★★★★★
Best coffee in downtown Orlando, hands down. The baristas know their craft and the cortado is perfection. Bright, welcoming space and great for getting work done.

The place
Stemma Craft Coffee is a specialty coffee shop and cafe located at 328 N Orange Ave in Downtown Orlando, FL 32801. The shop serves single-origin espresso, pour-over coffee, and rotating guest roasters in a bright, minimalist space across from City Hall. Stemma roasts its own beans and offers seasonal drinks alongside pastries and light bites. The cafe is open daily with morning and afternoon hours and is a popular remote-work and meeting spot for downtown professionals. Stemma holds a 4.7-star rating on Google with over 640 reviews. The shop offers indoor seating, sidewalk seating, free Wi-Fi, takeout, and mobile ordering. Dogs are welcome at outdoor tables. Street parking and nearby garages serve the location.
Tucked into Downtown Orlando's Orange Avenue corridor, Stemma Craft Coffee has become a daily ritual for the city's downtown workers, students, and visiting coffee enthusiasts. The bright, plant-filled space sits steps from City Hall and the Dr. Phillips Center, making it a natural meeting point before shows, court dates, or a morning walk along Lake Eola.
Order the house espresso pulled on a La Marzocco, a hand-poured Chemex featuring a rotating single origin, or the cult-favorite Cortado. Seasonal lattes — the lavender honey and brown butter especially — draw repeat orders, and the cold brew on nitro is one of the smoothest pours downtown. Pair any drink with a fresh almond croissant, avocado toast, or a kouign-amann from the pastry case.
No reservations are needed — walk in or order ahead online for faster pickup. Street parking on Orange Avenue is metered; the Library garage one block east is the easiest paid option. Dogs are welcome at the sidewalk tables, and the indoor counter and lounge seating are laptop-friendly with free Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets.

What to expect
Expect a bright, minimalist coffee bar with skilled baristas, single-origin espresso, hand-poured filter coffee, and a small but excellent pastry case. Seating is a mix of communal tables, window counters, and a few sidewalk tables. Service is fast, even at the 8–10am rush. Bring a laptop or a friend — the vibe is calm and conversational, not loud.

What people are saying
★★★★★
Stopped in before a show at the Dr. Phillips Center and got a pour-over of their Ethiopian single origin. Floral, clean, and brewed with real care. Will be back every time I'm downtown.
★★★★★
The lavender honey latte is dangerously good. Friendly staff, fast service even at the morning rush, and the pastries from their bakery partner are worth the trip alone.
