Mecatos Bakery & Café

Mecatos is one of my go to breakfast spots! We love going for the breakfast croissant sandwich. The croissant is so soft and flaky and the cheese makes it even better. It's about $9 but big enough for two people to share (what I always do). There's so many pastries I want to come back to try too! Saturdays can get busy and loud so it wasn't great for studying but great to go grab coffee with a friend. Definitely check it out!

Love this place! Always clean tables! Owners are so nice! And the good is always delicious

Always a little disappointed with this place. The venue is always a bit sloppy, with the dining room tables messy and not whipped down. The food is expensive for what they offer. I ordered the avocado toast coming with an ice coffee. They said it was a dollar up charge. I thought that was strange. My dad ordered the breakfast croissant with a matcha coffee. They also added a dollar charge to the coffee. We asked why and they said the combo only included plain black coffee. The menu says brewed coffee. When the food arrived the avocado toast wasn't toasted, it was avocado on bread. The 12oz coffee came in a 12oz cup filled with ice so was closer to 6oz of coffee which felt like a rip off after I paid the extra dollar for it.

I'm not sure if I just came here on a good day or if they are always consistently good but I am going to find out. This was a great find, out of curiosity I stopped in and ordered breakfast and I was shook. Lol. I was surprised with how fresh and delicious everything was. I hope this place never changes anything they are doing right now and maintains the same quality forever. If so, I will always support this place. Thank you!

I'm wondering why my part of the country doesn't have a similar Colombian bakery & cafe chain like Mecatos because San Diego certainly has a significant Latin American population that would support a business like this. Not only was this location in Hoffner the closest to where I was staying, but it seemed to be the newest branch. The standalone structure on a corner lot resembled a Panera but with a drive-thru and an outdoor patio behind the building.I arrived during lunch hour and while the parking lot was not full, the inside seating was almost completely occupied. On the wall behind the front of the line, there were ten different combo meals posted that featured an item plus a drink. I nearly chose the Colombian Hot Dog which was a beef frank dressed with cheese, pineapple sauce, garlic sauce, potato chips, mayonnaise, onion sauce, and ketchup.After scanning all of the lovely pastries and desserts that were on display, I reverted to my original mission which was to purchase several baked goods to go. My picks were the following...* Pan Rollo Jamon y Queso* Hawaiian Empanada* Guava Pastry* Sweet CroissantThe first item was a bread roll stuffed with ham and cheese then oven baked. It would make a great handheld snack every morning on the way to the office. The deep-fried empanada contained ham, white cheese, and fresh pineapple. The puff pastry was filled with guava jam and topped with powdered sugar. The croissant was like a sticky bun with an emphasis on 'sticky' as the item did not want to slide out of the paper bag in which it was placed.Mecatos has operating hours that span across breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I would return for the pan de queso, empanadas, arepas, and pastels. These were just some of the savory offerings. If I had a regular sweet tooth, then this place would be trouble with its array of sugary calorie busters. I gave a 4.5 star rating for my visit to Mecatos Bakery & Cafe.

Another Mecatos in our general area is a good thing. These places are popping up all over Orlando and they are good. Once their biggest asset is consistency, the food is always good, the selection is amazing and the service so far has been on point. We have been here a handful of times and it has been a good experience so far. When you are far away from home and family, it is good to have a place where you can enjoy some good Colombian food to celebrate your culture.

Can't wait to make this a staple weekend go to! The croissant was so flaky and delicious. The coffee was strong and yummy with four different size options I got a 16oz latte and added vanilla. They have such a vast pastry selection I wanted to try them all! The guava and cheese was delicious and would definitely get again. Everyone was so kind and checked on us outside multiple times and food came out very fast. They are working on a drive through also which is going to be amazing!! Can't wait to go back!

What a great addition to the Edgewood neighborhood!! I've been looking forward to their opening here for a few months now and this location does not disappoint! The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The building itself is comfortable and relaxing. There are several seating sections both inside and out, from tables and chairs to cozy places with pillows and a couch and relaxing chairs. The landscaping adds to our neighborhood and I'm so happy to see this business expand to our area. There is plenty of outside parking and a drive-up window. (The drive-up window was not set up yet as today was the first day of business. It is expected to open within a month.) The food items are assembled in glass cases and you walk up and order what you want and pay at the end of the line. Very fast and very efficient and the selection was quite nice for the first day. I ordered the beef and the cheese empanadas and they were delicious! I ordered the Merengue for dessert as it looked amazing. (It is made of egg whites and sugar and it was complete heaven. Though next time, I'll probably share one; it was a lot of sugar for me.) The owner/manager/all-around worker (as he explained to me) is named Nelson. He said this location was 3 years in the making. I told him I was impressed with EVERYTHING and thanked him for bringing this great Columbian bakery and cafe to our lucky neighborhood. Here's to a great, successful run here in Edgewood, Nelson, to you and your exceptional staff!

Ok, sooo, I love this place! Let's start with the location! They took the old bank and transformed it into this fabulous coffee oasis with seating outside, too. The decor is great and both the food and atmosphere are on point. Next, the coffee! Soooo good and the prices are totally reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised. Now, the food! Oh, so tasty, delicious, and fresh! Salad was fresh and full of flavor, the empanada was flavorful and NOT greasy, so thank you for that! And, last, but not least, the pastries...so many pastries! It was so hard to choose. If you're not well versed on Latin food or what to choose, the staff will help you out! Super nice and helpful. Overall, it was an all around enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

A chic modern cafe and bakery with many different options. I ordered a chicken arepa, beef and chicken empanadas, chicken pastry, and apple turnover! Honestly my eyes couldn't stop saying yes! Everything was delicious and their cilantro aioli is phenomenal! 10/10 recommend. Service is also very friendly and speedy.
