Benjamin French Bakery & Cafe - Cafe in Orlando - 716 E Washington St, USA

Came here for the first time and tried the almond croissant and it was delicious. Staff was very friendly. Bakery located in perfect corner with outside seating and perfect spot to people watch. I definitely recommend checking out this French bakery.

Beautiful, fun and quaint cafe in downtown Orlando. Ample street parking close by. We had the Caprese sandwich and a few crepes and everything was delish! One of the best cappuccino’s I’ve had in a while

I get around Orlando a lot and I have to tell you about Benjamin’s!! Wow! Exceptional Food! Taste and combination on point. I love French cafes but this place far exceeded my expectations! Wonderful employees that are super friendly and helpful! The iced latte I got was cinnamon and caramel and was perfectly balanced with sweet and creamy notes! The sandwich I got was on a baguette and was huge!! I thought it would be half the size I got! The sandwich was called the Monroe I think. It was layered with so much flavor and the bread was fresh and delicious! This is a must see for Breakfast, Brunch and lunch!! Bring the girls or a business meet up! I came alone and had a wonderful spot to people watch. The inside was clean and cool with lovely lowfi tunes playing. I will definitely come here again it beats anything else here at Thornton park!

Really enjoyed my lunch and coffee at this hidden gem in Thornton Park! Great service and everything was freshly prepared. Very chill atmosphere great for working, relaxing or sitting outside and enjoying a sunny afternoon. I had a chicken, feta, spinach crepe with an egg on top and a side salad. Completed my visit with an Americano that was made as ordered and was quite tasty.

Great food, coffee, staff and location! Definite check it out. My only criticism is about their use of disposable plastic plates/forks etc. "Americans discarded 51m tons of wrappers, bottles and bags in 2021 – about 309lb of plastic per person – of which almost 95% ended up in landfills, oceans or scattered in the atmosphere in tiny toxic particles." Let's all do our bit for the environment.

I just stopped by to purchase a bottle of water, and I was surprised by the fact they have real orange juice, like squeezed at the time you order... something quite rare in this country.

Was looking for an alternative cafe in the area and was looking forward to a quaint french cafe/bakery. Unfortunately, it was met with food & coffee that became boring to masticate. The coffees we ordered did not taste to have espresso in them, while the food (while somewhat more visually appealing) tasted aged (not fresh) describing what I would consider American cookery disguised as French cuisine.

Great little French hole in the wall. The coffee was excellent and the lava cake was divine. The ambience is relaxing and both servers were attentive and nice, always with a smile 👍. Check restaurant out if you are in the area. Plenty of decent restaurants within walking distance. Will return. Thank you!
