Fantastic 1950s diner with great prices and friendly service 5 star food: my turkey and spinach egg white omelette was very very good with some sort of secret spice. Everything on the menu seems very reasonably priced 5 star service: our server was very friendly and funny too...when I put in the egg white omelette order she said: from the tank top and that omelette you 2 just came from the gym? lol why yes we did 4 star ambience: it's a cool 1950s diner that really feels like it dates from that era, as does the strip mall location. Both are clean, updated and neatly kept ...there's even an electric car charging station in the parking lot read more

American & Spanish Coffee shop with two full dining sections, visually more similar to a full restaurant than a cafe offering a massive menu and close shortly at 3pm. They, they had a shiny espresso machine and I needed my second fix of the day especially after my recent post lunch pizza slice snack. The server was polite and prepared me a hot single shot cuban espresso at the higher end $2.99. It was decent and did its job. read more

Superrrr cute Spanish breakfast spot. Yes American coffee pero hellooooo delicioso comida! I got the large cafe con leche, he got the cortadito. Both made perfectly. I loved the Spanish Sandwich with the croquetas in the middle!! The huevo rancheros were okay, you're better off with something else on the menu which there are a lot of options. The waitstaff was kind, the food came out fast and it was a good busy with people coming in eating and leaving, but not terribly busy where there is a long line. Manager came by to make sure everything was good. Good spot, we'll be back! read more

American Coffee Shop - Meat Lovers Omelet - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland Park, Florida

It is rare to find places that serve breakfast all day. After seeing American Coffee Shop a number of times, but not knowing what to expect, we went directly to YELP for the scoop! The location itself is to the point, just read the sign above the restaurant. You can dine outside or inside. Inside there is a row of tables across from the counter, seats at the counter, and around from the first row of tables, is another room with more tables. This means ample seating for a breakfast or lunch crowd. No frills here, just function. Regarding service, we received a pleasant greeting from the woman who took out order. The entire staff is nothing but friendly faces, which is awesome! We decided to try Cuban coffee for the first time. The coffee did not come in a tiny cup, as some places serve it. But it was smaller than the average coffee cup. A server brought it to our table, as we waited. We aren't crazy about coffee as millions are, but simply curious. Curious to see if it would make us take off like a rocket. Nah. It was tasty though, very tasty! Our order arrived in a timely manner, and we took it to go. Breakfast and lunch were on the menu. Decided to see if American Coffee Shop was up to snuff when it came to breakfast, and it definitely passed! One thing we loved was that it served grits in the same container with the omelet instead of inside a small Styrofoam container, which is usually for sides, e.g. potato salad, black beans. The Pan con Lechon was marvelous! We were ecstatic when we happened to find the second half of the sandwich in the container the next day. Totally forgot about it after eating the breakfast and half the sandwich. American Coffee Shop needs to be your new go to place for all day breakfast! And it will also make your day for lunch or dinner. Just make sure you are there before 3PM because that is closing time! read more

Great food, staff is welcoming and friendly. Everything is clean and the owner/ manager walks around checking to see that guests are happy. A great local diner!!! read more

This is a great little spot to drop in. Was in the area and wanted breakfast so we found this little gem. The service was presented with a smile and our drinks were never empty. The food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. What else could you ask for? I would have to put this place on one of my favorites. read more

Went for breakfast . It's very clean and neat and not very big. There pancakes were excellent and my 4 friends all enjoyed their eggs and bacon breakfasts. Good place to stop by and inexpensive! read more

This was just what I needed ti wrap up my trip to Toronto. The comforts of home. The entire time I tried variations of foods from other cultures and although I enjoyed it, I had a taste for American breakfast before U got on the plane and this place did not disappoint. It was a hard decision but I decided on a simple breakfast and it was delicious. Service was fast and friendly to be able to catch my flight and I was full. No frills kind of place to have some good simple breakfast or something a little bit fancy. There are plenty of options for everyone to get what they like. read more

