Crooked Can Minneola: Food Vendors, Hours and What’s Still Coming
Pizza, Brazilian steak, cheesesteaks, coffee and sweets share one market. Here is what visitors can plan around and which vendors still carry opening notices.
THE LCN BREAKDOWN
WHAT HAPPENED
Crooked Can’s Minneola market combines the brewery with food counters, shared seating and an outdoor patio.
WHY IT MATTERS
Vendor schedules differ, so a brewery visit does not guarantee every kitchen or counter is serving.
WHO IT AFFECTS
Residents and visitors planning meals, coffee stops or group outings can compare different dining options at one location.
WHAT CHANGES
The listed lineup includes pizza, Brazilian steak, cheesesteaks, empanadas, barbecue, coffee and doughnuts; four vendors still carry Coming Soon labels.
WHAT'S NEXT
Check the specific counter before a late visit or online order. Daniel’s online ordering closes earlier than its counter, and some posted hours conflict.
FULL LCN REPORT
What Happened
Crooked Can’s Minneola location at 1600 Crooked Can Loop combines a brewery with a food market, shared tables and an outdoor patio. The dining lineup includes pizza, Brazilian steak, cheesesteaks, coffee, empanadas, barbecue and doughnuts.
Daniel’s Cheesesteak Express and Three Birds Express both describe operating Minneola counters. Other vendors have published menus or hours, while Kai Kai, Norigami, Pita Mediterranean Street Food and The Local Butcher still carry Coming Soon labels in the current vendor list checked October 2, 2026.
Those labels matter when planning a visit. Some entries marked Coming Soon also display hours, so a schedule by itself should not be treated as confirmation that a counter has opened.
Why It Matters
The market format lets people choose different meals and use common seating rather than agree on a single restaurant menu. One person can order pizza while another chooses a cheesesteak or coffee, with the brewery bar operating alongside the food counters.
The counters do not all keep the same schedule. A late brewery closing time is not a promise that every food vendor will remain open just as late, and online ordering can stop well before a kitchen’s in-person service ends.
Who It Affects
The guide is useful for Minneola residents and visitors planning a meal, a coffee stop or an outing with people who want different food. The Minneola brewery phone number is 352-386-5316; the Winter Garden number appearing elsewhere in the brand’s navigation is for a different location.
Visitors choosing a specific counter should check that vendor’s own schedule. Three Birds lists a 9 a.m. start, while most of the other listed counters begin at 11 a.m. A morning coffee trip and a late dinner therefore require different planning.
What Changes
AJ’s Pizza Joint offers New York, Detroit and Sicilian pizza styles, along with meatballs and salads. Its listed hours are 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and 11 a.m.–midnight Friday–Saturday. The Minneola contact number is 352-353-2700.
Braza’s menu centers on Brazilian picanha and steak sandwiches, with churrasco sides and appetizers. Its listed hours are 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Friday–Saturday. The counter can be reached at 321-527-9309.
Daniel’s Cheesesteak Express serves cheesesteaks, chicken-and-cheese sandwiches, wings and sides. Its counter lists 11 a.m.–10:30 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and 11 a.m.–11:30 p.m. Friday–Saturday. Customers order at the counter and use the market’s shared seating.
Three Birds offers coffee, pastries, breakfast items and sandwiches. Empanada & Co. lists daily service from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. This Little Piggy BBQ lists 11 a.m.–9 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and until 10 p.m. Friday–Saturday. Sir Benji’s Donuts is listed as closed Monday, with different closing times during the rest of the week.
What’s Next
No firm opening dates are established by the current Coming Soon labels for Kai Kai, Norigami, Pita Mediterranean Street Food or The Local Butcher. If one of those businesses is the reason for a trip, confirm service before traveling.
Daniel’s lists online ordering only from 11 a.m.–8:15 p.m. Monday–Thursday and 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Friday, with online ordering closed Saturday–Sunday. Those limits apply to online orders; its counter has a longer schedule. An unavailable online order does not necessarily mean the counter is closed.
Three Birds’ own page lists daily hours of 9 a.m.–7 p.m., while the market listing extends Friday–Saturday closing to 9 p.m. Because those listings disagree, visitors planning an evening coffee stop should call Three Birds at 352-386-5250 rather than rely on the later time.
Hours and opening status can change. For a group visit, confirm the particular counters everyone wants to use, especially when arriving early, staying late or ordering ahead.
