407 FYI · Avalon Park & Waterford Lakes
407 FYI · A District FinderAvalon Park was planned as a small town and eats like one: a town center with a food hall at its heart, Puerto Rican and Colombian bakeries, a Portuguese-Italian breakfast room and its own brewery. Waterford Lakes up Alafaya adds the college-corridor layer, specialty coffee and a Turkish cafe feeding the UCF side of the east. Together they are the east side's answer to the district map.

New to the district? Start with these three, then work down the full list below.
3801 Avalon Park East Blvd #120, Orlando, FL 32828
The Avalon Park outpost of the Casselberry-born brewery, a 6,000 square foot indoor-outdoor taproom inside the Marketplace hall. Twenty-plus house beers pour at once, anchored by the 407 Pils and an Avalon Park Amber, with rotating sours and stouts for the regulars. The dog-friendly patio makes it the hall's easiest hang.
3819 Avalon Park East Blvd, Orlando, FL 32828
A Puerto Rican bakery and coffee counter built for the morning line: quesitos, flan de queso, tres leches and almond cake, plus coffee flights and a pistachio cold foam latte. Saturdays draw a crowd that treats the case like a checklist. The pineapple coconut French toast is the sleeper order.
3801 Avalon Park East Blvd Ste. 150, Orlando, FL 32828
A modern European cheese room inside the Marketplace hall: fondue, loaded boards, brie toast and prosciutto flatbread, finished with a goat cheese Basque cheesecake. It is the hall's built-in date night, wine in hand and nowhere to rush off to.

Island Thyme, 457 Avalon Park South Blvd, Orlando, FL 32828-6700, United States
Virgin Islands cooking in Avalon Park, family-run and relaxed, with plates guests call flavorful and well seasoned down to the sides. The jerk chicken lands on point, the braised oxtail comes off the bone, and the stew chicken with sweet, softly crisped plantain has its own following. Rice and peas, mac and cheese, and coconut shrimp round out a menu that tastes like it came from someone's home kitchen.
12789 Waterford Lakes Pkwy, Orlando, FL 32828
A Turkish cafe doing the full spread: a proper Turkish breakfast plate, house gelato, ribeye steak bowls and acai bowls under one roof. Strawberry matcha and sweet cream cold brew keep the drinks interesting. It reads family-run because it is.
Marketplace at Avalon Park, 3801 Avalon Park East Blvd, Orlando, FL 32828, United States
Avalon Park's food hall and front porch: a lively, casual hall of local vendors where the crew never has to agree on one menu. Guests single out the barbecue and the beignets, and the dog-friendly patio keeps the neighborhood in the room. Live music and trivia nights give it an upbeat, local pulse beyond the food.
12001 Avalon Lake Drive Suite G, Orlando, FL 32828
A family-run breakfast and lunch room with a Jersey diner accent and Portuguese and Italian roots. The corned beef hash and berry-stuffed French toast are the orders regulars defend, and a complimentary round of sweet dough croquettes lands like a house handshake. It is the sit-down breakfast Avalon Park was missing.
815 N Alafaya Trl, Orlando, FL 32828
A Korean home-style counter tucked inside the LA Fitness on Alafaya, open to anyone who walks in. Kimbap, buldak ramen and marinated beef plates come cooked to order, with smoothies on the side. The gym setting is the only hurdle, and regulars clear it without thinking.
13001 Founders Square Dr, Orlando, FL 32828
A Colombian family bakery where the warm pandebono and fresh buñuelos set the tone. Arepas come with eggs pericos, beef empanadas stay crisp, and the case runs from almond croissants to tres leches. A proper neighborhood anchor for Founders Square.
3801 Avalon Park East Blvd Ste. 140, Orlando, FL 32828
A small bakery counter inside the Marketplace hall turning out pastries and cakes for the neighborhood. It works best as the sweet stop on an Avalon Park wander: something from the case, coffee in hand, back out to the square.
626 N Alafaya Trl, Orlando, FL 32826
A specialty coffee room on the Alafaya corridor with a quiet, laptop-friendly hum that UCF students found fast. The honey pot iced latte and fresh chai lead, with seasonal matcha and homemade pastries behind them. Avocado toast covers the light-lunch angle.
