Coffee Spots

St. Bart’s Coffee Company
845 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd

With tasty breakfast, lunch, coffee, and smoothie options and a pristine view of Ft Lauderdale Beach’s turquoise waters, it’s hard not to be compelled to revel in the moment and blow all your money at this relaxing ocean-side eatery.  Away from the chaotic main stretch of beach shops and restaurants, St. Bart’s comfy atmosphere, cool tunes, and friendly service will easily make you feel like you’re on vacation.  $12 can’t be spent any better way than on a hearty breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, bagel, chopped salad with cheese, and an iced soy latte.

Expresso Drive-thru Coffee
1900 S Andrews Ave

Do you hate resorting to Starbucks or DD but need something fast and can’t spare a minute to get out of your car?  Then the reader-recommended sweet little shack known as Expresso is your answer.  Their wide variety of coffees and genuine service is perfect for when you’re shot for time.  They even have a chalkboard menu with changing food choices such as Quiche, tuna salad, and cold pastas.  Don’t be surprised if you come up short and are told you can owe them later : )

Broken-in leather chairs, a nice selection of national newspapers, and enticing blends of the day- it comes as no surprise that Brew was deservedly voted New Times’ best coffee shop of 2010.  Enjoy some baked goods, free Wi-Fi, and super friendly service, among all the other amenities you’d expect to find in your comfy neighborhood coffee shop.  Make sure you get your coffee card stamped and the 10th coffee is on them!  When the sun goes down, come back and have yourself a beer or glass of wine here- they have microbrews!  Two locations:  Himmarshee Street and Victoria Park.
