“Just discovered PORFA Coffee in Oakland Park and I’m obsessed. If you haven’t been yet, go. I’ll be here every morning from now on.“

“What a gem! I stopped at La Bottega Caffè for coffee on my way to the beach, and I’m so happy I found this place! I had the smoked salmon tartina, a stuffed croissant, and a cappuccino—everything was excellent. The pastry had just the right amount of sweetness, which I loved, and the cappuccino was the perfect pairing.

The staff was so warm and welcoming, making the visit even better. Such a delicious start to a beach day. I’ll definitely be coming back! ☕🥐“

“My favorite weekend brunch spot. Staff is always kind and food is comforting. My waiter today, Jordan, was amazing with table. Even with my 6 year old daughter, who asked if we knew him lol. So welcoming as always. I now consider myself a regular here lol“

“Wells is everything you’d want in your local coffee shop. This spot is quieter than the Flagler village spot where they roast the beans I believe but still very vibey. Their coffee is tasty and an iced latte especially hits the spot in these hot summer days in Florida. I have tried some of their beans for brewing espresso at home and it was solid- would buy again. As for getting here, they got some bike parking too so it’s perfect to stop by pre or post ride. Ample car parking for a grab and go as well!“

“This place is a wonderful surprise, it's like Ali Baba's cave...an exceptional little restaurant“

“Delicious empanadas, I asked for a Mocha frappe and it was delicious. Nice and relaxing music on the place 🤩“

“Cuban sandwich outstanding rice and beans delicious empanadas chicken totally delicious“

“Super happy with our experience here! They were friendly, quick, and provided us with great tasting drinks and banana bread! Also tons of space outside to sit and our daughter had a blast looking out at the water munching on some good banana bread! Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a high quality coffee at a good price.“

“This is a quaint and delicious coffee spot. They have legit Colombian eats too. I got a pistachio latte and a prosciutto bliss toast. Chef’s kiss! Simple ingredients but filling and tasty breakfast to start all my day. I’m coming back for the arepas!“

“Found this great little homemade pasta restaurant on an internet search. Thank goodness! A wonderful ambiance supported by an interactive staff and superb food. The manager was very engaging and certainly proud of the menu and their homemade pasta. The entrees (see photos) were great and the Bruschetta was fabulous. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience.“

“I love this place! Every order feels like it’s made with love, and you can taste the difference. The quality, attention to detail, and friendly service make every visit special. It’s the kind of coffee shop you want to keep coming back to! ☕✨“

“It’s delicious, healthy breakfast 🍳 Friendly smiley faces. 😍“

“I came for one doughnut… and left questioning all my life choices.

I was staying nearby and accidentally stumbled upon Parlor Doughnuts. Let me just say… this wasn’t a stop. It was a spiritual awakening.

If you’ve never had a cake doughnut, prepare yourself. These aren’t the sad little doughnuts sitting in a gas station display case. These are fluffy, buttery, crispy-on-the-outside, melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces. One bite and I seriously considered extending my vacation just to come back the next morning.

Pro tip: Get there EARLY! They close at 3 PM, and the best flavors disappear faster than free pizza in an office break room. If you show up late, don’t blame the doughnut gods.

And before you order, download the rewards app! You’ll get $5 off your first purchase, which basically means the universe is rewarding you for making excellent life decisions.

Fair warning: You might tell yourself you’re “just getting one.” That’s adorable. I said the same thing… and somehow walked out with a box.

10/10. Zero regrets. My waistline may disagree, but my taste buds are still sending thank-you notes.“

“Every aspect of the experience was above average. And the priming is fair and a real value for the quality of the food. But especially memorable was the service.

Jackie was attentive and so pleasant. We observed her chatting with Guests, making menu suggestions and her personality was upbeat and genuinely friendly.

We'll be back and will bring our friends, largely because of the great service and the food quality.“

“New spot, good food, good coffee, good people. What more could you ask for? I got the bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and a chocolate croissant and they were both very good. Staff is friendly and even though it's tucked away behind a hotel it is worth stopping in.“

“I had a great experience at Pura Vida Miami! The food was fresh and delicious, and everything was beautifully presented. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel very welcome. I also loved the atmosphere — it’s such a nice place to enjoy a healthy breakfast or lunch. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing vibe and great food. Staff is friendly and it’s a much easier better value than chain stores like Pure Vida.“

“Ubicación perfecta fácil ingreso, con estacionamiento amplio, hermoso y acogedor local, temperatura perfecta, una inexplicable atención que te hace sentir en familia. Y el mejor café de Florida. Me encantó los smoothies, el croissant breakfast… y voy casi todos los días por que da gusto desayunar en este espléndido restaurante, ah no dejes de probar los jugos. 🤩“

“We absolutely love this location. The food is always great, the atmosphere is wonderful, and everyone working here is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Ash especially stands out as such a genuine, polite, and kind person. She always makes us feel welcome. Truly a great place with an amazing team, and one we always enjoy coming back to!“

