Roasting Buddies

Absolutely love this place. The staff is always friendly and professional, and the service is top-notch. They serve beautifully baked Argentine empanadas that are as tasty as they look. The coffee menu is a dream for European-style coffee lovers, flat whites, cappuccinos, lattes, you name it. The pastries and bakery items are fresh and delicious, perfect for pairing with your drink. The decor is charming, with a cool vibe that resembles an old-school coffee trading post. Great atmosphere, great people, and great coffee, Roasting Buddies is definitely a local gem.

This is a wonderful place to have breakfast and the coffee is delicious. I have been here several times and it doesn’t disappoint. I strongly recommend it to everyone looking for a great atmosphere and delicious food. Even when I had a little issue with my food the manager went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied.

I am very disappointed at this place and sad to have to finally write this review. First off the service has never been great. But I kept giving it chances and ignoring it just because I enjoyed the beef empanadas. Today I decided to give it a chance again and the same guy always has a cocky attitude. He needs training in customer service. Makes the ambiance a terrible place. The worst part is that the food quality has definitely gone down. I bought a pavlova today to take home and now that I sit to enjoy it I opened a MOLDY pavlova. GROSS and totally unacceptable. I mean how long have they had it there without checking food quality?? This is very questionable to me. Not sure I'll be back after today.

I've always loved this place so I feel sad writing this. I had breakfast today there with my mom and the service was awful. The young man in the cashier, he has black, long ish hair was so rude and had a nasty attitude. When I asked him for a to-go coffee cup (the ones provided have a whole so the coffee would spill while driving), he directed me to ask the barista. I asked him for tape and he said there wasn't any. When I asked the barista for a to-go cup or tape, voila. The lovely girl found tape close to the register. As my mom and I were about to leave, I went to the front to ask for a box to take the rest of the food home. I figured I would take the uncooked potatoes home so I could cook them myself. The gentleman was indeed busy, taking an order to another customer and while me and another girl waited at the register, I looked to my left and saw him playing basketball with napkins. If you look at all of my other reviews, I tend to leave really nice reviews, and I've worked in the restaurant business so I understand how hectic things can be. But this guy in the front has an attitude that is even felt/seen by his mannerisms and demeanor. He also rolled his eyes at me....? Are you kidding? My omelette was fine but the potatoes were undercooked, pale, and hard. Eating out had become a luxury and it's really unfortunate to have an experience like this and such bad customer service. Even sadder that the owner doesn't seem to acknoledge or make any forms of repair to a customer that goes there pretty often. I've read recent reviews and wow, seems like the quality has gone down a lot and...it shows.

The food and service were both excellent. I had the avo toast, which is avocado toast with hard broiled eggs and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette. I plan on coming back.

I went here the other day and let me tell you it was mid quality. I was so excited to go here because it has great reviews and I saw many pretty pictures. I ordered the petite filet minion and a coffee. The steak was made with way too much oil and it barely had any flavor, which was disappointing to say the least. The coffee was okay, I don’t have much to complain about it. Half way through eating my food I started to have a stomach ache and by the time I arrived at home I was in absolute pain. My stomach was bloated and hurt so much for the rest of the day and the morning after. My friends also ordered from here and had the same exact reaction. I don’t recommend this place to anyone unless they want a stomach ache.

Great place to have a sweet bite with a friend while supporting a local business. The atmosphere is nice and you can sit comfortably and chat with friends or I’ve seen a few folks from time to time study or take calls for work/personal with their laptop in hand, similar feel to those who do the same at Starbucks. The sweet bites are pretty good. The coffee is pretty good. I also had the pizza and it was very cheesy. My kids enjoyed it. Overall it’s pretty good. I don’t have any complaints. The servers were nice and very helpful. It’s worth a try.

