“I’ve seen an improvement here recently so I’m updating my review from 5 years ago. I’m not waiting as long for my order and it appears to be well staffed. I haven’t ordered a smoothie in a long time so I can’t comment on that but the new tropic bowls are absolutely delicious. I’ve tried every single one of them. The “granola” topping tastes like crushed up cookies and I love it.Vegetarian options: All smoothies and bowls“
“It was the first time Starbucks had gotten my name right without having to spell it out to them, albeit I did use the app. I've had the app and have created an account since 2019/2020, but it was the first time paying through the app. The employee at the register was very kind and allowed me to use the BOGO for today (Thurs, March 21, 2024) even though I've never used the app to pay for items. You can only get the BOGO if you've purchased via the app before.The hazelnut oat milk expresso coffee along with the passionfruit pineapple drink was delicious. It was quick to order and pick up by walking in the store.“

“I got the Spring Ting Platter and I was so delighted. The Mac and cheese is one of the best I've ever had and the jerk chicken had a crunchy skin to it that gave so much texture. The staff is very welcoming and the atmosphere is comforting. The juices are also unique and great. It is a little pricey, but so with it. It was delicious and filling. I will definitely be coming back. This is what soul food should be!“
“Was looking forward to the Ceviche I had on our first night on vacation. I came back to have the Ceviche again a few days later since I loved it so much and the Ceviche was completely different. All shrimp…. Did not even taste like Ceviche. Was sooo disappointed. I wish they would have told us before we ordered or I would have gotten something else instead. Let your customers know if the menu changes. I walked through high winds and rain to come back to this restaurant before flying back home.“
“Our first time here and had gyros and a flourless chocolate cake! They were fantastic. Our server Leo was super nice and courteous. Loved him, too. Maitre’D and host were very professional. Fun atmosphere. We’ll be coming back here again and again!“
“Overall the food is great, but some of the drinks are over priced. Example a hot chocolate is $8 and a cup of chocolate milk is $5 which is a lot steeper than most of the places I have been to. Other than that, the food is very very good! I highly recommend it.“
“This little coffee shop has it all. I love that that make their own bread and you can choose how to prepare your breakfast. They have best croissants. We ordered the avocado toast which was delicious and a veggie omelette. The staff is great and super friendly. The decore is unique even in the bathroom and they have a mini toy booth in a corner oh and a Pac Man machine!!!!“
“Great ice cream spot in Coral Springs!! Stopped in to grab some ice cream and found it that all the ice cream is homemade. They have a flavor of the month and a flavor of the year. Big shout out to Jude, he was great at giving us the history of the store!“
“We had such a great meal here! Jumped in for the combo and it was a great way to explore the menu. The sriracha tzatziki was a big surprise. Ginger mule was a terrific cocktail and Brendon was a competent, friendly, and fun bartender. We will return.“
“Really enjoyed this cafe! Exceptional coffee and nice, unique breakfast bites. They also have a good variety of baked goods. Plenty of indoor seating and a few high chairs are available. Paid parking lot up front, there are two small steps to enter the restaurant.“
“We really enjoyed sampling their tacos! I want to come back and try more. The Angus beef taco as well as the shrimp taco I tried were my favorite! The chicken and waffle was okay but not as solid as I was hoping for. Super fun idea through. Reminded me of Bruxie from Southern California.Vegetarian options: They have a section of tacos that are Vegetarian but likely many could be made vegetarian as well.“
“First off the staff there are very nice and kind. There service there is impeccable, the vibes there are amazing, the bakery is a lovely place to get your baked goods, along with their food. Also to mention one of the staff named Dor is a an INCREDIBLE helpful employee that helped us a lot, and has a lot of patients. Over all I recommend this bakery!!!!“
“Last time, I gave this place a good review. Now, not so much. As a local, my friends and I laugh at how bad the bar service is. It's like they go out of their way NOT to make eye contact. I just sat at the bar for 10 minutes, with a dirty bar in front of me and never got service. Bartenders have no sense of urgency. Staff needs a good wake up call in our collective opinion! Happens over and over again...“
