Express Caffè Snacks Drinks

Great little spot. Fresh food and drinks! Definitely recommend. Service was out of this world

Good breakfast and cappuccino before heading to Epic Universe. Quaint outdoor tables. Service was great and friendly.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Express Cafe in Orlando, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is cozy and modern, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends.

My daughter and son in law brought me here after coming down from TN in May. I ordered a cachapa with cheese. It was really good. I am from Venezuela and I haven’t had one in a long time. The others had different arepa sandwiches and said they loved it. My grandson came and ate and really enjoyed his first arepa. Thank you for the great service and hospitality.

So people love this cafe because it’s part of their happy vacation memories. It’s a tiny cafe in the Celebration Suites with excellent food and coffee. One of the reviews said they only speak Spanish but that’s not true. The owner was at the window and he spoke English like an American. Like most businesses in the area they have multilingual servers to serve our wonderfully diverse population. Customer service today was warm and gracious. They offer American and Latin American specialties such as ham, egg and cheese bagels; empanadas with different fillings; and arepas with different fillings. Pastries are displayed behind the counter. They’re famous for their coffee and freshly squeezed juice. I had a good veggie arepa! The filling was made of sautéed mushrooms, red onions and bell peppers with minced garlic. It really hit the spot. Plus the cortado was so cute and it tasted great. The five tables outside were mostly empty til about 9:00 am (Sunday morning). Classy jazz piano created a relaxed vibe.

parking was a lil weird, but don’t let that keep you away from their amazing food! Latte, arepa breakfast sandwich, and the empanadas were phenomenal!!!! even got an extra to take home!

On our most recent visit to celebration suites we stopped by the awesome Express cafe! The atmosphere and food was great! The owner was very kind and accommodated us nicely! All natural, organic food is the only thing they serve! fast service aswell! We love it and definitely recommend Express cafe to everyone passing through!

We had the breakfast arepa and the chicken avocado arepa. They were both very tasty, fresh and just delicious! We had a good black coffee and the mango smoothie was made with real fruit and it was also very good. We will be back to try more menu items before we leave Orlando. The service was also quick and great!

I had a fantastic experience at Express Cafe! The food was absolutely delicious. The customer service was excellent—the staff was attentive, friendly, and made me feel truly welcome. On top of that, the cafe itself is beautiful, offering a wonderful atmosphere to relax and enjoy a meal. Highly recommended!

Hidden gem!! I’ve come 3 times for breakfast. Food is delicious, a lot of variety, coffee is strong, service is friendly, good prices, and cozy location. No indoor seating, perfect for soaking up the Florida sun or enjoying the view of the Ferris wheel.

Best Cuban Coffee, This is a local gem. Don’t expect inside seating, you order at the walk up and find a seat on their outside patio. The tables are cleaned by the owner, who also brings you the food. Very friendly and welcoming. We had a veggie egg white omelette, and a Cuban pressed breakfast sandwich. We will make this a next visit spot.

This is a great place! It is located on Celebration Suites site. We had Cuban sandwiches with fries. Delicious food! Small seating area, but when the fries didn't come out as soon, we received another Pepsi and Dr. Pepper. Super cute little place that looks to have some great muffins too. It also serves breakfast all day. Everything was baked, not fried.

SO GOOD! Don’t judge a book by its cover! Great coffee — real, strong coffee! Their arepas are excellent - got the breakfast one with cheese and ham. Their smoothies are also amazing! 😋😋😋

Amazing breakfast and coffee! I got a classic arepa and my boyfriend had the cachapa, both were delicious! Very friendly service and nice outside seating area.

My sister and I dropped in one evening for lattes and ended up with the best empanadas in the Orlando area from the nicest people. While we waited, they came to our table and brought my pup a dog bowl and bottled water! Literally the nicest. We also loved our guava pastry and passion fruit juice. They were fast and friendly, whether you drop in and go, or sit and enjoy a Florida sky.

Amazing food, amazing customer service and authentic taste. My son and I drove 40 mins to come and taste their famous Cuban and cachapa de queso and it was worth it. The perfect amount of cheese on the cachapa, the right amount of mustard on the Cuban make it a must try. Their juices are also freshly made which is the icing on the cake. When in the KISSIMEE area this is a go to! They should definitely consider indoor dinning, given they only have outdoor seating and with this great taste they should seat more people.

I want to take a moment to acknowledge this little gem serving delicious coffee and food to go. The perfect place for a quick bite and espresso. Their chicken and mozzarella cheese arepa is mouth watering.

