A cute coffee shop tucked away near the mall! The space is super clean, spacious, and welcoming. The cashier was so nice and sweet. It was actually funny seeing her in all the pictures on the wall it almost felt like I was visiting her house . I got a small pistachio latte, and it was really tasty! The coffee was great quality, and I'd definitely come back to try more. read more

I adore small business coffee shops. They may not have all the fluff of the big chains, but they make up for it in warmth and charm. Helena's, located in The Fountains Mall in Plantation (right next to Kohl's), is exactly that kind of place. They offer pastries, empanadas, and sweets, and their coffee is consistently delicious. I usually order the chai tea latte -- it knocks my socks off every time. The staff is always friendly, and the atmosphere feels like a true neighborhood hub. You might see a book club meeting in one corner, someone working away on a laptop, or a soccer mom rushing in and out with her tiny tribe of mini athletes. They even have a loyalty program where after so many visits your next order is free -- but that's not why I keep coming back. read more

Great cute place for coffee or quick bite. There's a couple couches with chairs along with tables and chairs. They have breakfast menu items along with lunch items. I did up to get one of the beef empanadas. And I forgot to ask but the Empanada did have olives in it and I do not like olives. There weren't that many so I was able to pick them out. Other than that everything was great. They do close at 4:00 p.m.. read more

I've been here a few times and the drinks are great, but the food has not been great. My sister ordered a bagel with egg and it tasted like there was soap in it. I will only be coming back to Helena's for coffee and matcha. read more

The place is cute! It is nice and clean. It is good spot to set up and spend some time there. However, I didn't think the food was worth it. I got the Salmon Avocado Toast (salmon, cream cheese, smashed avocado, and capers on a piece of bread). The food tasted alright, but to pay almost $12 for what I got was a little absurd. The iced coffee was good but nothing special. The service was average too. Parking is easy since the place is a part of an outside mall. I would consider going again, but I won't go out of my way for it. read more

I came in here around noon on a Thursday and it was absolutely PACKED. Every seat taken and very loud. My party and I got lattes and you're able to pick your milk of choice and flavor. We got an iced cinnamon bun and a dulce de leche latte, both with oat milk. They were both made very quickly considering how many people there were there. The dulce de leche was very good, but the cinnamon bun flavor was not. The way I would describe it is it's as if you didn't just taste or smell a cinnamon candle, but took a complete mouthful of one. It was a very artificial cinnamon flavor that was honestly horrible. I'd definitely come back, though, and try some of their other flavors and food. read more

I came here on a friends recommendation and I'm glad that I did. I ordered their grilled chicken sandwich along with a dulce de leche latte. The sandwich was good and did the job, but the dulce de leche was my favorite item. It was delicious and not overtly sweet. The ladies at the front were super nice and provided great service. The place is super clean and has low volume music playing so it's perfect to come here and study, coffee date, or grab a bite to eat. I would recommend. read more

An absolutely awesome and cute little Cafe right in Plantation. I've driven past it many times but I'm so glad that I was decided to finally stop here one morning I had nothing to do. The staff was very friendly and greeted me as soon as the doors opened and asked us to give them a few moments because they were cranking away at orders currently. A couple moments later I was able to place my order and I decided to get the Cafe Au Lait. My wife got the Mocha Latte. A few minutes later our drinks were ready. The Cafe Au Lait was so refreshing. It had the perfect amount of milk in it and the coffee was incredibly smooth. There was a nice amount of ice and it didn't water the drink down in any way, even with me taking my time savoring the drink. The Mocha latte was really good and had the right amount of sweetness to it without being too overpowering with choclate flavoring. Prices are very reasonable here and if you want an iced drink for any of them, it is an automatic large with no way of getting a smaller size. The place was very pretty and I liked the different portraits on the wall of different locations around the world that the drinks were designed and made after. I will definitely be back due to everything here being wonderful! read more

