“Amazing food, quick service. Old school diner experience that I miss sooooo much!!!“

“My husband, our child, and I visited this cafe on a Saturday morning and were delighted. The barista, a girl with long hair (unfortunately I don't know her name), was wonderful. The coffee and croissants were delicious. And she kindly warmed up my coffee for me, as I was busy with the child and my coffee had cooled down a bit. In general, I recommend this place.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“Very delicious. The food was amazing. Very special“

“La Boulangerie Boul’Mich has such a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere — everyone there is genuinely friendly, which makes the experience even better. The pistachio croissant is absolutely delicious, and definitely worth coming back for.“

“This was my first time visiting Rose Cafe & Restaurant, which recently expanded and rebranded with a full bar and dinner service, officially opening the new concept in October 2025. The space is absolutely beautiful ~ roses everywhere, elegant decor, and very Instagrammable from the moment you walk in. One thing that stood out, however, was a very strong scent sprayed in the hallway upon entry. My friend, who is sensitive to strong smells, felt sick afterward. It didn’t linger heavily at the table, but for anyone sensitive to fragrance, this could definitely be an issue. As for the food, our Eggs Benedict initially came out overcooked, but our server Jonathan A. handled it perfectly. He immediately took it back, asked the chef to remake it, and the second round was spot on. Great recovery and attentive service on his part. I ordered a hazelnut cappuccino, not realizing that cinnamon lettering would be added on top. I personally don’t tolerate cinnamon, so I removed the foam and didn’t say anything, but this might be something for management to consider ~ asking guests beforehand would be appreciated. Overall, the service was good, valet is offered upon arrival, and the ambiance is lovely. While it didn’t completely blow my mind, it’s still a beautiful spot with solid service. All things considered, I’d honestly give it 4 stars and would return, especially for the atmosphere.“

“I stopped in today around brunch time! I got a steak & egg sandwich and large iced latte with caramel and vanilla. My boyfriend got a bacon & cheese croissant! Which were both amazing. The server Dolly was super helpful and sweet. I would definitely recommend to others! 🤍“

“We had such a wonderful experience here, thanks to Lisette! She made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in and took such great care of us throughout our meal. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, the coffee rich and smooth, and the soup was full of flavor—comforting and authentic. Lisette’s friendly personality and attentive service really elevated the whole experience. We’ll definitely be coming back, and highly recommend this spot for anyone who wants great Cuban food with genuinely warm hospitality.“

“If you want a no frills, simple, exceptionally well priced, and good spot for breakfast or lunch then THIS IS FOR YOU!
I’ve had enough paying $25 for two scrambled eggs on avocado toast. The family and I stumbled into this place (actually had to search for it because it’s in what looked like a closed office building) and we are happy we did. The place is kind of like a time capsule from the decor to the wait staff and the prices.
Reason for the 4 stars is that some of the stuff that doesn’t get much attention seemed a bit dirty, like the blinds.“

“Beautiful work with my wedding cake It was perfect and absolutely delicious Highly recommend“

“MUST VISIT!!!! Our flight was delayed so we hung out here for a few hours and let me tell you it’s phenomenal! Sylvia is a sweetheart and the best way to describe the food and atmosphere is healing. It felt like I was eating my grandmothers soup and the Cuban was authentically perfect. As a chef myself they I rate many gold stars for this place. This may have been the best part of the trip !“

“Lilou is very amicable and offers great service. Loved the food there!“

“We dined at Village Café on Tuesday, March 14th and we had Liz and Angie as our waitresses, and both were very responsive and made several suggestions on the menu and answered all of our questions. Miguel is the chef at the restaurant and every dish is an artistic adventure! They take reservations which can be made off of their web site, and the brunch can be busy so a reservation is recommended. Our daughter and three of her friends are here for Spring Break and they had breakfast at the café and suggested that we try the restaurant. Here is some background on the restaurant: We are a little cafe one block away from the beach, with a lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff. We like to make customers feel like they are at home. We serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Village Cafe is an American contemporary fusion restaurant, located just one block away Fort Lauderdale Beach, offering an unforgettable experience with a tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner menu, all this in a nice atmosphere and a friendly staff. They have an excellent wine list to make purchases by the bottle and wines by the glass with many choices. The homemade house rolls with two spreads, one cilantro and the other with a kick of spice. We tried the following: Tuna Ceviche: Fresh tuna, mango, toasted peanuts, onions, cucumbers, olive oil, topped with lime juice, cilantro and aji limo Quinoa Tabule $28 Tricolor quinoa, onions, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, lime juice, served with four breaded jumbo shrimp Grilled New York Steak 10 oz Grilled steak marinated with an aromatic and charcoal-flavored oil. Deconstructed Key Lime Pie We ordered dessert because of all the reviews that complimented the key lime pie that we split. Thank you for a wonderful meal! We enjoyed it so much, that we plan to go back to try the brunch!“

“The Java Joe scrambler plate is my favorite delicious and just right to get me going and keep me going all day. And then, of course there’s a dark chocolate pecan bar yummy Yum Yum!😋“

“My daughter wanted macaroons on her bday cake. We've tried a few places in the area, but this place had the best variety! I got 12 different flavors and they still had some flavors we didn't try this time. They were beautiful and tasted great! I went right when they opened on a Thursday, very polite. We will definitely come again“

“Sip Java makes Starbucks feel ordinary. Starbucks is good—but Sip Java is something special. The coffee here is beautifully balanced: smooth as silk, never over-roasted, never bitter, just rich and perfectly crafted.

