    Another place I'm just not getting the hype for I guess. $20+ for 2 basic drinks and a tiny flavorless cookie? I get supporting small local businesses, but at those prices your product needs to actually taste good. I do like that they don't serve dairy milk but wish they had more options than just almond and oat.

    Hidden Gem in SODO: Lucid Bean Coffee at Harris Landscaping Tucked inside Harris Landscaping--yes, inside a landscaping business!--Lucid Bean Coffee is one of the most charming and unexpected spots in SODO. With a whimsical kitty cat theme and some of the best coffee in town, this place is a total vibe. The shop is small and cozy, with just one indoor table, but there's a lovely garden seating area outside that makes you feel like you're sipping coffee in a secret oasis. The cat-themed decor adds a fun and cozy touch, and it's clear a lot of heart went into creating the atmosphere. Lucid Bean also levels up the experience with a rotating BBQ food truck on-site, giving the whole property a cool mini-market feel with a mashup of great local flavors and some top notch service too! Must-try drink? The GOLDEN LOTUS--trust me, it's a game-changer. If you're looking for a unique, laid-back coffee experience with amazing drinks, a friendly vibe, and even a touch of feline flair, Lucid Bean Coffee is well worth the visit. A true hidden gem!

    T his is my hidden gem in Orlando. It's ran by the sweetest couple who make amazinggg coffee, matcha and more! I always try something new every time I go, and I love that they are open to making things that aren't on the menu sometimes. It's not pictured, but the latest combo i've tried was their Guava queso latte. A combo I would have never thought about, but they complimented each other so well. It's a must try!!

    A small local coffee shop with a lot of unique options. The service is great. There is some seating outside that is shared with the food trucks if you want to sit for a little.

    Cute place but tiny! Almost missed it when driving past. It was poppin right when it opened. Limited parking. Inside is cute only 2 spots to sit so not really a place to sit sip and work. Got a chai tea drink. Was flavorful, maybe a tad on the sweet side? Servers were kind and informative. Loved the colorful straws. Outside very green and nice to sip your drink amongst the plants!

    I love that this place is close to my house and it's in a garden (well, garden center, but still)! The ambience is relaxing and magical! I love supporting local small businesses so I had to check it out! I got the Pumpkin King and it was delicious! Service was friendly! This place is becoming so popular, they may need to expand the staff! It was a bit of a wait on my coffee but I expected that and it was totally fine! They were working as fast as they could! I will definitely be back to try some other menu items!

    I participated in the Coffee crawl and was around the area so my sister and I decided to put Lucid Beans in our GPS and check them out. It was located in the SODO area, right in a little plaza that had a BBQ truck, and a plant nursery. We went inside and were instantly greeted, in which we explained it was our first time. I had decided on the White Lotus which was a toasted vanilla chai espresso with a sweet cold foam and wowwww!! I love a good chai, but it was perfectly fall and like a warm hug! My sister ordered the Mirkwood Matcha which was a purple sweet potato & brown sugar spiced matcha and it was also a banger! I definitely enjoyed our drinks, and can't wait to try more on the menu. This place is a hidden gem for sure!!

    Employees are always friendly and helpful. Love the Iced Chai Cappuccino. Creamy plant based milk and you can taste the chai spice which is not overpowering.

    By far my favorite coffee shop in Orlando and we even buy their whole beans to make at home. The quality is exceptional in every way. Every drink is made with love and their service is so kind and sweet. I was following them around while they did pop ups and now that they have a set location I can visit all the time! This time we got the espressito. Another favorite of ours is the dalgona and the bitter beer latte. I especially love that they're located at a plant shop now because the atmosphere is beautiful calm and serene and there are some food options if you come around lunch time on certain days. I look forward to continuing to be a frequent customer!!

    We were welcomed as soon as we walked in. Menu is easy to read. Owners offered help in exploring their options. We ordered three iced drinks and were made perfectly. We walked around the outdoor plant nursery. By the time we walked back in, drinks were ready. Only complaint was I drank my coffee too fast it was so delicious!

