Located in the heart of downtown Sanford, Palate Coffee Brewery has excellent 5-star service and their coffee is rich and strong. This was the first coffee shop I checked out in Sanford and it became my study hub. Everything I had here was excellent. Its a great study space with a casual atmosphere for conversation or focus. Its family-friendly and the employees always make the experience personable. I respect and support their mission to provide support and aid to the battered women and those without residence in the local community. I would return often and cannot wait till my next visit! They made it feel like a home away from home.

The coffee here stands out. It’s a cute little cafe with a friendly staff that knows what to put together for you based on your tastes if your in the mood to explore. Don’t forget to snag a bag of their coffee blend!

Love this place! Everyone is super nice and the atmosphere is really great. I love their cold brew and an iced lavender vanilla latte. Definitely try it!

Slow... Unorganized... Messy... And coffe tastes burnt ...

My favorite coffee shop! I love their mission and the baristas are always so friendly and kind. It is clear they love the community and make their customers feel at home when they walk through the door.

Small but intimate. Very cozy and a great spot to chill and get some work done. The boys working there were very nice, sweet and a bunch of goof balls! The Mocha Late I ordered was so delicious. I came on a busy day but I got my order right away. If I’m ever in Sanford again I’d definitely be coming back here!

Nice place, good Java. Shop needs more employees.

Good coffee and good service. Amazing almond croissant!

Best coffee place in Central Florida. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the items served. The vibe is a cozy chic that offers dark metals, natural woods and overstuffed leather. The perfect place to pick up a caffeine boost. They also offer an awesomely interesting variety of custom latte brews that is always sure to impress.

Lovely coffee shop on a quiet street in the Sanford Historic District. Excellent coffee selection plus divine pastries. Comfortable seating with both couches and tables. Quiet setting to get work done or just enjoy a break.

I don’t really know what to say. How many words can truly describe just plain out amazing coffee?? It’s just darn good. Period.

I enjoy going to this place! Theyre renovating to celebrate their 6th anniversary and I love the mision they have fighting against Human Trafficking but, two (2) months ago they change the personal and the new staff is not properly trained. The lady messed up my coffee. Instead of hot gave me an iced coffee and never added the vanilla. I didnt ask her to fix it because I didnt had enough time to wait for a new one.

Amazing Service.... Coffee The Best I Drink So Far...Really Good Atmosphere ...Cappuccino And Latte

Beautiful place and very good coffee ❤️❤️❤️

Palate coffee shop is a cool little place embedded in a fun area (downtown Sanford).The barista was professional and poised, even when things got a little busy.

Great coffee and muffin, along with a great atmosphere! Ill be back for sure!

LOVE!! I’ve been frequenting this coffee shop since I moved to the area months ago. Not only are the coffees and teas delicious, the staff is always on point and the curbside pickup is amazingly convenient. Would recommend to anyone looking for a caffeine fix.

Tried a different type of coffee, the Sappy Cream Cold Brew. Very nice. Its a cream mixed with vanilla and cinnamon on top of cold brew. Maybe some maple? Not 100% sure. Always shop local coffee...and this place also helps fight human trafficking. Appears they also have an ice cream place across the street that uses Florida ice cream...well, its too early for ice cream. So, shop local, drink great coffee and fight human trafficking.

I love coming here to study and work. It gets a little packed in the mornings, but there is a great ambiance in the afternoons. The coffee is great!

Fantastic coffee. Had a hot latte with almond roca syrup which was great. Great ambiance in a small space. They had assorted baked goods up front which also looked really good. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor a pop in for a coffee.

Coffee is amazing, the people and service is awesome! Definitely putting forth for a great cause, we will always keep coming back! The Chai Latter is out if this world❤️

I volunteered for Love Mission once and I had awesome coffee here. The fund from this shop is contributed to fighting human trafficking in the U.S. and other countries.

Delicious drip coffee, adorable cozy storefront w some indoor and outdoor seating, super nice barista also gave pupster his own little adorable cup, thank you so much, what an awesome coffee stop!

Would be 5 but what happened, you guys rocked for so long but now your prices are the same but your quality is that of mcdonalds.....downhill, i am not coming any more.

Such an awesome place with an amazing mission to hemp human trafficking survivors. I got a cafe con leche with almond milk I believe and it was delicious.

Stumbled upon this place before taking my son to school. Absolutely amazing. The ambience was relaxing, my coffee and my sons hot cocoa was fantastic, and then top it off with the purpose.Every cup fights human trafficking. If my body could handle it, Id drink cup after cup every day.Even my son said this was his favorite place by far.

Great service. Great drinks. 10/10 recommend!

Delicious coffee & blueberry muffins!Really cute decor & cold AC. Perfect for a Florida summer.

