Great off-site breakfast/brunch before heading home?

[GEM]

Looking for someplace to have a really nice last late breakfast or brunch before starting our drive home. We won't have park tickets that day and will have already eaten at our favorite Disney places. We want to spend that last morning having a good off-site breakfast or brunch and then doing some outlet mall shopping. Any suggestions? We're three adults. We'd love some great food and a nice atmosphere...not Golden Corral, Ihop, Denny's, etc.. Lol. Thanks!

It's not off-site, but we like to have breakfast at Trails End before we leave. Another alternative is a DTD restaurant, like Earl of Sandwich.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. Those are both great places. Trail's End is a bit of a pain to get to, though, and since we're mostly doing outlet malls that morning, we probably don't want to mess with that one. We do like breakfast at Earl of Sandwhich and at Wolfgang Puck Express, but I guess we were hoping to find someplace we haven't tried before.

I did a search and found some info on Villa de Flora at Gaylord Palms, but the reviews are kind of all over the place. Anybody have any recent experience with that one? I've also heard good things at Keke's Breakfast Cafe. Anyone tried that?

Thanks for all the help!

I am almost sure there is a Bob Evans in Orlando.. we ate there several times.. and the food is AWESOME. I just don't know where it is in the city.

They have THE BEST biscuits and sausage gravy.

Keke's is wonderful! Check online for coupons. Mimi's Cafe also has a pretty good breakfast and lots of specials online. Both are closer to the I Drive outlet that the Vineland outlet.

We had breakfast there during Christmas week 2012. Specifically, we went for the Shrek Feast, which is only held certain days of the week....but we were very impressed. The buffet was the most expansive we've ever seen, and the food was excellent (equal to or better than any Disney breakfast buffet).

Villa de Flora (the yellow building in the first picture below) is locate in the Gaylord Palms atrium, which is worth a visit in itself .









Note that parking costs you extra at Gaylord Palms, but the server will validate your parking pass upon request (nullifying the charges). Just be sure to ask when you settle your bill.

Thanks for all the wonderful information! I'm still torn between Villa de Flora and Keke's. Lol. Guess I'll have to check them both out some more. Mimi's is wonderful...but we have one like a mile from our house that that we go to pretty frequently...so I'd rather have someplace a little different! I apprecaite all the input from everyone.

If it is on a Sunday, the brunch at the Celebration Town Tavern in Celebration is awesome! You can sit outside enjoy the lake, it's great!

Oh that sounds really nice! But it's a Wednesday. Lol. Maybe I should check out the Celebration restaurants again anyway, It's been several years since we were over there. Thanks for the idea!
