Anytime I'm in the Orlando area, I always make my way back to Mecatos. Friendly staff, delicious pastelitos, and inside is always quiet and chill. read more

Mecatos Bakery & Café - Bakeries Near Me - Apopka, Florida

I ordered and Mercatos confirmed the order. An hour later it is cancelled because they had almost none of the items I ordered. The back and forth was terrible, manage your online menu! You can't expect an $81 order and you just send me whatever you want as "substitutes" . read more

Really good spot for quick eats. The coffee is cheap but delicious. Lots of desserts and the empanada are really good! I love their avocado toast also! read more

Mecatos Bakery & Café - Lots a good desserts! - Bakeries Near Me - Apopka, Florida

I tried Mecatos Bakery & Cafe and for me it was was their scrumptious arepa. It's generously filled and the cheese and shredded chicken (added avocado for 1.99) with some of their hot sauce did me right in. The arepa was amazing cooked fresh and has that nice crunch bite. We got two empanadas they were okay no complaints. Also got a cafe con leche could have been hotter but fine nonetheless. My son is in love with thres leche and he was in desert heaven. I enjoyed their ambiance too. Any place that has good arepas, empanadas, and cafe con leche with decent prices can take my money... read more

This hidden Colombian coffee house, pastry shop and lunch restaurant is quite a gem off the beaten path. If you weren't looking for it, you would never find it. Tucked away, off the back roads of Apopka, this quaint little place sits. Worth a visit for the pastry counter and arepas. I had the beef arepa, and it was delicious. Husband had eggs and son had empanadas. We came for breakfast, but the lunch. Options are served all day so we opted for that. I ordered iced caramel coffee but that was the only thing Miss of the morning. Service was good and friendly, and I found a bottle of cherry moscato from a local vineyard on sale I can't wait to try. The shop offers a variety of Colombian (strong) coffee options, not for the Starbucks sweeties. Without the coffee miss and smaller portion sizes, I would have given it five stars. Go, and try it! read more

I passed by this spot so many times and I never knew what it was; I saw it in a couple of build boards it caught my eye it looked like a Colombian Starbucks. We finally had the chance to check it out this morning and it was AMAZING, we loved the food everything had a great flavor, we loved everything we had a shredded beef arepa and a chorizo cachapa. Our meal was a pretty decent price and it included coffee (they have almond milk) They were very generous of the cilantro garlic sauce (in other restaurant's they're very stingy, so that was a huge plus for me) The presentation of the food was very good. They have a huge variety of desserts and sweet bread. Everyone was super nice, loved the vibe and it was very aesthetic lots of seating. Very well recommended by me and my husband read more

Such a beautiful place, with spacious seating. Everything looks amazing, as soon as you walk in, it smells great of coffee and baked goods. The service was okay, employees refused to speak English which is fine, thankfully I speak Spanish but I'm thinking about other clients who their only language is English. We ordered a cachapa, empanada, and burger. Everything came out at different times and the burger took almost 30 minutes. We were kind of in a rush, so a heads up about the burger would've been nice. They also ask for 20-25% tip which I think is too much considering we pick up after ourselves and get up to get our own napkins, utensils, sugars, etc. I work in the service industry and I only ask myself if they're getting paid below minimum wage. Obviously I still leave a tip because I appreciate what they do, it would just be greedy if the owners are paying their workers below minimum wage. Enough yapping, we ordered the cachapa with cheese, which came out cold and crumbly, it looked beautiful but the flavor was not there, I've tried many cachapas and by far this one was the least pleasant to eat. The burger didn't taste authentic at allll. It felt like more bread than anything. The empanada did not taste authentic at all, it was like the filling barely had any potatoes, it just felt like the flavors were not there at all. I will continue to order these items at my local Colombian restaurant, where they never fail. The best part of my visit was their latte, it was soooo good and made my day so much better. My son also got a reindeer cookie which he loved, it was beautiful. I cannot say I'll be back anytime soon, I'll definitely be open to trying them out again and seeing if maybe the experience will be better and not only about aesthetics or how pretty everything looks, but on flavor and authenticity. read more

