I had never been here & wish it wasn't so hot the day we visited as it is a great town to walk around touring! We could walk along the lake & through town where there are a few shops to explore. They have a couple cute coffee shops and several craft brewery places! They have the nices dog park I have seen so far in Florida! Several cute dogs were enjoying the amenities! I would definitely like to go back in the Fall with either our bikes to explore or even walking! Worth the drive to check out! I love that this lake will eventually lead to the inter coastal.
Charming and chill. It is almost surreal how uncorrupted downtown Sanford is by generic corporations. Chain fast food joints and sterile cookie cutter architecture are killing America’s once vibrant style. Fortunately, the historic (which in this case actually means historic and is not code for rundown) downtown of the awesomely Floridian Sanford exists and is thriving. Between the natural beauty of Lake Monroe, restaurants and shops galore, and culture everywhere you look, there is almost too much fun to be had in such a deceptively small place.
Nice area with a good selection of restaurants and venues in historic buildings. Ample parking for a historic area and easy walking.
The food truck scene here is amazing. It’s a culinary heaven for some and provides excellent unique scenery for photographers. Walking along the waterfront was such a therapeutic experience after devouring some good stuffs from the food truck. Witnessing anglers having beers on the dockside after a catch-release session can change your perspective on life.
Demographics here on a given Saturday morning/afternoon are somewhat different from the Winter Garden’s and similar to that of Lake Eola’s; ethnically diverse, singles, less kids. So the food selection exactly reflects this demographic; more adventurous, bold with flavors.
It seems they are many competent eateries around the downtown. I will definitely come back to try non-truck restaurants next time!

I always love coming to historic downtown Sanford, especially in the colder months or to see Christmas lights on the historic housing. Lots of great restaurants, breweries and shops.
We were in for our daughter's wedding this past weekend. Every visit we find new things to do and shops to visit. I wish we weren't 10 hours away. This would be a great town to retire in.
A pleasant surprise how Historic Downtown Sanford has changed for the best keeping that small town with old good looking buildings. It looks alive and renewed. Lots of local businesses, museum, places to eat. Safe, clean streets, family friendly, plenty street parking.
If you have the opportunity to visit, don’t delay! We went to the Arts Festival and discovered so much to eat, shop, see, do! The Hollerbach German restaurant was a great place to take a break. 🥨
Was going to dine at the famous German restaurant but saw the food trucks gathering. There are about 30-40 vendors. We got a Cuban sandwich, Brazilian sausage set, and a BBQ pork steak set. The place was well organized and a small tent for customers to sit and eat. Our food was good except the Cuban sandwich was small and not much taste. Good place to spend the evening (of course the ice cream too)
So many get stores to browse through. A beautiful downtown district, that transports you to a taste gone by. Red bricked road and easy to walk streets make it easy to maneuver through this busy areas of town. There are so many great places to eat. From quick service items to sit down meals.. Don't forget to get some ice cream, such a a sweet treat. If it is raining out most of the sidewalks are covered, so you can remain dry. Take in a show at the theater. You may want to look on line, to verify what stores are open.
