Wells Coffee Tarpon River

Stopped by around 930am and they were preparing for an event. Cool vibe. A good amount of seating. Friendly service. My husband got a $6 cold brew and said it was good

We had: - tiny tiramisu 💞💞 - pumpkin pie latte 💞 - Coconut banana bread 🫶 - Cold brew with a salted honey cold foam✨ The cafe has really chill vibes and sweet baristas who seem to know what they’re doing. Overall amazing

Went there recently on a Saturday morning, all the seating outside was taken due to the cooler weather. Inside hand plenty of seating available. I was greeted and served promptly within minutes of arriving even though there was a line forming the staf worked diligently to accommodate the existing customers and the new arrivals. I ordered an iced coffee. Did not order any food only because it was vegan options and sugary items. Didn't see anything savory or the croissants. I also didn't ask. I also wasn't told or offered and that's what lost them a rating star. They also have cool merch available, a little on the pricey side. However the prices of the food and drinks are on par with other specialty coffee shops. I enjoyed the atmosphere and would like to try their hot coffee instead because I did not find their iced coffee to have much body or flavor to stand up to the ice. Overall I liked the vibe and the options and will be coming back.

I've been ordering my coffee beans from Wells Coffee ever since my son introduced me to them. It's his favorite coffee shop, and now I can see why. The staff is friendly, the coffee is exceptional, and the space is perfect for settling in to work or relax. When I asked the barista for the best iced coffee, she recommended their Cold Brew Horchata, saying it's a customer favorite. I took her advice, and it was divine. It was a perfect harmony of coffee flavor with the cinnamon and vanilla from the horchata. Highly recommend this neighborhood coffee shop. I'll definitely be back next time I'm out east!

All time favorite coffee shop. 10/10 Best quality beans because they’re roasted fresh with LOVE 😃 skilled and friendly baristas plus delightful regulars have me stopping in most mornings. Wells is a community asset 🫶🏻 if you’ve never tried to pour over their Ethiopian is off the charts. A must try. I’ve also been a huge fan of their seasonal lattes.

First time coming here was this weekend and I highly recommend. I got their vegan loaf and almond milk latte and it’s amazing. My boyfriend doesn’t like the ham and cheese croissant but he really enjoyed their bacon biscuit. This will definitely be one of my go-to spots when I’m down in South Florida.

Order: Iced - Caramel Latte, Hot - Matcha Latte, Banana Bread Cute spot with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, great for studying. Service was excellent, the staff was kind and helpful. Drinks were just okay. The matcha and caramel lattes lacked flavor, and the banana bread was greasy and stale. There was a brief moment where the owner had an opportunity to engage, he didn’t take it and completely ignored it, which was a little weird as most owners try to be more hospitable. Anyway.. Would I come back for the coffee? Probably not.

Regular coffee, nothing special. The interior is nice

I didn't even know this location existed! I found it because I went to the other Wells to get some work done and there were no tables available, so I looked up other coffee shops in the area. It has the same food/drinks and coffee shop vibe we love from Wells, and I think it may even have a little more space. The staff were super nice! I got an iced matcha latte which was really good, and it was the perfect place to sit and focus and study. It was nice and quiet with a bunch of outlets available and a variety of seating options including couches and tables. It's a little father from me than the other Wells location, but it's good to know that it's here if I'm ever out in that direction or can't get a seat at the other one.

Tight private parking lot or free street spaces available within a short walking distance. Lots of people enjoying their coffee and danish on the outside front covered patio. The line of thirsty customers presented a strange silence awaiting their morning jolt of coffee, which allowed the echoing laughter of the diligent baristas to shine through. The shiny chrome espresso machine against the back wall was working overtime pressing out my double espresso of liquid gold. A strong aroma of medium roast throughout was tickling my nasal cavity. An extensive variety of coffees and teas were available to purchase for home brewing. Proudly displayed Wells Coffee brand stamped on the front of each bag. My double shot iced coffee was strong with a roasty scent which made coping with morning travel a little more enjoyable.

