I had this place on my list to try, but unfortunately it did disappoint. The shop is cozy with inside and outside seating with a large selection of Brazilian sweets. We ordered lattes with oatmilk and the coffee was pretty bland. For being a Colombian coffee shop I expected the coffee to be of quality. I got a pandebono and it was warm and tasty, but a bit clumped. I looked forward to get Colombian empanadas and they did not have any. If the offerings are not going to be Colombian anymore, the name may have to reflect that change. It was okay but not what I expected for a Colombian shop.
Another stop on the Orlando Sip and Savor list of local places to try. Unfortunately, like a lot of places on this list the staff were not aware of the special despite multiple signs posted throughout the building, so no special deal. I went ahead and ordered the turkey egg and cheese croissant for lunch which was tasty and came with a side of plantain chips. I ordered the dulce de leche cold brew (photoed), which is meant for a real caramel and sugar lover... I'll be honest I was not prepared for how much caramel syrup is involved. Would recommend just milk and caramel flavoring to taste if you don't want syrup in every mouthful.
If you're looking for fully authentic "Real Colombian" dishes, then this is not the place for you. If a chic uptown deli married a quiet Colombian bakery, this place would be the product of that fusion. Neo-Colombian-American is what I would call it, and definitely way more American than Latin. For example; my cafe con leche came in a cute floral ceramic cup like you'd expect at any Colombian spot, but the actual coffee lacked the punch of a real Colombian coffee bean or brewing style. I had a reina arepa (Reinas are usually associated with Venezuela not Colombia but I digress). Reinas are also usually a gooey delicious mash of shredded chicken with avocado and a touch of seasoning. Instead I was served a much MUCH dryer version of the reina mix laid between two halves of a cold arepa. Honestly, with the cold arepa it was more like having a hoagie sandwich than a latin comfort classic, especially because their version adds lettuce, tomato and red onion. The sandwich wasn't terrible and it WAS filling, but lacked seasoning, needed MUCH more avocado, and the arepa left something to be desired when served like 2 pieces of white bread instead of a warm pocket. Again, this would be what I consider Americanized versions of latin dishes. My husband had a beef empanada and pan de bono which seemed like they had been nuked in a microwave... but smelled delicious to me. His items may have been fresh at one point, but not at the time we ordered (10am-ish).The place is cute, the decor is homie yet chic, the staff is attentive once you get their attention, and overall the experience wasn't bad.... My only suggestion would be to maybe recategorize themselves instead of listing as a latin restaurant. Best of luck!
Delicious coffee and food. Cannot wait to come back. The young lady behind the counter was very sweet and the outdoor seating was perfectly cozy.
Interesting eclectic eatery in SoDo. friendly and warm service and the food in excellent
The lavender latte is so so good. One of my favorites. Today I had the arepa which was completely customizable. I picked my base, my protein and my toppings. I ended up getting an arepa with shredded chicken, cheese and avocado. The chicken has so much flavor. 10/10 recommend. The service was very sweet, timely, and pleasant. I will most likely frequent this cafe.
This is the 10" Make Your Own pizza. I couldn't decide which ONE I truly wanted, why not just make your own? Attempting to be healthier, I went with the cauliflower crusted pizza. I chose to order it with tomato sauce, feta cheese, chorizo (Colombian sausage), cilantro & mushrooms. As you can see, it was made & served without the ordered chorizo. Before I could even let them know about the mistake, they confessed they knew about their error & were going to fix it shortly. Well, problem was solved & the AMAZING pizza found its new home. Aka my body.
Kolombia Cafe is an intimate restaurant in SoDo's Target Shopping Plaza. It is small inside, but has big character! Stepping inside, you're immersed in a cozy and peaceful cafe. They serve breakfast and lunch, but I stopped in for breakfast because the morning aroma of cinnamon caught my attention. I ordered their Bombo Croissant (a croissant with a shot of espresso, warm condensed milk, cinnamon, and powdered sugar) and Guava and Cheese Croissant. Both absolutely delicious! Their menu looks really great with a variety of options from Arroz con Pollo to Vegan Bandeja Pesa. Their prices are a bit high (the croissants were $5.99 and $5.55). However, I genuinely will return to try their lunch menu!
Kolombia Cafe is located in the SoDo section of Orlando, Florida. It is just off of Orange Avenue on that street that serves as a collection of restaurants and businesses and dead-ends at the Target. If you are unfamiliar with the SoDo area of Orlando, it is just south of the downtown area. The name is derived from its location, SoDo stands for SOuth of DOwntown. It is an area that certainly has changed a lot since I moved to Orlando back in 2001. This is a great place to kick back and enjoy a cup of their coffee. They also have food, though I did not try any. Both indoor and outdoor seating is an enjoyable way to savor your coffee. I was here on an early Sunday, so parking was not an issue, but be advised that parking can be problematic. All in all, I woukd definitely recommend here.
Family owned business. Upside down coffee mugs for lights. Wood flooring for some of the walls. A rustic little cafe that looks like home. I came in at around 10:10 and it was empty. Shortly after, party after party began to enter and order. This place seems to have already created a name for themselves in the neighborhood. I ordered 1 arepa and the pan de bono. They were okay. Perfect for a quick snack while waiting for someone to finish an appointment nearby. Cute cafe with strong roots back in Colombia.
EXPLOSIVE FLAVOR !!! Everything on their menu is amazingly flavorful and probably unlike anything you have tasted. Even the plantain chips make you go WTF ! This little place is full of big surprises !! Ask for their " berenjena al escabeche" and have your socks blown off !! Even the coffee is amazing !! It's like leaving the country and arriving in a place where everything changes for the better. The staff are very friendly and engaging. Treat yourself to something very special and pay them a visit for breakfast lunch or dinner. Very quaint and relaxing .. bring a friend and impress them with your taste and class. Indoor and outdoor seating .. nice area of town also.
I went to the Kolombia Cafe a couple hours after the lunch rush hoping to grab some dessert and go. They ended up being somewhat busy and there was a line for ordering. I ended up ordering a few different desserts to take home to my family. The cake was fabulous and very rich! The brownie with toppings was also nice and gooey with great flavor! The only reason I gave the 4 stars instead of 5 was there were no prices listed anywhere and I was very surprised when 3 small desserts put me over $30 on the bill. While they were good... I do not feel they were worth the price paid. The seating area was nice and cozy inside and I might go back to enjoy coffee in the morning. Overall nice place!
Just tried Kolombia for the first time and my wife and I really enjoyed it. My wife is Brazilian and so we love Brazilian/South American food. The Coxinha are big and taste delicious. They also have several desserts that we tried. They also tasted great. The staff and owners are very friendly and informed us new items are coming soon. We'll be sure to come back and try more things in the coming weeks. Very happy to have a place like this so close to home!

