We love this eatery not only for the food but for the location. You and the family can explore the market garden and eat in the open-air food court shared by the other restaurants in the food hall. 

Skyebird Juice Bar and Experimental Kitchen

Black Bean Deli 

1346 N Orange Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789
1835 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32803
If you want authentic Cuban food that tastes slow-cooked but is served fast, you need to run to this cafe. Located on Colonial Drive in Orlando or, at the new location that has evolved from a cool Ventanita in Winter Park to a sleek cafe’ eatery, you will love the sleek design of this cafe’. Offering seating inside or outside, the simplicity of this eatery is great for families.

After you order, you are given a number and the food is bussed to your table (thank you, people, who understand parents with full hands!). Ok, maybe that service was not thought of with us in mind, but we can think so, right? Yes, you will find their signature black beans on the menu, but you will soon find that there is so much more for you and the family to choose from.

The options are fresh and can be paired with a salad and served with their signature avocado dressing so good, that your kids may want to drink it. Meat Empanadas are waiting for you in the case upon your arrival and vegan empanadas are made upon request and are always hot! Families can enjoy the excellent food here anytime as they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner! 

Humble Plant-Based Eats 

1412 Alden Rd, Orlando, FL 32803
Humble has every traditional favorite kid food on its menu. Burgers, pizza, tacos, chicken tenders, ice cream, milkshakes and more! The caveat? it is all 100% plant-based! While they do have a kids’ menu, the options on their main menu are appropriate for the entire family. When eating here, parents can enjoy a healthy meal themselves and rest assured that anything their child selects will nourish their body.

Located at the Hall on the Yard, families get to enjoy a newly opened, upscale full-service food hall. Seating is available inside and outside. Before your meal and after, have fun playing on the Yard! 

Dajen Eats 

323 E Kennedy Blvd suite f, Eatonville, FL 32751
Looking for a healthy food option that will satisfy a palate that appreciates bold flavors? Look no further than Dajen Eats! Entering this vegan eatery, you will soon discover that the food is made with a Jamaican flare. The cafe boasts several build-your-own options, including bowls, salads and even an ice cream sandwich! Yep, they make in-house, from scratch, vegan ice cream!

Feast on one of their “sammiches” if that is not enough. The Identity Crisis is a favorite. Visit the cafe on a day that she is in, and you might hear some vegan culinary stories from Chef Jen herself! The cafe and creamery recently reopened with more of a spacious layout. There are tables to dine in while you enjoy the exuberant and brightly colored atmosphere. There are also tables outside if you choose to enjoy the Florida sunshine and scenery of the oldest Black municipality of Eatonville!
