Luminescent — Restaurant in Alafaya

Amazing spot with the best atmosphere and vibe! Cant speak more highly of this location! The level of detail and decoration is simply astounding and you can tell a lot of care went into this place! If you are in the Orlando area and need a well-crafted coffee then look no further! If you are in for something stronger then this is the place for you too! It is a great spot for friends to gather and you wont be disappointed with the great selection of beverages! The owners have placed immense passion into every detail and drop. There is care amongst the family that runs this bar and its beyond incredible the combinations of flavors! We could not begin to fathom the unique indian inspired touches in the signature coffees and highly recommend it to anyone looking for uniqueness in...

My only recommendation (and this might just be my preference as a reader) would be that perhaps during the day, change the music to something less bass heavy and clubby and save that for night time when people are there to drink. That's my only (very small) critique. Will be...