Me and my girlfriend always enjoy a tasty meal at American coffee shop. Whether it's the delicious cafe con leche, or the yummy pan con lechon, this place never fails us. Breakfast or lunch we enjoy this small Spanish diner. The wait staff is always polite, and makes us feel at home. The place isn't fancy, and very casual. Great place to come on a Saturday morning or afternoon to get some good coffee and food that's fresh and hits the table quick. read more

Love coming to this place! Whether it's a solo breakfast by myself or a grab and go lunch that I'm picking up to eat at home with my family, I always know that this place will have my food hot and ready in no time. Not only are the portions perfect, they make sure all the food as well seasoned and taste like it was made from home. What truly makes this place five-star are the people that work there. They are super friendly and always welcoming. Well I have become a regular here, I know that I would recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been. I know they would openly welcome them in, recommend delicious menu favorites and make them feel like a regular. It's not a place I would've thought to go at first, but I'm glad I did. It's not huge, but there is a small outside section for those who prefer outdoor dining considering the current state of things. read more

Food was good and the server was great. I do wish the cheese in my western Omelette was a little bit more melted, but it wasn't a deal breaker as the food was fresh and filled with flavor. I definitely loved the fact that the waitress designed a grizzly bear with foam in my café con leche. Overall, I would definitely go back. read more

So glad I found this hidden gem! Always great customer service whether you're dining in or taking out. Everything I've had from breakfast omelettes or breakfast sandwiches to the lunch has been extremely good and flavorful! Their prices are also super reasonable. read more

When we walked in, they were super nice and friendly, sat us at a table and quickly served us. We ordered two cappuccinos, and it was such a sweet touch that she put some whipped cream on it for us. You could tell they really care at this place. We ordered a steak and eggs breakfast and a chicken salad. Both came out promptly and everything was very fresh and delicious. The place is very clean. I saw the girls wiping down the tables and even wiping the walls, it goes to show how much they care about the environment here. From what I can see this isn't really a fancy place, but it's definitely a good place to come to get some delicious homestyle food whether you're in the mood for American or for Latin food, we saw a lot of locals dining in. If we live nearby, we would definitely come back! read more

As diners go American Coffee has a factors going for it. Most unique is the restaurant serves Cafe Olay which is quite an upgrade from standard diner coffee. And the foam is so tasty. Their omelets are also very nicely done. The proportions for my bacon spinach were just right. This diner can get rather crowded so plan accordingly. read more

My husband & I first discovered this place back in 2020 (when everyone was afraid to venture outside... ) & we loved it! We've been wanting to come back, & we finally made that happen this year! We both really love their Cafe con Leche! (That's what sold me on the place originally ). I also love their Eggs Benedict with Canadian Bacon! I highly recommend trying this place out if you're ever in Oakland Park! read more

There were no redeeming qualities to name from my experience at American Coffee Shop. My chicken quesadilla was the worst I've ever had. It was barley edible and I had a stomach ache after. The chicken was rubbery and fatty plus everything was very greasy. The other guest has a BLT which was not good either. Even the potato salad was gross. The service was decent, but I won't be giving them another chance. Once I get sick from any place, that's it! It always amazes me when they have such great review and I have such a bad experience. read more

If you don't stop in for dinner on Friday or Saturday evening, you are missing out! Friendly staff, fast and efficient service and a personable owner who checks in with all his customers. The empanadas listed as an appetizer are HUGE and could serve 2 people. We each ordered one, then devoured them as we both were hungry (and they were delicious) but ended up taking half our meals home. We both chose a Cuban dish for dinner. Hubby raved about his Cuban sandwich. I tasted the pork which was amazing with whatever secret marinade is used. My picadillo had great depth of flavor and I didn't find it muddied by grease as in the case at most places. It was well drained but not dry at all. It's served over white rice with a side of black beans. I enjoyed the beans which were nicely seasoned and complemented the meal very well. Too frequently chefs have a heavy hand with salt but not here. If you are looking to get out for a quick meal, look no further than American Coffee Shop, one of our friendly local businesses. With the remodeled addition, there's plenty of seating now. We'll definitely be going back to explore more menu items. read more

Great place to eat and friendly staff. Manager is friendly and makes sure he greets patrons.

