Colada Shop

Stopped by the Colada Shop in Mosaic District on a recent Saturday afternoon to grab cold drink and was pleasantly surprised at the setup. This location is next to, but almost an extension to another store with an entrance between the two places. There’s a vibrant, wall-sized mural on the wall and it’s like you walked into a tropical bar/cafe/coffee shop with the vibes, food, music, decor & art. There’s counter seating, a small seating area and small bar seating packed into this location. There’s also some patio seating, weather permitting. While it can feel a little cramped, I’d go back for a their hora feliz aka happy hour everyday from 4p-8p, or to try their seasonal special bites and sips. There’s even Colada Shop merch including coffee for the coffee lovers.

Love this little shop. The pastelitos are fresh, the expanded their menu which is great! The Cuban is not as good as it used to be. They have great options for children. The lady on the front register was very kind. Come check out and support this local shop. Delish and fun!

We had a Colada Shop location closer to our home that we frequented until its closure a few years ago. We miss having it around but the next best thing is to travel to Mosaic for our Cuban cuisine fix. You can't really go wrong with anything on their menu, but I highly recommend the Cuban sandwich. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the pork was tender and flavorful. It's a filling meal in itself, but order it with the plantain chips and you're in for a real treat. We also love their guava and cheese pastelitos and coffee drinks. Service is top notch, even though it's quick service, our server brought our order out to our table despite the lunch rush. Its location is adjacent to Bloomie's with direct access to the store inside. Parking is at the multiple parkin

I did not eat. I only got a latte and it was delicious. The cafe is really pretty and comfortable and this Colada Shop is located in a very cute neighborhood and shopping area. Easy parking everywhere : outside as well as indoor public parking. Around you will find stores like Bloomingdale’s, Target for big, Barnes for big stores and many other small boutiques and restaurants. It is a vibrant area.

(Breakfast review only) We popped in here because Maman was packed and dang we were pleasantly surprised how amazing the ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was as well as the beef empenada (super buttery flakey crust). They were a bit understaffed so it took a minute, but overall this place is a solid option for a quick grab n go coffee + breakfast option that’s not just sweet pastries.
