Founded by Orlando creative and entrepreneur Quay Hu, Qreate Coffee was born from a desire to merge two passions: coffee and photography. Quay’s first location opened in the Mills District, featuring both a cafe and a creative studio. It quickly became a hub for artists, photographers, and coffee lovers.
Now with their second location in Creative Village, Quay continues to attract Orlando’s growing community of creators, entrepreneurs, and students. Located just off I-4 with easy parking, the space has become a favorite spot for business meetings, social gatherings, and inspiration.
“We wanted to create a place where creators could come together,” Quay told Orlando Life. “Our drinks are crafted with care and everything we do, from the coffee to our merch, is about creativity.”
That creative spirit extends to Qreate’s merchandise line of shirts and tote bags, which is locally printed at Impress Ink and features collaborations with local artists.
One customer, Justin Spears, who travels often across the country, describes Qreate Coffee as “the kind of hidden gem you hope never gets too popular but absolutely deserves to.” He told the Orlando Life that the cafe “embodies the kind of local spirit and intentional curation that cities need more of.”
Luis Garcia, CEO of PETE Learning in Orlando, told Orlando Life, “I think of Quay as a great example of reinvention, but more importantly how talent and human qualities translate to success regardless of the business environment.”