“Being new to the area, I’ve tried a lot of coffee shops looking for good quality speciality lattes. My husband and I tried out professor perks about a month ago and have been regular customers since then! Their specialty lattes are very unique and always consistently amazing. They also roast their own coffee in house and it’s not acidic or burnt at all.
Hector makes the best pbj lattes!! Highly recommend coming here, it will become your favorite :)“

“Lester's Diner Fort Lauderdale Fl. Just so you all know, because everything was so good here, we ate here 5 times in a week, all were 5-star ratings. We were in a hotel down the street because of hurricane Milton evacuation so we thought we would try this place. Every meal we had there was very good, and the service was great. Thanks to all our servers Carolyn, Shawna, Alicia, Sarah, JT to Jessica all were suburb. I don't give out many 5 stars, but this place deserves it. I wish there was a Lester’s over where we live on the southwest side of the state as we most likely would be in there every day. Tuesday morning 10-8-24 at 9:50am This place looked good, so we wanted to try it for breakfast. This was our very first time here. They were busy and most of the front was filled. This place was clean and neat and had a 50's vibe to the interior. Our waitress Shawna came over fast, introduced herself and gave us our coffee. We ordered the 2+2+2 which is 2 Eggs, 2 Sausages or Bacon and 2 French Toast or Pancakes. My wife ordered the same thing but with Bacon. Our friend ordered a 1/2 order of Biscuits and Sausage Gravy. Even though they were busy, our order came out fast. My Eggs were done perfectly, and the Sausage tasted good. The French Toast was hot and very good. My wife’s Eggs were done perfectly, and her Bacon was browned just like she wanted. Her French Toast was very tasty. Our friend's Biscuits and Sausage gravy was very good. Everything was hot and tasted great. I can't wait to get back there for dinner so I can make a more involved review. We went back for dinner around 5pm the same day and got seated immediately. I ordered Chopped Steak with Mashed Potatoes, Coleslaw and Salad. I liked the fact our waitress asked how I wanted my Chopped Steak done. The wife ordered the Salmon with Baked Potato, Coleslaw and Salad, our friend ordered the foot long Hot Dog with Fries. They served our Salads quickly. Everything tasted fresh, one thing I loved was that our Salads were chilled. Our main order came out shortly after our Salads. They looked great and filled up our plates. My Chopped Steak was done perfectly, Mashed Potatoes were good, and of course the Coleslaw was very delicious. My wife’s Salmon was done and tasted great. She did say her Baked Potato tasted a little old. She loved her Coleslaw as well as her Salad. Our friend's foot long Hot Dog was done perfectly, and he loved the Fries, they did have some extra fried onions on the plate along with his dog. All our food was hot and very tasty. Wednesday 10-9-24 we stopped for breakfast. We got seated fast and coffee cups were filled at that time. I got the House Special which consisted of 3 Eggs, 1 Smoked Sausage, Home Fries and Rye Bread. My wife ordered the Belgium Waffle with fresh Strawberries. Our ordered came out fast and it was hot and so good. One of the best breakfasts out that I ever had for sure. We stopped back for dinner same day at 6:30pm. I ordered the Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Filling, Carrots and Peas. I also got a house Salad on the side. My wife ordered the same thing, and our friend ordered the 6 BBQ Wings. When JT brought our food out it was hot, large portions and so tasty. It was the best Turkey platter I ever had at a restaurant. Our friend loved his BBQ wings as they were meaty and very tasty. Thursday 10-10-24 we stopped for our last meal as we were leaving to go back home next morning. I got the Chopped Steak, Mashed Potatoes, and side Salad again. My wife got the Roast Beef sandwich. Our friend got a side Caesar Salad. Service was fast food was hot and all was very good. I do recommend this place and believe you all need to try it. Prices are reasonable, the servings are large, a great value for your money. I gave this place 5 stars, for the great tasting food, large portions, and service all above and beyond.

“Authentic Israeli style shawarma is one of the hardest things to find in this country. They absolutely nail it at Friendship Grill. The food can cure antisemitism. Seriously, it is made with love and delicious beyond words. Make sure to ask for the amba sauce. It is a sweet, slightly spicy sauce made from fermented mango and several spices. You will not regret it. To be honest, it is expensive. One shawarma pita with no sides is $36. But you are right in the middle of Las Olas, and it is getting harder and harder for restaurants to survive on what people think prices should be. So do not fault them for that. Your money is also going to a genuinely good cause. Look up Chabad. Their charity is legendary worldwide, and the restaurant is directly affiliated with them. Also, Spencer did a great job taking my order today. If you want something truly unique that you cannot get just anywhere, while also supporting Israel and treating yourself to an incredible meal, go to Friendship Grill. Just do not come Friday evening.“

“Everything is fantastic and the owners are super nice!“

“I have been a regular at Sip Java for over 10 years. The owner, Bob, has created a relaxing, chill vibe and does a great job teaching the baristas how to make quality espresso drinks.

