Ace Cafe Brings British Motor‑Themed Dining to Orlando's Downtown

London’s iconic Ace Cafe has opened its doors in downtown Orlando.

Looking for a fresh culinary experience in Orlando? Get ready to rock‑and‑roll. While the city is unveiling new theme‑park attractions this summer, Ace Cafe Orlando – the renowned London‑based, motor‑themed café – has joined the downtown scene.

The original Ace Cafe, a haven for petrolheads and rockers since 1938, has featured in British TV shows and films, from Top Gear to Freebird. The new Orlando location is the first in North America, yet it stays true to the original spirit: a full‑throttle destination for dining, entertainment and retail.

What’s on the Menu?

The menu blends classic American diner fare with British favorites and locally sourced, green options. Dishes are crafted from scratch and reflect the authentic flavors of the country’s best diners and back‑road joints. Highlights include the Marinated Grilled Skirt Steak served with fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes.

Live Music & Events

With its rock‑and‑roll vibe, the café hosts live musical acts and special events every month. From classic rock and blues to country, oldies and acoustic performances, there’s always something exciting happening at Ace.

Wake‑Up and Wind‑Down

The coffee bar opens at 7 a.m. each day, serving classic breakfast brews. For those craving something extra, the café offers a selection of hot‑ and cold‑pressed spiked coffees and spiked milkshakes, available all day. On weekends, the doors stay open until 2 a.m.

Décor & Shops

Step inside and be transported to motor‑enthusiast heaven. Two stories of themed décor feature photographs of famous motorsports stars and real motorcycles spanning the decades. A souvenir shop and gallery await.

Visit the Stonebridge Motor Gallery for rotating displays of original motorsports, rock‑and‑roll artwork, sculptures and memorabilia. The Rockers Speed Shop offers Ace‑branded gear and apparel. Additional retail options include Dainese D‑Store, the renowned Italian riding‑gear brand, and the BMW motorcycle dealer and EagleRider rental services.
