For a good breakfast or brunch, it us hard to find a better place than Kendall Café. First of all, the ambiance is relaxed and the staff are friendly and welcoming, but above all that, the service is fast and food is delicious. Whether your are ordering an omelet (Western or Spicy omelet for me please) or you want to jump into lunch with one of many sandwiches they have on the menu, everything tastes good and price is reasonable. There is no better way to start the day read more

Came for breakfast and was really delighted!! Their coffee was excellent no bitterness!! Had eggs and sausage and their sausage was not the thin links but chubby ones which is just the ones I particularly love!!! Son had eggs pancakes hash browns God can he enjoy breakfast. This time he got so full he couldn't eat it all but enjoyed everything!!! We will be returning as the 3 wait staff were terrific our cups were never empty and our needs were always met!!!! read more

Perfect little diner across from the soccer fields. glad we found this place because the food is great and the prices are amazing. Service was quick and we were in and out in 20 minutes. The menu was perfect and will definitely be back. Not sure what the negative comments are for. The food was good the waitresses were friendly enough. do people need to be coddled at a restaurant? read more

My go to for breakfast. The restaurant is always clean. It has a southern family feel. Family owned and operated so the pride in running the restaurant is obvious. I have too many favorites to list... if you are looking for a place to meet or hear yourself think... you won't be disappointed. Food is cooked to order... another plus. read more

Man it pains me to write this as I like to support local, but the food was just bland and nothing to write home about. We ordered corned beef hash (burned on bottom) with poached eggs (very nicely done) and premade hash browns (very bland). The bread was toasted nicely. The omelette and grits were flavorless. The French toast was decent, nothing special. The owners seemed to have put more effort into the decor instead of the food. You walk in, it's a beautiful place with a calming sense. It is VERY quiet. The wait staff is attentive and polite. It's a great set up, but the food was not great. read more

A great hidden gem. The food was delicious, great customer service, and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this restaurant. They are family owned so everyone servicing you is family. Meaning, they will treat you LIKE family and that's endearing. Please keep in mind that this is not a fancy restaurant but it is fantastic for a quick breakfast or lunch. read more

Everything was great from the service to the food! Ambiance was great and waiter was friendly.

The food is good, however most of the staff is not nice. Not a welcoming atmosphere and asking questions really annoys some of the wait staff. This is not a one and done review. I have been there three times and it's always the same, although twice was the same waitress. read more

So I've been going to Kendall kafe and D'Apple when it was open for years. The family that runs it is awesome. I had breakfast at the kafe the other day and I came again this morning. Someone asked me why I went back so soon. And I thought to myself that i "feel safe and welcomed" like family. read more

They're open early Sunday mornings! Am staying in a hotel nearby with no restaurant. May give them a try. read more

Food was excellent and service was good. Reminds you of being upstate New York in a small quaint town.

We were near by and the Kendall Kafe came up via Yelp and we decided to give it a try. It is located in a small strip mall in the middle of Kings Point on Nob Hill. It's next to a Humana office so the parking lot looks a lot busier than the restaurant - although when we left all tables were occupied and there was a short wait. First, the restaurant is clean and welcoming. There are a lot of positive affirmations on the walls and the staff is friendly. I had the Athenian made with egg whites. The filling was nicely distributed and there wasn't an overload of any one ingredient. I opted for grits and a biscuit for my accompaniments. I enjoyed it all. My coffee was hot and fresh. Since I drink it black, I always appreciate a fresh cup of coffee. My husband had a grilled cheese sandwich with ham. He had cucumber salad as his side. He enjoyed his meal as well. The menu has a nice variety, is reasonably priced and it was nice to not have to mortgage my home for breakfast. Will definitely stop by again next time we are in the neighborhood. read more

Sorry folks, the only positive thing I can say about this place is that it's convenient. The food and service are equally bad. I desperately tried to like it, returning for four visits. It was bad every time. There will not be a fifth. read more

Worried about all the negative reviews about how rude the staff is. Hope they do something about that. I'll try it in the future hopefully I'll see a pleasant staff that is welcoming. Also good reviews On the food read more

