Crema's Take
“Juan Valdez trades on Colombian heritage and pastries (guava-filled paselitos, pandebonos) that genuinely impress, but a 3.4 rating signals real consistency problems—reviews praise friendly staff and strong coffee in one breath, then complain about high prices and disappointing experiences in the next. It's the kind of spot that works fine as a quick airport caffeine stop if you're nearby, but don't plan around it. The pastries are the actual draw if you go.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

In general, the staff is friendly, and both the pandebonos and the tequeños filled with guava and cheese have great flavor, although I do think the prices are a bit high. What I see as more of a cultural issue is the size of the iced coffees. They use a cup size that doesn’t…
Stopped here for a quick coffee during my short layover and was so impressed! They were busy but I still didn’t have to wait long for my drink- I tried the arequipa latte (or dulce de leche) and it was fabulous. It was sweet but not too much and the perfect pick me up after a…
If you're looking for a caffeine fix before an early morning flight out of Miami, Juan Valdez Colombian Cafe might catch your eye. However, my recent experience left much to be desired, though it's worth noting that options are quite limited once you've passed through airport…
