Blended with all this, Orlando has been recognized as a top city in America by coffee enthusiasts. The coffee culture of Orlando is rich and one that has won honors.
What is best with a cup of coffee? Another cup
Henry Rollins
Orlando holds space for coffee massively. More cafes are emerging and more communities are merging. Art and coffee are weaving a whiff of pure magic, enhancing the magic Orlando is all about. And, not to mention, spotting local coffee lovers is a yummy treat.
And, these efforts bring us to pour light on the efforts of those who are working passionately for the love of coffee. Here are some spaces you may want to look forward to the next time you visit Orlando and crave coffee:
1. Lineage Coffee Roasting
Coffee is best enjoyed with cheerful company, do you agree? Well, at Lineage Coffee Roasting, you’re bound to connect over coffee and dive deep into the essence of the coffee community. Compassion and passion, love and care, coffee and community, that’s what Lineage Coffee Roasting is for you. They pour spoonfuls of love and grace in every cup of coffee they serve. Acquiring coffee beans from Guatemala, Colombia, & Kenya, they weave brews with a matchless dedication. And, ah, with tons of choices to choose from (such as Pacamara beans), you can reach out to their humble members to taste what suits and aligns with your coffee-loving soul. Not to forget, they are supremely famous for their cold brew coffee.
On a side note, my appreciation for Cold Brew Coffee has increased dramatically, mostly during the hot season. This applies to Orlando, FL that has a summer of over 85º F.
You can visit their locations at:
3201 Corrine Dr, Orlando, FL 32803

2. Foxtail Coffee
It’s the effort you put into brewing and the taste you serve that matters. Foxtail Coffee has proven its worth like none other. Founded less than 5 years ago, they have gone as far as opening their 10th store. Fantastic! When you go right with coffee and stay true to it, success and people show up, powerfully. Their flavors ranging from lemongrass to blueberries to dark chocolate – speak volumes about the creativity they hold space for. With coffee lovers switching to a touch of ice in their coffees, they have made sure to serve the very best of the iced ones in Orlando. Consistency and quality – that’s the badge Foxtail Coffee holds space for.
One of my personal interests was that they are roasting their coffee in Winter Park Florida, Orlando. When it says roasted recently and close to the shop, it really gets my attention.
If you ask me for my recommendation, I’ll suggest the Colombia and Ethiopia Single-Estate pour orver.
Side note: freshly roasted coffee beans increase coffee cup quality – here you can read more about it.
