25 Best Coffee Shops in Orlando, FL (2026 Local’s Guide, by Neighborhood)
We’ve spent a lot of mornings chasing good coffee around this city, as my partner’s a coffeeholic, if there’s such a word, and here’s the thing nobody tells you when you move to Orlando: the best coffee shops aren’t anywhere near the parks, unless you’re happy with chain coffee shops. They’re tucked into a handful of neighborhoods just north and east of downtown, Mills 50, Audubon Park, the Milk District, College Park, Winter Park, and each one has its own personality. Korean inspired roasters, a Colombian family cafe, a shop that doubles as a record store and venue. It’s a genuinely good scene, and it deserves better than the same 10 places every “best of” list keeps recycling.
So this is our running list of the 25 coffee shops across the city that we keep coming back to, or that our friends keep pointing us toward, organized by neighborhood so you can find something great wherever you’re staying. We’ve included the current Google ratings, the address, their instagram pages, and what our favorite order is, so you can decide in ten seconds whether it’s worth the detour. Also check out our guide to the best restaurants on International drive if you’re looking for a nice bite to eat on I-Drive.
Best Coffee Shops in Orlando with Map Directions
Quick answer: the top 5 coffee shops in Orlando right now
- Ligature Coffee (SoDo) — the newest name on our radar, and already one we recommend to everyone
- Haan Coffee (Mills 50) — the black sesame latte alone is worth the trip
- Craft & Common (Downtown) — our go-to when we want a full sit-down morning
- Jabal Coffee House (South Orlando) — a favorite for late afternoon matcha runs
- Lineage Coffee (Mills 50 & Audubon Park) — the one we recommend when someone asks “where do locals actually go?”
Here’s the full list, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Downtown Orlando
Downtown is where we end up most often if we want to take a break from I-Drive, for a day out, it’s walkable, close to Lake Eola park for a stroll to watch the world go by and of course grab a nice coffee at one of the amazing cafe’s, and there’s always somewhere to plug in a laptop and get some work done if needed.
1. Craft & Common
This is the one we send people to when they want the full experience, not just a cup to go. We love the Cherry Pie Chai on a slower morning, and the vegan breakfast sandwich has converted a few skeptics we know. It’s the kind of place that’s easy to linger in.
4.7★ (1,696 reviews) · 47 E Robinson St Unit 100, Orlando, FL 32801
2. Stemma Craft Coffee
Female-owned, with beans tied back to a family coffee farm in Nicaragua, you can tell the care that goes into it the moment you walk in and see the roaster right there in the shop. Our order here is the Dirty Mama, espresso over house made horchata. It’s the drink we recommend first.
4.7★ (656 reviews) · 328 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801
3. Beignets & Brew
Part coffee shop, part New Orleans style bakery, and honestly a fun one to bring visitors to. Get the warm beignets and a cookie butter latte, grab a seat on the patio, and budget more time than you think, it’s easy to stay a while here.
4.8★ (200 reviews) · 885 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801
4. CFS Coffee For The Soul, Downtown
Tucked inside Church Street Station, this one’s a favorite for a slower weekend breakfast. 100% Colombian coffee, and the Dirty Chai Latte paired with a chicken empanada is our go-to combo.
4.7★ (630 reviews) · 54 W Church St Ste 150, Orlando, FL 32801
5. Mariam Coffee Shop
A bit of a hidden gem near the courthouse, we love recommending this one because most people haven’t tried Turkish coffee before and it tends to win them over fast. The cardamom latte is the move if you want something a little different.
4.7★ (282 reviews) · 361 N Rosalind Ave Ste 5, Orlando, FL 32801
6. Bynx Orlando
Coffee shop, record store, and event space rolled into one, we’ve spent more time than we’d like to admit flipping through vinyl here with a pistachio iced coffee in hand. Worth checking their events calendar before you go.
4.6★ (418 reviews) · 420 E Church St #118, Orlando, FL 32801
7. Deeply Coffee Company
They pour La Cabra Coffee, a genuinely well regarded roaster, and the little lake view from the patio makes this an easy recommendation for a mid-morning break. We’re partial to the blueberry matcha.
4.5★ (787 reviews) · 111 N Magnolia Ave #50, Orlando, FL 32801
8. Ligature Coffee
The newest addition to our list, and already the highest rated shop in this whole guide. We’ve been impressed by the house-made syrups, toasted coconut and brown sugar vanilla stand out, and the daily rotating on draft latte is worth trying whatever it is that day.
4.9★ (60 reviews) · 419 E Michigan St #4, Orlando, FL 32806
Mills 50
If you only have time for one coffee neighborhood, make it this one. This is Orlando’s most concentrated coffee corridor, centered on E Colonial Drive, and it’s where we send anyone who wants to understand why locals talk about this city’s coffee scene the way they do.
9. Haan Coffee
This is the shop we recommend most, full stop. Korean inspired, roasts its own beans on-site, and the black sesame latte has genuinely become a local icon. Go before 9 a.m. if you want to avoid a line.
4.8★ (729 reviews) · 1235 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32803
10. Lineage Coffee (Colonial location)
One of Orlando’s two Lineage locations, and the one most locals mean when they say “Lineage.” Great natural light for working, and there’s a small library of coffee books if you want to nerd out a little.
4.6★ (913 reviews) · 1011 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32803
11. Qreate Coffee + Studio
Part coffee shop, part photography studio, we love this one for the seasonal drinks especially, the pistachio latte and coquito are both worth planning a visit around. They also run latte art classes, which makes for a fun weekend outing.
