"The Alchemist made me realize that all breakfast sandwiches should come with avocado and a mason jar of iced coffee. Grabbing a quick bite to eat can easily turn into sitting on their porch for an hour and a half. It's a small, local coffee shop that has everything going for it." - Nick Rourke
"We blame the many mall food court crap-eries for diminishing the status of the crêpe, which is why we almost skipped this restaurant entirely. But Voo La Voo truly respects the crêpe and its heartier savory cousin, the galette. The menu follows the rules: sweet fillings get stuffed into a delicate white flour crêpe, while savory fillings get wrapped in a chewier buckwheat galette. You can take your food to go, but it’s hard to walk past the charming covered patio and not take a seat. Just know that Voo La Voo is only open for breakfast and lunch." - carlos c olaechea

The gorgonzola, bacon, and apple galette with honey and walnuts is not only filling—but will make you feel better after a Leatherwerks employee tells you they’re out of your size.

"The Alchemist is a coffee shop in Wilton Manors that also serves breakfast and lunch. They have a selection of tartines they call slicers, but most of the food here is kind of lackluster. The Alchemist specializes in percolator coffee and is one of the few coffee shops in South Florida still making coffee using this old-school technique. They also have a few unique, non-percolated coffee drinks like a very sweet iced coffee made with cold brew, condensed milk, and brown sugar that tastes like liquid coffee ice cream. The best part about this place isn’t the food or coffee, though—it’s the lovely patio where you can catch up with friends or people watch on the weekends, when this place gets a little too busy." - Carlos C Olaechea
