Getting my lunch on
Danielle M.

Needed to pick up lunch, so of course I came to Yelp to find a place nearby. I saw that the Fresh Box Cafe had numerous great reviews, and so I plugged the location into my GPS and headed there. The café is located in an office building. Had I driven around to the back, I would've seen the outdoor tables and signage. However, there was no signage at the front of the building or in the lobby area. Fortunately, woman pointed in the right direction. I would suggest that they put a little sign somewhere in the lobby. Upon entering the café , I received a warm welcome from the ladies behind the counter. They made some recommendations, and I was glad that I went with a tuna melt. As I'm not a fan of rye bread, I was glad that I chose to have it on ciabatta. The sandwich came with the choice of a bag of chips or fruit. There are plenty of tables inside, and the café is clean and inviting. I was there just before lunchtime so I can imagine this place gets quite busy. My sandwich was prepared to go and came out fairly quickly. I didn't eat it for another 40 minutes or so, but it held up quite well. The tuna fish was outstanding and paired with toasted bread and cheese was a winning match. I'd say this was probably one of the best tuna melts I've ever had. When in the area in the future, I will definitely stop in again. Glad I found this gem of a lunch place.

I have to start by giving major recognition to the owners (at least I believe they are the owners). I came to the cafe for a late lunch right after 2pm thinking that they were open until 3pm. Turns out they had already closed. Just as I was walking away, the kindest woman unlocked the door and insisted I come in and order! I was stunned. I am sure by that time she was ready to call it a day and head out but I so appreciated the thought as I had a brief time for lunch during a busy day and didn't have much time to leave the building complex. I took a quick look at the bakery items and menu and was salivating because everything looked and sounded great. Once I saw French toast, I knew it was a brekkie for lunch kind of day. Lol. They seriously have an impressively sized menu for a small cafe centered in an office building. I expected a few sandwiches and salad offerings. Once my French toast was ready, the staff was kind enough to insist I sit and eat inside but it was a pretty pleasant afternoon by Florida standards so I decided to take it outside. Made me a little more comfortable since they aren't masking in the establishment. A bit bummed about that but there is a good amount of outdoor seating available with umbrellas and trees for shade. The food was great and I will definitely dine again next time I am working in that office. The service went way above and beyond and for that reason alone I am happy to frequent this establishment!

1/2 soup and 1/2 sandwich tuna melt and split peas soup - loved both
C G.

A wonderful overall experience! Friendly staff, delicious food, great portions. At first I thought I had the wrong address because I was at an office building. I went inside and am so glad I did. The food is fresh, and they have a rewards card with lots of regulars that come through. I went to the outdoor seating on the side. Will be back again soon!

This is my all-time favorite go-to for lunch, and sometimes breakfast, and sometimes a snack or a coffee I am lucky enough to work nearby, but the food would definitely be worth going out of the way for. They have daily specials, use fresh ingredients, make your order in front of you so you see the quality going in. I have tried at least 30 menu items and have found each one delicious. Today I ordered the 1/2&1/2 with the vegetable soup and tuna melt - fantastic!

Antita B.

Very welcoming, friendly and courteous staff. There was various healthy options on the menu. I was happy to see a salad bar, everything looked fresh and tasty. I ordered they're garden vegetable quinoa soup, it tasted delicious and home made. I also ordered a salad at the salad bar, delicious and fresh as well. The entire cafe looked clean and organized. They had a couple of TV's and tables to sit and eat. The prices were reasonable and affordable. I will definitely recommend this place and come back when I am in the area.

Coconut curry vegetable soup
Monica M.

So happy to have found this hidden gem! I got the recommendation from a co-worker & I've been hooked ever since. They have a variety of grab and go items like salads, as well as a salad bar, paninis, pizzas, soups & more. The food is AMAZING & always fresh! I highly recommend the Coconut curry vegetable soup! Sooo good! They also have great coffee & bakery items. I love this place and highly recommend it! Best of all the customer service is the best!

Stacie R.

The staff is always polite and welcoming. The food is consistently great! We come here often for lunch and enjoy it every time.

Eggplant Parma Sandwich
Kai W.

Delicious Eggplant Parma Sandwich is just one of the daily specials at Fresh Box Cafe. Everything made from scratch with love from Lisa, Lisa, & their dedicated staff. Yelp this place for directions, you will be glad you did.

Potato Salad
Rose M.

I found this gem on Yelp. I was looking for a place with fresh food and stumbled on this place. I decided to give them a try since they had great reviews. From the moment you walk in, Lisa greeted me so nicely. She advised me on all they offer since it was my 1st time there. I felt like I was greeted by family. I learned there is another lady named Lisa who recommended the steak panini as it is their best seller. OMG..That was one of the best panini I ever had! I can't wait to go back and support this awesome gem!

