Italian coffee inside the downtown arts district

Lavazza pulls the espresso here, inside the same building that anchors Orlando's Downtown Arts District. Local work hangs on the walls and changes with whatever show the district is running.

It's open mornings only, Tuesday through Sunday until 3pm. Mondays it's closed, like most galleries nearby. Grab a table by the window and you're twenty feet from the district's next opening.

We were visiting from San Diego, CA. We loved the service and coffee. Great place to enjoy coffee, history and the arts all in one place.

I ADORE this place! If you love coffee, stellar service, and art, this is the spot for you. Alexis was my barista and she made me a delicious latte. Her service is exemplary and she let me know the art showcase changes monthly. There’s also a coffee card to earn free coffee if you frequent the café. Definitely check it out, I highly recommend it.

CityArts Café is a hidden gem in downtown Orlando. It’s incredibly neat, clean, and has a great quiet atmosphere that makes it the perfect spot to get some work done while enjoying a coffee and a bite to eat. The fact that it’s the oldest location in the area adds such a cool historical touch. The staff were professional, friendly, and genuinely kind. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I had a great strawberry matcha here, a perfect blend of flavors. Great atmosphere in a historic building and nice staff! The cafe being connected to an art gallery made it a very relaxing experience. Made my rough day turn into a nice one. I will be back.

This is such a lovely place; a hidden gym in the middle of downtown. The coffee and service were worth the visit. Alexis was so kind and personable. We'll be back! ☕💕
