I bookmarked this place because I was traveling to this area. Thank you helpers for an amazing…read morerecommendation. This donut shop is a BIG deal. The photos do not do the donuts justice. Why did I get two donuts when one doughnut is the size of my face. People wait in line for the coffee but also treat themselves to these gigantic treats. My favorite donuts are glazed twist, and sour cream blueberry. The shop had both, but I did not need to order two. Those donuts lasted two days. The yeast twist was very very dense but so fresh. The blueberry sour cream that I ate the next day was still fresh and the taste of fresh blueberries was very obvious. The shop was manned by two hard-working women. Coffee was made fresh. They also serve various lattes and cappuccinos. It's definitely a place worth visiting if you're in the Los Olas area.

Felt compelled to post about my amazing experience tonight at Dandee Donuts! Everyone knows of…read morecourse that their donuts are legendary...but I'm not sure that folks realize JUST how good the REST of the menu actually is..! EXCELLENT and attentive service as always whenever Tammie is working really makes it a must-have dining experience. Truly CANNOT say enough about the GREAT food and even BETTER service!!

Of course, I ended up seeing some speciality donuts and one popped out at me mounds .. yum dark chocolate with coconut . Both were delicious no I didn't eat them all at once but halfway .

We were visiting from out of town and I tried their iced pistachio shaken espresso. Made with…read morepistachio, brown sugar, espresso, cinnamon and oat milk. Probably one of the best iced espresso drinks I have had visiting FLL - perfectly balanced & not overly sweet. I placed my order online and they were so quickly, it was ready in less than 4 minutes! It is also cool that they give you free 15 min parking to pickup your order. It is also amazing that this place gives back to their community, I would go here every day to buy coffee if I lived in the area. Thank you Stephen for all you do!

Went here with my sister!…read more Super cute vibes! Love the front but also how the back has some games! I got the bacon, egg, and cheese wrap with an iced sweet green tea! (Can't comment on the banana muffin yet haha saving it for later) We very much enjoyed our time here!

This café is an absolute gem! My daughter and I have been coming here for years, and everything is…read morealways fresh and delicious. Whether it's coffee, breakfast, lunch, or their amazing pastries, at very affordable prices, they truly never disappoint. The owner and staff are incredibly kind, and the café has such a cute, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of cozy indoor seating and a lovely outdoor patio. They're always happy to customize your order, and as a very picky coffee drinker, I can honestly say they make my coffee perfectly every time. I can't recommend this place enough!

I stopped by Chez Café and had a mixed but overall interesting experience. The baked goods are…read moredefinitely the highlight -- fresh, fragrant, and clearly made with care. I tried a few pastries and loved how buttery, soft, and flavorful they were. If you're a bakery lover, this part alone makes the visit worthwhile. The desserts and pastries feel a bit upscale, and you can expect about a 15-20% price bump compared to similar cafés. The space itself is small, and it's really more of a grab‑and‑go spot than a place to sit and relax. There's no free tap water, so you're required to purchase bottled drinks, which may be a downside for some. The service was somewhat slow, though the staff was attentive once they engaged. However, the overall vibe wasn't very welcoming. A few long‑time customers seemed frustrated and even got up to complain after being ignored for a while, which was noticeable. Yummy pastries. Didn't see any stellar food. Our food was just average. We felt Café Brie on Atlantic had better food, but Chez has great pastries. Because of the limited seating, lack of water, and the uneven service experience, I'm not sure I'd choose to dine in. The drive‑thru or takeout might be the better option for enjoying their fresh baked goods without the wait.

What a cute bakery! They have tables to eat there or take out…read more Clean & organized & beautifully displayed.

The moment I walked in, I was amazed by how cute and beautifully decorated the place was. I ordered a croissant to go along with a couple of macarons. When I got home, I made myself some Turkish coffee and had the croissant it was absolutely delicious. The service was very good, and the bakery had so many beautiful options to choose from. I definitely want to come back and dine in when I'm not in such a rush. I'll definitely be back.

