“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.“

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

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“What a hidden gem. I heard about it through family and tried a lot of what’s on the menu. The spicy beef empanadas were the most memorable. The chicken wasn’t dry. The aperol spritz mixed to perfection. The flank was cooked perfectly. Highly suggest the desserts. The atmosphere is very warm with the lights at the outdoor seating. And the staff very friendly. I will be coming back!“

“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. 😊“

“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!“

“Food is great!!!! Very clean facility.. Staff .. super friendly!“

“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!“

“Awesome place with great staff if you are around the area.“