“Planta Queen on Las Olas is absolutely amazing. We ordered takeout (because it was Easter Sunday, and restaurants are packed!). We ordered seven different dishes, and we were blown away by each and every one. This fully vegan restaurant offers mainly Asian food that is fresh, beyond flavorful and totally different from your local Asian restaurant. They offer whole food items, no processed food, very fresh and unlike anything you've ever tasted before. Yes, they are expensive. And worth every penny. My taste buds had a real blast!! SO GOOD!!! It is a small chain with about 20 locations - many of them in Florida, but we're so glad there's a location near us!!! Try something truly different and so delicious for a change!!“
Dessert • $$
“They provide samples of different flavors, all delicious. We went to sit down at a nearby table while we wait and he walked the drink out to us. Very friendly here. Large was $9 which I thought was a very reasonable price for all the was in the drink.“
“At Quore you’ll find a tantalizing, unique, niche experience of ambiance and flavor. Boozy gelato that is the highest quality, wine, liquor and an assortment of coffee drinks - a great place for a date night to savor the bliss of love & gelato.“
“The food is amazing and the service makes you feel like you are visiting family. I highly recommend dining here! Everything can be made vegan too. They also sell their sauces which are all an explosion of flavor. For a unique dining experience, go now!“
“We visited Wicked Bread today for the first time after seeing it on Instagram. We drove about an hour and 20 minutes to get there and it was so worth it. The bread is the best cinnamon bread we have ever had! Dollywood in Pigeon Forge is very famous for their cinnamon bread and I love theirs but Wicked Bread is far more delicious. We can’t wait to bring some family back in a few weeks! And the decor is awesome!!!“
“This is my first time coming here.They have a nice menu selection where you can dine in, or take out.It's healthy- tasty food!I had a Chicken Champion Sandwich and Dirty Chai Tea which, is Chai Tea mixed with Expresso. It's totally delicious! I loved the after-taste!The ambiance is soothing, with Brazilian music playing softly in the background, and the decor is creative, fun and simple. It's a cute little Cafe.I simply loved their backyard. It reminded me of the quaint "hole -in-the-wall" restaurants that serves awesome food located in downtown in New York City, but it's here in Fort Lauderdale!I will definitely come back to this place and will bring my friends here too! ... or escape by myself from the everyday challenges that life brings to receive peaceful spiritual healing.“
“FREDDO, the ice cream parlor that captivates the senses with its exquisite variety of flavors and unmatched quality. The ice creams, creamy and richly prepared, awaken the palate with their intensity of flavor. The cozy and modern atmosphere perfectly complements the delicious offering, turning each visit into a sensory pleasure. FREDDO is not only an ice cream shop, it is a destination for those who seek perfection in every frozen bite.?“
Tacos • $$
“This is right off Hollywood beach, and is a super fun and friendly taco and burrito spot. The food here is solid, mahi mahi tacos are grilled, the way it’s supposed to be, not fried. Definitely recommend the fish tacos and the churrasco steak burrito, the burrito has a good blend of beans, rice and steak.Joseph was our water, and he’s super nice and attentive.“
“We had the pleasure of dining at Tokyo Sushi, and it was truly an exceptional experience. The highlight was undoubtedly the authentic sushi crafted by a master, a culinary journey that can only be savored in this establishment. Each piece was a testament to the finest traditions of sushi-making, using the freshest ingredients and showcasing the artistry of the sushi chef. But it wasn’t just the sushi and sashimi that impressed; the desserts and soups were equally gastronomic delights. For those seeking a genuine culinary adventure, Tokyo Sushi is a must-visit destination where you can savor all their bestselling creations. It’s an absolute must-visit for any food enthusiast, a true gastronomic masterpiece!“
“Have been here twice and both times the coffee, the service and the pastries were phenomenal! Nice people, great coffee and food, and very relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for a coffee date or if you’re just in need of some caffeine and pastry!“
“I have been looking for great croissants, and Amy's does not disappoint. A little off the beaten path, but very cozy: breakfast and lunch only, but indoors and outdoors. Excellent croissants. I've been back a couple of times and will go back again. En prime, je peux m'entraîner à parler français !“
“Awesome coffee spot for pour over fanatics. The prices are high and the service is very slow. Be prepared to wait a bit even if the place is seemingly empty. The savory pastries are also excellent. I always look forward to visiting this coffee shop when I am in town.“
“Highly recommend! My go-to place for THE BEST gluten-free Herbalife protein shakes, loaded teas and snacks for before or after the gym. There’s so many drink combinations including great package deals. Ambiance here is always inviting and comfortable, entire staff is sooo sweet. Thank you very much to Danny and the girls behind the counter!“
