Portico Coffeehouse
1000 Longfellow Blvd, Lakeland, FL
Crema's Take
“Portico's mocha smoothie and chia latte draw a steady crowd of SEU students looking for creative drinks that go beyond standard coffee shop fare, and the two-story layout with a library-adjacent location makes it an ideal spot to settle in for hours of studying or conversation. The atmosphere is intentionally social and bustling rather than quiet, so come here to be around people, not to escape them, and expect variable service depending on how chaotic campus events are that day. Competitively priced drinks and a genuinely inviting staff make it worth a visit if you're affiliated with the university, though it's unlikely to be worth a special trip from across town.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

Cute little place but was disappointed with the service. Drink was average but competitively priced. Will not return
College coffee house. The mocha smoothie and Chia latte were really good. Definitely a way to entice new students to enroll
A coffeehouse on college campus is not expected to be quiet. It was extremely noisy when I ended up there (due to a car malfunction). However, the aroma was absolutely delectable, and I was able to just throw in some earbuds and get some studying in
A cute little coffee shop at South Eastern University. Right next to the library. Good place to hang out or read. Sometimes can be very busy depending on what events are happening on campus. Great coffee and smoothies. Friendly service.
The cafe is very inviting, has many options for beverages, and provides a welcoming atmosphere for fellowship both on the first and second floor. The staff is very approachable and helpful. Part of the cost supports very worthy causes and helps less fortunate. Keep up the great…
