    Came here by recommendation while on vacation. Wonderful place! Great food options, happy and peaceful owners, and an uplifting atmosphere. The carrot cake was incredible. They have a cool outside area to sit and enjoy the afternoon. Definitely recommend.

    I had a feeling I was going to love this place and I was definitely right! Parking is super easy. They have two outdoor tables in the front but order and go to the backyard. It’s so relaxing! Huge bonus, it’s pet friendly and they wanted me to let my dog off leash so she could roam around. As a dog lover that sold me! Now on to the stuff you probably want to hear about… the food and drinks. My mango colada was incredible and a treat! I got the vegan banana bread with a vegan chocolate swirl and it was delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try more things. Great service, great attitudes, and great food! Definitely recommend.

    We hired shoshi cafe to cater our sunset open house and wow I could not have asked for more. Tony and Chelsea are an incredible power couple that truly went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. If I could give them a 10 star review I would. Here are some of the pictures of our event where you really see them in action. His staff was also very attentive and professional making sure all our guests were satisfied by the end of the night.

    I had such high hopes when I stumbled upon Gratefuel Cafe due to its promising reviews, but unfortunately, my visit turned out to be quite a disappointment. It appeared that the cafe was severely understaffed, with only one or two people juggling multiple roles – taking orders, preparing coffee, and handling food orders for everyone present. The warning signs were evident when I overheard the customer ahead of me expressing frustration at waiting for what seemed like an eternity, claiming his order had already taken 45 minutes and counting. Opting for patience, I ordered an iced latte and a breakfast burrito without any special requests. However, I was promptly informed that my order would take longer than usual because they had several food orders ahead of mine. This was acceptable, or so I thought. When asked about my milk preference, I requested skim milk, only to be met with a puzzled look as the staff seemed unfamiliar with the term. After some clarification, I reluctantly settled for whole milk. To sum it up succinctly, my experience at Gratefuel Cafe was marred by understaffing, excruciatingly slow Wi-Fi, mediocre food quality, and an inexplicable wait time for a rather uninspiring scrambled egg breakfast burrito that arrived almost cold. Even the iced vanilla latte I ordered left much to be desired. Adding to my frustration, I couldn't fathom why parking at this establishment was not only inconvenient but also paid. All in all, it was a regrettable experience that left me feeling like I had wasted a lot of time and money.

    I’ve driven by this place a million times and finally stopped in for breakfast. It was perfect! Great ambiance, healthy choices, good service, and fantastic coffee. I had a vegetarian breakfast wrap that I’m still thinking about. They also had vegan options. Smoothie was great as well. Will be back!

    I recently heard about Gratefuel Cafe while attending a local full moon yoga event. The owner was part of the class and had donated some vegan/gluten-free desserts to be raffled off. This morning, my friends and I worked up quite an appetite surfing and were looking for a place to go that would accommodate everyone's preferences. I am vegan, and while my friends are willing to explore, they are not. We found Gratefuel by searching "vegan breakfast near me" and realized we were only half a mile away, so we went in. We were instantly greeted by a bright and colorful space full of positive vibes and energy and a friendly and cheerful staff. There was an amazing assortment of juices and smoothies and plenty of breakfast and lunch options as well. One of the owners, Andréa, helped answer my questions and guided me to a mushroom toast with smoked tempeh and caramelized onions and offered to swap out the pesto for a chipotle cashew cream to keep the dish vegan. It was so good! My friends ordered a beautiful salmon tartare over spinach and a Beyond chimichurri breakfast sandwich. We also tried some juice, smoothie, and a wellness shot. One of the orders was taking a bit long, so Andréa came over to apologize and brought us salted chocolate truffle energy balls as an apology. It was unnecessary but very appreciated, and I'm telling you, it was so good, I almost cried! Then the other owner, her brother, Santiago, came over and sat with us and chatted for a while before we finished with a chocolate espresso cheesecake which was basically like if cheesecake and tiramisu had a baby...so good! We are so grateful for the amazing meal and their gracious hospitality! I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back!

