Christo's Café has been a gem of a find for me. As a person who enjoys sitting at a breakfast bar and unwinding for a bit, this place has not disappointed.
First, the customer service has been very gracious and consistent. I've not had a single bad experience. They are quick to welcome you, everyone says hello and there are smiles a plenty.
The food has also been a very pleasant surprise. Since going there, I've had the western omelette, the Greek omelette, the Philly cheese omelette, the Reuben and the general breakfast plate. Again, like the customer service, the food is consistently good. If I had to give a recommendation, it would be the Greek omelette. There is a ton of flavor.
However, the menu is huge and has plenty to choose from. They also have specials that they change routinely to give you something different each time you go. I will say, I wasn't a huge fan of the Philly omelette as it was a rather simple omelette.
The environment is very peaceful despite being fast paced. What I like most about the restaurant, sitting at the bar, I see and hear the interactions of the employees, management, kitchen and customers. There is very little friction noticeable to the customer.
Everyone does what they need to do and the staff really seems to embody the customer service mentality, making this place a great go to for your general breakfasts.
The restaurant itself is not overly big but is bigger than it looks once inside. There is also plenty of outdoor seating. It is wheelchair accessible, especially the outside. The parking can be a challenge, even when they aren't busy so you may have to find street parking.
I will say, it is not very business friendly, as it doesn't have much offer individuals to get computer work done. On the weekends, that's probably by design. But on the weekdays when it's less busy, this would be a nice perk.
Overall, the is a great little cafe that has given me exceptional experiences so far. Definitely my favorite breakfast cafe...
Read moreAwsome place for breakfast. I wanted try a little of everything. Their Pumpkin Pancakes were some of the best I have tried in a long time. Their regular, "Huge" pancakes were soft and fluffy" I also was able to try their eggs Benedict and the entire dish was done to perfection. Their scrambled eggs were fluffy and not overcooked and the bacon was crispy and not oily. The coffee was amazing! The customer service was amazing and the time frame from the order to actually receiving the food was less than 10 minutes and the coffee was placed nice and hot within 5 minutes of my party sitting down. Excellent and honestly cooking done the right way. Utensils were shiny and clean and everything about this restaurant is done with pride and honestly one of my top three diners here in Orlando Florida. Thank you to the owners, staff, and master cooks for making this visit one that make this place a regular for me and I highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch. One of the people in my group ordered the hamburger and he said that hamburger was fresh and cooked to perfection. Incredible place to eat. It was my pleasure to eat there and I just cannot say how Happy I was to find a place like...
Read moreExcellent little diner on Edgewater and Dartmouth (College Park). I've seen this place on weekend mornings and it's packed. My nephew and I dropped by one day (a Thursday morning around 9am) and there were plenty of seats, but it still felt like business was good and it wasn't dead. The food is very good quality (for diner food mind you). We ordered 2 dishes and sides, and I can't think of a single thing that we didn't like. The Lemon Chicken Orzo was very good. It's like an Avgolemono soup, but I think better with the orzo and no egg. Amazingly, for College Park, the prices at this place are very affordable as well. The place was also cleaner than most other diners I've been to, and didn't feel greasy in any way. This place reminds of the many great Greek diners in NJ.
Another reviewer on here mentioned that the dumpsters outside smelled horrible. I did not notice this at all, so I suspect that that problem is occasional and only noticeable if you sit outside. Also IMNSHO, I just think it's kind of weird to complain about a smelly dumpster, as I believe they all are, and so that is not something to mention in a review of...