We originally stopped by Kolombia Café just for a coffee and a snack, but after checking out the menu, we ended up ordering a bunch more--and I'm so glad we did! I had a lavender latte that was absolutely delicious, along with a refreshing lavender lemonade. The arepa with the garlic sauce was extra tasty, and the two arepa sandwiches we ordered were healthy, filling, and so good we had to take them to go. You can sit inside or outside which I love! The woman working at the front was super nice and accommodating, which made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be back for breakfast, lunch, or just a caffeine fix! read more

El servicio estuvo ok, recomendaría algún sonido en la puerta que anuncie que alguien entró, porque puede pasar unos minutos sin darse cuenta de la entrada de un cliente. El sitio su ambiente está bien decorado y es amplio, en cuestión de la comida no hay tantas opciones de entradas o artículos para "picar" solo empanadas y pandebono. La arepa le faltó sabor y la arepa le faltó un poco más de tiempo, la empanada tenía buen sabor pero no la sentí fresca. Si estás buscando restaurante típico colombiano, no es el sitio, es más un deli de nyc fusionado con Colombia. read more

A one stop shop for great empanadas and coffee! I found myself visiting Kolombia Cafe after several training sessions across the street for work. The staff are super friendly and always know what to recommend for a nice pick me up in the middle of my work days. I definitely recommend trying their coffees over ice, and even taking an empanada for quick bite on the go. read more
Kolombia Cafe,, , is a beautifully decorated cafe right smack in SoDo. It boasts an eclectic menu with Colombian goodies and more. Not only do they offer decadent desserts but are also health, preference and allergy conscious which is where they really shine. There are a myriad of Gluten Free, Vegetarian and Vegan savory and sweet options available, showing that they are acutely in touch with the growing awareness for those of us with dietary restrictions. I have to be honest, we completely went nuts and ordered enough (GF, Vegetarian) Empanadas, Yucca Rolls and Pan de Bonos for two full days. Everything was delicious and had interesting and tasty dipping sauces. We added fresh Maracuya juice to the order and it was fantastic. The owners are from Chile which I found interesting, and feel that this explains the other options available that aren't 100% Colombian, but as a Colombian who is GF and Vegetarian, I really appreciate the food and desserts. Next time I will try the coffee. read more

