Do you have a couple of minutes before you start class but don’t want to be so far from the university? Well, we found some perfect places, so you don’t have to.

If you‘re looking for coffee shops near UCF, there are SO many great spots to grab coffee and treats. So prep for that exam or get wired in the morning with these six great places for you to try out!

1) Cup of Love Café

Cup of Love Café is an authentic Persian coffee shop. If you want to expand your palate with some strong coffee and tea, this is the place to be. They have various options in their menu from Turkish Coffee, Iced Coconut Coffee and Persian Breakfast.

We got the Turkish coffee, and boy, it was super strong! But while you drink it, you can have a Persian donut to have a perfect balance, and it’s honestly one of the best combinations you can have there. This coffee shop is only 8 min away from UCF.

2) Duo 58 Community Coffee Bar & Café

This shop is honestly such a hidden gem. They have been open for only two years! If you want a place to study and give back to the people in need, you should be here now! Duo 58 focuses on helping others by offering a jobs program and raising money for Haiti.

This place has such a crisp and elegant look it is honestly refreshing to be there after a long day or if you want to clear your mind with a good cup of coffee before going back to campus.

3) Mecatos Bakery & Café

This coffee shop and bakery is growing fast. They have authentic Colombian pastries and coffee. Mecatos Bakery & Café has multiple locations in the Orlando area, expanding to different UCF locations.

One of my favorite pairs to get is Pan de Bono or cheese bread, with a blueberry smoothie! So if you want to try something different with your coffee, just pop by and get yourself the cheesiest bread you will have!

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner in one—that‘s definitely calling my name. Foxtail offers sandwiches, pizzas, and other sweet baked goods for your study hour. Foxtail also has a drive-thru just for your convenience.

You can even check in through yelp, which can save you up to 20% off. They have a section with cold sandwiches, wraps, parfaits, and drinks. Foxtail is only 6 minutes away from campus.

This place is super cute and very quiet to get your studying going on. They have Liquor-infused coffee, too, which gives it a little twist to a coffee shop. Vespr has special cookies from Phat Ash that pairs well with the coffees they offer.

Our personal favorite was A Hallmark Holiday, a butterscotch and bourbon maple latte—out of this world.