My husband and I recently discovered Roasting Buddies in Pembroke, and it was amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and a delightful aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans. The ambiance is perfect — a mix of modern and rustic charm with plenty of seating for those looking to relax, work, or catch up with friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happy to recommend drinks based on my preferences. I tried their sugar free vanilla latte, and it was delicious! The coffee was perfectly brewed, rich, and full of flavor. You can really tell they take pride in sourcing and roasting high-quality beans. They also have a fantastic selection of pastries and snacks that pair wonderfully with their drinks. We opted to try their ham and cheese empanada, and it was so tasty, I almost got another one. What really sets Roasting Buddies apart is the attention to detail and the inviting atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you feel at home, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee to-go or settling in for a while. If you're in Pembroke and love great coffee, Roasting Buddies is an absolute must-visit.

Found this little gem right next to my Drs. and decided to try it, and I'm glad I did !!! Super cute and cozy. The lady who took my order helped me choose what to get. I ordered a four cheese empanada, avocado toast ( with the works) I believe it was the BLT.... it had tomatoes, bacon, eggs ( i asked for egg whites) and ricotta cheese. It was big and delish !! As far as coffee goes I am not a fan, I first ordered a cold brew vanilla and coconut and was not happy with the taste, I asked for something else and they changed it right away for a iced vanilla coffee with 2% , again not a fan of the taste. Must be the coffee... although the coffee was not a favorite, I will be coming back to try their other dishes.

After reading the reviews on Yelp we thought to give Roasting Buddies a try. I really wanted to like this coffee shop, but unfortunately, it fell short. The coffee itself was below average -- lacking the richness or flavor I usually look forward to. It tasted a bit watered down and didn't have much aroma or depth. The atmosphere inside didn't help either. The space felt dim and somewhat uninviting, with low lighting and an overall lack of warmth or comfort. It didn't have that cozy, welcoming vibe you'd expect from a neighborhood café. there was one kid working, though polite he didn't go out of way to spark up conversation nor was he suggestive. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return unless there are some improvements in both the coffee quality and the store environment. There's definitely potential here, but it needs a refresh -- both in taste and feel.

I came here after a very nerve-wracking medical appointment & was so glad that I stopped in. I ordered their Green Wrap which contains fresh spinach, scrambled eggs, mozzarella cheese in a whole wheat style wrap. It was very tasty & filling. I had to take 1/2 home. I also ordered their americano coffee & it was smooth, rich & delicious. To go I ordered 4 empanadas - the vacio (think ropa vieja) was well seasoned. The four cheese was absolutely amazing! The caprese had diced tomatoes which I welcomed vs the sliced ones I sometimes find. But the reason these were one of the best I've had is their dough! Oh my gosh - even re-heated it was buttery, flaky & not thick & chewy like some of these Argentinian empanadas can be. This is seriously a local HOT SPOT! I cannot wait to come back & get more of those tasty empanaditas!

Needed my morning coffee and traveled far into western Pines to find Roasting Buddies that had many good Yelp reviews. Upon entry, loved the tantalizing fresh coffee bean scent. DECOR: Industrial theme - Brown cement flooring with a red brick and wood panel wall backdrop. Red and chrome commericalized coffee bean roasting machine. PARKING: Due to an LA Fitness and dry cleaners next door, close parking is very limited with customers parking on the curb. STAFF: Friendly and quick service. DRINK: Espresso TASTE: Good with strong caffeine jolt. PRICE: $3.00 COFFEE/PASTRIES: Yes SEATING: Inside & outside KIOSK ORDERING: Yes Well managed casual cafe with strong tasty coffee.

Great coffee shop and cafe. Last I had been here was during peak hours on a weekend, returned during the week and it was a zen place with music and a couple people working on laptops. Got a latte with a pump of white chocolate which was delicious. Then a veggie filled omelette. My husband really enjoyed his burrata caprese. Then we split and destroyed the bread pudding, which was mouthwatering. Very friendly service, and they didn't mind our mini doodle coming in with us. Will def keep people bringing back here!