    Treats, service, coffee options, ambience! Awesome little shop with creative drink flavors that are not typically found in coffee shops. Orlando has really exploded with local shops and this one is definitely worth a visit. Was a little tricky to find with maps, but they're In a local garden center, literally on the corner of Michigan and Shine, that has such a peaceful vibe There are also some shaded seating areas outside, amongst the plants and flowers. If you remember seeing them at events or in a food truck, they have this permanent location now. I ordered a Golden Lotus cacao blend and it has all the perfect flavor balances one could ask for Looking forward to trying many of their other coffe flavor combo creations. Small bakery treats are available fr another local vendor too, got a pin wheel with carob, very yummy I love coming across local businesses like this

    This was an absolutely delicious experience and as much as I wanted to try everything on the menu, the Totoro Martini was iconic as my first drink and the foam texture was everything. The Kaguya's Sakura Moon Milk, was also delicious, according to my friend who ordered it. They have the cutest souvenir glasses where you'll get a discount everytime you bring them back and get another drink too! Friendly and kind service. The owners have done really well overall with their nostalgic brand and lovely atmosphere.

    Iced latte. They use oat milk for most of their drinks

    my family went to orlando for vacation and we stumbled on mecatos looking for some good food. PHEW,…read moredid we find it! we ordered chorizo arepas, the beef and hawaiian empanadas, and had some coffee and columbian hot chocolate with our meals. our service was amazing and the staff was so kind, especially sophia who took our orders and checked up on us while we ate. the place itself had a warm ambience and was clean and cozy.. if only we had this place in vegas, we definitely would be regulars!

It is warm and welcoming, with display cases stacked with mouthwatering pastries and bites that make it genuinely hard to choose just one thing. Service was upbeat and patient even though the line kept moving. The staff did a nice job guiding first-timers through the menu and explaining the bakery items and drinks. I ordered: - Iced chai latte: honestly disappointing, it was not very rich or spiced and tasted a bit watered down - Empanada de carne (beef): hot, savory, and well-seasoned with a satisfying flaky crust - Hawaiian croissant (ham, white cheese, fresh pineapple): surprisingly good sweet and savory combo that worked better than expected I love how addicting and well the salsa de ajo pairs with the hot bites! The food overall was fresh and comforting, especially the baked items and savory bites. The chai just did not match the level of everything else. The vibe works for both grab-and-go and sitting down to linger. You can easily pop in for a quick bite or settle into a table and take your time with coffee and pastries. Prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes and variety. Parking was easy in the small lot when I went, though it could get tight during peak hours. Great for anyone who loves Latin bakery classics and savory comfort food. I would come back for the food, just not the chai.

    Some of the best-tasting kratom and kava I've had. I am genuinely impressed at how smooth and mild…read moreeverything was here. My partner and I met here for a quick drink with his parents. The interior is dark and moody, but minimal decor. Very sparse. Couch seating was comfy but close to the pool table behind (if someone is playing, you'll hear the CLACK of billiard balls very clearly). Staff are extremely knowledgeable of kratom/kava types, origin, trivia, etc. Felt very comfortable in their hands. JELLO SHOTS: Tasted as you'd expect! No hint of bitterness at all. NITRO LARGE (green kratom): HUGE. This is a STEIN. I split this with my partner and still struggled to finish it. Even unsweetened, this still tasted pretty inoffensive and light; like a bitter iced tea. I felt the effects only 5 mins later. According to the manager (owner?), they've only recently opened after taking over the previous business' space (another kava bar, surprisingly). Definitely recommend giving Pacific Dharma a shot.

    The good: chill environment. Pool table, if thats your thing (their seems to be the norm for the…read moreOrlando bars). It's small. However, for the sake of the patron, there's always room, as the few times I've been here its nearly empty. Product: the botanicals, aren't strong (a theme of the Orlando scene). If you're used to strong product, I recommend two largest. The con: hours! They don't exist. Absolutely no consistency! Within the last month and a half, I've been here 4x. Out of these 4x only twice were they open. I came in the evening around 7PM and a Monday at 3PM and theres no signs of life. For someone that doesn't live in the area, this is an inconvenience. Therefore, I can't recommend this business. Those that maybe new or visiting the area, there is Sodo Kava down the road from here.
