From the moment I entered this beautifully adorned coffee shop, my experience was 10/10! Kylie helped me at the register and she was an absolute PLEASURE. I ordered the drip coffee with a shot of espresso and almond milk. It was fantastic. Dark, smooth and creamy, just the way I like it. I also ordered the egg sammy which came with avocado, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and spicy aoli on a croissant. It was so delicious!!! The interior design was also so cute! I love the grass wall inside. There are a few tables. I sat here for a while doing some computer work. It was quiet. Really enjoyed my experience here. I will be back!

My friends and I stumbled upon Long Story Short on Black Friday when we realized the deli next door was closed. It's a very small, but cute coffee shop with various drinks and a short food menu. You order at the counter, and the staff brings the food and drinks to your table. I ordered the tiramisu latte, which was delicious. The espresso was smooth and the drink wasn't too sweet. I also ordered the avocado toast, which was fresh and flavorful. It's a very cute place with really good coffee and good food! I highly recommend it!

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.

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!

Say hello to the amazing Yelp CM Melodie, my dear friend. She is one of the kindest, and sweetest people I know and love.

We didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar but that was no issue as it was just the two of us! The staff were very friendly to us as we walked in and immediately offered us some water and we were only getting drinks that day so we ordered a matcha latte with the whipped coffee on top as well requested almond milk. We saw them hand, whipped both the coffee and also whisk up the Matcha, which was a pleasant surprise. We didn't need additional sweetener but it was overall a really good matcha! We sat there for about 45 minutes enjoying our drinks and never felt rush. It was definitely busy inside but nothing terrible or cramped inside. They had some light music playing and all the Florida decorations made it beautiful inside. I would definitely come back and try one of their fluffy pancakes!

Not bad at all but our server seemed to be quite busy and forgot things we asked for often. Maybe she was new but it wasn't a huge deal since she was nice. The food and matcha are phenomenal! Everything was so tasty! Their popular pancakes are about a 30 minute wait but well worth it in my opinion. They are flavored beautifully and the fruit and whip accent them perfectly. When I'm back in Boca again, I will definitely visit this place.

We also both got the bagel bomb -- it was more like a croissant stuffed with cream cheese than an actual bagel, but still delicious. Mine came out piping hot, and the cream cheese was scorching too, so I had to let it cool before taking another bite. They also have juices, water, and other grab-and-go bites in the cooler near the front entrance. There's seating inside and outside, plus a covered corner area near a green space that was really nice -- that's where we sat to chat and sip. I know there's a location closer to home for me, so I can't wait to check that one out too. Overall a nice place with delicious drinks and small bites. You get what you pay for -- it was $25 for both our iced drinks and bagel bombs -- but I get it, and I wasn't disappointed with the quality. I'd definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

The staff was so so sweet, when I ordered they even asked if I wanted extra paradise sauce (who doesn't want extra??) 10/10 no notes. The sausage & egg is obvi solid but the sauce does push it over the edge. I would like to check out the other locations- this was one a decent size, good amount of seating in & outside.

He held their last napoleon for me, as I planned on coming late, and was very happy to be able to get some quality quiche and French pastries until 10 PM on a Saturday night! Irena, from Ukraine, was very nice and helpful at the counter when I arrived and served me at a table.. I had a delicious iced matcha latte that I sweetened with their packets of natural stevia that are mixed with a little sugar. And the asparagus and Brie quiche was so perfectly balanced and delicious with a great buttery made-from-scratch crust that I quickly ate it all along with the small side salad that comes with a simple olive oil and lemon dressing. Because it was so good, and I hadn't eaten all day and night, I also ordered a piece of their other type of quiche that has mushrooms, spinach and goat cheese in it, heated up, but to go, since they were closing soon. It is also very good, but I definitely prefer the asparagus Brie quiche. I got a napoleon and pavlova slice to go. I was a bit disappointed with their napoleon and don't think I would order it again; I didn't like the pastry layers (that were not crispy and cold by their closing time); nor did I really care for the pastry creme filling that much. But their incredible pavlova desert with crunchy, yet airy and fluffy meringue, whipped cream, strawberries, raspberries and toasted almond slices is a blissful, must-have dessert!
