CARINOS CAFÈ

Came here with a client for a quick coffee meeting. Little confused on whether you sit and they serve, or you order and then sit... it was awkward. I felt my questions weren't heard correctly, very much a language barrier there. I did my best to be patient and simplify, but i felt like i was being rude in doing that, so i just settled and ordered from a picture instead of what i wanted. The coffee was fine, the croissant was good. Minimal service once you sit down and get your order. The place i wanted to go was closed.. so we settled, and Im kind of bummed it wasn't better.Hope you have a better experience than me.

I had the pleasure of discovering Carinos Cafe, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of downtown Kissimmee, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the beautiful ambiance that the restaurant offered. With both indoor and outdoor seating options, soft music playing in the background, and charmingly colorful umbrellas overhead, the atmosphere felt like a little piece of San Juan, Puerto Rico--a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience.Although our waitress seemed a bit tired and rushed initially, she still provided attentive service, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout our visit. The presence of multiple servers checking in on us regularly was a definite plus, adding to the overall positive experience.Now, let's talk about the food! I opted for the breakfast menu and found it to be quite satisfying. While I would have preferred a touch more salt in the eggs, the bacon was flavorful, and the hashbrowns were perfectly crispy. My boyfriend tried the chicken and fries, which turned out to be a delightful surprise. Despite not being breaded, the chicken had a satisfying crispiness to it that we both enjoyed.However, the highlight of the dining experience was undoubtedly the boba tea! I tried the vanilla and coconut milk slush, and it was beyond amazing! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the fact that it was only $5.50 for such a refreshing and delicious treat was a pleasant surprise.In terms of pricing, our meals were reasonably priced, with my breakfast costing around $10 and the chicken and fries totaling approximately $17--an excellent value considering the quality of food and overall experience.Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Carinos Cafe for anyone looking for a charming spot to enjoy a brunch outing with family or friends, or even for a cozy date vibe. With its delightful ambiance, attentive service, and delicious offerings, Carinos Cafe is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who visits.

I always like to start off with the good. The cafe was really pretty and decorated nicely. I loved the vibes and the Puerto Rico feeling. The frappe was also really good! Now to start off with the food, I only liked the toast. Me and my husband were not fans of the food at all. The eggs texture was really soft and felt weird to us. The French toast sticks tasted like the ones we buy at the freezer section at Walmart for our kids. The bacon tasted ok , tater tots were fine but also tasted as if we could just toss them in our air fryer. The prices weren't all that great. The service was definitely mid, they took forever to come to the table for our order when the cafe was empty and they didn't even really check back on us. Wouldn't be coming back

The ambiance was magical with colorful umbrellas in the outside plus the inside is beautiful The staff was incredibly attentive and made us feel right at home. And oh, the menu! So many food options, but we couldn't resist to get some coffee , hot chocolate , and refreshing mocktail

First time trying this restaurant. We were a party of 3 for lunch. The good: decorated really cute, and really good air conditioning. The bad: after ordering, our server told us that the menus were out of date and the prices had gone up. She was unable to tell us which items had gone up and by how much. I ordered a grilled cheese and my companions ordered a baked potato and a pita pizza. We all ordered specialty teas.Within 5 minutes all drinks were delivered, along with our friend's baked potato. We thought the rest of the food would be coming shortly, but no. After 15 minutes of staring at my friend's potato, my grilled cheese came out, then a server tried to bring us meals which were not ours. After 5 more minutes, the pizza was delivered. Now the baked potato is beyond cold and I really don't know why they delivered it with the drinks, as if it were an appetizer. I really didn't think anyone could get a grilled cheese wrong but this place did. A slice of semi-melted American cheese on a huge soft bun. Grilled cheese on a bun! To make it worse the bun was doughy and yeasty tasting. The hibiscus tea I ordered was so sweet my teeth hurt. I had to ask for a cup of ice to water it down.When we were ready to pay, the server came over with her little machine and started telling us the total. I said that I needed to see an itemized receipt as she had told us that the prices had gone up. The receipt included a service charge of 5% (that wasn't on the menu and that I wouldn't have known about if I had not asked for an itemized receipt. When questioned the server said it was a downtown fee and that all the restaurants downtown charge it. We ate downtown last week and there was no such fee.In summary, it was disappointing food, confusing prices and poor service. I would not recommend

CUIDADO CON LOS PRECIOS! Fui muy contenta a probar el café. Me cobraron precios diferentes a la hora de pagar. Los precios en el menú son menos. Yo pedí 2 Ice Coffees 16oz que claramente en el menú son $4.95 luego al pagar me los cobraron a $5.95 cada uno. Cuando le hice el reclamo el muchacho a cargo me dijo que los precios cambiaron y no aparecen en el menú que está disponible, solo en su sistema. Luego la muchacha que me cobró me dijo que se disculpaba por no advertirme antes sobre la diferencia en precios, esperando que yo estuviera conforme con simplemente una explicación. Muy conveniente para ellos verdad? Al pedirles que arreglaran su error se tomaron su BUENNNN tiempo para la devolución de la diferencia.Esta era mi primera vez y claramente mi última. A mi esposo le hicieron exactamente lo mismo días antes y no lo sabía. VERIFIQUEN BIEN SU RECIBO.

I recently visited Carinos Cafe and had a good experience overall -- the staff was friendly and attentive, the prices were reasonable, the decor was super cute, and the Spaniard Hot Chocolate is delectable!

Nothing meaningful.. service is mediocre and parking is where you find it. Loud and greasy . No one knows what ingredients are in the pastries and the boba tea should be left to those who know what they're doing..

Lovely vibe, staff is friendly, food is good and affordable. I love coming here to study or for a coffee date.

The prices on the menu are much lower than what they actually charge. They said "the menu was old". We offered to pay what the menu said and they refused and were going to call the police. We had a train to catch so we paid with a credit card and disputed it. They ruled in our favor! The service was lousy and the food was mediocre!