The super messy Malone (rated #1 by entire family), the Smoked Texas, and the Vodka Chicken Cutlet hoagie. 50 bucks before tip and we are told we got some hits. Next time we want Cheesesteak and the Smoked Brisket sandwich. That's right, next time. The burger was hands down loved by family and the bbq sauce felt original versus bottled. The pork was moist and we would only request a medium burger if possible. We forgot as the lines were moving and many have questions for register attendant. The Smoked Texas fell a little flat after the burger. The meat was way too diced for pastrami and the creamy aioli was a tad too much in quantity. Wife did not think the sesame seeded bread was right fit. Had we ordered this alone it might have been a partial hit but fell with its competitors. Perhaps a high end Rachel as a worthy replacement ?? The piece left for next day was quite oily and meat was over chopped and disintegrating. Finally came the cutlet hoagie stuffed with breaded chicken, sheets of cheese, and the soft light and super creamy and slightly sweet Vodka sauce. This sauce could also be a late night drink or poured on many items. Yum ....

Outstanding. Thank you, Yelp :)…read more We wanted to bring some baked goods to the friends' house for breakfast, and found this bakery to be close to the hotel and with high Yelp's rating, so we decided yo give it a try. We got fresh croissants which we absolutely delicious. We got pastries filled with apples and mango/cream cheese that were also superb. Bakery also offers an excellent selection of empanadas that we couldn't resist. Beef, chicken, spinach and cheese were all delicious, both the dough that was not oily and the filling. Excellent friendly service. A small advice - Friday is a fast paced day - if you want to get your pastries on Friday, come early. When we arrived shortly after 9, the croissants were already gone...

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the customer service was top tier. My order came out quickly--under 10 minutes--which was a nice plus. I ordered the Chicken Philly and Italian Sub, along with a bag of chips and two drinks, and everything came out to around $35. Both the Chicken Philly and Italian Sub are two of the most popular items on the menu. If I had to choose between the two, I'd definitely go with the Chicken Philly. It was my favorite! Overall, Pinho's is a great spot to check out if you're in the area and looking for a quick, casual meal with friendly service.

The Sandwich was a huge portion for me and I only ate half. The meat was seasoned so well and the flavors came together for that sandwich. My. Lord. The Garlic Parmesan fries were as advertised. Garlicky and cheesy in the perfect amount. I, personally, love thicker cut fries and these delivered. The cookie was called Marshmallow something. It was a sugar cookie with marshmallow and Rice Krispies in it. Ima come back for the cookie alone. I'm a sucker for excellent baked goods. I have my second outing planned for next month already.

The reviews were positive and the photos online looked great, plus I love a good sandwich at lunch time. We ordered the Chicken Parm Pesto Sandwich and the Chicken Cesar Salad Wrap. The Chicken Parm Pesto Sandwich was delish! The bread was soft and fresh. There was ample chicken and it was already cut up to make it easier to eat. The mix of red sauce and pesto was a perfect combo! It was a flavor bomb! There were also huge chunks of fresh mozzarella mixed in. It could have had just a bit more arugula, but this was not enough of a note to really impact the experience. The Chicken Sesar Salad Wrap was huge! All of the flavors were great, but it was very heavy on the kale. The menu said it was supposed to be a mix of romaine and kale, but it felt like all kale. I'm guessing the current lettuce issue was the reason behind that. This is a small sandwich shop but the service was awesome and the interior is really cute. The walls are covered with sweet pictures of customers enjoying their food. I will definitely come back and try more options. They have a display of cookies that looked amazing! I always prefer a local place over a chain, especially when it comes to sandwiches.

Dino's Subs is back -- with new ownership, a fresh direction, and a local legacy behind its name…read more Originally opened in December 2023 by Scott "Dino" Cohen -- grandson of legendary deli man Wolfie Cohen of Wolfie's and Rascal House fame -- the sub shop quickly earned buzz before closing in the summer of 2024 following Scott's leukemia diagnosis. The storefront quietly reopened in December 2024 under new ownership by Mark Cerniglia, who, along with his wife Cathy, also owns the beloved Over Easy Café in Wilton Manors. The couple recently acquired Fat Freddy's Subs in Fort Lauderdale as well -- a 50-year-old institution now being fully renovated, with cheesesteaks and smash burgers on the way. If you were a fan of the original Dino's housemade pastrami or corned beef, note that those items are no longer on the menu. The new version of Dino's focuses on traditional sub shop fare -- but still brings serious craft to the table. They make their own chicken cutlets and meatballs, and even smoke their own bacon in-house. I stopped in for the roast beef sub, and it delivered. Mark doesn't use Boar's Head -- instead, he sources higher-quality meats, including large beef primals from his restaurant supplier. The roast beef is commercially roasted (not done in-house), but it's tender, flavorful, and generously stacked. The roll is spot on, and the topping bar includes at least four types of hot pickled peppers. At $16.95, it's a hefty, satisfying sandwich -- and worth every bite.