Everything is great. Coffee and matcha are fantastic. Awesome vibes to sit inside and hang out with friends. But please do more DJ events not in the summer it was HOT

Great if you want to wait 20 minutes for a coffee. The coffee was really bitter and kind of overpriced. The atmosphere was very cool though. There was one person in front of me when I ordered but when I finally got my order there were about a dozen people waiting and only one person working the espresso machine. They probably need another machine.

Limited parking space and paid parking spots. Location is packed with people, which indicates it's a popular spot. I had a drip coffee and the BB roast. Great cup of joe. Really enjoyed this roast, have to come back and get myself a bag of whole beans. There is outside seating as well. Glad I came by.

I went to Wells Coffee based on an "influencer's" post & they were RIGHT! My strawberry Chai tea was absolutely delicious & the ambiance is splendid!! Decor is very cute, indoor seating is very cozy and there's a variety depending what vibe you're looking for. I chose an outdoor table to enjoy my tea and do some work. I'll return in a few days to enjoy another drink & the ambiance & rather more photos. Service was good. The only minus is the parking. There are 3 free spaces & otherwise a paid lot.

I almost didn't give this place a try because of the parking is horrible. There's minimal parking in front of the coffee shop or you can park on the other side on a bunch of rocks. I went on a day where it wasn't so busy. And ordered an iced latte to go before work. I waited a long time for my order and was getting a bit frustrated. Not sure why it took the barista so long because it wasn't that many orders and he didn't take pride in crafting the drinks. He basically poured everything in the cup and didn't try to mix up my drink. When I finally received my drink and tasted it. I was hoping for the best despite the sloppy presentation of the drink. Sadly it wasn't that good. Therefore, theres no reason for me to return here. It too many other coffee shops thats around.

It's always a pleasure to visit Wells, and even more so now at this new location! Great place to chat, work, and enjoy the artsy vibes. The pastries are tempting and service is good. Classic spot - will continue to recommend!

This place was so cute with so many indoor and outdoor seating options; at the time we came, they were setting up for a DJ outside which looked to be fun although we didn't get to see the final product. I ordered a coffee and a breakfast burrito and I have no regrets, both were fantastic. The service was a little cranky, imo, but otherwise no complaints!

Delicious coffee spot, and only 4 parking spots?? Otherwise it's $2.85 per hour on the ParkMobile app. I guess I'm never in this part of downtown Fort Lauderdale but I was taken back by the lack of parking. Service was fast, and the breakfast treats were nice. There's a steady stream of people walking in, locals with leashed dogs grabbing coffee to go.

Cute coffee shop across the street from Tarpon River Brewing. Side note, the brewery staff recommended I go there for coffee and allowed me to bring it back! Also, Wells gives a 10% block discount t if you are at another store in the area. Staff was friendly, helpful m, and even created a cup of coffee to my liking based on what I wanted and what they have. Pleasant interior with comfy couches, desks for those who want to work or study and even a couple of meeting rooms. Pretty cool coffee shop!

This place always is a winner! The coffee is great and there's some yummy food options as well. I recently had to go dairy free, and they had plenty of choices for me along with vegan baked goods, so I didn't have to worry. I tried their special mustachio iced latte, and it was one of the best pistachio lattes I've tried recently. It was a great stop on my way to run errands, in and out quickly, and they were packed, not a table to be had. The only downfall here is the lack of parking. Especially when it's crowded, you may have to park on the next street or in the pay by phone lot. Besides that, it's overall one of the best Fort Lauderdale coffee spots.

We went on a Saturday afternoon. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is free parking. I had the chai tea latte made with their own brewed chai! They do put sugar on their chai. They froth the milk into the latte. You can get it iced or hot. My friend had a green Tea. They brew it with loose leaf tea. Cool hangout spot.

Came here on a busy Saturday morning. It was pretty packed but we were able to find a table outside. They had lots of vegan options (coconut Banana bread) which I appreciated since the person I was with was lactose intolerant. There was a bit of a wait to get our drinks but it was worth it. I appreciated that they gave you a heads up about them running behind as you were paying. Overall very chill vibe and good quality coffee. I will definitely be back.

