One Flight Up Cafe

This is a cute little place that span several rooms and a balcony one flight up from the main drag in Mount Dora. The staff is very nice and quick. The lobster bisque is very good. Way better than the bisque you can get at the actual lobster restaurant down the block a bit.

This is a great place to people watch! I enjoyed sitting outside and chatting with my friend while having a cup of mint tea! They have food items there that I will have to try at some point, but I'm so happy I came and look forward to going back again!

The staff were absolutely wonderful and the amount of seating they have is extensive. You can absolutely count on arriving here and finding a good spot to spread out your things and study. The reason I gotta give this place 3 stars is just the coffee is not good and their food is just ok. Honestly I hate giving this type of review because everything else was wonderful, the environment, the people, it was a great experience. But I am so hung up on the food because if it is indeed a cafe, at least the coffee has to be half decent. The food doesn't need to be gourmet, but you have to get the coffee right.

Underwhelming. Expected a bit more based on the reviews. Located upstairs (duh), One Flight Up has a simple cafe menu with very limited breakfast offerings. I had the Quiche (spinach, artichoke). A small slice, tasty, but overall disappointing since I paid $9. The one-size Latte, served in a plain mug, was basic, hot, but not very strong (recommend getting an extra shot) Perhaps lunch is better. The atmosphere was the best part about the place; nice, kitchy, ample indoor and outdoor patio seating with a lot of original art with 70's music playing in the background. Overall, not bad but not worth the price I paid. Lots of other choices in town.

The food was pretty good, although the presentation wasn't consistent. My wife had the same but had a real plate while I received a paper one. But it was due to what I imagine was a mix-up. They were looking for someone who'd ordered the honey mustard chicken wraps. So only one showed up when the food finally arrived, so they had to fill the other after the fact. It's not a huge issue, but noticeable. The server was apologetic and did good overall. I guess they felt overwhelmed with the extra weekend traffic since it was the blueberry festival this week. Although it's not a huge place, the place had a SOHO vibe to it and felt cozy. Live and learn. I would probably come during another day and compare.

Wonderful environment, friendly and attentive service, and wonderful tasting food! Amanda was super friendly and wonderful as helping us order! Good weekly specials on wines and beers!

Great service, great smoked fish dip, and an ice cold mug to pour your favorite beer into. What else can you ask for? Well sitting on their outdoor balcony overlooking downtown is an added bonus. My server was friendly, polite, and prompt. She took my order with in minutes of my seating and my order came out shortly afterwards. Make this one of your stops while visiting historic and charming Mount Dora. Next time I'm going to try one of their desserts.

Atmosphere - Great! The restaurant is located in the center of town near the shops. As the name states, the restaurant is located on the second floor of a building (I did not see an elevator). The dining areas are located in several small rooms in what appears to be a former home or apartment. There also is a small outdoor seating area that overlooks the street. The décor is casual, yet very nice.Service - Very Good. Our server was attentive and friendly.Food - Very Good. I had the soup and half sandwich special. I ordered the Lobster Bisque and Roast Turkey with Swiss Cheese. Both were great. The bread was fresh and the roast turkey and Swiss cheese delicious. The soup was served hot and had a great flavor.Overall Value - Excellent. If you are in Mt. Dora and are looking for a lunch that offers a nice atmosphere, good service and very good food at a reasonable price, this is the spot for you.

2nd floor cafe in spectacular Mt Dora. Enjoying the beautiful fall weather in Florida with sunny views from the Cafes outdoor balcony seating. Great friendly service. Coffee was good.

Don't come here with any food allergies unless you want a bad attitude from what appeared to be the owner. All I wanted was No Cheese and I got a SULK Face with a pathetic OK. Paid $30.00 for two orders of Scrambled Eggs with Bacon. Food was decent Terrible Attitude!