This is a case study on how business can change locations and still deliver the same level of quality in food and service The place is spotless as the previous location (D'apples cafe that was a tradition in Coral Springs pre pandemic, from veterans family and reopened a bit south few years ago) Today I left gym and decided that since wife was back home sleeping in,I would revisit the place And sure enough I found new options on the already good menu. It is healthy ! It has avocado on it ! And it is rye toast !(with butter but...I am just human) Jokes aside, it is a good omelet with good hashbrowns and the price is pretty good Service always on point. read more

Hands down one of the best breakfasts I've had. My husband found this gem while were down by fort Lauderdale. We both got the hillbilly (don't judge! We were hungover and it looked so good) we also asked for a side of gravy for our potatoes- def recommend! I got the home fries. They were the best home fries I've ever ate. Crispy on top! I might wear out the word YUM but yum!! I also got the sausage links. Which were huge. There was way too much food but I loved sampling everything on my plate. Our server was very attentive and nice. Everyone that worked there was friendly. The outside was was a little dodgy at first. But inside was simple charming old fashion diner. They don't have Wi-Fi but it gives you a chance to enjoy your company. My only complaint is there isn't one by me!! Yummmm! read more

Not the best service either. Ordered medium got rare . Will not return She should not be in the service business If that keeps up they will not b there much longer .

We came in yesterday and were very disappointed. Our last visit wowed us, today we wondered what went wrong. The service was slow despite it being half full. It seemed like there were 3 servers. We were seated promptly but then another 10 minutes before sometime took our order. I ordered the tuna melt on rye with Cole slaw and an iced coffee. I was so excited that they had coffee ice cubes but the coffee itself was bitter and needed a lot more creamers than I'm used to putting in. My tuna melt was lackluster. A small amount of tuna with a slice of cheese on heavily buttered rye. The tuna tasted off to me. The cole slaw was the star of my lunch. My husband got the country fried steak sandwich which he ate but said he would not get it again. I highly doubt we will return or next time stick with basic breakfast fare which is what we had last time. read more

STAY AWAY - FAR FAR AWAY ... First of all, the place is basically not busy at all, when I went there only one or two customers, (I really don't know how they are surviving). The other day went there (I usually take my order to go) and then I get a nasty young girl with a bad attitude who sits there doing nothing (looks bad as well) supposedly a waitress or the other woman that works there as well horrible customer service, not nice at all only went because in the neighborhood. When I ask for extra napkins they actually give me a rationed one napkin (seriously), when they have plenty of napkins, how generous.. Also I usually get a cold toasted bagel with my meal (no didn't order that), guess they are just not a happy group, business is not doing well-I sure can see why. Nasty people, believe its a family owned, I don't recommend this restaurant.. Recommendation - Don't bother dining there, I think they should be reported for an inspection. Horrible all around !!! read more

Kendall Kafe, formally known as D'Apple Cafe in a new location in Tamarac. Located in the old Thai Shushi restaurant in the strip Plaza. The owners had to close their old restaurant last year do to COVID-19, at that time I was very sad to see it as they had been there 13 years. Interior design is more modern. Has a couple counter seats. Great for breakfast and lunch. Was happy to see the friendly faces of owners and staff. They kept the other place very clean and this place was no exception. Being they had opened just a few days ago the kinks of being open for their first weekend were being worked out. Nothing major, just need to maybe move the host station over by the door for greeting, seating and menus. Same great food quality and service. Please folks support local family owned business. This is one of the good ones to come to!!!! read more

Time to close the doors Kendall Kafe... Sorry but they've been w/o AC for over 3 months and the quality of the food has gone way down. The home fries are more like home boiled potatoes with a little sear on them. The pancakes are rubbery and very hard to eat, and completely tasteless. The waitress was super nice, but that's not enough... read more

