I woke up this morning wanting a hot coffee so I set off on my search for something new. Something boutique. I knew I didn't want Starbucks or foxtail. It's Sunday, I needed to explore the other things this city has to offer. On my search I came across Mariam Coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Roughly one block away from Lake Eola, this small coffee establishment is in a great place. Nice little courtyard under the Radius, an apartment complex, right in the heart of downtown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as I walked in I was greeted by a familiar smell. Not the typical American coffee joint, the unique smell I associate with the Middle East.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was there for business a couple of years ago and grew pretty fond of a good traditional Turkish coffee. I didn't even bother looking at the menu, I asked the man at the counter who turned out to be the owner, "what do you recommend?" He asked one simple question, "hot or cold?" And my response shaped the rest of my morning. "Hot. As hot as you can get it." He offered me a Turkish coffee saying, "I'll make it traditional. Will that be too strong for you?" Absolutely not. I needed to have it just the way they make it in the sandy deserts of the Middle East. He pulled the pot and began preparing it. I recognized the familiar box of sand, used to heat the coffee. After a few seconds he brought it to my table, the time had come. He used a different bean than I was accustomed to. It was floral. Like a blend of coffee and tea. It was amazing. I definitely recommend this spot. Get a coffee. Enjoy the ambiance. Sip it with friends. read more

Mariam Coffee - Turkish Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orlando, Florida

You can rarely go wrong with Turkish coffee, so visiting Mariam coffee was a must! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside the shop it's quaint and super cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a lot of coffee types to choose from, both Turkish & Middle Eastern inspired as well as some American favorites like pumpkin spice or s'mores. I went for a cardamom latte as the owner said that's one of the most popular drinks. And I get why- it was strong, smooth, and a hint of sweet with the cardamom. Oh so delicious. They have some yummy looking baked items as well- no actual food but the coffee stands well on its own. The storefront is in an odd corner of downtown Orlando and I'm honestly not sure how it'd be trying to park and come here. I walked so it was fine but I could see that being the one issue trying to visit. read more

While in downtown Orlando for the Broadway Series, I decided to take a trek to Lake Eola and Miriam Coffee. I ordered a smoked salmon bagel and Adeni tea as well as a Zaatar bread. The hot drinks are prepared using the sand method so I stopped over to watch a coffee being prepared and then my tea. The gentleman preparing the drinks said the sand gets extremely hot and can heat the drinks to boiling very quickly. The folks in front of me were getting a S'mores coffee to go. I sat down in the comfortable chairs by the tables and waited for my order. My tea was served in the cutest clear tea pot with a clear Turkish tea cup. I definitely would recommend eating in so you get to use these versus the to go cups. The tea was delicious and hot. My bagel was also great, soft and chewy and a good portion of salmon and cream cheese. I had never had Zaatar bread and this was drier than I expected with a bit too many sesame seeds on top. I will definitely put Miriam Coffee on my list next time I am in downtown Orlando. read more

Mariam Coffee is a bit of a hidden gem tucked into a very busy part of downtown Orlando, just steps from the courthouse. You'd never guess how beautiful it is inside from the outside alone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is genuinely gorgeous--everything feels thoughtfully designed, like it was styled by a professional interior designer or stager. It's polished, cozy, and visually calming all at once.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a large cappuccino and an everything bagel with cream cheese, lightly toasted, and both came out well-presented. The bagel was soft and plush, not dry at all, and the cream cheese was applied generously (as it should be). Honestly, I think I've been spoiled--in the worst way--by too many stale Dunkin' bagels lately, because this was outstanding by comparison. The cappuccino paired perfectly with it: smooth, well-balanced, and exactly what you want from a proper coffee stop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, Mariam Coffee feels like a quiet escape hiding in plain sight. Great atmosphere, quality food and coffee, and a space that makes you want to slow down for a minute--even in the middle of downtown.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely a spot I'd return to. read more

Delicious Turkish tea and the friendliest staff and owner ever! You can feel that it's a family owned business and I love it. Always try to use family owned businesses and it never disappoints. It was pouring rain and they offered to give me a ride. Hard to find people like that these days. Highly recommend! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cute coffee shop in a great location with decent coffee but nothing special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were the only ones there on Saturday morning and we ordered two lattes and a muffin. Coffee was made fresh and the latte was tasty but the muffin wasn't anything special. Service was kind but slow. I'd recommend it if you were in the area but not special enough for an extra trip. read more

They helped us with ordering and the different options on the menu. I got the Turkish coffee and a croissant. My guest got the Turkish tea and we split the Zaatar bread. The croissants was warm and delicious. The Zaatar bread was spiced perfectly and was excellent. The tea was bold and flavorful. My Turkish coffee was lovely too! Perfectly hot with a great bold flavor. read more

If you're looking for something different from a traditional coffee shop, give this place a shot. I'm a huge fan of chai tea, so I had to try the house-made Adani Chai and it did not disappoint. The experience alone, watching the barista craft this drink over Turkish coffee sand, was worth the visit. The chai blend is made in-house and has such a rich, comforting flavor. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and they're more than happy to walk you through the menu or share the story behind their drinks. They also have an extensive coffee and tea selection, plus games if you want to hang out and relax for a while. read more

Stopped by for a coffee to-go while I was in the area and am so glad I did. I asked the lady what she recommended, and after asking me what I like and how I normally take my coffee, she recommended the Creamy Dibek Coffee. It's hot Turkish coffee made by heating the grounds over hot sand, then gets a pump of hazelnut flavoring and a splash of cream. It was perfect and so delicious! It had just the right hint of sweetness to it and was strong coffee, which I love. It was also piping hot, another quality I love in my coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was bigger than I expected, beautifully decorated, and very inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lady working the front was extremely nice. The whole experience was just so pleasant with unique coffee offerings. I truly wish it was in an easier area to get to because I would stop by all the time! read more