Didn't have food but it looks great! The croissants are not enormous like in other places, and seem very tasty. I had an iced latte hazelnut and really enjoyed it. The team is energetic, motivated to work, with excellent approach to help the customer. The music was also great and aligned with the chill atmosphere. Highly approved if you are in that area

Great vibe, delicious empanadas, excellent juices, fresh pressed, comfortable private seating, awesome spot to get some coffee/ juice and get some work done. Intriguing menu of Argentinian plates. Definitely will come back to sit and explore the menu. Today, was 3 empanadas and a detox juice. Perfect breakfast for being on the go.

We decided to drop in to this cozy coffee shop after dropping off a package next door to UPS and i'm so happy we did. I had the BEST apple danish and a delish cup of coffee. Honestly wish i could have had 10 of the apple danishes lol they hit the spot and tasted like the holidays! The service was quick and the waiter was friendly. can't wait to come back for another danish

In my eternal quest for late breakfast/brunch places, Yelp suggested this place somewhat near where I work, and with a 4+ rating I felt compelled to check it out. The VERDICT: while I only had one dish and a latte, that, coupled with the ambiance, solidified my original impression (as a walked from parking to the establishment) that this seemed like a BASIC place; once inside, I also found it to have SOLID SERVICE - staff was nice, responsive, and attentive. While menu offers a repertoire of food and coffee choices, from what I tried, Food also seemed basic - I can't go as far as calling it solid. First impression was the shopping mall itself, which is a flashback to a 70's Florida strip mall - I personally found it off-putting. The establishment's entrance aluminum door frame is black, and records its history with layers of encrusted gunk all around - in hindsight, that was somewhat foretelling of experience to come. Inside, it looks like at some point (many years ago) it was a cool trendy spot, but the 'used and abused' industrial meets barn house look is now largely the outcome of the passing of time and no longer because it was designed-in. It looks like place may have been envisioned by a designer, except that cousin Vini stepped in and said: hey, we can do this ourselves. The shiny painted and bowed drop-ceiling tiles are a giveaway to its age. Onto the food, the GOOD: it was VERY reasonably priced and a decent portion. I had a ham and cheese omelette with the breakfast potatoes. The cheese was cheddar vs the default mozzarella; however, had I not checked that it was indeed cheddar inside, I would have guessed Kraft individually-wrapped singles American cheese. The omelette tasted 'sweet' and as not having been made with high-quality ingredients (which was reflected in the price of $10 with potatoes, ham, cheese, other veggies and toast). At this price range, the potatoes were needless to say, not cooked to order, and they tasted as if they had just sprinkled them with some general purpose 'dry' spice seasoning - I couldn't get through them, but I'm finicky for those things. The latte had a completely underwhelming mild coffee flavor. It was very lightly colored and mildly warm - I personally enjoy more-than-hot lattes. To conclude, it's not a terrible place, but next to it there was a McDonald's, and I was so unsatisfied with my meal that I seriously considered driving through for a QP with cheese and bacon.

This cafe is a gold nugget waiting to be tried. Service was excellent, food was delicious, and the ambiance gave me NY vibes. You may think Italian or French cuisine, but it's actually Argentinian. The owner Mariano has an artistic and exquisite appeal for gourmet Cafè dining and has created the perfect coffeehouse Café here in Pembroke Pines Florida! A perfect place for socializing, meetups, biz meetings, casual hangouts, studying and family gatherings. If you haven't gotten your coffee fix and you happen to be in the area, Roasting Buddies is your place!

Went looking for a cute shop to finish the work day out of and this was great. They have free wifi, and different places you can sit and work. I recommend if you are doing to do calls or meetings to not go here because the music can get a bit loud. Overall it was a nice place looked family owned. I was excited to see they had choripán on the menu. The staff was so nice as well. I will definitely come back. At around 4pm or so it started to get a bit busy but not where you couldn't concentrate.

