I Love Orlando Cafe, a new independent establishment, will be opening at 151 E Washington St, just west of Lake Eola. 

“We’re going to be a cafe,” owner Joseph Aintabi tells What Now Orlando. “We’re going to be selling hot dogs, breakfast food, coffee, smoothies, beer, wine and mimosas.”  

When asked about his rationale for naming the café “I Love Orlando”, Mr. Aintabi points to his years residing in the city.

“We’ve been living in downtown Orlando for the past 15-20 years and I really love Orlando.” 

Mr. Aintabi is eager to add that they will be installing a large “I Love Orlando” sign just outside of the café.

“We decided to work with the city to get a big sign with the title of our name!” 

When I Love Orlando Café finally opens, readers will be able to drop in between 8am-10pm and choose either indoor or outdoor seating. Per Aintabi, the restaurant will be “opening up in the next 90 days.”
