Why it works for the east side
Waterford Lakes has no shortage of chains, which is exactly why a scratch bakery stands out. The Waterford Lakes Mecatos serves the neighborhood plus Avalon Park, Union Park and the UCF side of east Orange County, and it suits all of them: students grabbing coffee, families after a weekend breakfast, and anyone who needs a box of pastries for an office or a party.
What to order
Order pan de bono warm, then choose between a stuffed arepa, empanadas or a breakfast sandwich. The coffee menu runs past 25 drinks, from a straight black tinto to sweeter specialty lattes, and there is hot chocolate and fruit smoothies for anyone who skips coffee. For celebrations, the cake and pastry case is worth a look, since everything is baked in house.
When to go
Weekend mornings fill up quickly with families. Weekday afternoons are calmer and good for a longer coffee. For speed, order ahead through the Mecatos app. See current hours on Google Maps.