As my husband said, "this is a seriously good sub"! and it was.... plus the great service and…read morepersonableness (I'm making up this word) of the staff added to our experience here. It's a small place that's mainly doing take out. But we decided to eat in at one of their (six) counter stools. The restaurant is located on the west side of the street in a small strip of stores that incudes J&J. There's parking in the spaces out front. We got to chat with members of the staff and fellow diners as well. It was fun talking about old south Florida and places we've eaten at, and pizza in New Haven, etc.,etc. They have a set menu -- copies are on the counter and on the wall -- but they also have blackboard specials. Don't hesitate to ask what's new or what they're creating (we found out later about a muffaletta that was in the works). You can see all the add-ons/fixing's in the case in front of you, so you get to customize your order to your liking. I tried their half meatball parm sub. You have your choice of rolls -- the softer one and the crustier Italian one with sesame seeds. I like texture, so I chose the seeded one and I'm so glad I did. The meatballs, btw, are made in house and are a mix of different quality meats. I got mine topped with provolone which gets melted nicely on top of the hot meatballs. In addition, they give you some extra tomato sauce for dipping, on the side. It was quite good. It was a cooler day, so I wanted something hot, but next time I'll try one of their cold subs, I think. My husband got their capicola and ham sub. He also chose their seeded bread. And added some black olives and other things to his sandwich. They have more than just subs and deli sandwiches -- there's usually a pasta special of the day, and a daily soup, as well. Also, there are more than half a dozen salad platters with your choice of dressing. Beverages are from the cooler -- sodas and the like. We didn't try them, but there were also a few different cookie selections, and packaged chips, of course. And I imagine they'll be adding a few more items onto the menu in the future. They are just getting discovered. They do delivery through the services, and you can do take out -- you can even call in to order in advance. But if you get a chance, stop by to see in person what they're offering that day. And what all the topping choices are so you'll know for future. We'll be back soon, if we can.

I recently moved to the area and was scoping out sandwich places…read more I was happy to see they had their own parking. I came later in the afternoon to pick up sandwiches. It's a cute deli! With indoor and outdoor seating. Let me start off by saying everything taste super fresh! All the ingredients from the toppings, to the sides and desserts! Service was great! They had tons of cookies, some cinnamon rolls left. No more muffins though. I saw some soups, and puddings. I would have liked to try those as well, but I wasn't going straight home. I'll have to try them next time. The toffee cookie was soft. It was well balanced with just enough toffee and chocolate chip in it. I accidentally got two of the same kind because one of them wasnt labeled. I thought it was a normal chocolate chip cookie but it's okay because I really liked it. The roll was also super soft. It looked like it was a a cinnamon roll? I basically downed the whole thing it was so good. And that was on top of having my half of a sandwich. Sides: We had their potato salad which had a nice tang to it. I didn't get a picture because I ate it and forgot. The coleslaw had a nice crunch to it. But I would try something different-it wasnt for me. Nothing wrong with it just not my cup of tea. Had the dill pickle. Not sure which pickles they use but this one was good! It was refreshing and had a slight dill flavor to the brine. On to the sandwiches! I chose ciabatta because I knew we were going to enjoy them a little later than they were made and it was such a good call. The ciabatta had a chew to it and it avoided having soggy sandwiches. Tuna: I'm a tuna connoisseur. I had it with all the toppings except for cheese. Another-well balanced! I wasn't getting too much olive, or pepper. It was a perfectly made sandwich. The tuna didn't have tang to it. Which is fine. Not everything needs to be vinegar-y. I love a good tuna salad! I did get some bites of small celery. It was a refreshing sandwich. I left half for the end of the night, and it was still delicious! Italian: Had it on sesame ciabatta. It was recommended. It was a nice add! Again perfectly balanced sandwich. Bf said he probably would get just the meat and cheese next time. But that's because he doesn't like veggies i didn't mind it on his sandwich. So it's really preference. I told him we should get the corned beef next because it seems like that's what they promote most on ig. I'd also like to try their blt next time too! Overall I really liked this deli! Highly recommend and can't wait to return!
