The Old Spanish Sugar Mill
Reviews
Just a peaceful stroll and great breakfast in nature. My fiancee and i went here because we have been wanting to go, the restaurant fills up fast so you may need to get there early. The two types of batter that they have for the pancakes is amazing i recommend the old style one, also if you want you can add fruit, like blueberries and bananas, also the pancakes are all you can eat. And you can go for a swim after in the fresh water fed spring or maybe go kayaking, paddle boating, or even a small tour up river, all the while learning about the history of this wonderful place.
Forget Disney World, The Old Spanish Sugar Mill was the highlight of our family trip to the Orlando area. We went two mornings during our weeklong trip to Deland. Best pancakes we've ever had and the experience of cooking them at our table was tons of fun for the kids, then 4 and 6. The restaurant being set in the park in front of the spring was a bonus, we'll probably bring swim suits when we go back and take a boat tour. We bought some of the pancake mix to take home and make the apple cinnamon walnut pancakes at home. Can't wait to go back!
Wow... what a great way to have breakfast!!! With a super friendly staff!!!
Over-rated, not worth the wait
What a great place to visit. The food, servers and atmosphere is a wonderful experience. I LOVE Florida (including the heat). Fans in the summer and the roaring fireplace in the cooler/coldest months. I've visited different times of the year, swam in the pool, taken the boat ride and paddleboat. Just amazing to me. Half the fun is "cooking" your own pancakes!!! Sorry, Mom, yours never tasted quite so good. Wish I could live there!!!! I recommend it to all my friends.
