There's definitely a reason why this place is five stars! The food is delicious and the prices are phenomenal. The owner is absolutely delightful and told me that he wants to keep prices affordables that everyone has the opportunity to taste real vegan food. I was only in town for a couple of days but both days I went there and tried as many things as I could. I got a decaf mocha that is made from scratch! That's hard to find! The empanadas are delicious. I also had a jackfruit quesadilla that was amazing. The smoothies are great. In the location is also fabulous! Right in town and in a building with other stores. It's definitely a great experience! Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you for creating the space for us plant-based folks and also others who are curious 💞

My favorite place in downtown to grab a coffee and a little bite to eat! Delicious strong coffee & everything I’ve had to eat here is so yummy! The owners are wonderful people, too. May God bless them, their business, and all their customers 🙏 I only wish they were open earlier in the day so I could get my coffee from them every time 🙂

Dark and light Café has quickly become one of my favorite spots in downtown Mount Dora. The walnut ginger salad is a standout- fresh, perfectly balanced and bursting with flavor. Every dish I’ve tried has been consistently delicious made with care and fresh ingredients. The owners are warm and welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. I highly recommend!

This was a great find. Good food. Lots of variety and options. The salad was good and we loved the Pretzel Portobello. What it lacked in ambience they made up for in the food. We will be back!

Highly recommend!! We enjoyed our time there. The food is AMAZING with fresh ingredients, flavorful and so many options. Reasonably priced for location and highly quality. The yucca bits are like clouds in your mouth. We loved the lentil burger and the nachos. Make sure you get their craft soda to wash down all the goodness. They even have sweet treats that are vegan and gluten free. The service was the best ! Friendly staff. We will definitely be back. THANK YOU Dark and Light Cafe.
