We walked one mile to get here and the coffee was well worth it! The best iced vanilla latte I've ever had by far! Very kind and helpful workers also.

Finally good coffee in south Florida! This place has traditional Italian coffee and amazing pastries. You gotta try the apricot croissant. Service is great too. Do not hesitate to visit.

La Bottega cafe is an amazing place where you can experience the authentic Italian food and atmosphere. I was impressed about the quality of the food and the service provided by Salvatore. It’s a perfect place to enjoy breakfast! They have a great selection of homemade pastries that you can enjoy sipping a cappuccino! They also offer a delicious lunch! I really loved the lasagna and the eggplant parmigiana! I strongly recommend to visit “ La Bottega Café “ in Fort Lauderdale!

Stumbled upon this place on our drive up the coast. It’s a HIDDEN Gem! Fresh bread, authentic flavors, and best espresso I’ve had since Italy.

This place is awesome! I stopped by on a Saturday morning during a recent weekend visit to Fort Lauderdale. It was one of the only coffee places open at 8 am, which is the initial reason I decided to try it out. The owner is a friendly Italian guy, who I chatted with throughout the 30 minutes I was there. I got two iced cappuccinos, both of which were amazing, and a croissant, which was also excellent. The place has an awesome atmosphere - you really feel like you are in an authentic Italian cafe. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for a great coffee shop/breakfast spot!

What a pleasant cafe! We found this coffee shop/restaurant to be clean, bright, and staffed with friendly professional employees. The menu is diverse and offers many many delicious options. Specialty items abound. Our food came out rapidly and was top notch regarding taste, quantity, and quality! We WILL be back! ❤️❤️❤️

What a gem! Found this by complete accident and enjoyed an absolutely amazing mortadella sandwich and simply DIVINE vanilla meringue cake! The cappuccino was delicious and the service was fast and friendly!! Can’t wait to come back!

Stopped in this corner cafe after breakfast for an iced cappuccino. One of the customers (seemed to be a regular) told us a story and thanked us for listening by buying our coffees for us. The owner was extremely friendly and in typical Italian fashion, made sure he couldn’t get us anything else 😂. Hidden gem.

The prosciutto panini was off the charts amazing. Great crunch with the fresh bread, generous portion of hand sliced prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and tomato. The patrons speak Italian to the owners and each other. This is the local Italian breakfast/lunch spot where people go everyday as part of their routine. I wish I would’ve gone sooner. A new gem on Bayview.

BEST CAPPUCCCINO IN FORT LAUDERDALE! Im Italian and I love cappuccino. I found this little bar close to my hotel in Coral Ridge and after the first time I went back every day to have breakfast. 100% recommended!

This might be the best cappuccino in Fort Lauderdale! Very friendly service from the owner and delicious salads and Italian desserts. Great place to stop on the way to or from the beach. Highly recommend.

Fantastic ambiance, very classic feel. Extremely clean and the owner (I think he’s the owner lol) was the person who took care of me. He opened the door for me and everything. Ordered a Latte , delicious. It was smooth , perfect ratio of froth and espresso. Presentation was pleasing and over all I felt like I stepped into a upscale cafe in New York where the Rat Pack gets their coffee after a show. Definitely glad I came. Will be back !

This place is amazing! I highly recommend getting an iced latte, it is the best in Fort Lauderdale. The meringue cake is divine and everything on the menu is fresh! This is one of my favorite places to grab a quick bite. Sal always takes care of my business partner and I on our much needed mid day breaks.

Amazing place! You won’t be disappointed. The attention to detail is second to none. So glad I found this place.

Went here with my mother for Mother’s Day. We got the Lasagna and a panini prosciutto and mozzarella and the food was amazing. The owner is such a gentleman. He was so welcoming. He let us try the meringue cake and it was the best cake I have ever tried. My mother and I were astonished at how good the cake was. I will definitely be back. Please try this place you will be in shock at how good the food amd cake is.

Absolutely love this place! The food is sooo good! The apricot croissant is to die for. One of the most delicious cappuccino I ever had. Everything is fresh, tasty and homemade. The owner is so nice and friendly. I always feel like I came home to my friend.

Sal and staff have won my heart with their consistently perfect lattes and delicious food! I was happy to stay at a place close to this adorable cafe, so I walked here every day for my lattes. One day, I finally stayed to have lunch— and I was not disappointed with Sal’s recommendation to have the penne arrabbiata dish. So flavorful! That sauce was perfecto! I’ll be having that again. Or the lasagna, because that looks tasty, too. They have lots of good looking sandwiches, as well as a pizza at the ready to heat up slices for a hungry passerby. I saw they made fresh-squeezed juices, too. I’ll be having a grapefruit juice before I leave this trip. This morning, I was treated to a fresh baked apricot croissant. Sweet and flaky and warm. This is a sure-to-be favorite spot for you, too. Friendly, cozy, pleasant Italian music overhead…. Maybe I’ll see you here, because I’ll be back for certain.

