The 45-minute session was amazing, and I’ll definitely be back. Afterwards, I treated myself to a Happy Go Lucky watermelon drink and a slice of crumb cake.

“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.“

“Great place to chill and have wine“

“Best bubble tea ever! The owner recommended an iced peach black tea espresso (hope I got that right) — a surprisingly amazing combo. I’ll definitely be back for more. The taro bubble tea and mango smoothie were also spot on, with none of that powdery or syrupy taste I can’t stand. My daughter loved the macaron and devoured the rainbow marshmallow treat we got for later. We will be back very soon!“

“Stopped by Sol Cafe recently and it’s such a hidden gem! This locally owned spot just opened not long ago, and the owners are super sweet and welcoming — you can tell they really care about the place and their customers.

We ordered the Coca Amor crepes (strawberry, banana, chocolate, pistachio cream) and the Crepe Tatin (dulce de leche, caramelized apples, and crème anglaise), and both were amazing. Everything tasted fresh and made to order — even the crepe batter is prepared fresh for each order, which makes the wait totally worth it. The crepes were perfectly thin, soft, and really flavorful, and the caramelized apples with dulce de leche were especially good.

For drinks, we tried the honey matcha, which was smooth and not overly sweet, and the refresher smoothie, a fusion of berries that was fresh and really refreshing.

Super cute atmosphere, great quality, and very friendly service. Definitely a hidden gem and already feels like a local favorite — worth visiting if you’re in the area.“

“Feels like being at home…“

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

“I live around the corner and visit every single day. Great place to relax, drink coffee, have a healthy lunch, and enjoy delicious pastries. The staff is amazing and they have a drive through in case you are in a rush.“

“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!“

“The Cuban sandwich and the coffee were delicious. Michelle provided outstanding service and was incredibly helpful. She gladly helped us substitute the bread to accommodate my son’s special diet, and she was kind, friendly, and smiling throughout our visit. I definitely recommend this place—five stars!“

“Very clean and organized. Food is very tasty. Melisa was our waitress. Very polite and cheerful. Explain the food and vine Very well. It's our first time eating Argentina food. Melisa went out of her way to make sure wr had everything we needed. Excellent service by her. I will return for the food and for Melisa to wait on us. See you soon“

“Absolutely some of the best pastries and breakfast food I have encountered in a long time.“

“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!“

“Beautiful coffee shop with all the baked goodies you could want. And fabulous juices got to have that beet heat.“

“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!😋“

“Excellent place! I love the coffee and toasts😍“

“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!“