“Absolutely love this place I’m here on daily basis. The owner is always so professional and polite. The food is tasty and has great quality. This place has been tremendously helpful on my health journey. Love you!Parking: Parking is smooth and easy.Kid-friendliness: It is very kid friendly“
“Even if you are not from Balkan, and want to try something new - go for it! Food is amazing. Portions are huge, everything is fresh. If you want a good quality meat, there you go! Cevapi(beef links), gourmet burger, skewers.. it's just great.“
“I have never had the pleasure of going to this eclectic spot that includes not only La Mexicana but The Alchemist! La Mexicana a great place for food and cocktails. It has rainbow trees .?My only negative, temporarily? the speaker for the performer was too loud, but the team turned it down. This made the remaining visit enjoyable. Take a visit.?“

“Amazing ice cream! A wide variety of eclectic flavors. Adding liquid nitrogen to the ice cream results in a creamy, delicious,melt in your mouth adventure. We will definitely be back and recommend this business to all our friends visiting the Fort Lauderdale location.“

“As a older adult, I enjoy going to this establishment very much. There is a nice mixture of ages and demographics, and everybody is very sweet. The owner Mark, his GM Fayna and his staff are very accommodating and helped me learn about the different botanical drink options and since I’ve been going there, my health has improved (i believe it’s due to their recommendations). I prefer holistic and natural approachsto my well-being, and I have become a regular of Leaves and Roots. I have also recommended them to my friends and family.“
“I’ll start off by saying I’m a bit upset I didn’t know about this place sooner. I had ordered a pizza (Caprese I believe), blue berry muffin and the bread pudding.Everything was excellent 10/10. The pizza was delicious, crispy, fluffy, perfect amount of sauce and tomatoes to moisten the bread a little. Chef Hans heated it up for us and it was amazing.The blueberry muffin was definitely fresh, with a caramelized sugar crispy top and soft fluffy bottom packed with blueberry.The bread pudding is the best bread pudding I have ever had, the top has some chunks of sweet high quality chocolate chunks and some peanuts to give it a nice texture, and it comes with a lightly sweet white sauce to moisten the bottom layer to make a perfect bite.Everything was a 10 out of 10, nothing could had made any of the items better.They change the flavors of their pizza every week so I’ll definitely be trying the new flavors and their breakfast sandwiches next time.“
“First visit yesterday to this establishment and I am not disappointed. Weekdays, Happy Hour from 5 to 7 50% off selection by the glass. The quality of the food is tasty (I had the duck salad) and the quantities are more than reasonable. To go “
“I'm so glad I finally made it hear after hearing amazing things and having it bookmarked for so long! If you love ice-cream, Asian flavors, and unique finds, you NEED to come here.Think ice-cream floats, but with an Asian twist. The ice-cream has different flavors (Thai tea, lychee, ube, etc), substitute milk tea instead of soda, and add boba as the topping. It's just as amazing as it sounds.They have signature creations, or you can build your own. I have a pretty intense Thai tea addiction, so I went with that one and I would highly recommend it. It came with a vanilla wafer, which complemented it perfectly.The inside is cute too, and the location in the same shopping center as Glitch, Blueprint, Clean Your Dirty Face, and a bunch of other awesome places is really nice too. It's a little expensive for ice-cream, but the quality is worth it for a treat.“
“This place never disappoints. Very quaint and chill location to have delicious beers and tasty food.Large selection of beers you pick and serve yourself with a great food menu to enjoy your beers with.It's definitely a great place to visit if you are in the area.“
“I recently discovered the hidden gem that is Cafe Club in Hollywood, where I was treated to their secret menu item: the owner's special Ahi Tuna Wrap. This dish was a fresh and delicious marvel, perfectly balancing the rich taste of ahi tuna with creamy avocado and just-right rice, all wrapped up in a delightful package. The quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation were evident with every bite. It's not just a meal; it's an experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a culinary adventure!“
“This is the best acai of quite a few places I've tried in the area. Their menu has a unique variety of toppings and flavors. I'm hooked on the No. 5, it has peanuts and cacao with blueberries and bananas. Their smoothies are also delicious too! Portions, pricing, and quality makes this the best and my favorite acai spot. ?“
“I am very impressed by the …. by everything!!!! Service, style, taste, decor…The paper that says “ the best croissants of south Florida 2023 “ builds very big expectations so my bar was very high. And it exceeded it. The croissant with cream was so puffy, crunchy and basically weightless.Coffee was strong and flavourful ( americano with cream ).Very cool and chill ambiance.The cashier was always smiling and helpful bringing the order to the table and then came to ask how we were.5 starts definitely.The only thing that will add more coziness inside would be couple real or fake plans inside.“