Omg I'm obsessed with this coffee shop. This was my go-to after clinicals. It's unfortunate they don't have one in Miami (pls, open one). The coffee is 1000/10 and I found the prices unbeatable (compared to Starbucks). Love that they have lots of seating, free WiFi, you're able to plug your phone/laptop & it's a great coffee shop for studying. Their playlist is also 1000/10. Staff is always nice & welcoming.

Ambiance: Modern coffee shop with outdoor patio seating as well as indoor seating options. Pet friendly and offers WiFi for anyone working from home. A bit too warm inside and the service wasn't the best - a bit slow and they completely forgot to make half of our order. However, I can see how locals would enjoy this spot for meetings or a quick coffee.

Great matcha! Staff is always friendly and quick. I've came here to get out of the office for a little to work. Not too loud and can use their WiFi for 2 hours.

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife and twins for our morning coffees. Whenever our family is traveling, we always try to hit up local coffee shops and on this day we happened to find Wells Coffee. This location has a couple of dedicated parking spots (4) in a tight lot. Then they had a couple of tables to sit at outside as well as quite a few more inside. Near the cash register they had a pastry display case filled with baked goods and then a cooler filled with what looked like was local drinks. For our coffees on this morning my wife and I both went with the cold brew horchata and then we also ordered my daughter the "pink donut" which ended up being a vegan strawberry donut. Both my wife and I really ended up enjoying our coffees. I have to admit that I am a sucker for horchata and so I loved the cinnamon milky flavor combined with the coffee. My daughter ate less of the donut than I expected and so I ate over half of it. It was a nice glazed donut with a sweet strawberry frosting. The exterior had a little crisp to it while the interior was soft. Honestly, if the register hadn't noted that it was vegan, I wouldn't have been able to tell. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. My wife and I both enjoyed our coffees and we thought the donut was good as well.

Wells Coffee is a nice place to grab a cup of coffee to go, but the atmosphere is also nice for working. There are a decent number of tables spaced out, and there is usually a spot to work. I haven't tried any of their pastries/food, but their coffee is quite good.

Wells Coffee holds a special place in my heart; it's my haven of happiness and my cup of joy! I find myself here a few times a week, and their coffee is my absolute favorite - it's consistently delicious every single time. It's no wonder they're considered one of the best in the Miami area - other cafes even use their beans! They have a modest selection of food for a quick breakfast or snack, like frittatas, empanadas, and croissants. I just wish they had a bit more variety, but what they do offer tastes pretty good. The baristas are always friendly and super attentive. It's the kind of place where they remember your usual order, and that personal touch makes the experience even better. Honestly, Wells Coffee is my happy place, and every visit there boosts my mood and brings a little extra sunshine into my day

When I checked out the location in Flagler Village, I had to check out the Tarpon River location and it did not disappoint. I don't want to be too repetitive but I enjoy both locations. The baristas were super awesome, allowing me to create my drink reels for Instagram so if it's not up yet, follow me to check it out when it goes live @lifewithalivlogs. The industrial vibe is right up my alley. The exposed pipes combined with the wood gives it such a chill vibe. I did have an oat milk mocha at this particular location and it was delicious. I didn't expect anything less than perfection and they definitely delivered.

5 star ambience 5 star service 4 star food/beverage. A solid coffee bar with beautiful ambience plus cool vibe but a bit overpriced. 5 star ambience: beautiful leafy quiet but urban setting in a rapidly developing/ gentrifying neighborhood. Parking is tight, with a pay lot next door. Most customers seem to arrive on foot, walking designer dogs hehe 5 star service: both at the counter and with follow up questions. Service was stellar. There a co working space connected with polite staffers as well 4 star food: food / beverage was good but slightly overpriced. $5 is my limit for plain coffee and a banana...cheap ole Joe is tight with a nickel

I was scheduled for jury duty and was looking for a local coffee shop to support and came across Wells. It's a five minute walk to the courthouse which was great. I had the horchata latte which I loved along with a banana bread to start my day. Indoor as well as outdoor seating for your liking. They open early and service was quick and friendly.