I stopped by with my husband for a late breakfast, and the food was bursting with flavors! The iced coffee was to die for, and the ambiance was incredible. We were given a sample of "berenjena al escabeche," a typical dish from Argentina, and boy, oh boy, words can't describe how amazing it was. You must come and try it for yourself. I will definitely be coming back here. read more
The ambience was fantastic, but the empanada was really awful. I guess I was expecting a delicious, flaky, and yummy filled pocket. What I got was a teeny, tiny, corn crust (corn?), not so delicious item. I had the orange juice. It was fresh squeezed and totally delicious. I may try this place again, as it was quite busy, but I definitely will not have an empanada next time.! read more
Just tried their food menu! Must haves: - Calenta'o (rice and chicken) - Bandeja Paisa (not as greasy and more balanced then other bandeja paisas in Orlando) - Coffee - Any panini! I love it here Prices are definitely reasonable, never disappointed when i revisit. read more
We had been passing by this restaurant a couple times and decided to stop in and try. Thankfully they have two reserved spots for those who would like to dine in at the restaurant. Great to see since parking is so difficult in the area. The menu has so so many options. It's actually kind of difficult to navigate since there is so many things that sound delicious to choose from. We ended up getting a couple things including the arepas and empanadas, and coffee. All were delicious! We really enjoyed our meal and hope to be back soon. read more

This is such a cute intimate breakfast/brunch spot. I love how they do bottomless mimosas everyday. It is a smaller venue so I don't recommend going with more than two or three people. The food was delicious. The service was nice. The menu was we different - essentially you choose a bread base, and then add your meats, veggies, cheese to create your own sandwich for breakfast. The chai tea latte was good, not too sweet. I enjoyed it after a quick Saturday morning run. read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant looking for anywhere with vegan options for my friend and we were both delighted! The ambiance feels like a coffee shop and a wine bar and there were tons of bakery items on display that were very enticing. The cashier was very helpful explaining the menu and ingredients also. I ordered the Turkey Pepper Panini and the mayo-sriracha sauce, mushrooms, Mozzarella cheese, Kolombian dressing were amazing together. Not your typical panini which I loved. It also came with plantain chips and guac sauce. Everything was served on beautifully painted ceramic plates and dishes. I got three small Tekenos with guava and it was a perfectly sweet end of the meal. My friend got the vegan garden sandwich and vegan tres leches that were equally as good! I'll definitely be returning for more sweets and to try the coffee and wine. read more

I had recently discovered this new coffee shop while I was in the SODO area heading to Target and I had to stop on by to check out what it was all about. Now walking into this coffee shop it was a smaller quaint shop that had all the personality that a coffee shop should. It had such colorful and quirky decor it really made the restaurant feel very inviting. Now as for the menu they had a wide variety of things from soups to sandwiches and traditional Colombian dishes. What I was very pleasantly surprised about was that they had vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. For the special of the day they had a vegetarian Bandeja Paisa which of course I had to get as I was very intrigued on how it would be executed because the traditional Bandeja Paisa is so meat forward. I must say I was not mad at it whatsoever... now I personally am not on a plant based diet whatsoever but after having that dish I must say that I did not miss the meat at all! We had also tried the beef soup, tuna salad sandwich, and the arepas. The soup tasted nice and comforting, the tuna salad was a pretty normal tuna salad nothing out of the ordinary but still tasty and the arepas were nice, crispy and delicious. We finished up our meal with a vegan banana bread which was alright but did manage to satisfy my sweet tooth. Oh and let's not forget the coffee.. now I'm pretty boring when it comes to my coffee as I like my coffee just black with no cream or sugar. From what I did have I thought it was a nice flavored brew. Overall I did enjoy my meal and the service was fantastic. If I am ever in the area again I would definitely stop by to get my caffeine fix and maybe a light snack. read more
