Barnie’s CoffeeKitchen

The smell of great coffee meets you right at the door. Beautiful place, amazing coffee (way better than Starbucks or any other chain), servers really are here to make sure they find you exactly what you may want. Prices are unbeatable, which was very surprising considering how upscale the whole place looks. Definitely need to stop by.

The location is great, as is the coffee, but the service pales in comparison to the Winter Park location.
I ordered a Tanzanian peaberry (delicious) pour-​over. Pour-​overs take about 5 minutes to prepare so I took a seat. When they brought my coffee I asked for cream and he pointed me across the room to a starbucksesq stand for milk and cream. Small thing, I know, but paying $ 4 + for a cup of coffee it would be nice if they brought a small bit of cream to the table with the coffee like their sister store does. Pour-​overs are very hot so for me to bring my scalding cup o’ joe across the room for cream wasn’t pleasant. Staff was polite, but they also lacked the personalities of the Winter Park location. WP always makes sure I know they value me as a customer. These folks didn’t seem to care one way or another.
I’ll probably give this location another try because of the location and the fact that the coffee is top notch, but if my experience is similar, I shall not be back a third time.

Solid cup of coffee in a nice area.
I wasn’t sure what to expect out of Barnie’s. In the past I have found chain coffee shops to be pretty hit and miss. The quality of the coffee seems to vary from shop to shop. But, the reviews of Barnie’s were pretty consistent so it was time for me to give it a whirl and it wasn’t a let down. The coffee was pretty good and the service was good.
However, the competition among coffee shops here in Orlando is a bit more fierce than I expected when I moved into town. So while I peg this Barnie’s above the average Starbucks, it isn’t quite on the level of a few other local places.
Still, this is a pretty solid bet if you are in the Baldwin Park area and need a cup of coffee. I don’t think you will be let down.

Barnie’s CoffeeKitchen is located in Baldwin Park next door to the Publix, offering inside and outside courtyard seating. Really, you never know who you will meet while enjoying a cuppa and a nice day. The outside courtyard is very pet friendly and servers will bring your drink out to your table.
Pour over coffees are work the extra few minutes for prep, if you aren’t trying to dash out the door. Ask one of the baristas what their favorite blends are for some fun custom pour overs. My recent trip had me ½ caffing a Kenyan full bodied full caff with a lovely decaf for bold, low acidity and slightly fruity cup of joe. Nice selection of teas, coffees, pastries and gift items.

Yes I know, it’s local. Blah blah blah. I purchased a MEDIUM latte for $ 4.28, which is more than I pay for a LARGE latte at «the expensive coffee chain.»
When I ordered my drink, the employee didn’t smile. He didn’t say «hello» or «have a good day.» He didn’t ask my name… and he certainly did not write my name on my cup with a smiley face next to it.
I honestly wish «the other coffee chain» had a location in Baldwin Park. However, I should at least mention that the drink itself was very tasty.

They make a good iced soy latte.
I am disappointed that they seem to have removed all references to the «Barnies Coffee Kitchen coming soon». I am not sure that is going happen here.
I am also disappointed that they do not offer «breakfast» sandwiches in the morning. You can only get baked goods (sweet), bagels, and turkey sandwiches. It would be nice if they had an egg, bacon, and cheese on the menu — or something similar for people who like egg sandwiches in the morning with their coffee.

OMG! Where do I begin!!!
I find myself on a spur of the moment vacation in the Orlando area and having had sub-​par coffee from various so called «coffee» joints within a 75 mile radius for several consecutive days, I was ready to give in… till I stumbled upon Barnies! And boy am I glad I did! Words cannot describe my satisfaction upon that very memorable toe curling first taste! Oh, sweet Barnie, I think I am in loooooove! You had me at «latte»!
It’s not just the coffee, it’s also the personal service that swept me off my feet! From the moment you walk in till the very last drop, it was as if you’ve walked into grandma’s kitchen! Very friendly and knowledgeable staffers who makes it a point to make sure all your needs are met! In addition to the quality of their ingredients, they also provide you with a variety of «condiments» for your coffee needs ranging from agave nectar to Truvia!
The personal pour over is an experience not to be missed! You start off by making a selection from their 50+ coffee menu categorized in three carefully selected categories (comfort, intrigue and robust), pay for your coffee, then step aside and watch the magic happen as they prepare your cup of coffee with their Hario pour over drip method.



Freshly ground coffee measured precisely to the gram, then hand brewed right in front of your very eyes! The resulting coffee is as delicious as the effort put into it! Trust me on this one, I know a thing or two about coffee!
Based on the many reviews and quick tips left on Unilocal,Santa’s White Christmas seems to be a safe option. It had real tiny flakes of coconut in it!
It was good, but it didn’t deliver that pop, kick or oomph I was expecting. Maybe it was an off day?! Or my expectations were a bit high? Not sure, but if you like it, I’ll learn to love it!
If you’re into lattes, they’ve got you covered! With each latte, you have your usual milk (with various fat options, I’m the non-​fat/​skim milk kinda gal) or you have your choice of soy or almond milk. at no extra charge! If you like your lattes with a shot of flavored syrup or sugar free syrup, it’s also complimentary! How awesome is that!!! But wait, it gets better! I know, hard to believe, right? Every latte is delivered fresh to you topped with a beautiful latte art creation!



