Inside

This place was so cute! We stumbled upon it after eating lunch nearby and the coffee was delicious. The barista gave great recommendations and made the coffee very quick. We recommended it to a few friends staying nearby as well and they enjoyed it too!

Strawberry matcha and Turkey sandwich with chips
Jamie V.

Cute place but parking lot is cramped and packed, the food and drinks are good but a bit overpriced. The inside of small, but does have some seating available. They offer a student discount which is nice. Service was great, everyone was super sweet.

Pistachio matcha
Mackenzie G.

Best pistachio matcha EVER. They line the cups with this "pistachio butter" that is sooo good. Love how they put the flowers on the cups too!

Egg Sammy with side Egg Sammy with Avocado Sandwich
Amber S.

You know what I love? An egg sandwich done right. And at Long Story Short they do it right! Located right in the midst of downtown Boca Ratón along a strip mall is where you'll find this quaint yet trendy little cafe. I became very familiar with the area since I stayed in a nearby hotel for work and on the morning I had available to explore, I found Long Story Short while walking around. I ordered the Egg Sammy with Avocado and can truly say I enjoyed every bite. They scramble their egg with butter and pair it with avocado--now, I'm a big texture person and if there's one thing I love is the combination of eggs and avocado tucked away in some yummy bread and melted cheddar cheese. Somehow they managed to make this indulgent breakfast sandwich feel rather healthy--perhaps it was the side salad they pair it with (you know...balance!) or the way they wrap it and present it. All I know it was delicious and next time I find myself in the area for breakfast, I'll definitely be ordering it again. The service was good! The person who took my order was very friendly. Long story short cafe is a must try!

Lavender matcha and Iced Latte

Everything about this place was incredible. From the attention to detail with the little flowers taped onto the cups, to the friendly staff, this cafe is for sure a beautiful morning paradise. Love it. 5 stars.

Pressed Egg Sammy with Avocado Sandwich. Side Salad.

I've now been here twice, and was as impressed the second time as I was the first. This is local gem, a family operated cafe, with folk who are clearly dedicated to presenting the freshest of food options, with oversized portions, made carefully and "with love". The first time I met "big brother LE" who prepared two incredible "pressed sandwiches", each one artistically presented, and with so much food, it could have easily been shared by two. The second time I met Le's younger brother KOI, who made a hot cappuccino, and recommended the freshly made PUMPKIN SEED LOAF. I have written that in ALL CAPS, because I wanted it to pounce off the screen into your brains!!!it was DELICIOUS. FRESH. SPRINKLED WITH FRESH REAL PUMPKIN SEEDS. Le was present when I complemented Koi on its tastiness, and he explained that because they did not have an oven on-site, they used an oven at home to make it and then bring it into the cafe. Dedicated, creative, hardworking family, and the cafe is always occupied by one or two of the children, and often with either the Mom or Dad. Younger locals operate the register and usually make their well prepared specialty coffees, and one of the family members makes their numerous shakes/smoothies/drinks. And it appears the smoothies are very popular . We observed several people ordering their specialty smoothies each time we were present. But honestly, take my advice and try one of their sandwiches or salads. We had the SIMP, overflowing with smashed Avocado, Honey Smoke Turkey, Tomatoes, Micro Greens, Olive Oil Drizzle, served on a fresh French-like bread, and then heated in the presser, with a golden browned finished pressed sandwich. Served with a large side of freshly cut fruit, it surely was a healthy meal. Seating for 8 inside, including two two topped tables and 4 at the counter. The cafe was immaculate. And the patio seating area had seating for only about 6. The bathroom was immaculate, the entire cafe was! Located next door to the bagel place, which is very popular, patrons are often those eating/drinking, at the patio tables belonging to Long Story Short. You all shouldn't do that and I'm sure you realize what you're doing - please don't hog the tables meant for the coffee shop patrons. That's not really nice. At all. LONG STORY SHORT is a God-send locally operated family business. They likely out their life savings into the enterprise and deserve all the support that Yelpers know how to offer! See my many photos and you'll get a good idea what you'll be missing if you don't support LONG STORY SHORT.

Long story short I love this charming cafe! You can find Long Story in Mizner Plaza across the street from Mizner Park. Their menu is mainly sandwiches, drinks, coffee and tea, smoothies, and acai. They have a few tables inside and a few more out front. I first fell in love with Butterfly Pea Flower at Blu Arroz Asian Bistro in Stuart. It is an amazing restaurant if you ever find yourself up that way. They make a Butterfly Pea Flower Tea that it is made from a dried, cobalt blue flower that is native to Southeast Asia. Are you ready for a laugh? Its scientific name is Clitoria ternatea. It has a bright blue color and it is sometimes used as a food coloring. I don't see it used as an ingredient too often where I live so when bright blue drinks started popping up on my Yelp feed I knew I had to come in and try them out. I came in on a late Saturday afternoon and ordered a lavender latte tea which uses the flower. You can also have the drink made with coffee. I was handed my bright blue drink and it was perfect with the right amount of sweetness. It tastes like a less intense Chai tea which they also serve. Best of all my drink was only $5 which is a pretty good price for Boca. I'm already addicted to the lavender tea so I'll be back to try some of the food next. time like their famous Japanese sando sandwich made with fresh cream and strawberries.

