Mecatos Bakery & Café - Bakery and Cake Shop in Orlando - 12400 Lake Underhill Rd Unit #103, USA

First impression? What a nice option to have. It was my first time visiting this place. I could hang out there all day, after all, you could get coffee, mimosas or wine here and a variety of meal options.! Nestled away in a corner of the shopping center, there's plenty of parking. Huge bonus for location. You enter into a homey, comfortable spot that yearns for you to stay a while. Different types of seating is available; sofa and chairs for relaxed vibes, great for coffee and book reading or coffee and chats, window seating in small, intimate wooden booths that get lots if sunlight. Wooden tables set up throughout the open dining area for small groups or casual, relaxed seating along the wall with large pillows for your back. Well thought out space with quality displayed. Trash/condiment replenishment areas are well kept; clean. Food options available for the pickiest person - me! From breakfast sandwiches to pastries and quick lunch items, it could easily be a comfortable lunch and early dinner location. The only con, I didn't know what some items were, and a staff member had a hard time telling me. She spoke only Spanish and didn't try to answer in English. Be sure to watch what the person in front of you does because as a first timer, you don't know to order, then move to pay along the opposite side of display cases. We thought our person just walked away from us after we ordered to get our order to bring to us. Nope. She was waiting way at the opposite end of the counter for us to pay but she didn't speak english so she didn't tell us.... Yikes. The place was clean and inviting. Staff member came out periodically to clean tables where guests left things. I'd go here again. They show pride in their bakery.

Went to Mecatos for a quick dessert and thoroughly enjoyed my cheesecake! My friend ordered a tres leches cake, and it was a little too sweet for our tastes. The cafe is very clean and comfortable, though we were not in there long.

Loved my food and cappuccino immensely! Mildred was exceptionally helpful, as I wanted every item and needed help deciding! Definitely recommend the Empanadas with the spicy salsa and garlic sauce! The space is large and inviting comfortable! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The cashier looked to be a little annoyed, I don’t know if it was because I didn’t know what to pick, probably my fault haha. The food was a little bland, I got the arepa with sausage, but it tasted like nothing at all. The sausage was very fatty, but still was the only thing with flavor. The coffee was really good!

Good food. Good seasoning, and Good atmosphere. However, service and customer service use some improvement. Counter staff seems to rush you through ordering process and get frustrated if you have questions about the menu. You are at a disadvantage if you don't speak English.

I’m giving this an average of 3 stars. You’ll be waiting a while. It’s always busy. No one can’t control, and that’s a good sign. Their croissant egg sandwiches are very good! Which I will come back for. If you want coffee, lattes, or real espresso. Go to DUO cafe down the street. At Mecato’s, it’s wayyy too acidic and very bitter. The caramel syrup kept settling at the bottom. (Which I didn’t expect it to be a thick, goopy dessert drizzle) Their pastries….as nice as they look, are very bland. Think “corporate-mass-produced” tasting.

My daughter took me here for the first time. A very nice and open area. Delicious desserts and food. I saw some people on there laptops like working or studying. Very clean nice area to have a nice brunch or evening dinner.

Another Mecatos wonderful experience! First time at this location. Quality is the same high standards as the ones I've visited. It's a must for coffee lovers everywhere!