*sigh with contentment* Could this be puppy love!!! LOL!
In my three separate visits, I’ve had nearly a dozen drinks! Talk about a caffeine overload! The Unilocal check-​in deal of buy of get one free sure came in handy! (Thanks, Unilocal!!) If you do open up shop in the SF bay area, I’m pretty sure you’ll do well, even with the strong competition here with Philz, Blue Bottle, Peet’s etc! Please open up shop here, I would love to rendevous (or perhaps a menage a trois??) with you again… without having to travel 3,000 miles! I especially like this location due to its proximity to goreous Lake Baldwin Park! A leisurely stroll through a beautiful park with a delicious cup (or two) of coffee in hand… what more can a girl ask for? ;)
Let it be known that the happiest place on mother Earth is no longer Disney, MY happiest place in all of Florida? It’s here at Barnie’s… ;)
Barnie, you and I, we had a pretty sweet spring fling! I’ve missed you dearly and you best believe… (Said in my best Schwarzenegger impersonation…) I’ll be back!

Nice. Ready for the new coffee kitchen though.

This is the best Barnie’s I’ve been to, for whatever that is worth. And if you are looking for a coffee and a small breakfast, or well, any breakfast in Baldwin Park, this is pretty much the only game in town. They also have some really good coffee brewing devices and accessories for sale. Recommended when in Baldwin and in need of a coffee boost.

Great place to get together for business!

I have purchased coffee from this location over the past year and each time I go the service is always at their best. Inside and out the overall cleanliness is excellent. It is good to go to a place where you can just relax, enjoy your beverage and let the world go by. This may be the place for you.

Every two weeks we run out of coffee at my house. We drink it like it is going out of style. Knowing my husbands affinity for good coffee (coffee snob), I drive out of my way to Barnie’s Coffee in Baldwin Park to buy 2 lbs. of their amazing coffee. They have a large selection of loose, whole bean coffee from all over the world. While my husband is a fan of Indonesian beans, i like a good flavored coffee from time to time.
In addition to their beans, Barnie’s has standard coffee shop drinks and pastries.
The staff here is friendly and knowledgeable. They go out of their way to make you feel like a valued customer, unlike that other mass produced, over-​saturated coffee shop we all know about.

Love, love, love Barnies coffee! This one is even better than the rest because it’s new and it has a lovely Baldwin Park location. You can sit outside in the courtyard that overlooks a fountain and enjoy the day. The staff was friendly and helpful when I redeemed my Groupons. My Groupon (BOGO 1lb. coffee!) included a cup of their new «Pour Over» brewed coffee *see picture*. You choose any flavor you want, they grind it fresh for you then hand pour hot water over your grounds that are placed into groved glass funnels. You can watch as your coffee drips into a collection glass. This is a new thing for Barnies, and something they are going to be doing more of. It brews the coffee more evenly, resulting in a less bitter cup. It was wonderful!
The only bad news– the shop will be closing during the summer for renovations. They are adding more food options.

I had a meeting there today, it is such a lovely coffee place. I love Barnie’s, but at this location the staff is as nice as can be and the atmosphere is very calm and relaxing. It is very clean there and my Barista was quick to make my drink the way I like it. My Barista even offered to warm up my cookie which tasted so good warm and gooey. Thanks!

Barnie’s, I love you!
Once upon a time a local coffee chain called Barnie’s became the biggest coffee franchise in the US, if not the world. Then, along came Starbuckles which gobbled up everything in its path.
Apologies to the Starbucks fans, but I’m not one of you. It’s a badge of honor to me that I’ve never been in a Starbucks coffee house. I’ve had their coffee, which is why I’ve never gone there. Bitter to the taste and bitter going down. What’s to like?
Today, I hit a Barnie’s I haven’t been to before, for some Christmas shopping. It was at Baldwin Park next to Publix, and it’s one of the nicest I’ve ever run across. The place was buzzing with activity, but the staff was attentive, helpful, patient and friendly. This isn’t in my hood, but I will be back fo sho!

Awesome Barnies! It is a huge location with seating inside and out. The staff is always friendly, and they make the best Chai Latte in town!

It’s a great thing Barnies made a comeback in the Central Florida area and this store has to be one of the reasons it’s still a favorite. If you visit in the morning you have to try the Sausage Egg and Cheese on Ciabatta sandwich with a cup of coffee (Santa’s White Christmas).
The staff goes out of their way to provide great service and the store layout is inviting with a nice Flat Screen TV to watch the news and enjoy breakfast. Outside seating is available if you prefer the view of Baldwin Park Stores and Shoppes.
They feature a very nice variety of Coffee of the Day flavors for you to indulge, and has caused me to order a few surprisingly good bags of Coffee Beans. They have great IceTea/​Lemonade drinks to try also.(Barnie Palmer)

I found it! I found it!
Tell EVERYONE!
I have found the official hangover cure:
1 20 oz Triple Vanilla Mocha
1 Birthday Cake Chocolate Truffle
Just had to let you know that Barnies pretty much saved my Sunday today ;o) Me and one of my girls spent the morning catching up here and it was a lovely start to the day. This is by far my most favorite Barnies. The inside is huge and they have tons of seating. They also have a really nice bar with a TV.
It is in the center of Baldwin park which is a great location and within walking distance to pretty much everything!

It seems Barnies Coffee & Tea has closed its stores in all of Miami and South Florida! This is sooo hard for me to grasp! They claimed the rent was outrageous in Miami, and Starbucks was willing to pay the hefty leasing dollars!!! Dam u Starbucks! (jk) ;-) I am happy I work in Orlando and Central Florida to enjoy Barnies Tea locally!

A nice place to chill out, have either coffee, tea, wine or beer. It’s a nice stop after dinner somewhere in Baldwin Park. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and sometimes live music. Oh, and they have Abita beer!
It’s a good place to bring the teetotalers when you want something stronger.
