Se7en Bites

This review will probably get lost in the sea of reviews so I won’t write a novel, and believe me, this place was so good, I easily could. Here’s the main points:
1. It’s small, so if you’re coming on the weekend be prepared to get it to go or eat outside. We waited in line for 20 minutes and we arrived at 9am when they opened.
2. Service was absolutely exceptional. They are concise, friendly, and accurate.
3. They season their food so well, it makes it stand out against other breakfast spots life KeKes, First Watch, and White Wolf.
4. I’ve lived in Orlando for 26 years, this is the best breakfast I’ve ever had here. A must try!

I’m not sure how many people reading this watch Portlandia, but there’s an episode called Brunch Village where several of the characters camp out at a local hot spot before it opens in an attempt to eat their famous marionberry pancakes. After several ordeals and an eternity in line, one of the couples finally make it inside and they are blown away by the food. More or less, I feel that is an accurate representation of visiting Se7en Bites.
If you’re crunched for time and looking to grab something, let me save you the trouble and tell you this is not the place for you. If you have nowhere to be and want quality breakfast, brunch, lunch, and bakery items, look no further; it doesn’t get better than this in Orlando.
After fighting for a parking space and getting in line outside of the building, we started drooling over the blackboard menu. This is a place where everything sounds good. We waited in line for a good twenty to thirty minutes before reaching the counter and, after a lot of deliberating, I chose the Hunka Hunka Burning Love and my wife chose the Breakfast Bread Pudding, and we both got a Nutella Turbo to drink, which is exactly what it sounds like: pure bliss.
The food came out quickly and did not disappoint. The Hunka Hunk was comprised of pulled pork, a fried egg, and pimento cheese, sandwiched between Belgian waffles with hollandaise sauce and peppers — I feel like I’m missing something, too. I’m not exactly sure what was in Breakfast Bread Pudding beyond eggs, mushrooms, cheese, and the usual suspects, but it was mighty fine as well.
Our friend decided to spring for a Crack Pie for us to split and it tasted like a blonde brownie with a graham cracker crust. Having that was the little push I needed to go into a food coma for the half of the afternoon.
One experience is all it took. Se7en Bites is officially my breakfast spot.

One of the most amazing brunches I have ever had in a really long time! The 7 trimester is the most amazing thing ever! It is basically all the comfort food/​deliciousness that you could ever want for brunch. Also got one of their sandwiches which was super filling. On the weekends, They make a turbo coffee which is simply delicious! The line can be a bit long, but they move everything along very quickly. There is also outdoor seating. They have a bunch of specials that are written by the cash register, and offered both breakfast and lunch selections! I will definitely be coming back!

Fresh food and baked goods
They have the most amazing BEEF sandwich with gravy dip.
Fresh sides and the best Not so thin, thin mint cookies.
Girl scouts are going to be forgotten about when you try these cookies.

Go on a Thursday or Friday and have the pot pie
I really needn’t say more…
Other than your welcome.
Yes it’s that insane.

After reading all the reviews and following on Unilocal and FB I had to go for a try bot once but twice lol.
All together we had the 7^th Trimester, Love it! Probably my fave so far. The combination of mac&cheese, biscuit, egg, ect… Yum! Ice coffee, Southern, it was really good. I didn’t know I like grits until I had this breakfast. Chicken pot pie, it was so creamy and good, nice crust. The southern Cuban was great it had that southern twist which made it a bit different than a regular cuban sandwhich.

Almond Joy whoopie pie, didn’t really taste like almond joy but it was very good. The chocolate pecan salted caramel pie was SOOO GOOD, OH MY GOSH. LOVE IT! The chocolate cake was huge and moist and cholately and awesome. The agua fresca was refreshing. Overall, the place is a bit pricey, $ can add up very quickly and easily (they have toi many great things. However, the quality and flavors make it worth it. I can’t wait to go back.

Se7en Bites is a popular place in Orlando. The place is jammed packed. The menu is southern death by heart attack on a plate (in a good way.) Food aside, the staff could be a little nicer. If you don’t want people to sit down before they order, please post a much bigger sign. I had been waiting to try SB for a long time, but it was always packed and with a child it made it tough to find a seat. I was not aware of the rule and was scolded by a staff member for sitting at a table with my baby before I ordered. However scolding aside, the food is great and filling. Everything is homemade. The desserts are great to take home.

