This is Spilling the Beans, where plugged-in baristas give us the lowdown on where to go, what to do, and what to eat (and drink) in their hometown.

Jarrett Johnson of Lineage Coffee landed in Orlando with big dreams of brewing beer. But Orlando didn't need beer, so he shifted gears to roasting and brewing coffee instead. Now, his roaster and shop, Lineage Coffee, is Orlando's best. It's part of a growing community of chefs and restaurateurs putting their mark on a city that just wants people to stop thinking about it in relation to Disney World. According to Johnson, the good stuff—pho, chorizo burritos, nearby natural springs, and the city's art scene—has nothing to do with the nearby themepark. Let him be your guide.

Where should we stay?

Get an Airbnb in Audubon Park. It’s right where our coffee shop is, and it’s a hip, up-and-coming neighborhood. Otherwise, try College Park, another neighborhood.

Where should we grab breakfast?

For brunch, I’d go to Briarpatch, a cool little spot in the ritzy part of town with great fruit waffles. For weekday breakfast, White Wolf Cafe is the move. It’s edgy and slightly divey, with cocktails at night. Farm and Haus is another good option; it’s inside of the market where our retail shop is, and I love their chorizo burrito. They make the chorizo in house.

Best cups of coffee in town?

Apart from Lineage, I like a cocktail-coffee bar called Vespr that uses our beans.

The best place to see great art?

There are a few artists painting amazing murals all over town. That’s a big thing here, and you’ll see them when you’re driving around. Mills 50 is a cool place for art, too. Plus, there are a couple of good galleries downtown—like Redefine Gallery. He’s inside of the CityArts Factory downtown and features a new artist every month. People walk around with wine to see the new exhibits on the first Thursday of every month.
