CALI Coffee Minneola: A Highway 27 Drink and Breakfast Stop

CALI Coffee’s Minneola location is a practical candidate for a drink stop on US Highway 27, especially when the people in the car do not all want coffee. The useful distinction is its mix of coffee, customizable refreshers and compact food choices, rather than an assumed café table or a claim about the best latte in town. This guide focuses on the verified branch at 825 US Hwy 27, Minneola, FL 34715, and on how its published hours and menu fit different kinds of stops.

We checked the official sources on October 22, 2026. This is a researched planning guide, not a report of a visit or tasting. Keep the Minneola directory entry handy, but use the business’s own location and menu pages for changing details. CALI is a multi-location brand; another branch’s closing time or ordering availability should not substitute for this address.

Use the Minneola schedule, not a chain-wide assumption

The official location finder lists Minneola among its opened locations. Its published schedule is Monday through Friday, 5:30 a.m.–8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 7 a.m.–8 p.m. The later weekend opening matters if you are arranging an early departure with friends: a weekday routine does not transfer unchanged to Saturday.

Save the complete Highway 27 address when sharing the stop. This is Minneola, not a downtown Clermont storefront. Check the locator again before leaving, particularly on holidays, and follow its branch-specific directions rather than choosing a similarly named search result. We have not verified a particular parking space, seating arrangement or step-free route. If those determine whether the stop works for you, confirm them directly instead of treating a general brand description as a complete description of the premises.

Choose a drink family before choosing a name

The current menu separates signature coffees, cold brew, refreshers, shakes and smoothies, and chai and matcha. That organization is more useful than trying to memorize every colorful name. Start with whether you want coffee, a fruit-flavored drink or something closer to dessert, then choose the preparation and flavor.

Two coffee examples make the distinction clear: Beverly combines caramel and vanilla, while Snickerdoodle pairs white chocolate with cinnamon. Cold brew has its own section rather than being interchangeable with every iced latte. A group order can therefore be written as a short set of choices: drink family, size, hot or cold preparation, flavor and any requested adjustment. Ask what is available at Minneola that day before making the whole group’s plan depend on one item.

A refresher name does not tell you the base

CALI’s drink-menu PDF presents refreshers as a choice of base, flavor and customization. Tea, lemonade, fizzy soda and the brand’s Hero Energy option are distinct bases. The same flavor name can therefore refer to different kinds of drink. Specify the base when ordering for someone else instead of simply asking for their favorite color or flavor.

The PDF also lists milk choices, sweetness adjustments and additions such as an espresso shot or cold foam. Use those options to describe what you actually want, not to infer that every possible combination is available. If you want to avoid caffeine, ask about the complete recipe and chosen base. “Not coffee” is not enough information to establish that a drink is caffeine-free.

Food changes the timing of an evening stop

The official food menu includes a bagel with cream cheese, egg-white bites, a sourdough grilled cheese and several named handheld choices. Bestie uses a maple Belgian waffle with sausage and egg; Dreamer is an egg, potato, cheese and green-chile tortilla option. These are useful distinctions when one passenger wants breakfast-style food and another only wants a drink.

There is an important timing note: the food PDF says hot items are available until 35 minutes before closing. Applied to the locator’s published 8 p.m. Minneola closing time, that suggests 7:25 p.m. as the point not to plan beyond for hot food. That is a planning calculation, not confirmation of stock or a guaranteed last-order time. Check with the branch if food is the main reason for an evening trip; arriving before closing alone does not settle the question.

Read nutrition information for the actual order

The nutrition guide, dated August 12, 2026, is organized by drink and food category and includes standard-recipe allergen information. It explains that substitutions and portioning can change the figures, and that shared preparation equipment can introduce allergens beyond those listed. A sugar-free option symbol is not a promise about every ingredient in a finished customized drink.

For anyone ordering around a dietary requirement, first identify the exact item, then discuss the proposed changes with a team member. Keep toppings and milk choices in that conversation. This guide does not certify an order as allergy-safe or recommend a drink for a medical condition.

A well-defined stop is an easier stop

For an early weekday start, the Minneola opening time is the useful detail. For a mixed group, settle drink bases before the order. For an evening snack, check the hot-food cutoff rather than only the closing time. Those three decisions make this branch easier to fit into a Highway 27 outing without promising speed, seating or availability.