Breakfast was delicious and coffee was great. Service was good and ambiance was great. Had a great time with my girlfriends for a morning breakfast catch up

I love coming here to meet my sister and friends they have great food, snacks and especially the coffee. Service is great, fast and courteous. Such a chill place. I always recommend for coffee shops and more.

I don't understand why I've been waiting almost 30 minutes for a ham and cheese croissant and two juices. And when I went to ask the guy at th

I ordered a French press coffee. It wasn't brought to me in the French press. And it was literally the worst cup of coffee I ever had. And I paid $6.00 for it.

I love roasting buddies! Their hot coffees are always pretty good and the white mocachino was pretty delicious. I always forget to post their food. The food is good BUT I do have some qualms about it. For example, the bacon side was kind of expensive and the egg hash was small as well for fourteen dollars. The taste was good, it wasn't my favorite thing of theirs but not bad, just not for me. The prices also may have played a role in that tbh. Overall, I love the ambience, especially when it's quiet. I think it's a good place to get a hot coffee (their iced ones are never cold enough for some reason?) and enjoy good pastries.

Cute little cafe with ample seating. Ordered just an iced latte with soy milk and it came out to $7.17. Honestly, it wasn't worth the price and I don't think I'd come back for the coffee. What made the experience worth 4 stars is the guy who took my order. He was very sweet and made sure everything was all good. Their food looked good and they have wifi so you can work there.

Love roasting buddies. It's a super cute place. We've worked from here on a Friday but just beware that it gets super full! The coffee is great and breakfast is really good. You have to try the Nutella croissant, it's amazing. I love to get either the BLT avocado toast or the wrap with avocado. They're both delicious. The counter service, so no frills there but everyone is really nice. Sometimes the food takes long so that would be their only downfall

I had a chai and croissant pudding, the chai was just okay but I enjoyed the pudding! There was plenty of seating and it was fairly quiet, although the seats weren't the most comfortable. They have touch screens to order and then the server brings you the food. It's less personable that way but I suppose it's more efficient.

Very Expensive and poor quality food If you're paying 4 dollars for a croissant, the least you expect is for it to be fresh, not that they put it in the oven because it's stale.

This is my husbands favorite breakfast spot. The quality is consistent. The lattes are a cut above the rest! The empanadas are always fresh and warm! It's gotten to be quite popular so it can be a bit busy on the weekends but very much enjoy the cafe vibes!

It was our day off and we dropped off the kids. This place is near school, so we tried it. According to the menu they sell many things. They just opened, so not everything was in the display cases. We had some coffees. One was "cofffee temperature", the other was not. I suppose that works, since my wife usually drinks iced coffee. We were approached in Spanish, which we do not speak. Fortunately, they cater to all. According to the signage, they serve lunch and dinner besides bring a coffee place. The decor was cool. The staff wore gloves. This is a nice alternative to the chain coffee places. We may go back next year if we share a day off again.

Wow! Been wanting to come here for some time now. Finally made out and it was worth it! Food is delicious and coffee is OUTSTANDING! Staff is very helpful and give excellent service. The ambiance is so chill and coffee house vibes. Great family place.

Stopped in for some morning brew. My wife and I both got the White Mochaccino Latte. My wife wasn't overly thrilled with her coffee but she doesn't like her coffee too strong either. I thought there was a good blend of sweet and strong with my coffee. Our chicken and spinach empanada were pretty good. The place is quaint and a seemingly great spot to get work or studying done. Our service was prompt. Overall we had a nice morning, 4 G's.

It had been a while since I've been here. The staff was extremely polite and made great recommendations. I ordered in had a breakfast sandwich and coffee which was very tasty. Perfect morning!

Nice spot for breakfast and lunch. Ambiance cozy. Service was good too, the people were really kind. Good coffee

Hi Mariano - please see picture. Can I just say this check in "offer" SUCKS! Can it even be considered an offer? Wow thanks for half off old pastries. Anyways - aside from the terrible check in offer I love this place. Coffee and food is so good. Great to work here during the day. Staff is kind. I'm here at-least several times a time. One of the best coffee shops in West Pines.