The food is fresh and light. The coffee and Matcha or always a good choice and service is fast and friendly. The ambience is nice and relaxing, which is a nice change in busy south Florida. If you are in the area and would like a nice drink and a bite, I definitely recommend. It is also very close to good shopping. read more

The scent of freshly ground beans mixed with the sweet tang of baked pastries, creating an almost comforting aroma that wrapped around you as soon as you entered. There was a hum to the place - quiet conversations blending with the hiss of steam from the espresso machine, the clink of ceramic mugs, and the rhythmic tapping of laptops and notebooks created a classic coffee house vibe. I met with the friendly chatty barista, Andrea, who added a personal touch to my overall experience. Ordered the Alaskan Helena's Special for $10.35, which consisted of a wheat bagel with smoked salmon (lox) and cream cheese which was ready within five minutes. I am a lox connoisseur and was pleasantly delighted by the freshness of the fish with the scent of a wheat bagel. They offer many pastry items, coffees, teas, smoothies and milkshakes in addition to light brunch type eats. The bathroom was spotless boasting cool light blue paint and light brown wooden flooring. Definitely will return for a taste of some of their other eats. read more

We had the Rome wrap, the Mexican wrap, and two mango smoothies. The wraps were good and had plenty of filling. The mango smoothies tasted good also and were refreshing, though more juice-like in consistency than the smoothies we're used to. Nice atmosphere and seating options. read more

Helena's Coffee is a great spot for food, snacks like pastries, coffee, and more in Plantation. I'm always on the hunt for a space to work from with wifi! This time, I was in the Plantation area and, after a quick search on Yelp, I found Helena's. It's a cute lil coffee shop with a good amount of seating, perfect to work from or even catch up with a friend. It was clean and super easy to order from the register, but I warn you, you'll be tempted by the pastry case & display. I had to grab some empanadas, banana muffin, and a mini alfajor. For drinks, we got an iced matcha latte (of course) and one of the iced tea drinks. Something to note- the iced drinks only come in one size which is the larger one. Now I typically can't even finish a small matcha drink but this one was so good, I finished it by the end of the day! I only added macadamia milk (another plus to them for carrying this milk) but it was the perfect amount of sweet. The space itself was so ideal to work from. Comfortable seating and tables, plus nice light that streams from outside on a sunny day. I'm excited to come back the next time I'm in the area and might need a place to work from. read more

Cute café! After seeing this spot at a plaza near my place, finally decided to take a quick stop here on a weekend morning. Inside was spacious with plenty of seating and tables. There was quite a few people inside but nice and quiet. There are a lot of drink options ranging from the coffees, teas, smoothies, etc. They also had seasonal drinks as well. Also as it is a cafe they do have a variety of pastries. I ordered an iced Mocha latte. Absolutely delicious. It took willpower not to chug the whole drink right then and there, lol. The staff was incredibly friendly and the wait for my drink didn't take long at all. I can't wait to come back to try some of their pastries! read more

I love this little coffee shop! Its super clean and quaint, and service is always great. While waiting for your order, there are a few comfortable areas to sit. They have a nice offering of menu items including sandwiches, salads, desserts. I go in especially for the chai tea latte. It's always perfectly done and tastes great. They have a loyalty card that will get you free items if you frequent the place. The only downside is that they close too early:( I choose this place over the chain coffee shops any day:) read more

I absolutely love coming to Helena's. Not only do they go all out decorating for each major holiday, they are extremely pet-friendly. I usually bring my dog and get a latte, tequeño, and a pan de bono. I've also branched out and tried a croissant sandwich freshly made with turkey and swiss, which was very reasonably priced at $6 and change. I am grateful for the welcoming atmosphere and team! read more

Super cute coffee spot. I had the mocha latte & a beef empanada. Delicious! I'll be back soon.

