I have been coming to this bakery for few weeks now and the service is always wonderful, its clean and the food is delicious. Claudia always has a smile on her face, always patient while I try to decide. So I asked her if she would be willing to help me put together a tray for my office Christmas luncheon with assorted pastries and I was so taken by the quality of everything she has selected. Each pastry was fresh and looked like off a cover of a magazine. She was very helpful to suggest different items within my budget and the presentation was splendid. She even made me this adorable cappuccino. That's the kind of service you get from Claudia. This place and staff are such a gem in the heart of Orlando. Give them a try, you will enjoy it!

I loved Mecatos Bakery! The Colombian empanadas were delicious, and the natural juices were so refreshing. The location was perfect, and their big menu offered so many great options. I also couldn’t get enough of the pastries, everything was fresh and flavorful. Can’t wait to come back!

The beef empanadas were delicious! Decently priced for what you get. Customer service was great, they were all super nice and patient since it was our first time here. Coffee was a bit strong for my taste but still good!

One of my favorites downtown! LOVED the empanadas! They are less than 3, but they are tiny (see photo). Espresso was bitter, but I really enjoyed the coffee. They have TONS of sweets, baked goods, breads, areapas, burgers, fries, etc.. this truly is a Latino/Colombian type vibe. The decor is nice, the music is good and the service was great. This definitely makes the top of my list for coffee places in orlando - specifically because it's got the latin america vibe that is so fun, delicious, and welcoming. I spent 10 on a chicken empanada, small coffee and single Espresso. I'll be back for sure!

Absolutely great all around bakery. The empanadas were awesome, especially the Hawaiian and Beef ones. The burger was also a delight, the pineapple sauce was a delicious change from ketchup or mayo. The fries can be skipped, but everything else was top notch for sure. Thank you!

Great place in downtown Orlando. If We lived here, we would be coming here for breakfast all the time. Breakfast and Lunch menu items are delicious.

Super wow the food, I'm strict but I give it a 15/10, from the empanadas to the sweets they are excellent and without imagining Claudia's excellent attention, she treats you with the best service very good attention and Latin atmosphere