If I give a business 5 stars that doesn’t serve Diet Coke then you know
I am for real.
This place is maybe my favorite new place. Breakfast place for certain.
I had an amazing egg & pimento cheese biscuit and I’ve been thinking all day about how to go back before we go back to Michigan.
I also got a bag full of sweets. I tried lots of bites of the kids stuff and they were all good. But if you want to taste what easily may become your favorite dessert of all time, the dark chocolate pecan pie… oh wow.
Great service. Great food. Can’t go wrong here.

I honestly have no idea why THIS SPOT WOULD EVER have less than 5 stars. Se7en Bites is scrumptious from beginning to end. The outside of the building males yoy want to go in. And the hum of customers eating while yoy wait in line builds up the excitement. Also, the dessert case does, too!
First, you must get the Turbo, which is am iced coffee drink that has NUTELLA in it. The proprietor of this place is an ABSOLUTE BEAST. The iced tea with orange blossom is also delicious. Try it all.
The biscuits and gravy will knock your socks off, and ruin you for gravy forever, in that if it’s not Trina’s (the owner), it’s NOTHING AT ALL. My partner and I are super picky about our eggs, and they have come out perfect every time without having to go into an in depth conversation.
The décor is eye catching with straight lines. The portions are solid.
Onto dessert. You cannot lose. I am not a huge chocolate person but damn it if I don’t love Trina’s chocolate desserts! But that Pistachio cream pie. And that oatmeal cream pie. And the banana cream pie! Moon pies! All of it!
Next time I go back in will update my review and be more articulate. But just go visit Se7en Bites. You will not regret it. In fact, we want to hire Se7en Bites to cater our wedding! Can you imagine?!

Absolutely amazing food! I had the basic eggs Benedict. Someone I was with had the special shrimp/​crab cake version. And we had a to-​go order of the 7^th trimester Benedict. All were AMAZING! I was sad to see the oatmeal cream cookie was sold out, but it was happily replaced with an order of maple bacon salted caramel cups and a hazelnut chocolate pudding cup.
Staff are friendly. Lots of parking, but space inside is tight. So come early, or be prepared to take it with you! Multiple thumbs up on this Orlando gem!
Side note: marshmallow coffee with mocha coffee makes a s’mores coffee! yum! And everyone else loves the grits… I thought they were a little too garlic-​y.

I have been wanting to try this place for a couple of weeks after seeing the stellar reviews on Unilocal,so i dragged my boyfriend out on Sunday morning to see what the hype was about.
I knew that there would be limited seating based on the reviews I had read previously, but when I walked in to see every table taken and a decent line forming, I was almost positive I would be standing in the corner with my breakfast. Well, I was downright wrong. As if Merlin himself had waved his magic wand, the tables cleared one-​by-​one as we moved in the line. Im not sure how this perfect timing happened, but it seemed to be that no one ever actually waited for a table.
Which brings me to the one thing I disliked about Se7en Bites. From start to finish, we were at the restaurant for 20 minutes… tops. The line moved quickly, the food was served immediately (generally not a downside, but hear me out). We ate and, out of courtesy for other diners, left our table as soon as we were done eating. We joked afterward that we paid $ 2.00/minute to eat there. This place is not a relaxing brunch spot where you can sip coffee for an hour and shoot the breeze with a few friends, which is typically what I look for in a brunch spot. I can see how this would be a positive too. It just depends on the experience you’re looking for.
With that being said: every other aspect of this experience was AWESOME. We both ordered the Se7en Benedict with potatoes and orange juice. The benedict was like nothing I have ever had before. The biscuit was moist and warm, bacon was crispy (the only way bacon should be), the egg was perfectly fried. It was a good hearty breakfast that I was unable to finish. The orange juice is FRESH… from an actual, real orange. That is a lost art that I appreciated to the fullest extent. Next time I come here, I want to order the Voodoo bowl. Looks pretty amazing!
The staff here is on point! All the girls are friendly, and they keep the place immaculate, dessert displays are beautiful, customers are happy, and as I said earlier: the food comes out fast! They work hard to make this place a success and it shows through the way they run their business.
I will be back for that Voodoo bowl and some more of that OJ from orange tree heaven.

