“Seriously and hands down my personal favorite empanada's in Fort Lauderdale!! The crust is perfectly flaky but yet chewy, they dont skimp on the filling and oh my the seasoning in the filling is DELICIOUS. Not to mention their home made Chimichuri sauce to pair with the empanadas too.

It is a little difficult to find, its tucked in the building but when you find it trust me you'll be going back. Parking is complementary at the valet if youre going here!

“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!“

“I love Loca Mocha I only go 5days a week lol. Mrs Silvia is the best her hospitality is amazing. Phil sure knows his way around the kitchen he makes everything with love.

“Great friendly service, best price on the beach! hidden gem“

“This is a hidden gem here in Ft. Lauderdale. My colleagues came across this café about a week ago & we decided to check it out. I have since then been 3 times & every food experience is better than the last. With sky rocket high prices everywhere downtown it's nice to get an amazing quality meal that doesn't cost a minimum of $20. I've had their French toast with fresh blue berries and strawberries, their chicken rice bowl that was absolutely delicious & their turkey sandwich on rye bread. Food is fresh and the staff is super friendly. I will continue coming here. THANK YOU!!!!“

“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.“

“This place is really amazing. First of all the food is very good and creative. I work close by so I order from here often. One time they messed up my order and sent me a brand new order and asked me to share my incorrect order with others in the office. How they catered to me and made me feel important and heard was so awesome. This place goes above and beyond for their customers!!!!“

“We got stranded due to our flight cancellation and slept in a crappy hotel near this cafe; but had breakfast in this place. Amazing food, amazing owners which made the start of our day great! Thanks for the egg whites omelette with no oil and extra egg and the flat white and the French toast. The sourdough toast is top notch.“

“The place never misses! Probably my 12th time here and each time it's perfect. Great place to relax or get work done. Ryan and Laura were working today. They were friendly (important), and they made a hell of a drink, (more important! Best coffee in Fort Lauderdale.“

The food was delish. I ordered a cheese omelet with tomatoes. It was cooked perfectly! Also hashbrowns and wheat toast.
The service was wonderful. It was not crowded at all.
Everything is cooked fresh.
I do recommend trying this place out. It's family-owned and a lovely family they are.“

Sooo good! They also have great coffee & bakery items. I love this place and highly recommend it! Best of all the customer service is the best!“

“This place offers a truly distinct menu filled with creatively prepared, healthy options. During our mural work nearby, they graciously hosted our artists' group, and their hospitality was beyond description. The food they serve is not only incredibly delicious but also nutritious. The cafe is quiet and cozy. It was inspiring to see many customers working on their computers. Highly recommend to give it a try!“