Great space with great service and food. I had to call due to the address on both Yelp & Apple Maps doesn't take you to the actual location, the person who answered was aware and graciously directed me to the location. I suggested an edit here on Yelp as I pinned where I was on the map here on Yelp so others don't get lost. Back to the space & food The menu has options on options and I ended up with a cheese empanada & avocado toast. My boys had turkey, egg white & cheese croissant sandwiches. Additionally they ordered smoothies a strawberry and a mango smoothie. Everything was good according to the boys, I thoroughly enjoyed my empanada however I wasn't impressed with my avocado toast it lacked that ummph for me as I make it at home and season well. The service was amazing so I'd definitely return & share with others. read more

Finally the Mecatos in Apopka is open! I did the drive thru because I had my dog with me and I got 4 empanadas: 2 beef ones and 2 chicken ones. Y'all. This place does not play around when it comes to the fillings! It's filled more than other Colombian places I've tried. You definitely get more bang for your buck! Even though there is a Colombian bakery 5 minutes from my house and this one is 16 mins away, I think I'll drive further to this one since it's so much better! I also got jugo de maracuya (passion fruit) with water and it was amazing! I will definitely come back. 5 stars also for the bilingual staff! Even though I'm fluent in Spanish my husband isn't, and even though he loves Colombian food he gets intimidated ordering at other bakeries. read more

We stumbled upon this cute Colombian bakery and cafe. The location we visited is on Hansel Ave in Englewood. We arrived Sunday about 45 mins before closing time. The place was pretty full of diners enjoying delicious Colombian goodies. We ordered the pan de bono which is fluffy and warm cheese bread. The cheese empanadas were my favorite- sweet corn empanada with the salty white cheese heavenly Cafe con leche was creamy and strong. My 4 stars is due to not having the buñuelos which was my original reason for visit. We will definitely visit a Mecatos in the future. read more

I tried Mecatos for the first time and had an amazing experience! I ordered the Pandebono, Cafe con leche and a Colombian hot dog and enjoyed everything I got. The interior is also beautiful with a lot of seating options inside. The pandebono was delicious and paired well with the cafe con leche. The cafe con leche doesn't come with sugar so make sure to ask for it if you want it added. They also have sugar and utensils available to the side if you want to add it yourself! It was my first time trying a Colombian hot dog and I was pleasantly surprised with how well the flavor combinations worked together. The sweetness from the pineapple balances out the salty toppings. Overall amazing food options with great/quick service! read more

I ordered the power lunch and had a pastry and bottled water. The servers were very kind. I noticed they have a drive up window while I was scanning for parking. So much parking - so don't be concerned about that. Indoor and outdoor seating. Clean one- toilet restrooms for men and women. The restaurant was also clean. A nice variety of ethnic patrons, which is quite is quite important to me. I recommend you try this place and enjoy some Latin food and bakery items! (I didn't buy a salad because they include peaches, but I will give that a try next time.). read more

I do love how close and convenient this location is to my house! The only thing that was frustrating was no forks I only saw spoons and napkins so had to ask the girls at the counter and the table was dirty but other than that everything else was fine! We got the arepas, empanadas, tres leches and lattes and everything was delicious! The parking lot had a lot of parking spaces which was good and I like how inside is spacious with lots of seating areas with outlets to charge your devices if you wanted to! read more

Very cute bakery with the friendliest staff. I stopped by out of curiosity and was impressed by the wide variety of treats and coffees. I tried their frappe coffee and it was truly blended coffee, not watered down like other frappes. The cookies were OK. I came back the next day because I'm a big breakfast sandwich fan and the egg white and cheese on croissant was perfect. Love that we have a nice drive thru breakfast option. I will be back! read more

The beef arepa is to die for. Went on march 5th with a group and we loved it. The chefs did great !

