Why we send people here
Downtown Orlando has plenty of coffee, but very little that pairs a proper cup with a real breakfast you can eat in five minutes or linger over for an hour. The downtown Mecatos does both. It sits on North Orange Avenue, close to Lake Eola and the office towers, which makes it a natural first stop on a workday and an easy meeting spot for anyone coming in from Thornton Park or Parramore.
What to order
Start with pan de bono, the warm Colombian cheese bread that most regulars order by the bag, and a café con leche or one of the more than 25 coffee drinks. If you want something more filling, a stuffed arepa or a couple of empanadas make a quick hot breakfast that travels well back to a desk. For an office meeting, a box of pastries from the case covers a table without much planning.
When to go
Weekday mornings bring the downtown work crowd, so ordering ahead in the Mecatos app is the simplest way to skip the line. Late mornings and early afternoons are calmer and a good time for a sit down coffee or a working lunch. Check today's hours on Google Maps before you head over.
Getting there
The café is at 20 N Orange Ave, Suite 102A, in the core of downtown. It is a short walk from Lake Eola Park and Church Street, so it works well before an event or a stroll around the lake. Pickup and delivery are available through the Mecatos website.