I've been coming here for years and they finally opened for dinner on Fridays and Saturdays only. The food was amazing, the Lechon was so flavorful and juicy. I'll be back to try more dinner items. The owner made sangria and it was perfect. Not too sweet or too strong. I love how they renovated the space and made it bigger. You won't be disappointed, come give this place a try. read more

GREAT SERVICE! Our server, Lucy, greeted us promptly. She went above and beyond by offering us hand sanitizer, condiments, and by being so attentive. Not even at restaurants with two dollar signs $$ are the servers this nice! My hubs got the Denver omelette and added green bell peppers. We both got beef and potato empanadas that were yummy. And I got a small cafe con leche. My hubs also got a side of the sausage gravy which was bomb. The food was great and fresh, the environment is small and homey, the service was really great, and as a Latina, I love supporting Latin-owned and ran businesses. read more

Stopped in for breakfast 6/9/2024. Ordered huevos rancheros with home fries and Mexican Omelet with a side of tomatoes. Food was great, even the tomatoes were fresh and perfectly ripe. The Cuban coffee was excellent. The service was fast and very friendly. The owner checked on us twice to make sure everything was OK. The diner is spotless. I wish I was a local. This would be a regular stop. read more

South Florida has more than its share of diners but American Coffee Shop is set apart for a few reasons. First, this diner serves cafe olay which is an upgrade from standard diner coffee. Second, they serve much better quality bacon than the standard institutionalize version. Third, this place has an eclectic mix of Spanish speakers, workers and visitors that seems to mesh well. The food is also good. My eggs were cooked properly and the pancakes were fluffy. I would recommend this for a break from the standard. read more

My pan con lechón was delicious, my friend had the grilled Caesar wrap, he said it was ok. I wished they had renovated the kitchen area, it is a mess, so i suggest if you go there, seat in the additional area so you don't see what's happening in the tiny kitchen. read more

Quaint little place very friendly service quick food good food decently priced definitely a good breakfast place to grab some food

Great! Delicious food, great service, super clean. That old school diner feel. Exactly what a traditional diner used to be and should be. The kind of place that rarely exists anymore. The owner was actually there, introduced himself and was very nice. What makes this restaurant so special is because you can tell the owner loves his business, his staff and his customers. Our food was so good, inexpensive and the portions were generous. Thank you!! read more

Nelson and the staff are awesome! I visit this restaurant very often. The quality of their food is consistently excellent. it is obvious they use fresh ingredients in all their dishes. The omelettes and lunch sandwiches are phenomenal. I always recommend this restaurant to my friends and they all have the same the same positve experience that I have. I give this restaurant five stars in the areas of quality, service and cleanliness. read more

American Coffee Shop - Coffee options - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oakland Park, Florida

I was waiting for my coffee at this restaurant ( the coffee is amazing) and a lady who appeared to be down on her luck walked in and asked for some food. One of the workers said she'd help her and brought her out a breakfast sandwich without charging her. Not only is the food and coffee amazing but the people who work here are kind and always pleasant. Will continue to make this a regular stop for my morning coffee. read more

