CFS Coffee Dr. Phillips is a beloved local café situated in the Dr. Phillips neighborhood of Orlando, Florida. The space is modern yet cozy, with exposed brick, warm wood accents, and ample seating for both solo visitors and groups. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee fills the air as baristas craft pour-overs, lattes, and espresso drinks with precision. What sets CFS apart is its commitment to direct-trade beans and small-batch roasting, resulting in a menu that changes seasonally. Beyond coffee, you'll find a selection of pastries and light bites sourced from local bakeries. The café also offers a retail section where you can buy beans to brew at home. It's a popular spot for remote workers and coffee enthusiasts alike, with a friendly staff eager to discuss the origins of each brew.

  • Try the seasonal single-origin pour-over for a taste of the roaster's latest selection.
  • Order a signature latte, such as the honey lavender or vanilla bourbon.
  • Browse the retail wall for whole beans and brewing equipment.
  • Relax on the outdoor patio, a quiet spot perfect for people-watching.
