Benjamin French Bakery Cafe

An incredible hidden gem in Thornton park! Adorable little spot with ample inside and outside seating. We loved the bacon, egg & cheese croissant and the club sandwich (10/10 fresh baked baguette). Delicious tea selection -- I enjoyed the hot green tea & my husband enjoyed the iced ginger peach tea. A delicious looking bakery case of sweet treats; we are obsessed with the fresh baked chocolate croissants. Service was friendly & speedy. Can't wait to come back with girlfriends for salads & a bottle of mimosas for brunch next time.

A very simple little French bakery situated right next to lake Eola. I loved how light and welcoming the atmosphere was. I highly recommend their Americano with oat milk, and peppermint syrup. The service was fast and very friendly. Visit today!

Place is so cute, coffee is amazing, food is amazing, service is amazing. Clean and friendly staff. We are visiting Orlando and went here both mornings to try some other stuff on the menu. Great experience! Dog friendly. Gave our dog a pup cup and a water bowl.

Thornton Park is one of my favorite Orlando communities, and Benjamin sits right in its heart. Guys, this place is the sweetest; if you prefer sweet or savory, you are in for a treat. They freshly squeeze their orange juice!Worth the stop for breakfast or lunch; besides the great food, the countertop and outdoor seating make for great people-watching views. Try the Delice Du Sud Quiche, it hits every time!

Fantastic cafe! Stopped here on New Years Day and has a wonderful lunch! The Bordeaux ( Butter, tomato, brie cheese, apple, grapes, and balsamic dressing) was perfect! Served on a delicious baguette, I was thrilled with the flavor profile. We also had several coffee drinks, macarons, and a breakfast sandwich. All great! Staff was very friendly. Nice ambience with lovely French music. Highly recommend!

Stopped here for bfast before walking around Lake Eola. Nice little place in Thornton Park, nothing fancy. Some items are made fresh to order, others are premade in the bakery case. We had the ham and cheese bagel, and the egg, cheese, and spinach croissant. Both were made to order, hot and delish. We also had a coffee and a latte, both good. Service is pretty bare bones, you have to get your own utensils, etc and remove your plates and things when done. Lots of seating inside and a few tables outside as well.

The desserts were all so delicious and very cute looking. The staff were all very sweet and patient with us. Ambience is very calm, but bright. Cute little French bakery if you are in the area.

This French Bakery is a hidden gem tucked away in Thornton Park. I have been wanting to check this cafe out, and finally had the chance to. They have a variety of desserts in the display cases including crossiants, quiche, tarts, napoleons, and an assortment of Macarons. They have breakfast sandwiches and serve lunch as well as drinks including lattes, tea, hot chocolate etc. I had to get some Macarons. I got a raspberry and a dark chocolate Macaron. They were both soft with a nice cream like filling with a perfect crunchy yet cake like consistency. However, they were $3 each which I think is a bit absurd for one Macaron.I got a Pan Au Chocolate Crossiant. This was delicious, soft and fresh. I also got a bagel with cream cheese. I am a pretty harsh critic regarding bagels and this bagel was different than typical NY Jewish bagels, but still good! It was grilled with a panini press so it was soft and a bit crispy. The cream cheese was whipped, but still creamy. I will say the service was a bit slow, but the cafe was pretty busy with alot of people waiting and it was after an event at Lake Eola. All of the employees were extremely warm and friendly. I definitely want to come back and try some of the other desserts. It's a bit expensive, but a nice addition to the Thornton Park area!

Excellent cafe!! I had the Parisienne sandwich and it was delicious. The chocolate croissant is amazing. Highly recommended! We drove here from Kissimmee on vacay. Totally worth finding it!

The best!!! The Normandie salad and ginger peach ice tea are my go to. The croissants and quiche are delicious. Great place to sit outside for lunch.
