    Plantation, FL. They have the best cappuccinos and homemade food like mama makes. Great baristas and staff. The person who looked like maybe Rihanna’s cousin answered my questions about the menu and was super personable. Also the person with red hair who delivered my vegan chocolate muffin said they love it and their favorite is the carrot cake. Happy people meeting up or doing remote work. Beatles and guitar-accompanied vocals for background music. Fresh, mouthwatering sandwich boards on display. I wish I lived here and could come here every week!

    Cute spot in an unassuming strip mall. Easy to get to and ample parking. Service was slow and curt. I was hoping for a warm, friendly vibe given the cute coffee shop atmosphere but the staff did not deliver. Prices for specialty drinks were on par with expectations but pastries were pricey (avg $6 for standard, small offerings such as croissants and cookies). I was shocked that there was no drip coffee so my companion had to settle for an Americano.

    Nice hipster coffee shop. Loved the vibe. Service was super nice. Coffee was great. I got the oat latte (oatly) with Rosemary caramel and it was very tasty. Will definitely go back.

    Stumbled upon this awesome coffee shop in Plantation. Clearly, I was missing out and the last to know. The definition of what a coffee shop should be. Cozy, inviting, hip, and the coffee was perfect. Live music at 10 am on a Saturday was a pleasant surprise, as were several different seating options that could offer you a quick coffee or a more leisurely sit and chat. Flat white was amazing. Avocado toast equally delicious. Fun spot, love the vibe. Will absolutely be back.

    I’ve been to Ella Cafe a few times and have always had a good experience. Regardless of the time (early morning/lunch time), I’m always in and out in less than 10 minutes. The pastries are great! Very tasty and fresh. Today, I got a blueberry muffin for myself and a croissant for my dad. My dad is a notoriously tough critic and loved the croissant. The café has fall flavors available for the coffee, so I decided to switch it up and also get an amaretto-flavored café con leche (with oat milk). Total for everything was $17, slightly pricey for me but reasonable considering the size and quality of the pastries. The staff are always very kind and friendly. I’ve never dined in but would be willing to since the place is pretty spacious and has a nice ambience.

    It was good but somehow overpriced.. The atmosphere is kids friendly and the service was great. Their coffee is also good.

    The ambiance was very nice. It is dark inside and very trendy. No "physical" menu but they had exactly what I wanted. I made a warm milk tea using earl grey tea , honey , vanilla and caramel. I also got a banana bread with Nutella and 2 breakfast sandwiches which included pesto, egg, bacon and cheese. The sandwiches were kinda pricey but that's expected at a coffee shop. Very chill spot and cute employees!

    Ella’s is an oasis in Broward County. Only a few blocks from the Westfield Mall, on Broward Boulevard, it is located in a small shopping center adjacent to Toi Spa. Excellent coffee with a plethora of flavors to add. Today we enjoyed tiramisu and coconut chocolate iced coffees. Fresh bakery items. All Covid protocols in place—I look forward to the return of frosted glasses, rather than plastic, and their full lunch menu of flatbreads, salads, and sandwiches. This cafe reminds me of the cozy coffee shops in New England with their book areas, hip music, and super upbeat servers. Check it out.

    Gf and I woke up late Sunday and she mentioned that she wanted to try this places after reading about it. Came over to have some brunch. Food was amazing! I had the French Brie sandwich which tasted like a charcuterie board all packed between French bread! On the side I had a very delicious lemon tart. As for the coffee, I ordered the caffe latte with macadamia milk and a shot of “hazelnut-ella”, which is their version of Nutella. Very sweet but still good. The place was clean and it had a very cool vibe to it. The music and scenery was fantastic and my favorite spot was the one in the back with the sofas and the fireplace. I both my gf and I agreed that for the prices and the great service, we will definitely like to come back and enjoy some coffees.

    Cool vibe and music in this rustic themed cafe. Busy but staff were friendly, fast and provide table service. The fresh sandwiches and toast options were amazing. I had the delicious avocado toast and a sticky banana loaf. Cortado was excellent! Seating options are many. From outside tables, to inside to dark and cozy in the back. Loved it.

    I was so excited to come here, we ordered a flat white and a sticky banana cold brew along with 2 muffins... unfortunately, they didn't have any cold brew or their sticky banana after I had already ordered it, but their French toast latte was a great substitute, and the barista did great. I'm giving it what I gave because there were literally, at one point, 6 employees standing around and chatting amongst themselves while our 2 muffins ended up getting heated for 15+ minutes instead of being served even after a worker had asked if the orders were filled... :(

    The food and drinks at Ella Cafe we're delicious! I ordered the Chai Latte with Oat milk and my husband ordered an espresso. We also grabbed a croissant and cupcake and even though we were not fully blown away with the flavor, the atmosphere and drinks really made the experience great! Highly recommend anyone in the area to come check this place out either for a hang out or for a fun place to work remotely.

    Fantastic food and brunch place. Tiny and cozy place, European style. The sandwich with Brie cheese, bacon, tomato and pesto was delicious! I customized it lol. The girls at the front... very polite and hard working.

    This cafe is super cute. The pastry goods were moist and flavorful. It was my first time here and they made you feel at home and also were very patient as I was ordering for my family that was visiting. The blueberry zucchini muffin is gluten free and was one of the best muffins I’ve tasted. Most gluten free muffins can be tiny and dry but not this one!