Such a great place for brunch or baked goods. If you are a fan of breakfast biscuits you simply cannot go wrong getting one of their many biscuit options, smothered in grits with sides of bacon and sausage.
I can’ wait until their largest spot opens down the street so there is less waiting for a table and more feasting.

I finally made it over to Seven Bites! I have been driving by it for years on my way to work and always admire the lines and the smell! The day that I went to try it, I had their quiche, which was flaky, airy and delish! I only wish that the balsamic vinegar was on the side and not on top of the quiche, the menu didn’t state that it was so. If you are not a fan of balsamic vinaigrette, don’t forget to ask for it on the side.
Service was quick and friendly, I lived everyone’s smiling face and the welcoming southern feel of the place.
I can’t wait to go back and take my kids there! They will love the home garden feel and the freshness of it. The only thing missing was a good selection is fresh, natural fruit juices and coffee/​tea/​espresso beverages.
Over all very good, fresh, clean and delish! I am definetely going back to it!

A local friend recommended this place as a good meet up place to eat breakfast and so 3 of us headed here on a cloudy Florida Saturday morning. I could instantly feel the appeal of the place with its cozy, breezy atmosphere and a huge cheeky sign about filling up a hole :-)
Inside the place is modern southern and manages to effortless vibe both trendy and cozy. A staff member was with us instantly as soon as we walked in, and directed us to the menu which is written on chalkboards behind the counter, and was easy to see. As we were unsure what to order as this was our first visit, she also handed us paper menus so we didn’t feel rushed.
I finally made my decision to get a dish called 3 little pigs (because you really can’t go wrong with too much bacon, ever, and I like my food to have meaning and thought the reference to the classic children’s tale was adorable). My brother got a weekly special of Creole Andouille Benedict with hollandaise on the side and then our 3^rd friend got a Hopping John with stewed spicy Okra and Corn Pudding Spoon Bread.
To be honest, the pimento cheese in my biscuit really threw me off and I got a tartiness from the cheese when all I was expecting was the round smoothness of the biscuit and gravy combination. This was really not that great a taste profile for me, personally. But the other two dishes were just superb in comparison. My brother’s egg yolk was a rich vibrant yellow and complemented the texture/​flavors of the Andouille sausage biscuit perfectly. I do think our 3^rd friend made the best choice tho — that Okra and the black-​eyed beans mash smelt and tasted heavenly. Also a big fan of the Cheddar Chive Grits and they warmed up nicely the next day — wish there had been fresh pepper bottles on the tables outside tho’ as I added that for a nice warm finish when at home eating the leftovers. Also loved the trays that the food was served in!
I totally want to come back, but definitely will try something else this time, as at least have discovered that the 3 Little Pigs is not to my personal taste preference!

Really? I haven’t reviewed Se7en Bites? The shame!
What can I say about this lovely little breakfast shop? Rich, the food is rich! SB has an interesting sweet and savory combination. Most of their breakfast dishes are rich in herbs and at times salty so it only makes sense to have a divine selection of baked goods.
Today I ordered the bacon and egg biscuit and it lived up to my expectations. The biscuit was so flavorful all on its own, I could have eaten it plain. On it was pimento cheese, an over easy egg, and 2 perfectly cooked pieces of bacon. It was so filling I couldn’t even finish it. It seems they put the pimento cheese on almost everything so ask before you order if that’s not your favorite topping.
I really wanted to order dessert but I’m attempting to practice self control. However I tried their «crack pie» recently and it was… a taste of heaven. Thank God they didn’t have it in supply today because my self control would have went out the window.
Take a trip to Se7en Bites, you won’t be disappointed.

A real Orlando gem. Delicious food, creative menu, lots of charm. The staff is lovely — my order was a little strange (sausage and egg biscuit, hold the egg) and the cashier didn’t bat an eye. In fact, she offered to ring it up in a different way so that I didn’t have to pay for the egg I wasn’t eating. Nice!
The seating area is tiny — I can’t wait for their new location. Until then, go early before the hungry crowds descend!

