    ESPRESSO COLOMBIAN VOLCAN
    Daren R.

    It was a long year and a half wait for this Juan Valdez café to finally open its doors a few days ago in the Oasis of the Sawgrass Mills Mall. Based on the contruction, I assumed that there would be an outside patio, but this was not the case. The inside was extremely modern with a beachy ambiance boasting wicker and bamboo style seating with circular wooden block ottomans. The bone colored marble flooring accented by a few dark green plants and the floral wall paper blended well with the tropical theme. Ordered a Colombian medium roast Volcán blend single espresso with a strong sweet caramel taste and exerted an instant buzz. Presented in a mini red cup with the Juan Lopez brand logo imprint. A bathroom was not observed inside although there are public restrooms only a short walk at the entrance of the mall.

    Stopped into Juan Valdez Coffee and had a really solid visit overall. The coffee was genuinely good... smooth and well balanced. The space itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. It feels clean, modern, and comfortable, and there's a good selection of retail items and coffee products. It's the kind of place where you can grab a drink and easily end up browsing the shelves for beans or gifts. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is the condiment area. I noticed ants around the honey packets, which was a bit disappointing and stood out given how polished everything else is. It seems like a small, fixable issue, but worth mentioning. Overall, the coffee quality and atmosphere are strong, and I'd definitely return. With a little more attention to that detail, this would easily be a five-star spot.

    This coffee shop opened a couple weeks ago and Juan Valdez is usually in mall type settings. Tonight during the holiday week was super busy with a long line but lots of staff behind the counter made it only a 5 minute wait. Shared an espresso with my hubby which was tiny but strong. Came here with friends who ordered hot chocolate that smelled excellent. Every table was filled with customers enjoying their coffee but not many eating pastry.

    I needed an afternoon pick‑me‑up, so I stopped in for some coffee and WOW!!! Why isn't Juan Valdez coffee more available everywhere? The coffee was incredibly smooth and rich, with zero bitterness. Colombian coffee really is on another level. I tried an iced lavender chai and a doppio. I'm glad I sampled the espresso on its own to appreciate the true flavor. I wish I'd had room to try the pastries, especially the empanadas, but I was already full. Even with a long line, the server was patient, friendly, and attentive. The space itself is spotless, and the decor feels clean and classy.

    Customer service was a no bueno. Cashier was having issues with register and left us without acknowledging us. Promotion is misleading .. as per sign latte Wednesday 2 for 1 but it's only for original lattes. The arepa looked so good on display but when hubby brought it over the outside of the arepa was cooked but the center was still cold. It was a cool coffee spot to try but I don't think I'll try this spot again. If you stop by make sure you're arepa is warmed/cooked up fully!

    Finally opened in Sawgrass Mills.

    Finally! After months of "coming soon" signs, the new Juan Valdez Café at Sawgrass in The Oasis (near Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse and The Cheesecake Factory) is open! The place was buzzing, service was super quick, and the coffee? Absolute perfection. My cappuccino gets an A+ from me. Super excited to have this spot nearby. New coffee shops are always a win!

    Peppermint Mocha Latte with whipped cream

    The Peppermint Mocha Latte was the perfect temperature, not too hot and not too cold with creamy, whipped topping as the icing on the cake. The restaurant was very crowded since it was the holiday season but the cashier was friendly yet efficient. The signs on the wall had information about the company but were missing multiple letters making it a fun fill in the blank activity with the other patrons. Juan. Valdez is a welcome addition to the Oasis area in the Sawgrass Mills mall.