The place and atmosphere was nice. The servers were also pleasant. The coffee just wasn't very good to me. Depending on what you like it's worth a shot to see if you'd love it but for me it was very average. I am giving a 4 star because in my group of six I came with many did like their drinks so I want it to be fair. Not many coffee shops have a good chai so not a deal breaker for many.

This Tarpon River location of Wells Coffee is my favorite! Although it's a smaller location than the one in flagler, this one feels more cozy. It also has an open concept feel to it when you're inside. Lots of outdoor seating if needed as well. When it comes to the coffee, it's one of the best in Fort Lauderdale. To the point that other local shops carry Wells Coffee. The simplistic menu is a true coffee shop vibe. I did notice that while in line, the barista spoke to the person behind me, who sounded to be a regular, and got her order going. In other occasions that would bother me, to be honest (lol), but it's nice to see regulars come in and being treated extra special which I'd expect the same if I was in their shoes. I love having this Wells Coffee location in town, it's a nice little gem where my coworkers and I like to frequent.

One of my favorite coffee shops in FTL! They have another location in Flagler village Good place to study! It's pretty quiet, has indoor&outdoor seating and accessible outlets. The coffee tastes yumm!!! I wish they had more snack/food options :(

Low key, artisanal coffee spot in Tarpon River area of Fort Lauderdale. I was waiting for a friend to leave work so I thought I'd grab a coffee and wait. The weather is in the 50's today so a nice coffee is perfect! There are 3 parking spaces for this shop and paid metered spaces on the street. The shop has indoor and outdoor seating. I went with a drip coffee and sat outside in the cool weather. The coffee is brewed perfectly and the staff was super friendly. I will be back to try a pastry next time!

Came at 6:57am and staff didn't want to open yet, although they were standing around not doing anything. I was first to order and took 10 minutes for a coffee and staff was rude. Ambiance is nice, but ownership should speak to staff.

Cutest little coffee shop. Great coffee and the owners are very responsive and helpful. Looveee

great cute coffee shop. bakery items where delicious service was quick will go again

Really wanted to try this place. Looked it up To be sure they allowed dogs. Get there and there's a NO Pets - Only Service Animals sign outside. Immediately turned around. Please don't put that you allow dogs on Yelp and Google if there are exceptions. I just wanted to order and sit outside. So many other coffee spots have no issue with that at all. Bummed I couldn't try the coffee.

The coffee is delicious & the service is wonderful. I always feel welcomed here! And it's a great space to work since I work remotely and need to get out of the house every so often! This is easily my new favorite coffee shop in the city. Both locations are great! I highly recommend checking Wells out!

Wells is my favorite coffee shop on the planet hands down. And now they have second sister location for me to enjoy?! Say less! We live right in between both locations so it honestly depends which way we're driving that determines what location we go to. I like this location as there's more private seating to dine at that's away from the line of to-go customers. Their covered outdoor patio is super nice. They also have a super neat workspace. As expected, the staff are always super friendly and accommodating, especially when I forget to tell them I want almond milk! I wish the parking was a bit better but I'd walk a mile to get a cuppa from Wells if I had to. Same great coffee/pastries/service as their OG location. And always a 10/10 recommend from me! See ya next Sunday!

I feel like the coffee was a bit bitter for my liking, but the service and ambiance however was awesome! I would definitely recommend any coffee lover to try! I will definitely try the matcha next time!

The workers here are nice and give good recommendations. Despite this being mostly a coffee place, I got matcha. The first time I came here the matcha was really good. However there have been some instances where it's a tad chunky, so I suppose it's hit or miss. The pastries are super good in my opinion. My favorite is the coconut banana bread, even though I don't love coconut, I loved it.

I've been a regular at Wells for a few years now, so I was excited when they opened up another location even closer to my job. This location is more quiet and more conducive to working or spending quality time with a friend. They have solo tables, a large 8 seater table, outside seating/tables, and a couch with 2 chairs around it for the people who think they're in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. You're bound to run into someone you know here, but it's worth it.