“Beautiful restaurant, the aesthetic is amazing! Our waiter was Tobi and he was super kind, informative, and very attentive. For food we ordered the lamb pasanda, butter chicken, samosas, and garlic naan and everything was superb! Definitely recommend this restaurant and recommend requesting Tobi as your waiter.“
“This was my first time here and I thoroughly enjoyed it there! The great service, delicious food, and the eclectic atmosphere was so nice!! We had the Chicken Panini and Waffle (with fruit on the side instead of on top), Avocado, and Scrambled eggs.“
“You have to come here! Gilbert made our time here a delight. They have pani puri, and I can’t find that dish anywhere in south Florida! Authentic, genuine, and DELICIOUS ! Ask for the vegan menu if that applies to you! Cannot rave about this place enough.“
“This Wells Coffee Co location is located in the heart of Ft Lauderdale across from Tarpon River Brewery. Its not open late but has street parking and a very small private parking lot. It boasts a cute outside front patio with tables and seating with shading. The inside is coffee type theme decor with couches and chairs. The staff seem attentive and friendly. They offer bags of coffee grinds or beans unsure which for sale near the register and a large easy to view hanging menus. For the area the pricing is reasonable. Just a place for a cup of Joe and a pastry and chill out. The bathroom is clean too.“
“Came because of an IG post. So worth it. The food was great. Good portion sizes. The services was top notch! I will definitely be back.The only drawback is that there is a very high step to get in. If you have a mobility disability like I do, maybe order curbside service.“
“Delicious coffee and a "small town feel" my dad was visiting for two weeks and by day 3 of going to Calusa the owner was able to start making his order as soon as he walked through the door. There's something about customer service that just makes things worth it. We love having Calusa in the neighborhood and will continue to support it!“
“My wife is French and she has a very hard time finding the things she loves to eat in America but she said let’s try this place and I’m so glad she did the service was amazing the food was better I had French toast and I was blown away by the taste it was the best French toast I’ve ever had in my life if you don’t stop here your definitely missing a true hidden gem it looks scary at first like you made a wrong turn but then you see all the different places and their beautiful and so different then your normal food choices this is special and I plan to return as much as possible and bring you dog they have a pet menu to if their was an option for ten stars Id gladly say it is worth every star they have gotten“

“Very rich! My first time having breakfast at this place and it was a very good experience. They serve you very kindly and guide you very well to know what to order. The place is very clean and nice. The coffee was exquisite as was the breakfast.“
“Had a great lunch there today. Was craving a burger but wasn’t up to the usual haunts. Saw that the food ratings for this place were high & we were nearby so we checked it out. The burger was excellent as were the fries. The spouse opted for the Rooster sandwich along with a very delicious mac n’ cheese. Service was prompt and very friendly. Their patio was a very comfortable spot to enjoy everything. Moved to Broward 6 months ago & were pleased to add another restaurant find to our list. After getting home, the GM Tim texted me to say that they had my wallet which I didn’t know that I had lost. Everything was returned to me safe & sound. When you pull into their parking slots, the phrase “Be Nice” is printed on each of the concrete slabs. Well these guys are, from the food all the way down to the staff. We’ll be back.“
“Wow. My first time here and I can’t say enough how cool this place is. The food is made fresh to order - the burgers are so juicy and the Brussel sprouts … FUGETTABOUTIT. ? This place is a brewery as well I might add so be sure to order a flight of flavorful beers!!I ate so fast o forgot to take a picture of my food before- hope the empty plate is proof enough! YUM! The owners are cool too. ?❤️“

That was amazing and we can not wait to be back . We are Romanians and we appreciate good and delicious food!Thank you , Karolina , the chef and the owners!“
“Wow! What a hidden gem. This is definitely the go to weekend spot. This family owned cafe is absolutely adorable. All of the desserts look incredible. Our food was so fresh. The eggs were cooked medium and cooked to perfection. The croissant was buttery and flakey. I was absolutely incredible. The young man running the counter was super nice. We sat outside and he brought us our waters and food. He was very sweet. Great experience. Can't wait to make this our weekend spot!“