Jade Tea House was a pleasant surprise. The space is very minimal in its décor, but it creates a…read morecalm, relaxing atmosphere. The service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. The woman at the counter was incredibly kind, patient, and accommodating. Since it was our first visit, she took the time to explain the menu, answer our questions, and even let us sample a few drinks before ordering. I accidentally ordered the wrong item, and without any hassle, they graciously replaced it with what I had intended to order. That level of hospitality made a great first impression. If you're visiting for the first time, I highly recommend the Ube Taro Cloud with oat milk at 25% sugar. Ube is a subtly sweet purple root vegetable with a creamy, nutty, vanilla-like flavor. The Cloud version tops the drink with a light, airy milk foam that makes every sip smooth and rich without feeling overly heavy. The Watermelon Refresher was equally impressive--light, crisp, and genuinely refreshing without being overly sweet. It's the kind of drink that's perfect on a hot South Florida afternoon. Jade Tea House combines exceptional customer service with thoughtfully crafted drinks in a peaceful setting. They also have a location in Davie. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

Jade Tea House has come to Fort Lauderdale for their second location!…read more They are located near Larb Thai-Isan and I'm so happy I was in the area and got to visit this location. Parking was easy in the parking lot that this biz is located in. The space is cute & clean. They're serving up all their classic drinks. Of course, I had to get a matcha while here and it was delicious, per usual. They have wifi and a good amount of seating. Love this location and so happy to see them thrive!

Before I ever tasted a single bean, the name stopped me cold. Calusa. A roaster bearing the name of…read morean Indigenous people -- the Calusa, the ancient shell-mound builders, the unconquered lords of South Florida's mangroves and waterways. People who never surrendered. People whose bones are folded into this very soil. As someone who walks through this world carrying Taíno blood and the memory of peoples whose names colonizers tried to erase, that word hit different. It wasn't a gimmick. It wasn't a logo. It was a declaration -- that this land has a story older than any espresso machine, and somebody here understood that. That understanding alone earned my curiosity and my respect before I'd even stepped through the door. "The name carried the weight of a people who never bent. That's the kind of legacy worth building a roastery around." Then I learned the story behind the man behind the roaster -- and it only deepened my respect. Luis Arteaga came home from serving in the United States Marine Corps and did what so many veterans do: he looked for work. No fanfare. No red carpet. Just a man with discipline in his bones and calluses on his hands, trying to find his next mission in a civilian world that doesn't always know what to do with people like that. He found his way to the original owners of Calusa Coffee Roasters. They saw in him what the Corps had always seen -- dependability, grit, and a willingness to learn. They gave him a job. A floor to stand on. And Luis did what Marines do -- he didn't just fill a position, he grew into something greater. Over time, through sweat and dedication and an unmistakable passion for the craft, he rose to become the owner of the very roastery that once took a chance on him. That's not a business story. That's an American story. A veteran's story. And it's exactly the kind of origin that makes a cup of coffee taste like something more than coffee. CALUSA COFFEE ROASTERS IS A SOUTH FLORIDA INSTITUTION Fast forward to today, and Calusa Coffee Roasters isn't just surviving -- it is a staple. Walk into the right cigar bar on a Friday evening and someone at the table will mention the name. Sit down at the right diner counter on a Tuesday morning and a regular will nod toward that familiar bag. In South Florida's rich, layered, cafecito-and-culture coffee landscape, that kind of word-of-mouth is earned over years of consistency, of showing up, of never letting the cup get small. Luis continues to build something that belongs to this community -- rooted in the terroir of a region as complex and layered as its people. The coffee is exceptional. Bold where it should be bold, nuanced where it earns it. The kind of roast that makes you sit down instead of rushing out. That's no accident. That's someone who respects the craft because he was forged in institutions that demand nothing less than your best. "When a Marine finds his mission in a roastery, every bag he puts his name on carries the same standard -- do it right or don't do it at all." Meeting Luis was one of those moments I didn't expect to move me the way it did. We are both moving through the coffee world trying to build something that means something -- something rooted in identity, in service, in the belief that what's in the cup should tell a story worth hearing. And here was a fellow Marine who had walked a road I recognize: uncertain ground, earned footing, and a refusal to quit. And finally, if you are in South Florida and you have not made the pilgrimage to Calusa Coffee Roasters on Commercial Blvd, you are overdue. Go for the coffee -- stay for the story. And if you're lucky enough to meet the man himself, shake his hand. He earned it in more ways than one. To Luis Arteaga and everyone at Calusa: thank you for carrying a name that honors this land. Thank you for honoring the service that shaped you. And thank you for a cup of coffee that carries the weight of all of it without spilling a drop. Semper Fi, brother. Keep roasting.

Came here once or twice before and the mocha latte was very bland and overpriced…read more Decided to come back and give it another try because it was only place in the area and it will definitely be my last time. It was about 11:30 AM on a Saturday and there were a couple people from me so it took me nearly 10 minutes to place my order just for them to tell me they were out of mocha lattes and pretty much any flavored lattes.
