Orlando, Florida (September 8, 2026) – Ellianos Coffee, a southeast-based drive-thru specialty coffee brand, is thrilled to announce a new location coming soon to Orlando, Florida. The new drive-thru will be located at 240 S. Semoran Blvd., Orlando, FL, and is being developed by two local families and longtime Orlando residents who came together through a shared love of coffee, community, and business.

The franchisees are no strangers to Ellianos. Their first location opened in Winter Springs in February 2025, and the experience of building relationships with guests and becoming part of that community is exactly what inspired them to bring a second location to Orlando. UCF alumni with deep roots in Central Florida, the two families have eight kids between them and have had their families right alongside them throughout every step of this journey.

“Opening our Winter Springs location taught us so much, and getting to take everything we have learned and put it into a second location makes this one especially exciting,” said the franchisees. “There is something really rewarding about seeing a project go from plans on paper to an actual store serving customers. We cannot wait to watch this location come to life.”

What drew this group to the Ellianos brand was the quality of the coffee, the convenience of the drive-thru model, and the brand’s genuine focus on community connection. For them, growing Ellianos in Central Florida is personal.

“Orlando is home for us and we knew we wanted to continue growing Ellianos in the area,” they shared. “After seeing the relationships that have grown through our Winter Springs location, we are excited for the opportunity to become part of another local community and introduce Ellianos to even more people.”

“We are so excited to see this team bring their second Ellianos location to Orlando,” said an Ellianos Coffee spokesperson. “They have proven that they understand what it means to serve a community, and we could not be more proud to grow alongside them. The Semoran Boulevard corridor is going to be a great home for Ellianos and we cannot wait to see what they build there.”

Known for their handcrafted espresso drinks and crave-worthy breakfast items, Ellianos Coffee has earned a loyal following across the Southeast. Popular menu favorites include the smooth and bold Signature Creations, refreshing Freezers, and their savory breakfast grit bowls—featuring creamy grits topped with eggs, cheese, and proteins like bacon or sausage. With a reputation for fast, friendly service and high-quality ingredients, Ellianos delivers a drive-thru coffee experience that keeps guests coming back.

Over the past year, Ellianos has seen significant growth, with stores signed or in development across ten U.S. states. As the brand continues to build awareness throughout the Southeast, Ellianos is actively seeking franchise partners across the region and beyond.
