Dandelion Communitea Cafe, Orlando

Situated in the heart of Orlando, it is hard to miss this brightly colored urban tearoom that serves an incredible selection of organic teas and vegan dishes. This former bungalow has been converted to a very hip and hippie-influenced work of art. Local artists and bands perform here, and they host many other crucial community events throughout the month. Their menu offers true vegan and vegetarian dishes created from local organic and other high-quality ingredients. The interior is divided into three very multicolored and mismatched groupings of tables and chairs, though many enjoy the pleasant outside seating available. Dandelion Communitea Cafe is more than just a place to eat; it's where people meet, listen to live music, and amiably discuss the latest. - Diane Dilov-Schultheis
