This little café was such a cute spot! That I came across while I was walking down the wharf. I went in for a cafe con leche but happen to really wanna try their food! After eating I didn’t feel heavy which was great! Coffee was great and strong the way I wanted & expected.

Anytime I'm near The Wharf I always make sure I stop by Colada to grab some chicken empanadas. They are my absolute favorite. So good, flaky, buttery, chicken is seasoned just right and not dry at all for a piece of food that's deep fried and make sure you get the salsa verde even though it's just as good without the sauce. The only thing I dislike is it was 3 and now it's 2 empanadas, but it's still worth it.

Great atmosphere in this coffee shop, with a lot of potential. The main let down was the level of service, and the knowledge of the server behind the counter. She served the “Café Bon Bon” at Luke warm temperature, and served the “Churro Café Con Leche“ without the churro. Once received, the churro tasted amazing - especially when dunked in the coffee I got.

We got breakfast there. I couldn’t even take a picture before my 13 year old finished his waffle from here. It is definitely one of the best waffles we have had, and trust us, we have had a lot since we do travel a lot! The coffee was very tasty and strong enough! The key lime pie is to die for! The flavors slowly come through as it slowly melts away in your mouth! Not overly sweet. I cannot wait to go back again tomorrow!

​I ordered the Pollo Fricassee, and it was significantly below expectations. The dish was served cold and tasted distinctly like it had been reheated from leftovers, lacking any sense of fresh preparation. Unfortunately, this poor quality extended to the rest of the table; my wife and children also found their meals to be unsatisfactory. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

The sandwich and croquette was really good but the hot chocolate was awful! It was served so cold it shouldn’t be called ‘hot’ chocolate.

Colada Shop is pure chaos in the best way espresso that wakes your ancestors, empanadas that ruin all others, and a vibe that feels like someone turned “good mood” into a building. 10/10 would accidentally spend my whole day here again.

I love going to the Wharf location. The staff is always friendly. My food is hot and served fresh. It’s never super loud inside so it’s my favorite place to eat lunch on my break.

If you’re visiting The Wharf, you must make a stop at Colada Shop, my husband and I loved it so much we had breakfast there twice for our weekend getaway! Their food and drinks are absolutely incredible.

I tried both of their breakfast sandwiches the Ham, Egg & Cheese and the Mojo Pork and let me tell you, they are phenomenal. Perfectly balanced flavors, fresh ingredients, and so satisfying. A true must-try!

Their coffee sealed the deal for me. One day I had a hot cappuccino with a dash of dulce de leche, and the next day an iced latte with a dash of dulce de leche both were rich, smooth, and such a beautiful Cuban coffee experience. If you love coffee with a little sweetness, this is your place.

On top of all that, the staff was incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

If you’re ever at The Wharf, do yourself a favor and stop by Colada Shop. You won’t be disappointed!