I feel like a bad Yelper because I've literally been coming here at least twice a week for almost 2 months and this whole time I could've sworn I wrote a review raving about this place! If you're like me and you enjoy quality coffee, this is the spot for you. I personally love coffee shops that are laid back and that's why I've made this my go-to spot whenever I need a quick cortado to get my day started. This cafe has tons of empanadas, sweets, lattes, etc... to choose from and I've never seen someone eating or drinking something that didn't look amazing. Every time I go, I'm greeted by their amazing staff, especially this one guy who already knows my order lol, I don't know his name but he's very kind and always makes me feel welcomed. You can drop by for a snack or get comfortable and get some work done on your laptop! I'll be back tomorrow and I think you should try this spot out if you're around the Pines area.

My 1st time @ this shop...& I loved it. The ambiance was welcoming, friendly staff, awesome food, great coffee & wonderful ambiance. They have a great selection of sweet & savory food including several different options for empanadas. I ordered the spinach, egg & cheese croissant & I finished every bite. I also purchased a bag of ground coffee since it was so good. Highly recommend this place!

This is a cute coffee shop to go to, and the atmosphere is pretty calm and private. The coffee is really good, and I haven't tried their food, but other people I went with have and they said it was great as well.

The owner is *extremely* rude. When asked for coffee in a certain way, started screaming and stating "he is the owner and does not care for specific requests". The teller was also alarmed by his angry behavior. Went to Starbucks nearby where people are trained to treat "Every customer" nicely regardless of their skin color or gender.

Nice coffee shop in an unassuming plaza. It wasn't busy. They had a selection of sweet and savory snacks. Juices. Lots of good looking coffee options and tea. I got an oat milk cappuccino. I felt the beans were of good quality and low acidity. One of the patrons in passing gasped, "oh they have the good sugar here". Yep. It's organic. Ambiance was laid back, coffee shop vibes. Nothing fancy, which isn't the vibe they are going for anyway. Medium oat milk cappuccino was about $7... seemed a bit steep, so hard to tell these days with prices everywhere going up.

Cute little place with outdoor and indoor seating. You walk in and order at the counter then they bring the food to your table. Tables are first come, first serve. Seating consists of regular tables, benches, high tops and one seating with couch and love seat. They serve a variety of hot, iced and frappes. They also have fresh juices, full breakfast entrees, sandwiches, empanadas, pastries and desserts. I've only been there for breakfast so I can't comment on their lunch items. We got the RB classic breakfast that comes 2 almond milk pancakes, 2 proteins (we got ham and sausage Patty), potatoes, 2 eggs any style and a roll. Was definitely enough to share. My husband got the croissant sandwich. Both were very filling and delicious. The almond milk pancakes were super fluffy. The crossiant was nice and crispy. My kids had Pan de bonos and they chomped those down. I had the Nutella iced coffee. It was good but didn't really taste like Nutella. It tasted more like a mocha. Maybe I got the wrong drink. ‍ and it was sweeter than I'd prefer. My husband got the iced white mocha and he said he's was good. Will definitely come back.

I love trying new coffee shops. This place has a HUGE menu. Unfortunately my experience wasn't the best. When I arrived it was completely full, all tables were taken. I waited for about 10-15 mins. During that time 3 tables became available but still had the dishes left over from previous customers. I had to go to the cashier and asked him if he could clean off one of the tables so we could sit with our coffee and food. He said no problem but only took the dishes, there were food crumps left that he didn't even bother wiping off. I grabbed a napkin and did it myself. I ordered the bacon BLT avocado toast with an egg. Highly disappointed, the fried egg was COLD like it had been cooked and sitting on the side prior to be even being there, and the rest of the toast didn't have any flavor, I tried adding salt and no luck. However I did order a vanilla latte and that was delicious! If I were to go back, I would only order their coffee and take out. I wish I had a better experience so I could be a frequent dine in customer.