This is the newest location in the area and still tasty as ever! The Colombian empanadas are always the best. I recently tried the Colombian hot dog and it was real good. It has a lot of flavors but they go together very well. Mecatos is a great spot for a quick snack or treat. read more

I've heard good things about Mecato's before and I was excited to see one coming to Apopka. The location has lots of parking, trendy décor with medium dark wood and exposed Edison bulb lights, and plenty of staff to ensure that you're served quickly. My husband ordered the chorizo arepa and I got the mix and match 4 item combination. The arepa was a good size and was flavorful. I got a cheese, chicken, and beef empanada and a fried cheese ball. We used the green garlic sauce, which had a great taste and came in a big bottle, so we didn't have to skimp on using it. The cheese empanada had a different crust than the other two which was sweet. I didn't care for it much. The beef empanada was my favorite, but is was just okay. I've had way better empanadas at other places. The fried cheese bread was pleasantly warm and crispy, but not overly flavorful. We got the chocolate cake for dessert and it was definitely the star of the meal for both my husband and I. I would try some more desserts, but the meal options weren't worth it to me. Rating from F to A+++, I give it a B-. read more

The restaurant is clean and the staff is nice, but the bread was stale, and most of the food was flavorless. I'm guessing they thought by toasting the bread it's staleness would be hidden. Sadly not. read more

Delicious coffee and treats, the only thing to not like is the music is very loud a few of the visits I have made there. Convenient location. read more

Gosh I was so excited for this place to open and it did not disappoint. Everything I've tried has been delicious. My favorites are the sausages and empanadas. Their smoothies are delicious as well. Service is great. The staff is super friendly and always have big smiles on their face. My only complaint is that their coffee seems to take a longer time to come out then anything else, however I know the staff is all new so I'm sure they will get faster at it over time. I love that they play Colombian music and the decor is super cute. It's a brand new building in a new shopping center so it's very nicely decorated. read more

I just moved down the street and have been coming here almost every morning before work. Excellent service, food, and coffee. Will come here over starbucks any day! Thank you to all the wonderful women who provide this excellent service and have treated me kindly, they start my mornings off great! :) read more

My wife actually liked it! I tried a carne asada arepa with garlic sauce and was very pleasantly surprised; she had a croissant and coffee, both good (but missed out on a wide variety of tempting desserts--her loss, I think). Their fruit smoothies are very tasty too. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the dining area was spacious and attractive; I'm pretty sure we'll be back soon. read more

I love the food, fast service and friendly atmosphere. The empanadas are amazing! All food is great, I recommend the arepas rellenas too.

Always a good experience, food is great and warm. Service is good. Stop in and enjoy the seating it's comfy too!

Maneje 15 minutos hasta apopka, llegué a las 7:50 p.m a comprar 2 hamburguesas PARA LLEVAR y no quisieron venderme porque iban a cerrar en 10 minutos, sugiero que cambien el horario de cierre de 8:00 p.m. a 7:50 p.m. que se nos muestra en el sitio web y así no perder el tiempo en ir para absolutamente nada read more

Very good food and service as well , but the tip situation at the register is a bit too much and it's getting old to ask to leave a tip , I asked fir 2 items with a drink and I paid for it , it's the employees job to give me that I don't feel like I have to pay a tip at all . Get rid of the tip on the platform I'm sure many customers feel the same way . read more

Super friendly staff. Food is great. I try something new on each visit. Easy to get to and great location. Can't wait for my next visit.

Tengo muchas cosas que decir sobre este lugar, los visité en varias ocasiones y me hicieron esperar más de 30 minutos por un café y un pan de bono, veo la parte de empanadas vacías pregunto si hay más y me dicen que tengo que esperar 30-35 minutos por mis empanadas se supone que es un lugar rápido hay personas como yo que van en su descanso de trabajo y no tengo ese tiempo para esperar la última vez que fui pedí un tequeño de queso porque soy alérgico a la guayaba y me dieron el de guayaba con queso pedí que me lo cambiaran y me volvieron a dar el de guayaba con queso (4 veces me dieron guayaba con queso hasta que me fui porque sinceramente me molestó) una señora de camisa naranja que me atendió me habló un poco mal porque estaba indeciso con lo que iba a comer y me estaba apurando para que ordenara mi comida los postres son muy malos secos y viejos no están frescos mi familia y yo fuimos a celebrar un cumpleaños y habían cabello en la empanada de mi sobrino de verdad deben mejorar muchas cosas sobre todo sus comidas vi que ninguna persona utiliza guantes para entregar la comida y cuando la persona de la cocina salió tampoco tenía guantes me parece de muy mal gusto comerme mi comida que toco otra persona 0 estrellas read more