Cute new Turkish coffee shop downtown! They specialize in the traditional Turkish sand coffee brewing method that uses hot sand to create an even heat and brew the coffee. The coffee grounds and water are added to a special wide-bottomed pot called a cezve, and then they are mixed and placed in the hot sand. The result is a strong, thick, and rich coffee with a layer of foam on top. It's super fascinating to watch, so be sure to order your coffee "for here" for the full experience. I ordered the creamy dibek coffee which is made with an array of ground herbs & spices including cardamom. It was definitely strong and had a very interesting flavor profile that continued to grow on me the more I drank it. The service was quick & friendly and I look forward to visiting again and trying some different coffee options I've never experienced before. read more

I finally got a chance to stop by Mariam Coffee! [[HIGHLIGHT]]When first arriving I noticed the beautiful decor inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The day I went, it was a bit packed, but there was still plenty of seats available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wasn't sure what to get, so I ended up with a tea and a cheese bread, which was delicious. The only thing I didn't like is that this spot doesn't have enough parking. I was lucky enough to find parking because it was a weekday, but im sure had I come during the weekend, I would have not found parking at all. read more

I really cannot recommend to try here at all,, [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not only overpriced, but the atmosphere also isn't really worth paying for.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee is extremely basic, and the extent of the offerings also don't show up on the self service menu which is quite disappointing. For touting itself as a turkish coffee shop, the turkish ifferings were sparing, and the rest showed up on the self service tablet which wasn't advertised well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also it was blazing hot in the store. When you want to relax and have a coffee wtih friends, it's not ideal to be sweating and uncomfortable in a restaurant that could easily provide a respite for the heat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Lastly, don't expect friendly service from here as it's quite cold and uninviting. I could get over it if there were other redeeming qualities, but in general there are many other places nearby that would provide are better experience read more

I haven't had the traditional style Turkish coffee in a long time; so glad I found this place downtown and had time to stop by for a cup. It's very aromatic and strong, just what I needed to power through the rest of the work day. Everything is very detailed as well, from the napkins to the wooden coffee tray with their logo. I love it! The space is great for a date, to catch up with friends (they have board games), and to also get work done. Parking is not the best unless you don't mind metered parking. They have lots of spots on the side along Livingston. Or you can park in the neighborhood and walk a few more blocks. read more

Absolutely recommend this business! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean interior and friendly service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I asked the woman behind the counter to help describe some drinks to me and she was very knowledgable with her recommendations. I ordered a chai tea with condensed milk and it was absolutely wonderful. Not a sweet chai you would order from Starbucks, infinitely better with complex notes, warm spices and just the right touch of sweetness from the condensed milk. It came to the table in a beautiful teapot with an accompanying teacup. I really enjoyed my relaxing and delightful experience. read more

I stopped by Mariam to have some coffee and a light breakfast! When I arrived it was right after they opened so it was still pretty quiet. I was able to go up right away and order my Turkish coffee and sat while they prepared it. This cafe is beautifully decorated with nods to the city beautiful and the lush green wall that so many people find photo worthy! My coffee was beautifully presented in the traditional Turkish serving tray, and tasted phenomenal! It's different than your average American coffee, but I loved the herbaceous flavor! This spot is tucked away off Rosalind in the same plaza as the Rise and It Grl Fit so if you're in that area I highly recommend checking out Mariam's! read more

Very good Turkish coffee. The gentlemen who made it too was very sweet when I began asking questions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was also very surprisingly big and spacious inside making it a great option for bigger groups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only takeaway was parking - very difficult to find around there. I believe all the small shops in this plaza really cater to the apartments nearby because if you don't live walking distance it can be hard to get too. read more

I was so excited to try Mariam Coffee today because I've seen it when I get massages nearby. The space is beautiful and spacious with lots of seating options as you will see from the pictures. I also love that you can order from a touch screen or from a person, so whatever your preference is, you have options. The food all looked amazing and I can't wait to come back and have some of the cake! The coffees were delicious and not overly strong which was good because I wasn't sure what to expect. A warning for those who have never tried Turkish coffee--the fine grinds are part of the drink! But if you order a latte or something else, I don't believe those have the grinds--my mocha didn't have any. Come check this place out! read more

I wanted to love Mariam Coffee. Really, I did. The space? Cute. The vibe? Definitely downtown chic. But the coffee? Oh, dear caffeinated gods, no. My iced coffee tasted like pure ash. Not "ooh, smoky and bold" ash--I'm talking, "Did someone incinerate a campfire log and pour it into my cup?" ash. If "burnt" were a flavor you could trademark, Mariam Coffee would have the rights. I kept sipping, hoping my taste buds would adjust or that the ice would mellow it out. Nope. Just burnt misery all the way down. I couldn't even finish it, and trust me, I don't waste caffeine lightly. To make things worse, it was the most expensive iced coffee I've had in all of downtown. At that price point, I was expecting the liquid equivalent of a sunrise on a mountain peak. Instead, I got a cup of regret. That said, maybe they were having an off day with the roast. I'm willing to try again (because hope springs eternal and I really want to support local), but it's going to take a lot of mental preparation--and probably a backup plan in case it's round two of Campfire Disaster. Mariam, please redeem yourself. My wallet and taste buds are begging you. read more