    My favorite place right now! First of all, they have options for everyone, including vegan and gluten free food. Everything tastes amazing We asked for two sandwiches, one was the “Chicken Champion” and the other one “Mighty Shroom”. Both were excellent but the Mighty Shroom was a little spicy for me. Then we asked for a salad that was absolutely amazing!! You have to try it Then I drink an amazing coffee Atmosphere: Really great for work, and they have an outdoor place also! Staff really friendly!

    We really enjoyed our lunch at this awesome spot. Santiago (hope I remembered it correctly) the Owner personally delivered our food and engaged us in a delightful conversation. We left with smiles on our faces and satisfied stomachs.

    I always am pleased to find a cafe that is fresh and new. Shoshi offers a variety including smoothies, juices, sandwiches and breakfast items. You can tell this restaurant is new because its polished concrete floors gleam. The theme appears to be fresh ingredients. I ordered the Hamptons juice which included cucumber, lemon and kale, it was delightfully refreshing. My Shoshi sandwich had a pleasant combination of deli meat in a tasty sauce. Staff were super friendly and was ready to return to try the “Pompano.” Nicely done, worth a visit.

    Many healthy options, plenty of vegan dishes available, but also plenty of other dishes for people who don't want vegan. Friendly people and a pleasant atmosphere. We enjoyed it. Indoor and outdoor seating is available and the outdoor area especially is kid friendly.

    Decided to try this place because I saw the reviews and the fact that it was dog friendly! Not disappointed! Food was excellent and the owners were so friendly and personable! Love that you can bring your dog and sit inside or outside. If you're vegan they have a lot for you to choose from. If you answer a trivia question correctly you might just get a little treat!

    Great atmosphere. The americano coffee was outstanding. The most beautifully presented avocado toast I have ever had! And the flavor matched. Definitely will come back when in town.

    Beautiful, super clean store, with fresh and healthy juices, and so much more. Always happy to support a local small business, and a great addition to the neighborhood to have such a nice place around, the owner is super nice and takes great care of his customers. Highly recommend

    Great place for breakfast (they serve breakfast all day!) and lunch. Menu has smoothie bowls, sandwiches, avocado toast, oatmeal and more. Tons of vegan options including dessert and chocolates. I got the salted cocoa and peanut butter oats, they’re topped with banana slices and peanuts which give the oats a nice punch of texture. Their coffee was awesome too.

    Cute spot with great ingredients for a small bite or juice / smoothie. It has a large clean space inside and a outside patio to dine in. I didn’t give it five stars because each time I order ahead I still have to wait.

  • 5/5 Javier C. 8 months ago on Google
    I walked in and they acknowledged my dog (sure sign of goodness) I’m not vegetarian and I had the breakfast burrito - I would convert for this burrito. Great place good vibes will def be back.

  • 5/5 Diana F. 6 months ago on Google
    Great food, coffee and cozy atmosphere. I ordered the breakfast yogurt parfait and it was very filling and the toppings were great. Met one of the owners (Santiago) and he was very friendly and welcoming! We plan on visiting again the next time we are in town to try their lunch bowls. Great relaxing cafe to stop by and have a casual morning.

    What. A. Gem! This place has amazing service, really good food ( nutritional) Can’t say enough good things about their açai bowls. If you’re a fan of coffee, you have to try their coconut espresso! I definitely recommend this place if you’re in ft lauderdale!

  • 5/5 Christian D. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Christine K. 8 months ago on Google
    Stopped in at this cafe this afternoon with 2 friends I used to work with years ago. We were looking for a spot with a great vibe where we could get lunch and catch up. I saw their name on Google Maps, and I KNEW this was the place. LOVED the name right away, and that was before we had such fantastic food and better service. This is the authentic kind of small business where the owners come over and ask you how things are going, shake hands and introduce themselves. We all want these places to survive, right? So next time you are thinking at stopping at a big corporate coffee place, try the Gratefuel Cafe---better coffee, cooler vibe, and you will be supporting a deserving small business. You will be grateful you did.

    A very cosy and health-conscious cafe to visit. It has a balance of healthy options, as well as merchandise and nutritious drinks to try. Books are available to read and an outdoor area to relax in (if it’s not too warm!). Santiago the owner was very accommodating and friendly to us, which made the visit memorable. I definitely recommend visiting this place!