I absolutely love this awesome little cafe with the best coffee in the world! I stumbled across it leaving my massage therapy I go to every week on Wednesdays and now I never miss stopping in and getting a coffee every week and the most amazing avocado toast with a hard boiled egg! Awesome food! Awesome service and very cute and clean little cafe Atmosphere!!

We found this place by chance, and what a find! House hunting and hungry, we happened to drive by and found parking space right in front. Looks like a deli but you get a really good feel as soon as you step in. The owner and host, Salvatore, has everything under control and was extremely accommodating and gracious, giving us recommendations for our lunch. We ordered the prosciutto panini with added arugula, the chicken panini and one arancini. Everything we had was excellent! Can’t wait to try the lasagna, highly recommended by a regular customer and by Salvatore! This very special place feels and tastes genuine.

Such a cute local and authentic place. The almond croissant was amazing and the latte was perfect

This place is amazing ! I always get my cappuccino right (especially when I get an extra shot) Delicious Croissants and Avocado toast. Great Service 🌻

So happy that this place opened up as I live walking distance from it. I’m a regular customer as I love their cappuccino, one the the best I’ve ever had. The owner is very kind and friendly and treats you like family. Definitely try it out if you’re in the area!

Great little cafe! Amazing atmosphere, very cozy, a little on a smaller size, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. I had a croissant, which was freshly baked and tasted delicious, and a cappuccino, which was very flavorful. Thank you for everything! We will be back!

Brilliant original Italian Food! Housemade. We love it. The Cafe is also great, best in Town! And Great owner... we will Comeback

I just discovered this little cafe. This is the best cafe in Florida!! Everyone who appreciates delicious food and the best coffee - this is your place!!! Cappuccino - feeling like you're in Italy. The croissant is amazing!

Wonderful Italian coffee shop with iced and hot specialty drinks. Eggs and croissants are especially well done with an Italian flavor. Salvatore, the owner, is a delight. Highly recommend.

Came across this cafe and it exceeded all my expectations. Sal the owner and all of the staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. It has a nice local feel, I will recommend 200%! Definitely coming back!

WOW! So this little Italian restaurant is so amazing! The food is delicious fresh. The owner who is from Italy with his Italian accent just knows how to be accommodating and hospitable. Very inviting! Warm! Calm atmosphere with a nice authentic flare. The ingredients used are the best choices from the owners native country and you can taste it, he takes pride in his cafe. I just felt genuinely so well taken care.. thank you!

Incredible iced cappuccino, the best one I have ever have!! The chicken panini was just as great. Definitely recommend this place. Staff was also great, very friendly and welcoming!

By far the most authentic Italian Cafe you can find in Fort Lauderdale. Salvatore is the man!! I had a 3hour layover and worked from here will waiting for a flight. He took care of me and was super fun to chat to! Keep up the great work. Mile grazie!!

I cannot pass by La Bottega caffe without stopping for the most delicious cappuccino. Salvatore who is the owner makes the best coffee & is always there to greet & serve his clients with a smile. Also try out his special fresh panini or salad prepared daily. Oh and his meringue key lime pie is to die for. It’s the closest palate to home.

La Bottega is an absolute gem serving some of the most authentic Italian specialties I’ve ever had! Everything on the menu is freshly prepared and delicious - from the croissants to eggplant parmesan to the cappuccinos - amazing food and beverages! Sal is also extremely welcoming and is such a pleasure to interact with, offering wonderful service each and every time! Highly recommend !!!

An authentic Italian cafe. From the food to expresso, excellent 👌🏻But my favorite thing is the people and atmosphere, a true place where neighbors gather to talk.

Small coffee shop run by a very humble Italian guy. He has got nice stories to say if you meet him. Also offered me a nice Italian almond cookie to go with my cappuccino. His cappuccino is sourced from Italy so as Italian as this place can get.

Great place!! Breads and desserts are outstanding! Warm friendly atmosphere. Stop in for a bite!!

Great food and desserts ! Whatever you try here is amazing ! Highly recommended. We’re regulars now!

Cutest cafe and the most delicious iced latte. Definitely coming back to try all the food because it looked amazing.

This place has AMAZING coffee and delicious desserts. The owner is very attentive to detail and the service is excellent. Looking forward to going back for lunch!

Best place to have coffee, and the best vanilla merengue cake. The owner Salvatore is very nice , and the place that opened 3 months ago, is a must if you are around Oakland park .
