere. Added to our mental list of places to frequent.Update: its been almost a year and we have frequented this place many times since the original review. I have to say a year later its just as good as when it opened... maybe even better and it was already great. This is in my top favorites in Orlando. Do yourself a favor skip Disneys overpriced and overhyped mediocracy and discover where the natives and locals like to go. Cafe linger is an emerald in the beating heart that is Orlando culinary. Live music excellent food and mimosas for the nerves. The name suits this place so well a great spot to relax

The menu is very eccentric and they make everything in house. Amazing sandwiches and salads. Great atmosphere in there and the owner is usually there and very attentive

I never leave reviews but I was compelled to. The quality of the food, even the simple things like scrambled eggs, caught me by surprise. The price isn’t ridiculously high, it’s fair for the quality.

The place is very allergy friendly, great food (Loved the pancakes) and great customer service. Saturdays are the best days to come, around 11 there is a professional pianist that really makes the spot very special and relaxing. If you want good food and a nice and relaxing place this is the place to be at! I highly recommend it!

Great coffee and delicious food! Im in love with the tomato bisque 😍 and the staff is always super friendly 👍🏼

Friendly staff, amazing food, clean and cute atmosphere...there isnt anything more I could ask for!I love having this cafe in my town, they really are something special!

I live near by so I come here quite a bit. The food is always delicious and fresh. Great for me and my husband because the have great vegan/vegetarian options and he is always happy with the selection of options with meat. Also, the entire staff is so nice and friendly!

Amazing! Everything here is excellent. Exceptional food. Great vibe. Delicious coffee and sweet treats. 1st timer today for my Birthday but had to try a little of everything. Based on the menu alone I knew it was going to be good, then it beyond exceeded my expectations. A must try! Cannot wait to go back on a Saturday or Sunday for mimosas. 🙂

OUTSTANDING customer service skills. Dining location is very homey and chill. I’d avoid Saturday brunch if you want to skip the piano recital/lessons.

Food and service always perfect. I had the Lemon Ricotta pancakes (a special I think)....awesome!

I love it this place, very beautiful, the food is amazing! Definitely I will come back.

Amazing food and coffee, the staff is extremely attentive and friendly. I will definitely be coming back!

I just want to say, Im so glad I found this place. It was surprisingly close to my current residence. I decided to get my order to-go after getting my nails done nearby and it was delicious. Very neatly packaged. ALSO, the decor of this place really suits the name. It makes you want to linger and enjoy your coffee/food. I plan to return so I can bask in the environment and feel spoiled by the sweet and charismatic staff. If any of you see this, THANK YOU for being so pleasant. It warmed my heart.

I visited family in Orlando about 6 months ago, and ended up grabbing breakfast at Café Linger a couple times during my short stay. The fact that I’m logging in to write a review six months later tells you how charmed I was by this place. What in particular? Everything. The staff: knowledgeable and welcoming, I felt like they went above and beyond in their service. (Also, let me note that I was in between jobs at the time, so pinching pennies a bit. A couple of the times I was in there, I only ordered a tea, and I still got treated with respect and attentive service. And they knew I was from out of town, aka, wouldn’t be an ongoing customer too.) You can’t always get an accurate read on these things from the outside, but—it seemed like they had good team morale too. That matters to me, because how employees treat each other is often connected to how they themselves are being treated, and I want to support businesses that actually take care of their people. Ok. So: Five stars for the staff. The food: I loved every single thing I tried from the food and the beverage menu. Quality product and thoughtful flavor pairings. It was a party in my mouth. If I lived in Orlando, pretty sure I would try every single menu item over time. And then the atmosphere: indoor and outdoor seating options. Tables and comfy nooks. Places for groups and for individuals. Tasteful decor, clean restrooms.Just. All. The. Things.If you’re an out of towner looking for a place to snag WiFi and coffee. This is it.If you’re a local and you’ve never been, it’s time to change that.

Love the food and the interior, super fun and chill ♥️

Excellent food; exceptional service.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Its so nice to come here and chill out for the day!!It would be great to see one or two more vegan options added to the menu, but the Avocado toast is so so good!

The food is seriously delicious here ! Ive become a regular now. They are rotating the daily specials, if they have the steak and eggs, dont miss it ! Its soo good. Add some CBD to your coffee and relax, enjoy your delicious breakfast.

Very unique, friendly staff food was fresh, no Wow factor, enjoyed environment possibly will visit again, the nutella crepe was YUMMY!

Great food, friendly staff, homelike atmosphere. Top-notch vegetarian & even vegan options, excellent coffee, creative and deliciously satisfying specials. This place is a neighborhood treasure, a small business doing good by being good. They have earned your loyal patronage!

Good place to find serenity and hangout with books and coffee. So happy to have this new place to chill! Coffee and food are good.

The food is delicious and the staff is friendly! Great service.

Great service, just had coffee but the food looked fantastic.

Good place and good food. We take a coffee after work was done and was good. Stop for a good coffee

Great place. Good food.

Delicious coffee and the croissant was awesome, friendly service. Coffee cups are so cute.

AMAZING gluten free bread that they make on site. I had avocado toast on some and it was so delicious! The staff is great and they are doing curb side ordering during the pandemic. Cant wait to get back to normal and go here again when I am in town visiting the parental units. Thank you for all your hard work Cafe Linger! (Oh, and they have the BEST coffee!!!)

I am so glad I found this place and will definitely come back again and again! Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and great coffee! Just one thing was upsetting when we arrived. It was 12pm so 3 hrs until close but we were told we can place a takeout order since there’s no table and no wait time because ppl like to come and hangout. Within 15 mins more than 3 tAbles were empty !!I don’t understand why we were told that and I never heard it before that no waiting part. Other than that it’s perfect and great service.

Very Friendly and Excellent Food.

Epic chicken sandwich, tar tar, coffee, fruit flavored water and jolly staff, love it. 💕