Great food, cool place and friendly service: Breakfast, lunch and dinner (great for when returning from the parks! Services beer)

It's a small, cozy and friendly place, we placed our order and the food came out quickly 😄 delicious arepa stuffed with grilled chicken and avocado 🤤 I also ordered steak cachapas it was good just to sweet for my taste, the natural juices are really made fresh. Prices are reasonable. Would definitely come back, great spot for quick lunch 🥰 very friendly workers.

A cozy and quiet family owned cafe!!! We had a wonderful chat with the owner. One of the best cafes I have ever been to! It’s just a perfect place to enjoy a healthy breakfast or a light brunch. We loved everything we tried, especially the Baked Empanadas, a must-try Primavera Sandwich, and Cachapa cheese sandwich. Never tasted anything as flavorful before!

Hidden gem, this was an outstanding breakfast. We love a good Cuban sandwich and they completely nailed it. So much flavor and so tasty! We had the best iced pumpkin spice latte. We also tried the breakfast Arepas, they were the perfect texture. Our only regret is that we didn’t find it sooner on our trip to try more of their food. Everything looks amazing.

Food is absolutely delicious! Service was amazing as well!! Highly recommend.

Great food and attentive staff. The cuban coffee and Columbian breakfast items were amazing. The juices were fresh and so great. The pancakes are fluffy and with amazing sweetness. So good, this is a must try.

The sandwich era MUY delicioso. The strawberry drink was very flavorful. It is a little hidden, but WELL worth trip. When I visit Florida again, I'll be sure to visit here again.

I wish I could add more stars!! Please go to this pace!! I had the dream sandwich!! I added an egg and avocado!! The food 10/10 but let talk about the service!! From the moment I got there I was greeted by a gentleman who was so kind and sweet explained everything and gave me recommendations. Later the girl who brought me the food was nothing but amazing!! Brought me all the sauces I wanted kept checking in on me. I was FaceTimeing my mom and she brought me something to prop my phone on!! Usually places have really good service but not great food or the other way around. This place has both!!!

Great food and attentive staff. The cuban coffee and Columbian breakfast items were amazing. The juices were fresh and so great. The pancakes are fluffy and with amazing sweetness. So good, this is a must try.

What a beautifully hidden gem for a touristy area. I couldn't even think about waiting to eat a literally perfect to every sense emapenada. Thank goodness there were only two left because I could have order 5 Togo. Cuban was great and the sweet pickles complimented so well. Columbian style coffee to perfection!!! I recommend a Cortadito hands down perfection. Thanks for making my Wife and I feel more them welcome. Oh and spoiled our pug Bell with a pup cup and water bowl. You really feel at home here and the food and service speaks of the same feel as if you were in the owners home. 10/10 guys a must have

Our family had a wonderful experience for lunch at the Express Cafe. The cafe con leche was perfect, and our kids got a variety of smoothies that they loved. After starting with the pao de quiero, we took recommendations on sandwiches and were not disappointed, between the Cubano, a bacon, egg, & cheese croissant, the dream sandwich, and a vegetarian arepa. Everyone was so kind and we were inspired by their story. A great and even surprising option off the beaten track that we would recommend.

We stumbled upon this small cafeteria in Orlando and ended up having breakfast here every single day of our trip. It’s a friendly and safe establishment with quick service and a warm, welcoming vibe that truly feels like a family-run business. The outdoor seating area is adorable and very well kept, perfect for enjoying a quick bite. Everything is clean and comfortable, whether you’re dining in or picking up food to go. The arepa de queso and Cuban breakfast were absolutely amazing, and the coffee alone is worth the visit. This place became our favorite morning stop, and we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area.

This cozy Florida café has become one of my favorite breakfast spots. It offers only outdoor seating, but the space is bright, relaxed, and perfect for enjoying a warm Florida morning. The food is incredible—fresh, authentic Venezuelan flavors that taste truly homemade. The cachapas are sweet, savory, and so satisfying. Every dish feels like it was made with care. The owner is exceptionally kind and welcoming, treating every guest with warmth. If you’re looking for a delicious breakfast, lunch or snacks with friendly service and a relaxed outdoor vibe, this café is an absolute must-try. Highly recommended!

