This place is such an asset to the city! Sooo many books but so much more!! There’s a whole area with all kinds of technology you can use from flight and driving simulators to podcast recording booths, 3D printer, computers for use of Adobe suite and so much more! There are also tons of classes and events you can take part in! What a great way to enjoy free and no cost access to technology and learning!

Alien Treats FL

Took my 16 and 12 year old kids and we loved it! The service was super friendly and helpful! The place is so fun with lots of ice cream options, merchandise and games! They had tables with mini cornhole, Jenga and other table top games. They also had a couple of arcade games and even an air hockey table. But the best part were the milkshakes! Honestly, mine was probably the best milkshake I’ve ever had! It had coffee in it too which made this coffee lover happy! We can’t wait to go back!

Vault 5421

Such a unique spot for drinks! It’s small with a hidden speakeasy feel to it but the place is covered in unique things and they even have notebooks around so you can write or draw and others can add to it. The drinks are also unique and reasonably priced.

The Salty Donut

The donuts here are AMAZING!! They’re soft and airy and so delicious! They often have limited time flavors which I love as well! The lemon ricotta is one of my favorites when they have it but you can’t go wrong with any item here! I also love their coffee! It’s definitely worth a visit to treat your family (or just yourself)!

Barnie's Coffee & Tea Co.

A must visit when in Winter Park! The coffee is awesome. My personal favorite is their original Santa’s White Christmas. Get it cold, get it hot, and grab a bag to take home! It’s that good! The food is also awesome and in large portions! The ham and cheese croissant is one of my favorites!

Gasp

My 12 year old daughters absolute favorite little store! The owner here is so sweet and is usually there in the shop. It’s got so many unique items that change often. My daughter always find something she loves and great gift items! We look forward to going back every so often to see what new things we can find! I love supporting local business owners and love the example the owner is setting for young girls - if they want to open a little pink shop full of little girly things, they can absolutely do it and be successful! Definitely check this place out!
