Juan Valdez Café Opening Another Central Florida Coffee Shop In Clermont

The fast expanding Colombian coffee brand, Juan Valdez Café, will soon be opening yet another Central Florida location, this time in Clermont.

The restaurant will be located at 15280 West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, on the west end of 192.

The news comes just weeks after the coffee brand announced that it was opening another location in Winter Park at 111 North Orlando Avenue, just east of Lake Killarney, next to Trader Joe's and Shake Shack.

Although the well known international coffee brand has 330 cafés in Colombia and a further 130 locations in 14 international markets, including Chili, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Spain and Malaysia, here in the US it only has a handful of cafes and all of them are in Florida, at Miami, Windermere, Ocoee, and Orlando's ICON Park on I-Drive.

Juan Valdez actually have ambitious plans to open 182 stores across Florida by 2025, where the brand will offer both hot and cold drinks, espresso or drip-based, and a South American array of snack offerings such as empanadas, tequeños, and pan dulce.

Juan Valdez Café was founded by the Colombian Coffee Growers Federation in 2002 to promote the South American nation’s coffee growing industry.

It represents more than 540,000 coffee producing families in Colombia and describes itself as the only major coffee brand that belongs to coffee producers.