I didn't even know about this place until Marilu F. suggested it. A quaint little coffee shop that knows how to treat customers well. We found a cozy corner to settle in and waited for our food I ordered a medium coffee and it was huge. Everything about it was perfect. The spinach empanada was wonderful too. I can see why they are a favorite here. It was fresh and had lots of spinach. This is a great spot and I will be stopping in again when I'm in the area. The service was excellent. We got to chat and enjoy the afternoon with no rush. read more

When traveling, my first objective is to locate a small business / local coffee shop vs. patronizing coffee chains. Thanks to Yelp friends, I narrowed it down to a few and was glad to visit Helena. Their espresso and coffee selection was great - plus the pastry case looked delectable! The team was friendly and welcoming. I got an iced cappuccino, perfect for a refreshing energy kick in the Florida heat. I enjoy tasting my actual espresso - not sugar - and this was perfectly balanced. My only complaint is I tried to go back before heading to the airport but they weren't open yet. I highly considered running late for my flight for this coffee, but I'll be back :) read more

I had been in this plaza before and never realized this was here. In fact, I only knew of the existence of this coffee shop thanks to Ariel W.'s glowing review. I meant to go on Easter, but given that it was a holiday, I called first and it looks like they were closed as they never picked up. No matter. It's completely understandable and so instead I went another day with Mary Ann C. This little coffee shop is very spacious and has some quite comfortable couches. We sat there while we sipped our coffee and had our treats. I opted for a small little cheesecake mousse thing and she had an empanada. Given that there were no complaints, I'm assuming we were both happy. I know I was. As for the coffee, we both ordered the medium size and were surprised how big it is. It'll definitely keep you caffeinated all day long. I'm kind of sad I'm moving and unlikely to return for quite some time. I could've easily seen this becoming my go-to coffee shop for those days I have to do work and/or study. read more

Nutella cappuccino iced w/ half and half 8/10 I really liked this drink which usually can be too sweet but it was the perfect amount of sweetness. The only thing is I really couldn't taste much of was the espresso flavor but that is usually what happens when you get a drink like this, it kinda becomes like chocolate milk. But it was still delicious to me! Would probably come back to try something more traditional so I can actually taste the espresso. The ambience was very nice and staff were great! Only wished they would have offered some recommendations when I mentioned I'd never been here before. read more

Helena’s Coffee - Nutella cappuccino iced w/ half and half ~ 8/10 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plantation, Florida

Okay, this is probably my favorite new-to-me coffee shop in Broward. It pretty much has everything: a nice ambiance, comfy seating options, a full menu of beverages, snacks, and meals, friendly service, fast wifi, fair prices, all the self-serve coffee condiments you might want, free and easy parking, and clean restrooms. That said, I will say that my coffee itself (12 oz americano) wasn't the best, being a little bitter/burnt and watery, with a lingering aftertaste. Still, given everything else, and given that other coffee afficionados seem to like the product here, I'm happy giving them 5* for now and giving the coffee another chance in the near future. read more

This is such an adorable spot to grab a cup of coffee and a treat. I was in the area hiking and needed a caffeine fix and snack and I found Helena's in the nearby Fountains a few doors down from Kohls. Helena's is always decorated for the holidays and during my visit it was dressed for Valentine's Day. They have a few tables set up on the patio out front along with more tables inside and a lounge area with a couch. Helena's serves all of your favorite hot and cold beverages along with savory empanadas and sweet pastries like a macaron, blueberry scone, nutella croissant, and apple and cream braid. I opted for their Valentines Day special of a cupid mocha iced latte and a ham and cheese empanda which was warmed up for me. My chocolate coffee was the perfect pick me up to keep me going through my afternoon errands and the empanada was the right size to curb my hunger. Fun fact: In October First Lady Jill Biden stopped by for coffee and an impromptu meet and greet at Helena's with Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz whose district includes Plantation. Helena's is so cozy and I love that they have a sign on their door stating they are dog friendly. Whether you are two footed or four, you are sure to find something to enjoy at Helena's Coffee. read more

Such an inviting cafe and welcoming staff! I was immediately greeted as soon as I entered and had such a lovely experience with the staff. They were just so genuine and friendly. I quickly placed my to-go order and received it within minutes. Plenty of parking and seating inside and outside as well! They warmed the raspberry white chocolate scone for me and the flavor was amazing! Texture wise, not very much a scone, but the flavor alone is worth it. I absolutely loved the iced mocha latte with macadamia nut milk. First off, it's my favorite type of milk alternative AND it had the correct coffee to mocha consistency in taste. It didn't just taste like one or the other. Would come back for the wonderful customer service alone, but the food and coffee are definitely worth it too! read more

My go to study spot! This place is clean and plenty of tables for people to sit and have a coffee or even a sweet pastry!