4.7★ (649 reviews) · 1212 Woodward St #1, Orlando, FL 32803
12. Framework Craft Coffee House
A quieter option in a busy corridor, with an open, plant filled layout that we find easy to settle into for a couple of hours. The lavender Americano is the one we keep ordering.
4.6★ (331 reviews) · 1201 N Mills Ave, Orlando, FL 32803
Best Coffee Shops in Orlando
Audubon Park & Corrine Drive
A short drive northeast of Mills 50, and one of our favorite pockets of the city for a slower coffee run, especially if you pair it with a walk through East End Market.
13. Lineage Coffee Roasting (East End Market)
Mentioned twice in our review, Lineage’s second location is tucked in the back of East End Market, a lot quieter than the Colonial Drive shop, and we like grabbing a seat at the outdoor picnic tables here when the weather cooperates and it usually does.
4.6★ (354 reviews) · 3201 Corrine Dr, Orlando, FL 32803
14. Lobos Coffee Roasters
A minimalist, process focused roaster where you can actually watch the roasting happen onsite. We recommend this one specifically to anyone who cares about where their coffee comes from, not just how it tastes.
4.5★ (554 reviews) · 3000 Corrine Dr, Orlando, FL 32803
15. Stardust Video & Coffee
An only in Orlando kind of place, coffee shop, video rental store, cocktail bar, and vegetarian restaurant all under one roof. We go for the atmosphere as much as the coffee, and it’s open until midnight most nights, which is rare for this city.
4.3★ (1,490 reviews) · 1842 Winter Park Rd, Orlando, FL 32803
College Park & Baldwin Park Area
16. Cups and Pups Coffee
A dog themed neighborhood shop on Edgewater Drive that uses Lineage beans for its espresso. We always end up ordering the Honey Nut Cheerio Latte, and the dog friendly patio makes it an easy recommendation for anyone with a pup in tow just for the cuteness factor alone.
4.6★ (102 reviews) · 2413 Edgewater Dr, Orlando, FL 32804
17. Bash & Brew
Part coffee shop, part indoor kids’ playground, we point parents with kiddos here specifically, since it’s one of the only places in the city where you can get an actually good coffee (the Lychee Rose is a favorite of ours) while the kids run around. This place is also a party venue to host your special party events.
4.7★ (154 reviews) · 2900 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32803
Milk District
18. Easy Luck Coffee & Bodega
The heart of the Milk District, sharing space with Whippoorwill Beer House. We love this one for its atmosphere as much as its coffee, vegan-friendly, with rotating guest roasters and sandwiches that are worth ordering alongside your drink.
4.6★ (278 reviews) · 2425 E South St, Orlando, FL 32803
South Orlando / Near the Airport & Attractions Corridor
If you’re staying near the airport, Universal, or International Drive, these two are worth the short drive off the tourist strip, and we say that as people who’d rather drive ten extra minutes than settle for a hotel lobby coffee.
19. Jabal Coffee House
Open past midnight most days, which makes it one of our late night go to’s. The matcha program is genuinely excellent, the Strawberry Cloud Matcha comes up in nearly every conversation we’ve had about this place, and the dessert case is dangerous. This place is a daily new addition to Orlando’s coffee scene.
4.8★ (630 reviews) · 8335 S John Young Pkwy, Orlando, FL 32819
20. Seek First Coffee Shop
Faith based, Latin owned, and roughly halfway between the Disney/Universal corridor and the airport, we recommend this one specifically for anyone who needs a real coffee stop on the way to a flight. The Flan Latte and Banana Bread Latte are the ones we always suggest first, always awesome!!
4.9★ (1,078 reviews) · 7726 Winegard Rd #101, Pine Castle, FL 32809
Winter Park
Technically its own city, but close enough, and good enough that we couldn’t leave it out of an Orlando coffee guide. The coffee shop scene is vibrant and exciting, the people watching and vibe around town is second to none. Here are our recommendations.
21. Foxtail Coffee – Winter Park
A regional mini chain, but a well run one, connected to a Kelly’s Ice Cream. We like bringing groups here since it’s spacious, and the bagel program is a nice bonus alongside the coffee.
4.5★ (1,541 reviews) · 1282 N Orange Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789
22. Café Don Juan
A Latin inspired cafe with a fuller breakfast menu than most on this list, we recommend the tiramisu specialty latte paired with the pastelón empanadas, which is the combo that keeps us coming back.
4.5★ (549 reviews) · 1100 S Orlando Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789
23. CFS Coffee For The Soul, Winter Park
Also mentioned twice in our review the original CFS location, and our pick when we want to actually settle in and work for a few hours, the couch seating helps. 100% Colombian coffee, and the Rainbow Lavender Latte is worth ordering just to see it.
4.5★ (716 reviews) · 430 W New England Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789
24. Barnie’s Coffee & Tea Co.
A Winter Park institution on Park Avenue that’s been around for decades, more of a sit down breakfast spot than a quick coffee stop, in our experience. The cookie butter cold brew is a seasonal order worth planning around.
4.3★ (882 reviews) · 118 S Park Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789
25. MAYA CAFE Lounge & Gallery
An art gallery meets cafe space with a Latin food menu alongside the coffee, we’re fans of the brownie espresso and the banana caramel latte, and if you happen to go on a Thursday, there’s a complimentary tarot reader, which makes for a crazy memorable visit.
4.7★ (525 reviews) · 1980 Howell Branch Rd, Winter Park, FL 32792