  • 5/5 Bessie B. 9 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ramphys P. 10 months ago on Google
    Best cafe I’ve been to! The coffee was really good! My friend had an Acai bowl and she loved it. The owner came to us and said hi and made us feel welcome. The staff is super nice. I 100% will be coming here more often!

  • 5/5 Jacqueline P. 10 months ago on Google
    Such an amazing Cafe. The customer service was amazing. Super friendly and helped with any questions. The latte was perfect. You can tell that the employees who work here take pride in what they are doing based on their amazing presentation. They do their best to satisfy their customers. I will definitely be back!!!

  • 5/5 Richard B. 10 months ago on Google
    Really awesome little cafe with excellent food & drinks. Tons of healthy & delicious options. Peruvian coffee is high quality and perfectly brewed, as is their cold brew. Breakfast burrito (served all day) might be the best in town.

  • 5/5 Marina B. 2 years ago on Google
    The place was very comfortable, and felt like home. The food was delicious and the service was great. You should definitely come visit!

  • 5/5 John Michael G. 3 years ago on Google
    What a great way to start or end your day. Or stop in for a bite for lunch. This place is Clean and Welcoming. Tony the owner is a very nice well liked guy. Food is made fresh in house every day. You have to check the next IT spot!!!

  • 5/5 Ashish A. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a cool spot if you’re into healthy cleaner eating.. Got the chocolate peanut butter smoothie. Was ok.. nothing to write home about.. I liked that the peanut butter is made in-house.. with just peanuts. If you care about avoiding nasty seed oils and chemicals, that’s a good shout Coffee was tasty here (got the iced coffee) Tons of snacks.. homemade goodies like the chocolate brownie bites (wow!!) Plenty of space to lounge and hang out.. chill music playing.. good service.. Want to come back for the oat pancakes.. huge differentiator if you’re after flourless pancakes and want something healthier!

    The best Burek and Cevapi you can find! Excellent service!

    Shoshi Café & Food Bar is the latest of restaurant/cafes along East Commercial. From being just opened it's still a project underway, still in the making, but a really good one with lots of promise to it. It provides spacious comfortable distance seating with a really cozy understatedly pleasant décor. And beyond being attractive it is spotlessly clean; the floor even glistens with a high polish. Shoshi has a good menu with more choices than those of the simple café. It has a great selection of coffees, teas, juices, and smoothies such as the deliciously thick Main Beach, which I had, consisting of mango, strawberry, banana, and lemon. Then there are a good number of wraps, including a Veggie, a series of bowls allowing you to make choices of bases, Vegetables, and Proteins. Unfortunately no liquor license yet, so no beer or wine. They also offer for sale varying unique coffees, crackers, jarred peppers, bottles of vinegar, and oils. Literally a whole series of special treats. I purchase a truffle oil which I later used to make some truffle fries and also to add a slight enhancement to a foie gras. And, it proved to be one of the better truffle oils I've used. Overall Shoshi is a really great place and its owner, Tony, couldn't be more helpful, friendly, attentive, kind or polite. His personality indeed adds a lot to the pleasure of being at Shoshi Café & Food Bar, a place that may soon become a Five Star.

    The atmosphere is chic, inviting, and fresh! The Eastbound Montauk fresh squeezed juice was amazing with the slight kick of jalapeño. The turkey bomb sandwich was outstanding! I will be back!

  • 5/5 Carlos K. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing menu for a quick bite! The coffee selection is great as well whatever you’re preferences hot or cold. Highly recommend “The Shoshi” sandwich.

  • 1/5 Keren B. 3 years ago on Google
    I’m sorry to leave a bad review but I picked at the salad and then I didn’t want anymore. The chicken was so tough and dry and the avocado was all brown. This was really not a nice salad at all and I feel like I wasted money

  • 5/5 B L. 1 year ago on Google
    The little one and I stopped here today for a late lunch!! It’s such a cute, chill spot and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I got the avocado toast with tofu and coconut espresso and she got the dragon bowl. All was super delicious! They have a variety of smoothies, bowls, drinks and breakfast options. They have a wall where you can leave messages.