We also ordered the chocolate almond pretzel pastry and that was super tasty when it was warmed up! I ordered the iced caramel latte as well as tried the latte version and it was tasty! I am a fan of their coffee! And it's pretty inexpensive.. each item ranges from $5+..'so not bad at all. The staff is nice as well! I really enjoyed doing work here as well as enjoyed my Cup of coffee!! The music is a bit loud for this cafe but overall, this place is super nice and I will definitely be back! read more

I'm so happy to have another local coffee spot so close to me! I'd been following Helena's since before they opened and was thrilled when they finally did. Staff is always attentive and ready to serve or answer any questions. The inside is usually nicely decorated for the holidays, but maintains and nice, modern decor, regularly. I don't have a dog, but I love that the outside AND inside are doggy friendly. Today I got an oat milk latte, blueberry scone, and pan de bono, to go. The latte is delicious and strong, just like I asked. The pan de bono hot and savory, and the scone was more muffin than scone, but still delicious, so I can't complain. So, if you're looking for a new, local and woman owned business to support, this is the place! read more

Helena’s Coffee - Macaroon x1 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plantation, Florida

Was headed somewhere else and ended up here. I was eventually expecting to try this place but ended up here by coincidence. It's located in the fountains shopping plaza next door to kohls. Parking here has always and continues to be challenging. But I found a spot after a few go arounds. They have indoor and umbrella covered outdoor seating. Loved the decor and the vibe. It was bright, clean and had cool tunes. Unfortunately the service was sorely lacking. My iced latte was really bitter, even after adding sweetener. I was only able to drink half before throwing it out. The beef empanada had a nice dough and filled heartily but the beef lacked flavor. Not a spot I'd likely return to. read more

Neighborhood coffee shops are popping up in every suburban town. On a rainy Sunday morning; we decided to give this spot a try. Just walked in when they opened for business we ordered two coffees - cappuccino and latte - as well as two pasties- pan de bono (Colombian cheese bread) and a Nutella croissant. The coffee was spot on - very flavorful. The pastries were decent. What sets this place apart is the friendly service. So many times I have walked into a place sleepy and in need of caffeine and I get the barista with an attitude not wanting to be here. Not this place - extremely friendly, polite and got the order the first time. The place is very cute with two lounge sofas and plenty of tables as well. It's a hit and will definitely come back! read more

Been wanting to try this spot for awhile. I decided to visit yesterday morning. I was slightly disappointed with the service, it wasn't busy at all. It was my first time hear and I was looking for an enthused service. Regardless, I decided to give the dulce de le frappé a try- it was very good. I was craving a caramel based frappe, I asked the young lady that was at the register and she recommended. It was deliciously sweet and satisfied my sweet tooth. I'd definitely give this spot another try as inside was decorated so elegant with a lady in different places around the world. read more

This is a busy little coffee shop. And I was hoping to get some work accomplished, but unfortunately, between the five loud employees behind the desk and the group of cackling ladies at a table in front of me, I could barely hear myself think. I'm so confused. I thought people were supposed to be quiet in here. And then this weirdo came and sat across from me and started taking pictures of me. End it was obvious! I am so confused. Is this Allowed in a coffee shop? And I thought coffee shops supposed to be quiet? Not loud, laughing and Employee's yelling from the register to the back. Clearly they do not have respect for patrons or people that are just trying to work. I absolutely would not recommend. Plus the prices are high. Will not be coming back. Do not waste your time if you are looking for a quiet place to sit. read more
