Audubon Park Garden District

The story

Audubon Park is a locally owned Main Street district between Winter Park, Leu Gardens and downtown. The shopping runs along Corrine Dr from Palmer's Garden & Goods (2611) east to East End Market (3201), crossing Winter Park Rd, with a little more on E Winter Park Rd near Corrine.

East End Market, a food hall, is the center, and many of the shops are inside it or across the street. The rest is a short run of record, vintage and garden shops. It suits food-first browsing and anyone hunting vinyl, vintage or Florida-made gifts.

What to Expect

Inside East End Market, Lineage Coffee Roasting pours lattes with in-house pastries, Gideon's Bakehouse sells nearly one-pound cookies, La Femme du Fromage has cheese and charcuterie, and Hinckley's Fancy Meats makes sandwiches and salads. Freehand Goods stocks work by Florida makers: leather goods, candles, prints, pottery and stickers. On the second floor, Carla Poma Jewelry makes permanent jewelry while you wait.

Along Corrine, The Owl's Attic (3106) was voted Orlando Weekly's Best Antique Store for 2026, and Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream (3114) makes flavors like Banana Pudding and Mexican Hot Chocolate. Heading west, Park Ave CDs (2916), open since 1984, sells new and used CDs and LPs, The Lovely Boutique Market (2906) gathers 30-plus vendors of vintage clothing and mid-century pieces, and Hellcats USA (2822) sells its own skeleton-themed tees, hats and pins. Palmer's Garden & Goods (2611) is a plant shop with flowers and fountains.

Best Time to Visit

None of the shops posted hours on the pages checked, so call ahead. Gideon's often sells out, so earlier is better. The Audubon Community Night Market runs Mondays 5 to 8pm at 1842 E Winter Park Rd, with local produce. Camellias bloom at Leu Gardens from October through March, a good reason to add a picnic.

If You Only Have an Hour

Start with coffee at Lineage in East End Market, then go up to Carla Poma on the second floor and back down to Freehand Goods. Cross the street to Park Ave CDs and The Owl's Attic, and finish with a scoop at Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream.

Where to Eat

Domu (East End Market, #100) is first come, first served; the Tokyo ramen with shoyu chicken broth and fried chicken thigh is the pick. The Domu team also runs Gyukatsu Rose on the market's first floor, where you finish a breaded beef cutlet on a personal grill (reservations advised). Coro serves a shared-plates menu that changes often, and Kadence is an eight-seat counter for sashimi and nigiri with a strong sake list.
