**INITIAL REVIEW**
While on a weekend vacation to Orlando to celebrate my stepdad's birthday, my sister who lived in Orlando for a good portion of her life, even longer than I have, suggested a breakfast/brunch place she's heard of while we were out and about for the day. Given the fact I am a connoisseur of breakfast/brunch places, I had to second her suggestion. Ergo, my family and I got to try out Moma's Cafe with this being my very first time eating here.
Though an address is provided, Moma's Cafe (which I will shorthand simply to Moma's) is located in The District, an apartment complex on Universal Blvd. in Orlando. Just like some traditional malls, this apartment complex is incorporating the hybrid commercial/residential setup in which the first one or two floors are for commerce while the higher-up floors are for residential.
First and foremost, the parking situation can be confusing. The parking lot in front of Moma's is limited and only has one way in, one way out. Ergo, if it is full, most people will have to park in the parking garage located within the complex. Take note there is a "walk-thru" from the parking garage through the apartment complex to the storefront area where most people will enter commerce businesses, including Moma's. Just follow the signs from the garage and you'll find your way.
Though there are some outdoor seating available, the restaurant's minimal indoor seating suggests it gets its majority of business through pickup, takeout, and/or delivery. However, the interior is quite cozy despite being quite a space to work with. Prior to ordering, you can view the physical menu or scan a QR code for a digital menu complete with pictures of said food. Moma's also has a nice selection of pre-made and baked goods, some of them being keto-friendly.
After taking our order, we found a table that was somewhat close to the water refill station. Eventually, our food arrived and I have to say, very simplistic in nature but good nevertheless. My family ordered French Toast, an omelette known as "Greek Glory". a full breakfast known as the Southern Hearty, and the Breakfast Club sandwich. I ordered the Tex-Mex Chicken ScramBowl (hodgepodge word of scramble and bowl) and Chicken and Cheese Stuffed Avocado.
**DETAILS OF MENU ITEMS IN PICTURES**
The food was absolutely delicious. For me, the two food menu items I got were very filling. That is a big deal for me as I am searching for very high-volume foods with low calories. Take notice I said "very" at the end of high-volume. Ergo, think of 1000 grams or more but less than 500 calories altogether. Better if less than 300 calories.
And on a sidenote, the restrooms were cleaned and well-stocked. Nothing out of the ordinary or over-the-top, as it served its purpose without any disgust.
Ultimately, I am going to give Moma's an initial rating of 4 out of 5 stars. Excellent food, excellent prices, and friendly service. Only "issue" is that the food did take longer to make compared to other breakfast/brunch restaurants or mom n' pop restaurants. But who's ever been perfect, right?
I know I will be back sometime in the future, and if they are consistent, let's say two more times at least, I'll give Moma's their fifth star for consistency in an updated review.