Great place for a good cup of coffee, a pastry, and to study or work. Service is always quick and friendly.

When I die bury me here. We love all the baristas so much, they're so friendly and welcoming. The coffee is literally angelic to the tastebuds, we would be nothing without our morning coffee fix here. Whenever were in the area we grab our dog and hit Wells to either pop in for a cup or stay and work a little. They're open until later so it's great for working or meeting with people too. We love it so much, we buy the beans for our airbnbs in the area, so our guests can become fans as well

First time coming to this coffee shop. Coming in from out of town and really enjoyed visiting. The inside is open and welcoming. The drinks are tasty and fresh. Definitely would classify it as real coffee. The prices are also really friendly. They have a great outside area if you want to sit also inside area where a lot of people were working.

Wells Coffee has a new home in Tarpon River. Right across Tarpon River Brewing, you can find this cozy coffee shop with both outdoor and indoor seating. This is such an ideal place to get some work done while getting a cup of coffee (the horchata cold brew, duh.) Even though this spot is new, it's already become one of my most favorite spots to work from in Fort Lauderdale. The staff is so friendly and the tables, seats, and couch are great! For parking, they have 3 spots right in front, a parking lot right and street parking that uses the PayMobile app.

Manager or person who claims to be is very very rude. My autistic son eats there vegan donuts and whenever they don't have it instead of refunding the money they just put whatever else they want instead. When I arrived to let them know my son won't eat blueberries they told me I should have come back right away instead of resolving the issue and with attitude. We thought we caught her on a bad day but this has now happened several times.

I'm giving 3 out of 5 stars, and I'd like to explain. The staff are all friendly. I ordered an ice coffee and a ham & cheese croissant. Both were delicious. I arrived at about 8:30 AM and the music was calm and at a tolerable level. The playlist was really nice, throwback R&B. Several people were there working. I spent about an hour and a half working and then found myself extremely overstimulated because the music switched from being calm and chill to very loud and almost clubish. Overall, the service, food, and coffee were great. But I sadly had to leave. I don't think this is a great option for those who may be easily overwhelmed or overstimulated. I think my opinion may be different if I was there and was not working. I will give them a try at another time.

Really LOVE the iced mocha!! Best one I ever had, so good I had to tell the barista she did a great job! The Horchata cold brew is great as well.

Cool space for a coffee shop. Service was polite and prompt. First refill of in store drip coffee is free. They warmed up a ham and cheese croissant for me. It was tasty but cold in the middle. Grape approved.

Wells coffee is rich, flavorful, strong, and full bodied. They offer incredible pastries. I love the ambiance. The inside has a rustic/comfortable aesthetic. It has much more character than your average café. And did I mention, they have the most incredible pastries?

"Well", another coffee review :) Love Wells coffee, we discovered during the lockdown days and used to go for curbside pick up. We used to go to their original location and although I like it, I like this one a lot more! They have a nice outdoor seating area. I Love their horchata cold brew and their baked goods are yummy. I tried their zucchini bread last time we were there and it was soft, spongy and not too sweet. Staff is super friendly and the place is clean and has nice ambience and music. Only down side... They close too early.. 6pm.

Second location of theirs I've been to and another 5 stars! I love the vibes, the drinks are super tasty and they had some yummy looking snacks. The employees were also super cool and nice. Wells is a great go to coffee place in Fort Lauderdale!

Went here to get some work done when my internet was giving me issues at home. The coffee was amazing. Ambiance and service was also excellent. Its in the same location as a former coffee shop but this is much better. Will definitely be back. Great outdoor seating and comfortable indoor tables

Excellent customer service! The employees were kind and the atmosphere was great - the venue was open and welcoming! They have a vast amount of dairy-free and vegan drinks and food options, which is amazing. However, sugar-free syrups are not available. I ordered a hazelnut iced coffee with macadamia milk, and a slice of their banana walnut bread. Unfortunately, their coffee wasn't as sweet as I'd hoped, even with the added hazelnut syrup. The warmed-up banana bread, however, was superb!
