50 Best Cafes near Margate

“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.“

“There is nothing on their menu that isn't fresh. So very good! The staff is very attentive and friendly! This is a hidden gem in Margate!“

“Best whole in the wall spot for coconut water. I would drive about 80 miles about every other day when on vacation out there to get coconut water from these people. I’m not sure why you only find the best spots unexpected. It’s not fancy but it’s a great spot for fresh coconut water at a good price.“

“This empanadas are delicious, big, filled to the max, packing tons of flavor at a great price! Must try. The powder sugar was a great addition. And the sauces were delicious. Spicy but not too spicy, just perfect. 10/10 I’m not a big coffee drinker so I got a pinapple smoothie and it was just right, perfect level of sweetness 10/10 The shop was very nice clean, and calm. Perfect for a casual coffee date. 10/10 The service was great! The lady at the front was very amicable and welcoming. 10/10 I highly recommend it, and will be coming back soon.“

“Such a great place! Atmosphere is so cute and the cappuccino was perfectly made! I had the pistachio croissant and it was 10/10 delicious! Staff very friendly and pricing was surprisingly low considering the area. I definitely recommend!! And I will be back for sure!“

“Love LOVE alive love The food is amazing“

“I’ve been coming down to south Florida for about 15 years and this spot is hands down the best sandwich’s and rice balls I’ve found down here. I 100% recommend trying this spot out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
I ordered The Bologna sandwich, the bread was warm with a nice crunch. The combination of mortadella with the fresh mozzarella and pesto it’s a fantastic combination. The Rice ball reminded me of the rice balls my grandmother would make when I was a child. My kids ordered the New York style pizza, and they loved it. I couldn’t get a picture of it. They dove right in.
The staff is very friendly and welcoming.
My family and I will definitely be back next time we’re down in Florida.
Grazie Mille.“

“I stopped in today around brunch time! I got a steak & egg sandwich and large iced latte with caramel and vanilla. My boyfriend got a bacon & cheese croissant! Which were both amazing. The server Dolly was super helpful and sweet. I would definitely recommend to others! 🤍“

“Best place in Lauderdale to come have a healthy meal and a good price. Best drinks made by My favorite Bianca and Katerin“

“On a scale of 1 to 10 ... The Quiche is a 12. House Salad is a 15. Chicken soup is a 11. The coconut cream Pie is DAVOON! Who ever is the "Crust Supervisor" needs a raise! You can tell everything is made with love because it has just enough magic in it to keep you wanting more. That's what I got!“

“Food is delicious, the coffee is something else (sunshine turmeric was my choice- twice!) and the place is so friendly and peaceful!“

“Delicious food great service!“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The atmosphere is beautiful, calm, and welcoming. The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care, and the coffee is excellent. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. A perfect spot for a relaxed breakfast or lunch — highly recommended.“

“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!“

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!“

“Sip Java makes Starbucks feel ordinary. Starbucks is good—but Sip Java is something special. The coffee here is beautifully balanced: smooth as silk, never over-roasted, never bitter, just rich and perfectly crafted.

The atmosphere is just as wonderful. The ladies behind the counter are always warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy, which gives the whole place an easy, joyful energy. It’s the kind of spot where you can linger with your coffee, relax, and feel like you’ve found a little pocket of Fort Lauderdale that still has soul.

Sip Java is one of those rare, old-school gems that gives a neighborhood its character. I sincerely hope it never disappears. ☕✨“

“Me encantó el muy buen servicio y la comida. Mi Ahi Tuna plate estaba espectacular sobre todo el cauliflower rice… Awesome!!!“

“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 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!“

“Great place to chill and have wine“

“Got the “Famous Cubano” and was excited to try this one in the side of a gas station. Since my last experience in FL at an expensive restaurant yielded the worst Cubano I’ve ever had, I figured this would be a good place to try next.

From the pictures it looked awesome and from the experience, it’s was equal! The bread was on point, buttered, crispy and chewy, the roast pork was juicy and tender. The ham was also good and there was a perfect amount of pickles and mustard with melty Swiss! All of the textures and flavors were balanced which was exactly what you want in a good Cubano! And you could taste the individual components as well! Fantastic sandwich!!“

“This food is really good!!! Flamin' Grill and Cafe all the way for me.“

“A delightful small cafe that is perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch. Delicious food - I love the chicken pesto panini or the turkey club for lunch, but also love the egg and cheese wrap for breakfast. Good selections of beverages and fine coffees, and I should not forget their homemade empanadas (which are not small). I have been going there for two months now, and Kandi always remembers me (and the food is ready pretty quickly). A delightful spot for us busy professionals - and some lovely outdoor seating.“

“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.“

“This place is great for grabbing a couple of drinks. It has chairs outside, which is an open area.Customer service is great.Rebecca is the bomb ( she goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable) so helpfulEverytime I visit florida. It's the first place to visit to eat and drink something.“

“The food is exquisite and very niece portions. I recommend it 100%. You would like , like I did.“

“We ordered a to go order from Le Petit Poussin Cafe for the first time today. I ordered over the phone a shrimp salad and my husband ordered the tomato mozzarella prosciutto. He said it would be ready in 10 to 15 minutes. When I walked into the store she was sautéing my shrimp. How fresh is that! Both dishes were excellent“

“Everything I have tried is amazing…“

“Located inside the Eat Healthy Asian Bowl restaurant, they have a small menu of drinks which include milk teas, slushies, and fruit teas.

I had the tiramisu milk tea which comes with either a cheese foam or creme brûlée top, which was a nice addition. I had it with the 50% sweetness and still found it to be a little on the sweet side and would get the 25% next time. Their slushies also did look really good.

In terms of price, it is a little on the more expensive side with their milk tea drinks starting at about $7.50, which don't include toppings nor tax and tip.

It does have some of the friendliest staff who take care to make the drinks and that each person has a great experience.“

“Don’t be fooled by the hidden location in lobby of an office building. This is the best chicken avocado wrap I’ve ever had, and the service was so friendly and fast!\nThey really make an effort to show their appreciation for my business even for just one sandwich. A discovery.“

“To KeKe’s from the host that grab the food for me idk her name but all the way to the table where me and my husband we were fully taken care of the whole time food was super presentable and the chef is amazing as well thank you definitely recommend DEFINITELY WILL BE BACK !!!“

“food is amazing!!“

“Went to our yearly visit to our financial advisors, Mari Adam & Scott Weigel at Mercer Advisors. They are so thorough & respect my conservative wishes & the balance between myself & my husband's wishes. Scott was very helpful making me understand all my investments. I thank them so much for all their help over the years.“

“Chef MN is a hidden gem on the fifth floor of an office building. The quinoa bowls are amazing - packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a must-visit spot for a healthy lunch or snack.“

“I ordered 40 wraps, 10 each of 4 varieties, for a special event yesterday. As with several previous orders, they were all delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. Great restaurant!“