The pancakes were dry but edible. I used syrup. This was my 3rd full meal in the 4 days 3 nights I was there. Nothing was burnt. Didn't upset my stomach as previous meals from different establishments in the area. Came out quickly. Presented nicely. Not a lot of seating. Not a lot of parking. So eat and go. Or eat to go. I didn't like being bothered while eating, and ppl kept asking me for a chair. I was a solo dining.

The coffee here is incredible - the catch is that the serving size is tiny. That's probably a cultural thing. We also grabbed an omelette, which was pretty solid. There are only a few tables, and all seating is outside, so plan on grabbing food and drink to go if the weather is bad.

It tasted very good , they do put a lot of cheese in the cachapas and pan de queso but some love that and some don’t . The fact that is in a hotel room it’s odd .

The Express Cafe is in the hotel called Celebration Suites. If you’re not careful, you’ll miss the entrance. We ordered a few items to sample. No indoor dining. It was very hot outside but there are umbrella-ed tables. The Argentina style Chicken Empanadas (baked) was out of this world full of flavor. Served with Cilantro Sauce. Try the empanada before saucing it up. The omelet and the Arepas were okay. The bacon on the Arepas and the Omelet was nice and thick but a little fatty. It could have been cooked longer. The kids Mickey Mouse pancake ($8.00) was well, a pancake, as to be expected but they didn’t bring the syrup with it and by the time we received syrup, the pancake was cold. It took a while for our Frappuccino and Cafe de leche to come out. They bring the food out as it’s cooked expect to be eating in front of your hungry spouse or family while they’re food is waiting to come out. The Cafe de Leche was very sweet but I loved the Frappuccino (added vanilla) because it was strong and definitely worth the price. We also had a shot of Iced Expresso which I highly recommend for a quick “pick me up”. Well, if I eat here again, I would not order an omelet because all toppings were additional. I would not tip because you don’t really have a “true server”. Rather food runners. I had to go to the window to ask for refills and ask for to-go boxes and ask for condiments. The next time I eat here, it will be for the Empanadas and/or Frappuccino and it will be taken to-go. By the way, it’s way too hot in Florida to sit outside.

This place is what I’d call a hidden gem! I was craving a Latin breakfast and stumbled upon this spot. We ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on Cuban bread, a breakfast arepa, and an order of pao de queijo, plus some coffee, of course. Everything was freshly made and well-prepared, and the flavors were spot on. The staff was friendly, and although the space is small, it’s clean and welcoming, with a nice outdoor seating area that’s great in any weather. I’ll definitely be coming back!

The sandwiches were pretty good, coffee was decent, but nothing crazy good. There is only outdoor seating. It was located in the center of a hotel area. They did not have any prices listed on menus tho.

I had a steak and cheese arepa. I wish it had a better cheese than the basic shredded kind. Steak was a bit bland, but the garlic cilantro crema was literally so amazing! There are also espresso drinks and sandwiches. It took about 20 minutes to get my one arepa, though, and I was only one of two there for lunch, so it's not very quick.

Really wanted to like this place. The juice was good so that a positive. Unfortunately the service was extremely slow (ordered a breakfast sandwich, black beans, juice and coffee) and it took 20 minutes. When I finally got my sandwich it was completely wrong. Ordered an everything bagel, I got a plain bagel. Ordered Swiss cheese, I got American. Worst of all I ordered avocado which I was charged extra for-and I didn’t get avocado. By the time I realized it, we were already on the highway headed away from the restaurant. Just check your food before you leave, you want to make sure you get what you paid for.

Parking here is not easy! Very limited parking because majority of the parking spots are for hotel guests, so you will also have a lot of cars double parked. We ordered a Cuban sandwich and two arepas (beef and chicken). If you’re in a hurry this is not the place to go to for a quick bite. It took them almost 45 mins to get our order. The Cuban sandwich was ok and just felt like it was a panini pressed sandwich and the empanada were already pre-made just reheated, so I don’t know why it took so long. The beef empanada was dry and had a weird flavor to it. I would’ve given a 1 star review but I actually I enjoyed the chicken empanada which was tasty and juicy inside.

The review is solely based on the taste of the coffee. I had a cappuccino and it tasted worse than from a coffee machine. Not worth the $7.50 price tag for a medium sized cup. The staff was friendly, though. My initial plan was to sit down and enjoy a couple cappuccinos, but then I was hit by the crazy bill amount (they don’t list the price on the menu in the window) and then it’s poor taste.

It’s in front of a motel. Seating area is in front of an AC unit so it was loud. The world famous mac and cheese is Kraft which is $10. No returns if the food isn’t good.