    Surprisingly decent milk tea, considering that my clan and I were pretty much the only East Asians…read moreas far as we could see in the entire mall. After a few hours perusing the aisles at the massive Sawgrass Mills mall (mostly in the outdoor section), I was getting quite parched in the South Florida humidity. Being from the West Coast, I'm not used to this type of climate! When searching for a place to imbibe, I was surprised to see a boba shop here in the first place, since this neck of the woods isn't exactly known as a hotbed for Taiwanese or East Asian culture as a whole. Perhaps it is aimed for tourists? I was a bit skeptical initially as to how it would taste, but heck, I was on vacation. It was worth a shot. To be perfectly honest, I rarely if ever patronize mall boba shops even back home, as I know there are better options elsewhere, but since I was running on fumes at this point, I had to find something, and Komma appeared in front of me like the mirage in the desert. And ultimately, I'm glad I took the plunge! I ordered a simple honey green milk tea with no ice and 1/4 sugar, and it was just the perfect refreshment to hit the spot. Business was quite slow, as I was the only customer, but the lone bobarista working there was friendly, helpful, and efficient. I'm not sure when will be the next time I visit Sawgrass Mills, but if I ever return, a stop by Komma will undoubtedly be on the itinerary!

    Convenient kiosk to place orders if the line with the cash register person is too long…read more Unfortunately, the kiosk did not complete our order once we got to the final page, it kept loading and never finished. So we ended up going to the line anyway. Komma Tea is a small Boba and macaron spot located inside the mall. You can find it next to Auntie Anne's Pretzels and across from Burlington. My daughter ordered the Lychee on Lychee drink which was a lychee infused black tea with lychee jelly. She added tapioca boba for an additional $0.75 to her order and modified the sweetness by 50%. It was cool watching them make the drink, put it into the shaker machine and then sealing it. They offer huge macarons for $4.79 each with a variety of flavors. Didn't get it this time. Maybe next time. Lychee on Lychee was a very refreshing drink. Tapioca boba and lychee jelly tasted fresh. Service was good. Clean space too.

    A well-deserved one star…read more I came with my family to enjoy a kunafa and Turkish coffee, and during that visit I ordered a large kunafa for my birthday one week in advance. When I came to pick it up, they had completely forgotten my order. I told myself it wasn't a big deal--mistakes happen. What really bothered me was that the owner didn't make any gesture of goodwill to make up for the mistake. Not even offering something small for free as an apology. I ended up without my birthday cake, and they ended up losing a very good customer.

    I have seen this place on TikTok a lot during the Dubai chocolate craze so I decided to check it…read moreout for myself long after. It is located in a place with ample parking on either side of the building which the location has two entrances. One entrance leads into the section with the variety of nuts and snacks and the other side has the coffee, treats, bakery kind of vibe. The staff was extremely helpful as there were two ladies working there around midday when I went on a Sunday and it was not busy. Seeing that I have minimal experience in Turkish delights I did have a lot of questions and they were ready with the answers. I decided to get baklava which I am familiar with then I had a pistachio flavored iced coffee. What was suppose to be a purchase and leave because a purchase and dine in. The atmosphere and aesthetics made it really comfortable and inviting to enjoy taking a pause and enjoying the location. The employees made tremendous recommendations based on what we liked and they surely were right! I'll be back here again as this will be one of tiny go to spots in the area because of the staff and great coffee with treats! Side note, crepes and many other items are sold here as well!

A sample of all food available is displayed on the counter and the coffee menu is on the wall. You order, the Barista hands you a number and you take a seat. One of their smiling friendly staff brings your order out. All staff at this location seems helpful and pleasant. All syrups are made in house, which gives authenticity to their coffee. It is a bit pricey but in my opinion you pay for what you get. At Ella's that's quality coffee. I absolutely loved the French Sandwich. A delicious combination of jam, Brie, pear and Spinach coupled together to give you a delicious bite. Looking forward to checking out their other locations!

I love the charming vibe on the inside with the lights and the wood paneling. They have a sign on the wall that talks about their loud music and awesome coffee, and I am completely here for it. Both things were true; their music selection was amazing as was the iced cherry almond latte that I tried. Staff was friendly and warm. I asked them to choose my drink because I was feeling very indecisive and I have no regrets! I cannot believe this little gem has been sitting right here and I'm only now discovering it. Definitely won't be my last visit!!
