Under the circumstances being there, this Cafe is all vegetarian & our breakfast was wonderful. We were even able to sit out on the patio and enjoy the view.

Best cafeteria in a hospital environment all food totally vegetarian and vegan options available. Fresh juices and healthy drinks. Patients and doctors can mingle and eat. Outdoor patio on small lake where you can observe frequent landing and take off of Florida Hospital's Helicopter Ambulance. One of the top tier hospitals in America and probably largest fully vegan one also !

I've been coming here for years. Particularly for the breakfast offerings. Has a very diverse menu and the food is cooked without frying and other not harsh ways of cooking things. The main dishes I often get are the French toast, eggs Benedict and breakfast sliders. I used to often get the breakfast burrito, however over the past year it's decreased in size by fifty percent. Yet, remains priced the same . It lacks seasoning overall when it comes to many of the lunch offerings. And my major con would also be the smoothie and fresh juice on demand area. The juicer is more often than not "down" because staff states it's a lot to clean. Then far as the smoothies. They prepare them well however the size and quality of fruit they utilize for over $6 a piece don't sit well with me.

Yeah it was pretty good. Parking is difficult if you're not already at the hospital for another reason other than to eat here. I got the quinoa with tofu, brussel sprouts and home fries. The tofu was surprisingly good but the quinoa was a plain. The brussel sprouts and home fries were also pretty good. The staff isn't all that friendly but they were helpful once you get their attention.

Lakeside Cafe is the saving grace of Advent Health Orlando cafeteria food. The menu is different everyday for combo meals, which could range from being eh, to delicious. Yuca fries, actually seasoned rice, scalloped potatoes, and a few more items are bomb. Then you have the Ziti which has nearly no cheese and just tastes like pasta and tomato sauce. Whack. The consistent items like the sandwich station, salad station, and flatbread are typically all very good. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the lakeside salad, all the flatbreads. Bomb. To be fair though, I'm only impressed because Welch's cafeteria is actually just whack.
