Delish NY Bakery

The tourist attractions of Orlando, Florida not only attract the tourists, they also bring in the quick and easy processed food buffets that can bore the mildest of the foodies out there. The Sizzlers, Shoney’s and the Golden Corrals of the world all find a home on International Drive in ‘O Town’. Of course you do have the opportunity to eat at your choice of any of the fast food places too. The only real benefit of a visit to any of the before mentioned places is possibly the price. I mean…a buffet for under 5 bucks is eye catching to say the least. 

Now, for those of us who do enjoy a break away from the troughs then you should (first off) stay away from International Drive. If you like the idea of a mom n’ pop place with real food, you will like DELISH on Turkey Lake Road, just a stones throw from ‘I Drive’. A mom n’ pop place can also be a husband and wife place too. Laura and Scott Stein are the owners and operators of this bakery. Even though not all the items are made on site, you will still be impressed by the variety of bakery items and of the real New York bakery feel. Laura and Scott were very close to becoming doctors when they made the decision to move to Orlando and start a bakery. I, for one, am glad they did.

It was mid morning when we were en route to see the ducks at The Peabody. (If you do not know about the ducks at The Peabody then you should look that up). The thought crossed our mind of a $4.99 breakfast buffet but were not interested in that, not at all. When we visit out of town places we like to take a chance and find someplace like DELISH. When I walked in and approached the counter, I was a little frustrated with the fact that the bagels were not made on site. They are however freshly made in New York and then shipped to Florida for the final touches and last process to be ready for sale.

Blueberry Bagel

I decided to order a blueberry bagel, toasted, with butter on it. Also, my eyes were fixed upon the cheese Danishes. One of these would also be on my plate for me to enjoy. Before you decide to eat a ‘big breakfast’ here, you should know that they focus on being a bakery. The mistake I made was wanting an omelet when I walked in the door. Laura kindly told me that DELISH did not have a fryer or a grill. They do offer eggs, but they are pre-made refrigerated patties. My personal suggestion would be to get a microwave for scrambled fresh eggs. But I was plenty satisfied with the blueberry bagel and the cheese Danish. The owners let me know that the bagels are not made from scratch (at least not on site). They order them from a bakery in New York and then bake them in Orlando. On the surface, this does not sound appetizing. But I would like to let you know that the food is very good. You should know that DELISH does offer many items that are homemade such as all of the cookies, cakes, as well as the egg and chicken salads. DELISH also offers various fresh whipped cream cheeses including veggie, plain, lox spread, and a reduced fat version. If you want to top your bagel with peanut butter and jelly, the Steins give you that option as well. These guys also offer catering with bagels and spreads, pastry platters and coffee carriers. You can also get several flavors of Italian ice here too.

Tasty Cheese Danish

Now I am aware that we spent more money by going to DELISH than if we had gone to one of the chains just blocks away. But when visiting Orlando’s park area I would personally recommend either a bagel, pastry, maybe egg or chicken salad. As we were leaving there was a young man all of 5 years old that wanted to let us know that his mom was taking him to the cookie store. It looks to me that DELISH is starting a local tradition in the community.