The atmosphere is just as wonderful. The ladies behind the counter are always warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy, which gives the whole place an easy, joyful energy. It’s the kind of spot where you can linger with your coffee, relax, and feel like you’ve found a little pocket of Fort Lauderdale that still has soul.

Sip Java is one of those rare, old-school gems that gives a neighborhood its character. I sincerely hope it never disappears. ☕✨“

“Amazing family breakfast & lunch spot. Been a proud customer of this amazing restaurant for over 14 years. The quality & customer service has never wavered. I will always bring friends and family and recommend to anyone wanting a quality meal.“

“We landed early afternoon & headed straight to Café Bastille-Fort Lauderdale in Fort Lauderdale for brunch. I'd heard rave reviews about this spot & it exceeded expectations. We kicked off with a passionfruit margarita & a bacon bloody mary, both bursting with flavor. For our meal, we opted to share the truffle croque madame with a side salad & breakfast potatoes. The toast was wonderfully light & fluffy, & the potatoes had the perfect crunch. We couldn't leave without getting a NY pistachio croissant. The entire experience was enchanting. I'm already looking forward to our next visit before leaving Florida.“

“It doesn’t get much better than Taste of the City. I have been coming here for many years. The food and I had about everything is always hot, fresh and delicious. The owner Debra is one of the nicest and most genuine people you can ever meet. I can eat anywhere from the Hard Rock, Ft. Lauderdale to Miami Beach but I prefer to come here. I have been very lucky this have this great restaurant within walking distance. The waitress is always friendly and keeps everything moving smoothly. Your drink is never empty. I only wish they were open for dinner. But then again Debra and the stuff need the time to rest. And we should or at least I should. Take Debra to dinner for having such a wonderful place. And really this is the place where everyone knows your name.“

“Great place to chill and have wine“

“I went earlier today to get a coffee and got amazing customer service by Genesis, I told her I liked my coffee not to dark and on the sweeter side and she gave me exactly what I asked for, she was super sweet and very kind, I’ll definitely be coming back and will be recommending with friends and family. 😊“

“My brother has been raving about this place for years. Today my family and I finally went (don’t know what took us so long). Everything was AMAZING! The staff, the ambiance and of course the food. It’s a family owned restaurant that takes amazing pride in what they do and what they are putting out.
My son ordered a Mango Juice that came out like a smoothie, of course he only gave each of us 1 sip because it was that good.
We ordered 2 empanadas; the spinach and ham and cheese, both were out of this world. My son had a pizza that was served with fresh melted cheese and a thin crust. My mom ordered a chicken wrap that she is still talking about; the fresh veggies, toasted wrap and delicious fresh chicken. I had the chicken Milanese and my father had the steak Milanese. Both came on a delicious bread with fresh lettuce and tomato. The sandwiches are massive and definitely can be shared or saved for dinner, which we did. The chef came out, at my mom’s request so she can thank him and give him a hug. He was so appreciative and kind. We will be going back to show love to this family owned business not only for their delicious food, but for their warm hospitality and heart! Everyone needs to RUN here!!!!“

“This food is really good!!! Flamin' Grill and Cafe all the way for me.“

“I don't usually write reviews, however, this place is so good that I had to shout them out. The food not only taste fresh, but it is so fairly priced it's incredible. After my first visit in, I have been greeted by first name every single time. The breakfast burrito is amazing, the pitas are all so great, the portions are plenty, everything is just great. My only advice, when going for lunch, try to order online because they can get super busy and lunch takes a bit longer to come out, but that is because everyone keeps coming back for more! Shoutout to Sofi's, thank you for everything!“

“everything they cook is extremely tasty, make sure you order one of their 3 specials which changes daily!!“

“I had an egg and cheese croissant sandwich! It was delicious and at a reasonable price. The owner is very friendly!“

“It’s an amazing spot to enjoy a sandwich or dessert and they have amazing empanadas. They have fresh juice and plenty of beverage options for you . And even a little shop inside where you can buy additional items you may need . Tables are always clean and employees are super nice 🩷“

“Love the wraps at Juice Therapy!“

“Chef MN is a hidden gem on the fifth floor of an office building. The quinoa bowls are amazing - packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a must-visit spot for a healthy lunch or snack.“

“What an amazing coffee shop!! Enjoying being a regular here this week! Coffee and atmosphere is awesome!!“

“Stop by with my son this morning to pick up breakfast. Everything was absolutely phenomenal! From how delicious everything was to how impeccably clean the whole store is and how incredibly nice the owner and staff is. I cannot wait to go back again. Super happy to finally have a Vicky bakery in Fort Myers.“
