    A high-quality bakery with delicious hot and cold drinks, especially juices. A perfect alternative to Starbucks, where you can stay as long as you need, enjoying the Latin music.

    I came to the restaurant this morning. Neither of the servers greeted me. One finally said hold on. After 7 minutes of waiting, the server helped a guest that just walked in. I ended up leaving.

    I had a lot of time before I begin my shift and this was the closest place that was open! Absolutely love how they made my tea with steam milk and if you ever get the chance, you have gotta try those Leche filled pastries… I also got myself a stuffed Arepa… the breakfast one and they were incredible

    I go to Mecatos often and although I noticed the staff is not very good the food is great but I still go. Unfortunately, this morning I was very disappointed. I ordered a Ham and Cheese Croissant as I have before. This order was to go. When I got to work and I opened my Croissant it had no ham and a small slice of melted cheese right in the middle. I called to speak to a manager and I was told to call back in two hours because she was busy.

    In the middle of all the crazy and bougie spots in Downtown Orlando, Mecatos stands out as a humble gem serving one of the best breakfasts around. Their sandwiches are fresh, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced — and the coffee? Smooth, rich, and made with care. A cozy, unpretentious place that instantly feels like home. Highly recommended for a calm start to your day.