First time coming here and I'm glad I did! Coming inside, the vibe was very calming and relaxing! Love the layout and just how serene it almost felt. I ordered a cappuccino and while I like mine to have some sugar, it actually tastes really good without it. Definitely worth the drive coming here!

One word, empanadas! I know I should probably be saying the coffee was great (it was) but the empanadas were really the star of my breakfast. The avocado toast was really good, as was the ham and cheese omelette. You place your order at the cash register and you get a number to place on your table. It was busy on a Saturday around noon but our party of 3 was still able to find a table. It's a little out of the way from the I-75 exit but I will definitely be back! Maybe for the dinner which looked great.

I'm just not a huge fan of Roasting Buddies. I've tried them a few times going to get hooked (love supporting close small businesses), but every time I've been there's been at least one "issue." Pros: Place smells great and has a cute/cozy vibe. Also find the bites/desserts to be interesting. Cons: I've yet to have an exceptional service experience here. I would almost go so far as to say I've felt borderline unwelcome if it's been at a busier time. Also, once I requested heavy cream for my drink and they didn't have it. I kind of feel like for a coffee joint they should have all the kinds of milk! Again, it's totally "okay," just have several other coffee joints I would rather frequent!

Super cute and aesthetic place with great coffee! Didn't try the food but it sounded delicious! My interaction with the cashier was somewhat awkward but she was very nice:) definitely will be returning

Only tried the coffee here - this is ostensibly a coffee review! There are a couple of layers to this place. First, it's a must visit for coffee lovers in the area. With bean options separated by country of origin & brewing methods listed for selection, this is one of the few places in west Pines that I know of where you can nerd out on coffee. Want to know what aeropress brew taste like without buying one? They have it. Wanna compare a V60 brew to a French Press on Peruvian beans? Check them out. This area is flooded w Starbucks & bakery standard Cuban coffee, so finding this place is a welcome treat for the coffee connoisseur. Let's discuss the next layer - if you just want a quick cup of caffeine not so focused on purity of tase... this place may not be for you. At $6+ for an 8 oz of black coffee, this is not for people that run on Dunkin. You are paying for better quality coffee, yes - but you are also paying for overhead. If you need a quick pick me up more than you need an experience, maybe visit the McDs in the same parking lot. Having said that, the "overhead" I allude to is well-worth it. The ambience offers a coffeehouse theme with a calm atmosphere. Less hectic & more private than a Starbucks, this is a great place to meet up. More casual than a restaurant, it also works for catching up on work or a quick business meeting. It can be a communal spot that is rare in this part of town. And more than the coffee, that gathering spot potential is one of its distinguishable strengths. The other significant distinguishing strength on the day I visited was the service. Making freshly brewed coffee takes some time. While I expected to wait a few minutes, I was acknowledged & attended immediately. The young lady at the counter perfectly gauged how to take my order. With all the options listed, I was a little overwhelmed & just asked for regular drip coffee. Noticing that I wasn't up for the whole rundown, she simply asked me, "What kind of coffee do you usually like?". I answered "light roast, black" & thats all she needed. With that simple, discerning question, she ordered up a Peruvian bean, light roast brewed w a V60 pour over. It takes knowledge of your products & experience w customers to successfully translate a generic order to a specific serving. And Roasting Buddies delivered. I had to wait a few minutes for the order, but freshly brewed is difficult to rush. When my order was ready, both the barista & the cashier were available to answer my questions on what I was getting. And this is why I say the service is a strength. When I was hurried w my order, they met me where I was at. And when I had a moment to ask the details, they provided that as well. Maybe not the spot for a grab & go, but definitely a great business in our community!

