Latte & cannoli

Amazing hospitality and service. We ordered a latte, cappuccino, and cannolis. Everything was fresh and made to order. The cannoli was the best I've ever had. I felt welcomed and even had a great conversation with the owners.

Espresso - Strong! Gets 'er done!

My husband loves coming to this small coffee shop off Atlantic Blvd. in the heart of Pompano Beach. It's filled with local Italians (mostly men) who are very passionate (they are not fighting as some believe...LOL). They speak mostly Italian here but you can find English speakers. Peter behind the counter is really nice and you can tell a lot of locals frequent the place. They have really good coffee and it's really strong. We love coming here for the coffee and the atmosphere. It's like you are in Italy on a sunny morning. They serve croissants and I have seen some eggs/bacon/toast being cooked but there isn't really a menu. You just have to ask. Very homey Italian vibe. CASH ONLY!

*Cash Only!* Reading fellow Yelpers reviews is what made me bookmark this spot, and I'm sure glad I did! Before I even walked in the door, I knew we were at a good place. Locals (likely of the Italian-American variety) were sitting at a couple of small outdoor tables playing cards, smoking cigars, and gossiping. Inside was another game of cards as well as a poker game in the back room (that I could only get a glimpse of). People were friendly and made small-talk. We each ordered a single shot of espresso by the counter and they came out in the appropriate-sized servings/cups. I added just a touch of sugar and took my first taste. Yes! So good! Not a hint of bitterness. Smooth. Wonderful. So wonderful, that we went back the next day before going to the airport. The only thing that really surprised us was that the guy running the place didn't know what an affogatto was! He was really interested though so perhaps he will soon add this to his offerings. Enjoy!

Today's cappuccino was textbook-perfect: velvety micro-foam with a silky, golden crema that held its own until the last sip.

I came to this cave on a Friday afternoon and got the cheese waffle and some specialty…read morecoffees($9-$11). The cheese waffle was surprisingly super delicious and it paired well with the jam. The coffees were also very delicious! Staff were very friendly! The outside area is covered. Overall this was a phenomenal coffee/brunch spot , I would definitely come back! Food(50%): 8.6 Staff/service(25%): 8.0 Value(25%): 7.0 Overall: 8.1/10

This is such a gorgeous cafe! Our server was Jojo, and he was very pleasant and made our experience…read moreexcellent. This entire cafe is outdoors, so it's best to visit during weather where you can tolerate being outdoors. There is lots of shade, so the sun won't be beating on you directly, and there are fans around the tables as well. There are also those little fly fans on each table to keep flies away from your food, so it's clear that they've done their due diligence with creating a comfortable outdoor environment. This was my first time visiting, and I was pleased with everything I ordered. My fiance had been here once before on his own, and brought me along this time to experience it for myself! I ordered the iced Rosa Latte, the Breakfast Bowl, and a plan Belgian waffle. He had an iced Chai Latte, and the Pancake Sandwich. Here are our thoughts of each item: Rosa Latte: I got mine with almond milk, and it was just the right amount of sweet. The rose syrup brings a truly unique flavor that I can hardly describe myself! If you like your tea with milk and honey (or any sweetener) and you also like lattes, you'll enjoy this. Breakfast Bowl: everything was cooked perfectly. I was surprised at the heaping scoop of perfectly ripe avocado on top--I wasn't expecting so much avocado, in a good way. Most restaurants are stingy with avocado. The eggs were fluffy, the bacon was crispy, and everything tasted like an extremely well made home breakfast. The eggs were not salted, which I preferred because I was able to add the amount of salt I wanted. Pancake Sandwich: My fiance ordered this one, and he described it as the perfect blend of sweet and savory. The pancake (bread) was a normal pancake size, which made the sandwich a bit difficult to hold given that pancakes aren't very firm, so some people might find it easier to use utensils to eat this. I tasted the pink mayonnaise, and it tasted homemade! If you like deviled eggs, the pink mayonnaise tastes like fresh deviled eggs. It's lovely. Overall, this was a super pleasant experience. The server that my fiance had last time (I didn't catch his name) also remembered him and stopped by our table to say hello. The prices here are a bit higher for a breakfast cafe, but once you taste everything you'll understand why. It's clear that all the food and drinks use fresh ingredients, and the staff takes pride in it!

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.

I was going to give this a one-star review, but the manager surprised me with genuine kindness, and…read morebecause of that, I couldn't. I've been coming here for almost 10 years, and it's always been one of my favorite breakfast spots. Unfortunately, the service today was disappointing. My server seemed rushed rather than attentive. I understand it was busy, but when care is rushed, mistakes happen just like in my own line of work. My drink was dropped off without pausing to see if I needed anything, not even a straw. When the oatmeal arrived, it was full of walnuts, had only a few berries, no bananas, and the milk was forgotten. The presentation was poor overall. To their credit, the waiter kindly removed it from the bill since I didn't eat it. When I went to pay, I was asked about the service and honestly shared that I wasn't happy. The manager then insisted on not charging me for the meal. I told her it wasn't necessary we all need to make a living but she insisted and thanked me for the feedback. What has always made this place great isn't just the food, but the service. Yes, it's a busy location, but guests still deserve attentiveness making sure they have everything before rushing off. Don't just drop the food and disappear; check in and make sure the guest is taken care of. Thank you to the manager who helped me today. Your kindness truly mattered. Because of you, I will definitely give this place another try.
