La Finca Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Haines City

I have ordered to go before, but today my wife and me dinner in. First , I highly recommend go early because get busy as the time by passes. Is supposed to be a “ Puertorican “ restaurant, but I will call it a hybrid Puertorican restaurant ( a mix of Puertorican and Hispano American). Well the Pro and Con’s PRO’s Excellent coffee (10 +) and beverages options. Taste of the food is really good. The sandwiches and omelets are really tasty, the best part it doesn’t give you an oily aftertaste as many placed I have been before. The place is really comfortable and the music has a perfect volume that allows have a conversation. Nice family atmosphere CON’s The cost of what is consumed , is a little expensive. A hot coffee, a cold coffee and 2 omelettes , over $40 dollars. Every time the customer leaves a tip, the waiter shouts "Tip!" and the rest of the employees shout "Wepaa!" (a Puerto Rican slang). My impression is that it's a subtle way of penalizing you in order to take advantage of the customer leaving a tip. Extortion? Mexican people say “ don’t do good things that feels bad, or bad things that looks good.” And last but not least important, they need to work on the greeting ( more real, customer needs to feel it ) and learn how to organize and address the customer, we went to take a table and the waitress told us don’t take that one take the next table ( both are for 2 people) but the table was bigger and gave us the small one and I am 6ft high . 250 lbs old man. A minute later other young couple walked in and took the table that was denied to us. Im old and grumpy, my wife opened her eyes and looked at me because she knew that I was the intention to complain. But I...

The restaurant was empty when we arrived, so we expected quick and attentive service—which we initially received. However, the experience quickly went downhill.

We were told the restaurant only serves turkey bacon, so we both ordered meals based on that. My sandwich included egg, cheese, and turkey bacon; my wife had scrambled eggs, avocado, and turkey bacon. Her meal was oddly charged à la carte, which increased the price unnecessarily.

Then came a $1.50 upcharge for almond milk in her latte—more than what most major coffee chains charge (if at all). At checkout, we found out the “turkey bacon” was actually pork. Thankfully, they removed the charge, but it was a major oversight after we were clearly told otherwise.

To add to the chaos, when a customer came in with a service dog, the staff became noticeably distracted—more focused on the dog than helping other waiting customers.

Update:

I have since revisited this restaurant and they made good on the issues noted. It’s an awesome place to have breakfast and brunch. The atmosphere is likened to a shop in Puerto Rico and the staff are genuinely very very nice! My favorite part of the experience is when you leave a tip they show their utmost appreciation in an authentic Puerto Rican way… I give this place a 5...

There is an L shaped hallway inside the building that reveals the front of the Cafe door. Outside of the Cafe you will see cover order pickup windows for takeout. We decided to go in and enjoy our meal inside.

This Cafe is run by ONE very polite individual. She takes the orders and cooks the food herself. SO BE PATIENT WITH HER. It is very worth the wait!!!!

The menu is very well put together. Very easy for my kids to find what they wanted. There were 5 of us, two adults and three kids, 12, 9 & 6. My wife ordered a BLTE croissant sandwich that she loved it. The two younger kids ordered omelets. They were pretty big and served with toasted slices of french bread. My 5yr old raved about it and wanted more!!! Chocolate chip pancakes were targeted by my other kid! And of course I had to ry them myself! Personally I don't care for Chocolate chips in my pancakes. But the quality of the taste and texture of the pancakes were amazing. The french toast with strawberries and blueberries got my full attention. End I really enjoyed...