Great location in West Pembroke Pines with a welcoming staff and cozy ambience. Perfect for solo studying or even a nice spot to catch up with old friends and family. Good number of outlets and variety of seating. Coffee itself is earthy and hosts natural tones when compared to franchise coffee.

I love this place!! Great food and great service. They have some of the best breakfast food in Pines.

I've fallen in love with this place! I've been looking somewhere nice to work and study and found it. Great WiFi and Great Coffee. I recommend an Iced Vanilla Coffee with Oat Milk!

One of our favorite place to go and bring our dog. Great food and coffee. Love their empanadas! Can't go wrong here.

Very friendly staff, super nice people and the vibe of the store is so nice. There's a lot of outlets and their wifi is pretty good. I like going there to study their coffee is really good and so is their food. Almond croissant on top

If you want a fancy egg sandwich. I ordered a veggie omelette in a sandwich, because I saw it on another review. The omelette was fried a little too hard for my liking. I added provolone cheese I believe, they have a variety of options, so that was cool. The baguette was toasted well. It was an okay sandwich, I spent about $16...I wouldn't say I'd do this again, but over all this place seems to have quality food, so maybe I'll try something that's already on their menu. Sometimes it's hard for me to place orders because a language barrier in some places and I speak no Spanish, so if you're bilingual, you may have better luck than me. But def try this place, they have great coffee! I will say that

Delicious breakfast food. Very reasonable prices. Loved the sugar free lattes . Fresh coffee all the time. Great friendly staff.

Finally made my way back to here after trying it years ago. It was delish! We tried the iced cookie butter latte, a few different empanadas, a Nutella croissant, and the classic American breakfast. Everything we tried was very tasty. My favorite was the ham and cheese empanada. Parking is a little crazy since the gym next door is so busy but we found a spot in the back. The restaurant was pretty crowded but we were able to find a table. The ordering process is a little slow. Should be someone there helping the cashier so she can take orders and someone else can grab the quick service items. We were thankful to find a high chair for my niece but it didn't fit under the table which makes it hard for her to eat.

Making my way to some coffee shops around SoFlo and stumbled upon Roasting Buddies. Let me say, this is a great spot and was tempted to give 5 stars but just thought it needed a few more things for that perfect rating. Ultimately don't let the 4 stars steer you away. For starters, this is in an unsuspecting strip mall, but then again so is every place in Florida. For a Saturday brunch hour this place was packed! So clearly not a best kept secret! After we saw the crowd we knew it was bound to be good. My biggest critique is the menu. Having never been there I wasn't looking to get a regular coffee, I was looking for a fancy latte of sorts. The menu on the wall is not a good representation of what they have to offer. With that being said, they all have fancy names which have no correlation to the type of drink it actually is. The detailed picture menu is located at the cash register. Which wouldn't be the worst thing if it wasn't so detailed. I needed a minute or two to review and was sort of being rushed to order. So although I had been on line for 7 minutes I got up to the register with 0 idea of what I wanted. The bakery is all visible so you can ogle at the baked goods will you wait. The almond croissant was probably one of the best I have had in SoFlo. They heat it up to serve. Crunchy outside, chewy and buttery inside with a delectable almond flavor throughout. The latte was also delicious. They come in sizes I believe medium and large if I recall, but there is no indication of cup size when ordering. I was a little disappointed when the latte finally arrived to our table and was just a standard cup half full. Ultimately it was a bit of an odd presentation. Not sure if smaller cups actually exist or they were just out of them but it makes you feel a little shorted, even if you did order a medium. It's the presentation! Ultimately great spot, but be prepared to wait a bit for your yummy beverage.

Came here on a Saturday around 11:30am with a co-worker. She lived close by and recommended the place. I ordered an iced mocha frapp and croissant, she ordered coffee and a cheese empanada. After placing our orders, we found some seating outside and our orders were brought to us shortly after. The frapp was ok but the croissant was delicious. Perfectly made, fresh and delicious. This is a nice spot for coffee and pastry lovers.
