New General Cafe

I recently visited The General Café in Winter Park for the first time, and I was really impressed! The ambience was beautiful — warm lighting, lush plants everywhere, and a cozy, welcoming vibe. The person who took my order was super kind and had such fun Halloween spirit 🎃! She was also very informative about the menu and offered helpful suggestions about what we could add or change. I researched the place because it was new to me and I come here in Park Avenue often and saw the owner was walking around, so I expected her to come around and greet guests or check on their experiences, but she didn’t — which felt a little odd. That’s honestly the only reason I wouldn’t give a full five stars. I ordered the Vegan Brekkie Sandwich, and while I loved the flavors (especially that spicy sauce!), the House-Made Lentil Sausage was a bit dry on its own. The sauce definitely made up for it though. The Seasoned Potato Wedges were absolutely amazing, and the Drip Coffee (Black) was smooth and flavorful. My boyfriend got the Shroom Avo Toast, and it felt as if it just tasted all the same I couldn’t taste the difference between the shrooms and the avocado. Overall, I really loved the atmosphere and the experience. I’d definitely come back — maybe next time I’ll add some Extra Avocado to my Vegan Brekkie Sandwich. 🌿☕️

I enjoyed (putting it mildly) the Mexicali wrap. No words for the level of freshness, tastiness, thoughtful, creative and perfect mix of ingredients and spices. Pure delight all throughout this meal. Note: ordered as a plater you won’t get a choice of sides so get this as a wrap! For the beverage I loved the Strawberry Rose’ tea served hot! You can tell the pure quality of the tea leaves. The temperature was perfectly hot and steaming but not too hot to burn my tongue. Skillfully prepared dish and beverage and I can’t say enough about New General. The staff was so hospitable and knowledgeable. I asked where their eggs are sourced and they said a local farmer! Sorry I forgot the name of it but I will certainly ask again when I return because knowing how they carefully source is comforting. There are so many choices in our area for good food and coffee so it’s difficult to be a regular but this is my new go-to for vegan options and great hot beverages!

The New General really does feel like a different one compared to most spots in Winter Park. I like minimal and modern aesthetic style. Super clean and fresh food as always! The owner is super empathic and kind. We love this local place and always support them! Thank you for the casual but authentic place.