4.5 stars for a fabulous brunch experience in a cool part of town.
After seeing photos of the 7^th Trimester (a mac’n cheese covered egg benedict), I knew I had to come here. The parking lot is tiny and was pretty packed, but people rolled out fairly promptly and finding a spot ending up not being that hard.
The building is tiny and brightly colored with a cute tiny patio out front. To order, you stand in a line in front of the counter and then find your seat. You are not allowed to save seats until after you’ve ordered.
The menu is not overly large, but it still has plenty of options. I only looked at the breakfast side because I am a brunch person. However, I’d like to try their other offerings in the future. We ended up ordering the 7^th Trimester and the Seven Benedict.
The 7^th Trimester was fun but not great. I wouldn’t order it again. However, the Seven Benedict was amazing. The dessert case looked great, but my husband was underwhelmed by the mini-​cheesecake he purchased.
Overall, this is a great brunch spot that will leaving you happy and craving a nap.

Wow… what a great experience! Some fellow Unilocalers recommended this spot so we ventured out to try them this morning. Holy epicness! Delicious! So many choices but from the reviews I knew I had to try the biscuits and the grits. So I opted for the Denver bowl with a side of grits and this meal delivered. The denver bowl. was huge! Plenty of food, so much so I took half of it home. And the grits… ugh so good! Didn’t order dessert because the line was out the door but I’ll for sure be back!
Side note, seating is limited but the food is oh so yummy! Way better than your usual run of the mill breakfast spots and the prices are reasonable considering what you get and the quality of food. Real eggs vs the stuff out of the container. Prices are about $ 9 – 12 a plate.

I had high expectations from se7en bites as I had heard great reviews but unfortunately a little disappointment with our experience. The building itself is quaint with indoor and outdoor seating.
Let’s start with the good: butternut squash and goat cheese quiche was excellent! I thought I would try something new and the quiche had chunks of butternut squash and the goat cheese wasn’t over powering. Had a good soft layered texture to the crust. The balsamic dressing that comes with the side salad was very tart. I would recommend getting the dressing on the side.
What could be better: the gravy on the biscuits and gravy was too salty and was more on the cold /​lukewarm side.
Dessert: we loved the dessert spread but was disappointment that the dessert was a bit bland. The Santa mint cookie could have used more mint. We barely tasted any mint. And even though I don’t like overly sweet stuff, the Swiss roll didn’t seem very sweet.
It is a bit pricey for breakfast/​brunch but I’m glad I tried it. I would give it another chance if the opportunity arises but I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat breakfast there.

Food:5 stars, Seating arrangement: 3 stars.
We were in town for Halloween Horror Nights and had found this darling little breakfast place through Unilocal on a Sunday morning. We were an average sized party for your typical dining establishment but a big party for Se7en Bites, considering you have to squeeze in where you can. The line wrapped around the corner and we saw a girl with a dog saving a table while her friend, partner, whatever, stood in line. Since we were a large party we decided to try and do the same but WE (not her) were told we could not. Now, y’all best believe if we are spending $ 100+ on breakfast that it would involve at least sitting down and having breakfast together. I think the lady with the red hair was so sweet though, there was this one girl who had a slice of cake and spent over an hour just picking at it but she couldn’t get her to leave. Girl, in Miami they would’ve told you that ya gots to go!
We ended up ordering three of the 7^th trimesters, and a couple of the waffles with bacon. For dessert, we ordered a moon pie, two huge slices of the pride cake and a Nutella banana bread pudding. The trimester was oustanding. The pasta was cheesy and warm, not to mention a taste bomb when coupled with the bacon and biscuit. The best part was drizzling some egg yolk all over your soft biscuit, and warm, cheesy pasta (food porn at its finest). The Nutella banana bread pudding was also five stars. I was actually standing outside with it when I saw people in line talking about it and one girl came back outside to ask me what it was. It has more of a banana taste than a chocolate one but the warm banana slices up top were a nice touch after having the trimester, not to mention the bread pudding was still warm and fluffy.
I did enjoy the food at Se7en Bites but when we got our food and there was no place to sit, we had to have them box it up and we proceeded to eat it in our car. Not something I wanted to do for brunch while on vacation but you gotta do what you gotta do. I don’t think I’ll be back because of this reason but I’m glad I was able to experience a bit of the Se7en Bites experience.