    This place is super cute! The decor is wonderful and cozy. They even had a live musician playing for a while. After the musician left, they put on a really catchy playlist. The food was pricey, but not bad. It is definitely on the smaller side. When I came in for lunch, there were no seats inside or outside. I waited for a table to open up for my friend and I. The waitress was very friendly and receptive to my questions about the menu. They had a visual menu which was alluring. However, I needed a menu with the listed ingredients because I have food allergies. They said they didn’t have one when I asked, but I found one online. Overall, It’s a nice spot to study or catch lunch with a great music selection. You may have to wait for a table. I would recommend looking up the menu online to make ordering easier.

    The food and coffee were both excellent! I had an iced cortadito and a breakfast sandwich. But they really should consider additional staffing and another cash register. This place is far too busy for one register and the bare-minimum staffing that they seem to consistently have. Be prepared to wait an extensive amount of time if you come here.

    This is a nice and cozy cafe. The beverages always taste great and the baristas are cordial. I have always had a great experience here.

    After hearing many great reviews I was finally able to try this cafe and it lived up to the hype and then some. The double espresso tasted great, you can tell they source great beans and mastered their brewing process. I also enjoyed a few pastries which tasted much better than most coffee shops I’ve been to. The ambiance was very nice and they have plenty of room to sit and get some work done. What really made the experience unmatched was the staff’s service and attention to detail. They went above and beyond my expectations to make my visit a 5 star experience. I definitely recommend visiting Ella Cafe, I know I will be back soon.

    Amazing vibe, great decor and service!!! Perfect for a quick bite or snack, it gets busy especially on weekends but the line moves fast! It’s a smaller place so with the crowds it can get tight but never felt claustrophobic or overwhelming . Food is always fresh and delicious bake goods :) I keep hoping they’ll expand larger because they are SO GOOD! thank you for always giving an amazing experience!

    I wanna start with the positives and say the food was flavorful, the pesto sandwich I ordered was delectable, the bread was toasted well enough, and it was a pretty sizable meal. The service was decent, and the staff was polite and patient. However, the overall cafe felt overstimulating, with the loud music and darker atmosphere. I enjoy a dark restaurant but I wished the cafe was a little lighter. The real issue with Ella Cafe was their visual menu. The visual menu was one of those ideas that sound good on paper but in practice it falls apart. I think it would’ve saved the time spent ordering and the confusion I felt had they labeled their items so that you know what you’re getting. The food on charcuterie board was another idea that was good one, but again was unnecessary. But I think the overall experience could’ve been better had they not overpriced their meals, but more importantly labeled the menu and tone down the overwhelming environment. But that’s just my experience.

    Food: A+ Location: A Service: A Atmosphere: A Mocha Cold Brew slams. Also had the French Sandwich with Brie… very good. This would be my local spot if I lived here.

  • 4/5 Marcio M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice location. Unfortunately we got there on a Saturday afternoon and they ran out of pastries. It’s tough to go to a café that doesn’t have any pastries 😞. Chai latte was delicious… we did manage to get a banana bread so that was very nice. The place has a lot of potential… we will come back soon and try it again

    I have been here a few times and keep coming back. The experience here is wonderful. The ambiance is adorable and cozy (always way too cold though, bring a sweater) the coffee is delicious. Today I tried the cold brew and it was really quite good! Last time i had a cappuccino with soy milk and the foam was done so well! The pastries are always delicious and different. Last time i had a pumpkin muffin. This time GF coffee cake and banana bread. Time before those little sandwiches. Everything is great. They have a hiring sign, so even though they may be short staffed, they are on top of it, and friendly and present! I was really impressed 👍

    I came here on a Saturday morning so it was very busy. They have good coffee and pastries. Even though it was busy I was able to find a seat with no problem.

    Went on my lunch break from work with a new friend and tried this amazing French toast latte. Absolutely Loveeeee the design of the their logo. simplicity goes far for me Their French toast latte was soooo good! Coffee rate: 8/10 Aside from the coffee I would recommend one of their sandwiches. To be quite honest, I was a little disappointed with two things though. 1.Although their coffee and food was delicious, I have say there wasn't many options for food, just what they had presented on the front. Atleast that is was the female worker told me. 2. when I asked the worker in the front where the menu was she just said it's what's in front of you, it was quite difficult to choose something to eat because of the fact that I didn't know much about the ingredients. I asked her about the ingredients of some of the sandwiches that were presented and she described them without a problem but the thing is that when I decided to search their menu on yelp I saw that they had a lot more options than what was presented and was a little bit bummed out that I wasn't told or offered those other options. I definitely would've tried other things but I've seen. She wasn't extremely helpful just kind of giving me the bare minimum of help, so if there is one thing that I would've changed about my whole experience would probably be someone a little bit more helpful. I give them a 4 star because the food was good. What I would maybe recommend, a menu with ingredients and the options.

    The American Sandwich was delicious. The morning cereal latte is a good enough.

  • 2/5 Sofia C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cute cafe with great food and coffee but their service could have been way better. I had no clue they were closed so my friend and I went to take a photo near their cute bookshelves. The associate with long, wavy hair made a sarcastic comment to us regarding the cafe being closed. She could have expressed herself in a much nicer way.

    Ella is such a lovely gem! I’ve recently starting coming here to work and the vibes are immaculate. The employees are always so kind and genuinely want to have conversations with you. The selections for food and coffee are great and everything I’ve tried is delicious! I love how dim they keep the lighting and there’s tons of outlets if you like to work in coffee shops. Also, the music is always great just incase you forget your headphones. I’m moving soon and will definitely miss coming to this place 🧡