This little coffee shop is more like a 70's retro decor, diner joint with its booths, long counter, stools and various cool American pride murals on all the walls. I came in for a bite on an early Saturday afternoon. I was cheerfully greeted. I chose my seat/booth. The greeter brought me a menu & utensils right away and asked for my order. I advised it was my first time there and I needed time to review the menu. I also needed time to decide on breakfast or lunch, meal or sandwich. They have a decent sized menu with some good sounding options. Servers came by a few times, I felt a bit rushed to order so I asked for recommendations. After a couple of questions on the pork they use, I finally decided on a hot large cafe con leche and a Cuban sandwich. The hot cafe con leche came out right away. I was surprised when I got a regular sized coffee mug (as I had ordered a large) and that it had an American expresso flavor. It was more like a latte (with foam) than a cafe con leche (which doesn't have foam) but it was good. Ten or fifteen minutes later, out came the star of the show...their Cuban sandwich. The layered combination of their moist, savory chopped pork, salty Taylor ham, gooey Swiss cheese, pickles, tangy yellow mustard, Cuban bread (not cut from loaves, pre cut/made individual Cuban rolls) pressed together was impressive in its authenticity. The composition, fresh ingredients, flavor and taste were on point. I enjoyed it more with each bite. I was hoping for a server to come by during my feeding frenzy as I needed napkins and some water but it took a while before anyone came by again. The sandwich came with the option of potato salad or home fries. French fries were $1 extra and I wasn't really in the mood for French fries, yes I said that, so I ordered the home fries. The home fries were more like a potato pancake but crispy on just one side, the top. The bottom was creamy potato goodness with bits of minced onion. Delightful. Nelson, the owner, came by asked how the food was, I gave him kudos on the authenticity of his Cuban sandwich. Nice guy, good latte, great food. The service was friendly but a bit to eager at times and not attentive enough at other times. I got the feeling they might be new to the service industry. They have many good sounding menu options that I will be back to try. I would come here to have breakfast on the way to the beach, lunch on the way back, pick up some sandwiches to take to the beach or if I just happen to be in the area. If you live in the surrounding area and haven't tried them out yet get going :) read more

Were in a unfamiliar part of town and saw them in a strip center while looking for a Colada and ran in. We decided to have lunch and a pastry with that Colada and were not disappointed.

We had a nice visit here recently. The seating is limited, and it felt a little chaotic when we first got there. At first we sat at the counter seating as there were no tables open. It was myself and the two kids. It was a little hard to talk with them, but eventually when a table opened up we moved so we could talk and look at one another. The drinks come in cans opposed to fountain drinks so no free refills. I ordered a cafe con leche and finished off my meal with some water.The kids ordered lemonade and sprite. I got the baconado omelet (I think that is the name) which was a special. The specials were listed on a board outside, and I couldn't find them anywhere inside so I had to walk back out and look. That comes with your choice of toast, and either potatoes or grits. The kids split a waffle and a side of bacon. Theirs came out first as they ran out of potatoes and were making them real fast. I was given other options, but I wanted to wait. My omelet was quite tasty. I am trying to remember what was in it..... spinach, provolone, bacon, and avocado. The portion was very big! I was pleasantly surprised. The waffle was plenty big for them to share, and the bacon was cooked very good and crisp. The staff was very kind, and a man named Nelson asked us how we heard about the restaurant and how our food was. He wished us a nice day and hoped to see us come back soon. The prices were very affordable especially if you have a family. The tables will not fit more than 4 people though. We look forward to going back to visit our new friends. read more

The food was delicious. As a cuban from Miami, the cuban egg Benedict caught my eye since I've never seen anything like it before. So glad I decided to venture out, it was fantastic. Pork was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend. Couldn't leave without a cafe con leche which also was good. My partner got the huevos ranchero omelette and pancakes. Salsa and veggies were fresh and delicious. Pancakes were good too! To top it off, service was FANTASTIC. I felt super welcomed and Nelson was super attentive and warm. Will deffffffinitely be coming back here again! read more

We come here every climbing weekend before we hit the gym. We live an hour away but we make sure we have time for breakfast here beforehand. It's tradition now. Love this little cafe. There is definitely a reason the menu says home of the cafe con leche. Make sure you get one. Perfect foam on top. I've tried a few omelets but ever since I've gotten their unique sweet plantain omelet with home fries(you could choose grits or oatmeal instead), I've stuck with that. Everyone was jealous of my meal when I first got it and now they changed their orders and get it too. The staff is very friendly and always happy to see us. read more