Matcha with Oatly
Clay D.

Good matcha. Wished it was hotter, but it is a good quality matcha at least. They ran out of agave syrup unfortunately. Will try again, but will ask to ensure matcha is hotter. Good service.

Long Story Short is a cute little cafe in Boca Raton. Located in a little strip mall right next to Mizner Park alongside a lot of small businesses. All the times I've come to Mizner Park, I never knew this plaza existed so I'm happy I ventured here to work for a little. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and although it is a small location, it gives you all the cafe feels! Their decor matches how beautiful their food and drinks are. I have been on the hunt for Japanese sandos & butterfly pea drinks and this place has them both! Sometimes, food doesn't taste as good as it looks but this place did not disappoint! The Japanese fruit sando has a whipped cream and strawberries and it wasn't overly sweet. The Lavender Iced Tea was so good and I was able to substitute with oat milk! They have wifi so it was a great place to work from with snacks and lunch items. Excited for the next time I'm in Boca to try more of their menu items.

Japanese Sando
Melodie M.

I want to begin with my love for this plaza. This unassuming little strip mall is packed with intense flavors, local eats. Can I move in?! Despite being a very small space, this Cafe packs a punch! I was already a fan after my last visit, where I was able to meet the charming owner. This visit, I was so happy to see a steady stream of patrons keeping 3 smiley folks behind the counter on their toes. I was lucky enough to try their Japanese Sando, which isn't always in stock. I had read about these and was thrilled to be trying it out. The crusts-off white bread sandwich reminded me of a dainty English high tea, with the gluttony goodness of homemade whipped cream and giant, whole strawberries beckoning. The bread offset the sweetness of the middle and provided a nice texture against the cream and berry. It tasted as amazing as it sounds! My chai tea without sweetener was also reliably as good as last time. Complimentary wi-fi and a table and chairs outside- on the front sidewalk practically pressed into he facing parked cars- was a weird but functional space to work while sipping and snacking. My friend and I stayed for a couple of hours; perfect place for this!

Swedish chocolate cream cold brew
Stephanie W.

I've been hearing a lot about this cafe lately, so I finally wanted to check it out! I got one of their drinks if the week, the Swedish chocolate cream cold brew. What I liked about it was the thickness of the cream on top. I wasn't a fan of the flavor, it was very bitter akin to 80% dark chocolate flavor. The cashier recommended a shot of syrup, as he warned it wouldn't be sweet. Even with the simple syrup shot, it wasn't sweet at all. Unfortunately they seem to be following the trend of expensive coffee in Boca, as this one was $8. I'm starting to worry that we'll never go back to the old prices of good coffee/lattes

Such a cute coffeeshop! They tape little flowers on your cup, and the decorations complete the cute floral look.

I stopped into Playa today for a Veterans Day bowl. I honestly didnt know about the location but…read morewhen somene had mentioned they had a deal going on I drove over yesterday morn. It was easy to find, it was right on a strip of businesses on Palmetto. I walked in to cheerful place, but no customers at the moment. 3 employees were chatting. When i stepped up, only 1 actually noted I was there. her name was Becky. I mentioned the bowl and she said they didn't have that offer. I found it on their Instagram. Apparently they are a franchise model and the post was done by only 1 location. I was a little bummed, but Becky said, you know what, I will take care of your bowl. I wasn't sure what to get, but she mentioned one with peanut butter and bananas and i was all about it. I left, after the the order and enjoyed a very tasty bowl. And I will be back. Hopefully to the same positive vibes as this visit.

I grabbed a bowl loaded with fresh strawberries, bananas, crunchy granola, cacao nibs, and an amazing peanut butter drizzle. Every bite was energizing and satisfying. The texture combo was on point,creamy, crunchy, and sweet and it totally made my recovery feel like a reward. Plus, it looked just as good as it tasted. Highly recommend for runners, beachgoers, or anyone needing a tasty pick-me-up.

Hubby and I just wrapped up an errand in one of the business parks along Yamato near Congress and I…read morewas in a need for coffee and a snack; I did a search for the nearest Starbucks and then I noticed "The Seed" and I was quite surprised. Never knew they opened another one (usually we visit the one on Palmetto). We walk in and it was packed; about 10 people in line and no where to sit. Outside had a couple of open tables on the sidewalk but it was hot. Of course I still ordered and we took our goodies to go. I had their Cappuccino (extra hot) and my hubby tried their Cold Brew White... great drinks. We also shared a baked chicken empanada.

The setup of The Seed is similar to most coffee shops. You walk up to the counter, order and then…read morepick it up on the other side of the counter. The service at this location was not it. When I walked up to the register, I wasn't greeted or spoken to. I began ordering and asked for nonfat milk. The woman, with an attitude, said "we don't have nonfat milk. Only two percent or alternative milks." I felt like I was being judged because it was clear I was not a regular customer. The coffee itself was really good. My latte was very smooth. I also ordered a spinach and cheese empanada, which was filled well and tasty. There are also not a lot of seats inside, but they have additional seating outside. The coffee and food is good. I would recommend going to their other locations though.