I like that you can enjoy your food/drink either indoors or outdoors.“

“Finally!!! Coffee that tastes like coffee! It’s not watered down and the coffee to milk ratio is chef’s kiss. The vanilla cold foam is good too and not too sweet. I got a 12 oz vanilla latte with vanilla cold foam. I may be getting coffees from now on.“

“Great cafe, nice working and meeting size, great drinks. If you don't like your drink, They'll make it again or a different one - I only did that once.

Service is always with a smile and delightful. Natalia esp was wonderful. Can't beat 50%off with cap 1 cc“

“The best coffee and the best pastry“

“Everything!!! Beth Anne…..with a “e” made our experience amazing! We were visiting from out of town and she was the best. We brought my 82 year old mom back the next day! The food, staff and adorable decor was to remember! Thank you for making a special memory for me, my daughter and mom. Three generation of love!“

“I worked with Gisele from Jacksonville, FL to have a birthday cake delivered in the Ft Lauderdale area. She is very pleasant to work with and helped me with any changes needed along the way, very responsive, great service and recipient was happy with the cake. This was a short notice request and the turnaround was quick. Thanks so much and if I need a cake in this area I will definitely order again“

“My husband and I started going to Mya Papaya a few JJ the ago and now we are there a couple times a weeks and bringing friends. I am a newish vegan and love the extensive vegan and omnivore choices for families like ours!“

“Delicious healthy food, great coffee and teas at reasonable prices. Dog friendly. My favorite local spot to relax, grab a coffee and a breakfast wrap while I walk my dog in the morning before I start my workday.“

“Very good food. This is my second time here, the guy in the front is really nice and helpful. this is the best late night spot. if you haven’t tried it yet don’t wait. I had the chicken bowl this time and still want to try more things from the menu. If i could give it more than 5 stars i would. Thank you.“

“This coffee truck is located inside Emily’s gardens along w other trucks. The outdoor patio offers many tables and chairs along with fans, a sandbox with construction cars for the little ones, a garden and a small stage for people to play music. They sell different styles of coffee, teas and pastries. All the drinks we ordered all came out quick and refreshing. It’s an inviting and welcoming atmosphere, but consider that specially during summer, it gets very hot and humid outside.“

“Delicious pastries, true French flavors pan au chocolate, pan au raisins, and the loveliest and most flavorful tarts. Have been visiting the Farmer's Market in the Gables for 17 years-always a friendly smile as a bonus. Thank you for sharing your skill and talents!!“

“Excelente Servicio y buena hospitalidad“

“It’s always a vibe highly recommend“

“Great spot for events and live music! The staff is awesome and the vibe is always right. They also host some great stand up comedy nights.“

“Mi opinión es q es un excelente lugar, muy agradable y acogedor, el servicio es muy bueno. Lugar excepcional para pasar una tarde tomando un delicioso café charlando con amigos Lo recomiendo 100%“

“the people there are truly amazing“

“Great experience! Amazing deserts!! We stopped by from Orlando, for an authentic French Bakery experience. You wont regret it.“

“I was here in the off season so while I did make a reservation there was no need to. I was pleasantly surprised that this place had good food. I ordered a short stack of dulce de liche pancakes, fruit side, and bacon. There were 3 huge pancakes that delivered on the chocolate to pancake ratio. The fruit was fresh and a good mix of melons and berries. The bacon arrived as I requested, crispy. The only disappointment was my drink, the bloody Maria, which was bland and not good. They offered to switch it out to something else but I was already finished eating so they took it off my check when I requested because I hadn't drank any of it other than to taste.“

“When In Fort Lauderdale there is only one place for your Breakfast, Cuban coffee and pastry treats and sandwiches, Elaine and Tay are going to give you the Royal treatment and bring a big appetite, your going to want to try everything.💯❤💯“

“After 2 disappointing visit to the Dunkin on commercial and federal which i highly recommend no one visists this dunkin Take the short ride down commercial towards lauderdale by the sea turn right on A1A and head south about a mile it will be on the left. This is the most personable and interacting staff I have seen at a chain business. Kudos to management for allowing employees to enjoy their work and talking it up with the customers which you don't see much anymore. On the weekends there might be a line but the wait is worth the service you receive. Then head back up A1A to the pavilion in Lauderdale by the Sea and enjoy the beach the waves the sun and your Dunkin“

“Ray was amazing! I came after they had closed on a Saturday afternoon and he still took the time to allow me to patron them. This was my first visit and I will be back. They offer tea flights, coffee flights, food and more. The atmosphere was great. Very nice decor. Again service was EXCEPTIONAL, thank you Ray! His recommendation of the lavender coffee was spot on. It was delicious! Please go support local and visit The Modern Rose (Google has their name as Kahve Coffee but it’s the Modern Rose) today!“