Literally my favorite coffee shop that I have ever been to. I just moved this week away from Sanford to Altamonte Springs and the biggest heartbreak is being so far from Palate. Ill definitely be making the drive at least once. The baristas are really what makes the difference. But the coffee also slaps too. 10/10

Very friendly employees, nice atmosphere/decor, AND good coffee.To the owners, visit Krazy Kup in Plant City, FL. We just moved to the Sanford area from Plant City, and Krazy Kup was our coffee shop back there, very successful. You will get lots of ideas. Its worth the trip! If you go, you will find most of the decorations at Southern Hospitality, a store in Plant City. Again, 100% worth the trip, an investment.

If you love coffee youll love this quaint shop. I challenge you to pull yourself out of the major coffee chains and try somewhere new. Its well worth the stop and in my opinion, miles better than the green straw chain.

I love their coffee and breakfast items. Its a cute little coffee shop in the middle of downtown Sanford.

The late was good but the cold brew wasnt very tasty. Nice place to work for a while.

Very good coffee, friendly service, bakery items are ok. We don’t drink fancy coffee drinks so I can’t comment but we enjoyed our traditional coffees.

Went here for the first time and absolutely loved it! The gentlemen working here are FANTASTIC and I can’t praise them enough. Great service, really friendly and personable staff, the coffee is next level, and the atmosphere is quaint and relaxing. I’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend!

Perfect! But only coffee, no delicious, but every body have to try it coffee taste ❤👍

Coffee here was amazing! Atmosphere was cozy and quiet, great for getting work done or just relaxing with friends.

A great little local shop with delicious drinks! Very nice people.

About a month ago, I went to Palate for coffee and used cream at the condiment bar. I then had food poisoning all night and the following morning. My friend ate and drank the same things I did with the only difference being the cream. Other coffee shops change their carafes every two hours. Im not sure if Palate has similar standards, but I hope something is done to ensure food safety. I really want to support Palate and its mission, but throwing up for 10+ hours and feeling like my stomach was on fire was a terrible experience. I have had great experiences prior to this one. Volunteers were friendly and the drinks were good. Please let me know when higher food safety standards are practiced.My name is Joshua and I was at Palate on the 21st of last month, for about 3.5 hours in the evening. I did not see them change the carafe in that time period. I ate at home, there were no other stops. The cream in the coffee was the only difference in my day and a friends day.

An absolutely great environment to get your work done! The outside seating is where I choose to be on beautiful days but as we know, Florida is not always beautiful. However, the inside is great if youre looking for a comfortable effective workflow or even a place just to hangout!

My new favorite,been back 4 times already!!

Love their coffee

Great hand made cappuccino and muffins

Best coffee with a great mission

That was possibly one of the best cups of coffee that I have had. The service was excellent.

Great coffee. Great atmosphere. Great service. Offer a good coldbrew and my wife enjoyed a customized frappe.

Excellent coffee and service. Best around.

Friendly staff, the coffee was good and the atmosphere was low key and calming. Several tables, couches and even a high chair for the little one. Your money not only goes towards a good cup of coffee, but a great cause as well.

Barista was so nice and gave me recommendations since I am indecisive and had no idea what I wanted. he recommended the Sanford Fog iced and it was delicious! very cute, Covid-19 friendly environment! hand sanitizer on every table. loved it!

Love this intimate coffee shop, its so cozy. It is a nice shop to read a book while enjoying a delicious cup of coffee.

Super good coffee and wonderful people.

Great little coffee all proceeds go to human trafficking awareness you can bring your laptop and reax

Great atmosphere not too loud but enough people to be comfortable.The person who took my order was friendly and my cappuccino was good. I would recommend and Ill definitely be visiting more often.

Great coffee shop with a great mission. They have literary open mics once a month too.

Super chill and intimate cafe, perfect for getting some work done in the afternoon.

Good coffee, friendly staff. A great locally owned alternative to Starbucks.

Great coffee. Great vibes. Great people. Great cause. ♥ ☕ 🤗

Cool Coffee shop. Not much else to say. Relaxing and everyones nice :)

Wonderful place, great ambience, and good customer service.

Awesome mocha morning !

Best coffee in town.

Great atmosphere and really good coffee. Great if you want real coffee and not some crazy Expresso mix.

The coffee was okay and the barista was lovely to chat with. The cause this company supports is very worthy and its wonderful to see a business like this is Sanford.So why two stars? My first choice of drink, one Id seen on through user photos here on their google page, turned out to be a specialty drink not usually sold. Not the shops fault but still a let down. My second choice, sold out. Either of those things happening would be nothing of note but both in the same visit? Still only a minor annoyance and not too much complain about at this point.My sister wanted to get a berry filled pastry shed seen on the shops website. The barista informed us that the picture on the site was a stock photo and they do not actually carry that pastry. A stock photo of an item they dont carry. On a restaurant menu. The thing which people use to decide what they want to order...He sounded like this was not the first time hed had to say this. He said hed inform the owner that people do indeed use the menu on their website to make their selections. Poor guy. :( Two starts for the barista and the good cause, zero for having none of what we came in to order.

