Barnie's Coffee & Tea Co.

I came here for the first time today, and I loved it so much. The coffee is delicious, and I was craving avocado toast . Let me just say craving fulfilled! It's definitely a cute little area to eat breakfast or brunch with friends or even on a solo date. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I recommend this place if you wanna try a cute little coffee place. 🤍

Inconsistent.
Had two nice breakfasts, but yesterday was a flop. Was told by an employee that I can grab a table outside and someone will be with me. I only had 1 hour for lunch, had ann appointment. After waiting 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge my presence, ended up ordering take out (grilled cheese) at the counter inside. Waited another 10 minutes inside. Saw an order placed on the counter.Two young women behind the counter, both on their phones, never acknowledged that the order was ready, never called it. I went to the counter and asked if it was mine. Without checking, one of the women said “sure” and moved it towards me. Fortunately, it was mine.
And in case you wonder, it was not busy, several empty tables, I saw plenty of servers inside. No reason for anyone not to see me for 20 minutes or not to see that the order was ready. I am on Park av often, but not my lunch option in the future.
Grilled cheese was fine, so added one star for that.

More of great little restaurant than just a little coffee shop but picturesque location…feels like you’re in Paris and perfect for people watching (especially on a bright beautiful Saturday with a massive collection of Art exhibits and hundreds of people …bonus lots of dog walkers too)

We stopped by Barnie's to grab a sweet snack and a coffee while exploring Winter Park - coffee was good and the pastries were also tasty! Nice location on Park Ave.

A friend and I visited Barnie's this morning to meet for breakfast, an establishment we have both been paying customers at many times. My past experiences at Barnie's have been fine, nothing about average, as the service can be quite slow with their "seat yourself" policy, which just means sit down and we'll get to you in however long it takes for a server to notice you. So we went and ordered at the counter and then sat at a table and our coffees were brought to us in paper cups, which we thought odd since everyone else's were in glass mugs. About 10 minutes go by until a server comes to our table and asks us to leave since we ordered to go and were taking up a table. We explained to her that we were not aware that we ordered to go, and then were told by her that if we ordered at the counter then we ordered to go, and that her main point was that we had to leave because we would not be tipping a server. We then told her that we did in fact tip at the counter, even when we were not aware that we were ordering to go. Even the man at the table next to us thought it was ridiculous as we just didn't know any better and were never told that ordering at the counter means ordering to go. She went and got her manager, and then he came over and told us, paying and tipping customers, that we had to leave because we unknowingly ordered to go and were taking up a table from the people waiting. He told us we should have known that we ordered to go because supposedly it says so on the front door. He then escorted us out, causing a scene, and sending us to the sidewalk where it was a 50 degree morning in WP. I'm not sure if this is new management, with the recent renovation and all, but they lost customers of 10 years today.

Barnie’s is a delightful coffee shop in a delightful area. My personal favorites on their menu are the flavored drip coffees. The staff are friendly and helpful, the space is a
little small but reasonable for Winter Park, the outside seating is wonderful if the weather is good. Highly recommend!

Great coffee. Great atmosphere. Staff is friend and best service.

My husband had the French toast which wasn’t fresh. It was dry and reheated. I had the huevos rancheros and my tortillas were dry/hard and reheated. Both meals felt like they were reheated in the microwave causing them to be hard and unpalatable. I was expecting more from a Park Ave restaurant :(

Appalled at the service at this establishment which frankly has always been poor and now has reached a new low when the manager escorted 2 Rollins students out for sitting at a table after ordering (and tipping ) at the cashier because they now force you to wait for a server at the table or you can't stay there. The students unknowingly ordered to go -missing the sign and unaware of the recent change - which anyone would also make that mistake. And the only notice you have of this is a small sign on the door. This is completely unacceptable to treat any customer this way. With the various other options available this is one coffee bar I will certainly not be returning to. They have lost 3 local customers and I am sure will lose more. That manager should be ashamed and embarrassed. They have a nice location and am sure they spent a lot to remodel. But their service has always been slow and mediocre at best and now has gotten unimaginably worse.

I used to love this place, customer service was always top tier. Not sure what happened recently but they’re two young female servers and they are beyond rude. I’ve been coming at least twice a week for a long time to eat and drink coffee while getting some work done. Anytime I’ve tried to come lately, neither of them serve me and go back and forth between who’s serving me… yesterday, they did it for about an hour and then when they finally came to take my order, the kitchen was closing. Today, I gave it another try and one girl came to clean up a table I had sat down at and didn’t even acknowledge me. Loved this place but won’t be back until there’s new staff.
