Dandelion Communitea Café

Top choice in Orlando


Unabashedly crunchy and definitively organic, this pillar of the sprouts and tempeh and green-tea dining scene serves up creative and excellent plant-based fare in a refurbished old house that invites folks to sit down and hang out.

There's a 'Little Library,' a drum circle, tables in the yard, and craft and local beers; check the website for details on art openings, poetry readings and live music.
