Framework Craft Coffee House brings a dose of creativity to Orlando's Mills 50 neighborhood, a hub of indie shops and restaurants. The café's interior is a blend of industrial and bohemian, with exposed pipes, colorful murals, and mismatched furniture that gives it a lived-in feel. The menu goes beyond standard coffee: think lavender honey lattes, turmeric lattes, and seasonal specials like pumpkin spice cold brew. They also serve tea, smoothies, and a variety of pastries and light bites from local vendors. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, happy to explain the origins of their beans. What sets Framework apart is its commitment to community, it hosts art shows, open mic nights, and local artist pop-ups. The outdoor patio is a popular spot for relaxing with a book or chatting with friends. It's a place where coffee and culture intersect.

Don't miss

  • Try the signature lavender honey latte for a floral twist

  • Relax on the back patio, which features string lights and a garden vibe
  • Attend an open mic night (check their schedule) for live performances
  • Grab a bag of their house-roasted beans to take home
