20 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale

“Andres gave us great breakfast service. Great value & atmosphere ✅ If you want a sweet treat order pancakes“

“La Corte Café in Fort Lauderdale is one of those places you walk into once and immediately know you’ll be back. It has a calm, cozy vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The first thing I noticed was how welcoming the staff were. They greet you with real warmth, not the forced kind, and they actually take the time to explain the menu if you seem unsure and build a personal relationship with every costumer.

The food is what really stood out to me. Everything tastes fresh, and you can tell they put real care into the way each dish is made. I ordered their empanadas and a cappuccino, and both were honestly some of the best I’ve had in the area.

The café itself is spotless and nicely decorated, with a mix of modern touches and a warm, home-style feel. It’s the kind of place where you can study, relax, or catch up with friends without feeling rushed.

Overall, La Corte Café is a hidden gem. The food is excellent, the service is genuine, and the whole place has a comforting atmosphere. If you’re in Fort Lauderdale and want something that feels both homey and special, this café is definitely worth a visit.“

“We went two days in a row and the service was amazing both days. The staff are attentive to all of the customers and made sure that everyone was happy with their drinks/food items. The owner was extremely welcoming as well. The atmosphere was superb and I cannot wait to go back.“

“The food was amazing the servers are so nice best breakfast place I’ve been to in a while“

“Candice’s knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile truly impressed me. She handled all my inquiries with patience and professionalism, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Candice to anyone seeking exceptional service!“

“Enjoy french patisserie? Check out Nanou French Bakery! I was visiting from Chicago and stopped in Nanou for breakfast. While I thoroughly enjoyed the iced coffee and bagel breakfast sandwich, the mille-feuille was something I could not pass up. If you're a fan of Bake Off, stop in for things you've only seen on Week 9 - they even had Religieuse (the nun choux thing).“

“Very good food and since I’m from NJ, I finally found a dinner that serves Jersey size portions. Awesome job, will definitely be back. Thanks guys 👍“

“Great food !! Must try the French toast!“

“Java & Jam is a local coffeehouse on Las Olas that also serves all day breakfast. Although I don’t drink coffee, the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha drink featured outside is really what lured me in. The atmosphere was chill with both inside seating and a covered patio area.

I ordered the Tri Color Quinoa salad along with the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha. When my drink was brought out, I could not wait to take the first sip. However, I found the matcha flavor to be light and the glass was filled with about 1/3 of ice. Also, my drink was not garnished with the chocolate bar as depicted and when I enquired, I was told by Kelly (our server) that they were out of garnish. Also note that there is an upcharge for alternate milks (oat, coconut & soy).

My salad was brought out promptly (15 mins) and it looked great and tasted even better. This mediterranean inspired combination of lettuce, cucumbers, chick peas and feta cheese dressed with a cilantro and tahini combination was truly delightful. It was fresh and refreshing at the same time.

Overall, Java & Jam is a great niche find on Las Olas, especially if you’re craving breakfast foods after the usual breakfast hours.“

“We found the restaurant to be a beautiful surprise. Elegant decor and great food with exceptional service. So nice to meet the owner and daughter who were very warm and personable. We’ll surely be back! Thank You for a lovely evening. 5 stars!! 💥💥💥💥💥“

“I will not EVER go back to this waffle house. The music is so loud you can't think or hear the rude unprofessional chic taking orders. I had to ask her what she said 3xs until i just walked out. Get it together.“

“I’ve got to be honest—I walked into this IHOP fully expecting to hate it. My last memory of the place was grimy floors, a moldy smell, and a generally run-down vibe that made me avoid it for years. But something’s changed—big time.

The moment I stepped in, I was hit with that warm, nostalgic smell of pancakes instead of mildew. The place looked completely redone. The floors were spotless, the booths looked brand new, and everything felt fresh and welcoming. Even the lighting was brighter and softer—none of that harsh fluorescent glare I remembered. The atmosphere actually made me want to sit and stay awhile.

And then came the service. My server (Queen) was on point—friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy her job. The food? Hot, delicious, and exactly what I hoped for.

I walked in ready to be disappointed. But I just can’t find a single thing to complain about. So here it is: five stars. I’m glad I gave it another shot.

Honest moment. I had ChatGPT write this review for me, but everything that it said was what I told it to say. So consider it legit five stars.“

“great food, great customer service, 10/10 must try again!“

“Didn’t have my card with me and the waiter was nice enough to allow me to pay his PayPal and he paid the bill for me! Dude was thinking outside the box! In England we don’t use cards, everything is Apple Pay and the country who has made the iPhone didn’t have Apple Pay in ihop ha ha“