Some of the best coffee Ive had. Their cold brew is next to none!

I am so impressed after just my first visit to Palate Coffee. The coffee is excellent and the atmosphere is very relaxing. This is a great location to meet and chat with friends for get some work and/or studying done. The baristas are very knowledgeable volunteers. Because of this, the shop can donate 100% of net profits to combat human trafficking. 11/10 recommend.

Amazing business model and mission!!

Coffee very good muffins and rolls fresh fair price

Decent coffee, good atmosphere, limited menu

Killing time during our flight delay and came across this shop. Super great environment and super sweet staff!!!

We were able to place an order on the app pull up to the curb and be greeted with great service and delicious coffee. This was our first time coming here and we are so glad we did.

Ok coffeeI will try a expresso next time.

First, my pumpkin latte was delicious! Not overly sweet, just right. The two guys working were very nice, and informative. Sometimes there is live music. The small space is decorated very smartly. I really like that this company helps fight human trafficking locally, nationally, and abroad.

The coffee here is always really good. This time I got their chai latte, which was also good. The baristas are great and the service always exceeds expectations. I love the atmosphere of the cafe, and I come here every time I have an excuse to.

Nice Peaceful place to have coffee and relax ❤️

Excellent coffee in a little wooden hut on Cuna Street near St George.

Very nice place. Great blueberry muffin and mocha.

Really cute brewery. They offered both oat milk and almond milk. And fantastic service! As they grow, it would be nice to see a larger variety of pastries.

Coffee is delicious! Had the Butter Pecan Latte! Cool atmosphere!

Coffee and barista were excellent. A true coffeehouse atmosphere.

Palate Coffee Brewery has the best Cappucino, with excellently brewed espresso. Caramel notes of the coffee come through instead of the bitterness we are accustomed to from coffee chains. Add to that the wonderful customer service, relaxing atmosphere, and their mission, and you have a fantastic coffee experience.

Very hard stale bagel. Place was nice. Blueberry muffin was good, not that impressed with the coffee

The Sanford Fog latte was creamy dreamy!

Always great coffee and atmosphere. I also had the pleasure of helping to plan a private event there and it was the perfect venue! Highly recommend.

We were in Sanford for the day and needed a coffee hit. We stopped by Palate and so glad we did. The cappuccinos and expresses are marvelous. We also had their blueberry muffin and that was incredibly delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful and very relaxing. And the staff are wonderful. This is a great neighborhood coffee house and Sanford has a jewel. It is a great place to hang out.

Quick service and drink was good.

Palate is fantastic! The coffee is great, the staff is beyond pleasant and all the process go to fight human trafficking. I love the place. Great casual church service Sunday mornings for those that dont care for the typical church vibe. Try a bit chocolate bomb. Trust me.

Adorable little place!

Great place to grab coffee if visiting the downtown Sanford area. Good prices and great service. Very nice atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again. The only downside is that the coffee shop is closed in Sundays.

Amazing coffee and an amazing mission

Great coffee and superb customer service

One of my favorite coffee places ever. Baristas are volunteers. Nice place to do work or catch up with friends.

Nice little Café. (Must try the pastries next time.) Seating inside and outside (covered).

Friendly service. Great suggestion when so many delicious choices. Thanks for accommodating the party last Saturday. The banana muffin was good little dry but tasty.

We each had coffees with the Local Honey (mocha and cold brew). So good! Also they support the fight against Human Trafficking which is AWESOME! The ladies up front were very nice and the atmosphere is fantastic, thank you!

Coffee and atmosphere were great. Atmosphere was very cozy and it a great place to meet with friends, do homework or just relax. I was so impressed when I learned that all profits go towards fighting human trafficking! I will definitely come here again whenever Im in Sanford to support their cause!

Great customer service. Latte and cappuccino was very good. Enjoyed the ambiance. Definitely a place you would want to visit!

Incredible place. The staff here is out of this world. I don’t even like coffee! Their drinks and food are incredible. And besides the fact that their profits go to a good cause. I hope this place stays forever.

Best place to go for a cup of coffee or espresso in Sanford. I treat myself to a latte here every once in a while, and its one of the smoothest espresso drinks Ive had in central Florida. Very friendly staff, nice decor inside.

Love this place to sit and chill and Tina is friendly.

Great service & setting. Appreciated the suggestion of trying a dirty chi tea (w/ an espresso shot), instead of my usual standard chi tea latte. Since its the hottest trend, they also have a selection of Kambucha available. They have a small selection of pastries, cookies & other small eats. There is a small stage used for more casual seating, but also available to local artists for musical performances.Sanford continues to grow & impress with the selection of unique eats, bars & restaurants now available.