Other than the a couple of lids that work there, I think we were the youngest people eating here. I'm not sure if the tables were spaced out for covid or just for the patrons with walkers to move easily through the restaurant. Nevertheless, it's not about the people, it's about the service, the food and the restaurant. The restaurant, it's kept clean. The service, it was very good. Now, the food. The menu had a nice variety of breakfast and lunch items. So my wife had breakfast and I had brunch. She had the Athenian omelet with egg whites. She got with a biscuit and grits. Really good grits, I got to try them. The omelet and biscuit must have been good. Not even a bite leftover. Now me I opted for a grilled cheese with ham on wheat bread with a side of cucumber salad. When it first came out, I thought they sent out a side of sliced bananas instead of cucumber salad. It was the first time I'd ever had cucumber salad with the cucumbers peeled and thick slices. "Normally, they are paper thin with the skin on them. It was good, and so was the grilled cheese. If I'm in the area again I would definitely eat Jerry again read more

I go there for breakfast or lunch on a weekly basis and have never been disappointed. The food is great, prices are fair and the service is fantastic. Michelle and her crew are the best. 5 stars here. read more

Where to go that is local and have a quick lunch? Surprisingly this is the place to go. In my experience most local, small establishments are at best just ok. Kendall Kafe was definitely a step above. My brother and sister in law had the Philly cheese steak sandwich which was very good. The side cole slaw was just ok as it was chopped not shredded which we prefer. I on the other hand had a Turkey breast wrap with cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was very tasty. The service was swift and friendly. Who could ask for more. read more

Extremely inexpensive I had eggs Benedict for the first time. If you like positive affirmations you will love it here!!! They are all over the place!! read more

Found this place after being in town for a concert and it was awesome! We waited about 10 minutes to be seated, and found the dining area to be clean, bright, and plenty of room between tables - it was also noticeably quieter and less chaotic than many places we've been for breakfast. Friendly service, home fries are crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside - tasty! Eggs were cooked perfectly, refills arrived before our cups ever got below halfway, and the prices are affordable in a world of overinflation. Highly recommend! read more

Upon entering the front door it's a cute place with a sign that says please wait to be seated however we were shouted at from across the store to sit at a dirty table then directed to another one that was clean from the same shouted voice , nevertheless we ordered, food came and looked delish until I looked at my rye toast that had white mold specks on it and the server came and told me the cook told her that's the rye smh ‍ really ok I just changed it to English muffin, my potato's were ice cold like it was cold held then scooped on our plates we sent them back for reheat ,, no apology's from any manager i fact our server a young lady with face piercings and colorful hair was at the counter on her phone ,, I can say the place has a lot of potential very cute ,, I was confused not being able to see the kitchen also no music which made it kinda awkward, this place could use hood servers and a retrained cook (icy potatoes) prices are good for area read more

food is good but very rude ! I asked the daughter who served me food if she had a cold as she was sneezing and served me my food. I have asthma and a lung disease of chronic cough. The owner told me you have a cold and is sick. Don't ask questions and you will be fine. They were rude to my friend who is handicapped another time. read more

Tamarac's best hidden gem!!! Wonderful mom and pop breakfast restaurant !! I've only been here for breakfast and hope to make it for lunch sometime. I believe they close at 3 pm. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and has a huge parking lot so parking is never a problem. I love the country feel of the place. All their coffee mugs are mismatched and they are all unique fun mugs from different places or have funny sayings. Today I had the Hillbilly Breakfast which has a biscuit and gravy, bacon or sausage and eggs and hash browns or home fries. Delicious !! My daughter had the pancakes and more breakfast. Both plates are big, plentiful, and delicious. Moreover, they are so reasonably priced. Great bang for your buck! The staff is super friendly and the service is excellent. They came by several times during breakfast to check on us and refill our coffee cups. It's a definite winner!! read more

I am so glad I tried this restaurant. Everything was excellent. Service too! Handicap friendly.

We visited Kendall Kafe after our soccer game with a large group (20+) and no reservation.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you! read more

Doesn't look like much from outside but once you enter you can tell this is a family business. I love dining at mom and pops restaurant because they cook with a lot of love. If you order their Hillbilly breakfast you can taste the love they put into their meals for customers. This is a MUST place to go and eat at for sure. It's hard to find a good breakfast/brunch restaurant and my boyfriend and I were very lucky to have found this place. You don't have to take my word for it. Go pay them a visit and let me know what you think. read more
