La Bottega Caffe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Small coffee shop that serves excellent quality coffee and delicious pastries. I tried the cream filled pastry and it was really outstanding, crunchy on the outside that melts in your mouth once you take a bite and the cream has a light citrus flavor. Very very good. And my macchiato had the perfect roasted flavor with just the right amount of cream. Service was fast and friendly. read more

I can now understand why this small Italian cafe has such high ratings. Everything was excellent! We stopped by for lunch. This place had been recommended by a guy we sat next to and chatted with at a pompano restaurant we frequent. We took the only open two-top table and looked over the menu. A number of items were appealing so it was hard to choose. My husband had their open faced salmon tartine. It had capers and thin slices of onions on top of the salmon and a layer of cream cheese below. He said it was very good. He had a coffee afterwards. I chose their tuna salad with artichokes panini (sandwich). The ciabatta bread was wonderful as was the tuna. I purposely ate only half my sandwich so I could have dessert. I had a slice of tarta de Nonna -- one of my absolute favorite desserts. Plus in south Florida it's hard to find. A thin layer of light lemon in between a shortbread crust topped with powdered sugar and pignole nuts. Yummy! We will be back. Kenny had said he loved their lasagna as well as the tartine... read more

While dining at our favorite French Bakery, a seatmate mentioned this place as one of his favorites. We can appreciate how it is a favorite! A light lunch today. I had the Smoked Salmon Tartina which was wonderful. Two slices of Italian bread with cream cheese, a generous amount of smoked salmon, a drizzle of olive oil, slivers red onion and capers. Absolutely delicious. I finished with a great Capucino. Great service and relaxing ambiance. read more

La Bottega Caffe - Arrabbiata - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I tried this place out for brunch with my girlfriends during our vacation in Florida. We really enjoyed the vibe of the place and the people working were kind and really fun to talk to! The place has a bunch of funny and silly quotes that really gave the environment some personality too. I ordered a chicken panini and it was filling and delicious! I love the bread that it came on and the portion was enough to keep me full for hours! I also ordered a cappuccino that came in a cute little cappuccino mug! It was also yummy. I'm glad I stopped by and maybe one day if I'm ever back in the area, I'll come again! read more

Ready to be blown away? The coffee was amazing. Stopped in for a random reason (waiting for a medical procedure down the road). This was such a nice, casual spot. Had the salmon on ciabatta and it was light and delicious. Took a croissant to go which was flaky and tasty! Highly recommend! read more

La Bottega Caffe - Americano in the morning! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I'm a local who's tried many cafes in the area, but this has to be my favorite one. My grandfather and I come to this cafe together almost every week. The food is always fabulous and I personally believe it has the best coffee in town! I've enjoyed every menu item I've tried and the service and atmosphere there is always wonderful. Highly recommend! My personal favorite menu items are the croissants, cappuccino, and the tuna salad panini--but everything served there is a delight. read more

La Bottega Caffe on Bayview Drive is a wonderful local hidden gem. Sal has created such a charming, welcoming spot that I'm so glad I was recently introduced to. The food is consistently fantastic - I've had the chicken piccata probably ten times already, plus the penne arrabbiata and a delicious potato-and-artichoke pasta. The croissants are incredible; the cream-filled one might be my favorite, but when it's not available, the apricot and chocolate are just as amazing. Their lattes are lovely too. I find myself going several times a week now. Sometimes I settle in for a full meal, coffee, and dessert; other times I grab take-out or stop in for a quick latte and croissant. The café has a warm, neighborhood feel; many of the tables are filled with locals speaking Italian, chatting across the room in a way that adds to the charm. It only takes a couple of visits before you feel like you've been coming here for years. Truly a special place! read more

I searched for a cafe in this person of Fort Lauderdale with wifi so that I could get some important emails done before heading back to Miami. Came across La Bottega Caffe through the Yelp app. The owner helped me work out what to get describing everything with his Italian accent. There's little authentic treats from Italy that you can't get here. Menu looks similar to the ones I would find in Italy. I'll go back to try the lunch. For now I had the coffee and it was good. read more

I was excited to try this place since it's right down the street from where I live. My friend and I both ordered cappuccinos which were perfect I don't like super strong coffee and this cappuccino was a perfect blend of coffee and foamed milk. We did not try any food, however they do sell variety of items including panna cotta & and other Italian desserts. There is a parking lot just north of the building with plenty of parking spots I look forward to coming back here regularly. read more

What a gem! This coffee place is very close to the beach. It is easy to miss when you're simply cruising by as it is on the side of a Main Street and not very flashy. So please, use your navigation or phone when getting to it. La Bottega is the definition of a "hole in the wall" coffee shop, which to my surprise, was very busy! Busy enough without being obnoxiously loud, I know YOU know what I'm saying. Aside from the coffee and the amazing owner, the food there is simple and filling. Do not let the simplicity of their menu fool you as it is all really fresh, plentiful and quality. Also, BIG TIP, Check in for a free coffee ! And there's parking right behind the establishment! read more

Visiting out of state, we were looking for a local coffee shop and decided to try La Bottega based on the reviews. We tried the Iced Latte and it tasted great! The biscotti is nice too but the little wrapped chocolates are delicious! We liked the coffee so much we visited 4-5 days out of the week we were there, the Iced Cappuccino is also good. It's a nice little shop with funny posters on the wall and the owner is friendly. Will definitely visit if we're back in the area read more

LOVE this cute local coffee shop! The owners were so sweet and welcoming. I visited this spot a few times while down in Florida since I would get up to run in the mornings (I love seeing places this way while on vacay) They have authentic gelato, great coffees and lots of tables inside for a light meal while you enjoy your beverage or bite of choice. I recommend the iced latte with an extra shot of extra strong espresso! Every time I went in there for my after run latte they also gave me a little sweet cookie to enjoy for free. I really enjoyed the 'mom and pop shop' feel and something different from your typical chain spots. This area is known for that and I love how charming the neighborhood is. I will definitely be stopping by to say hi the next time I'm visiting friends in the area! Thank you for the hospitality and smooth java. read more

I stopped in on a whim looking for coffee along my route to work based on the high reviews. I ordered a cappuccino & the apricot croissant based on the owner's recommendation. Both were absolutely delicious! I thought the apricot filling was unique & the croissant itself was soft and flaky - one of the best I've had, especially in Fort Lauderdale! The owner was kind & friendly and he clearly had regulars who come often working from the café. I will definitely be coming back to try their lunch when I'm in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Worth every star & honestly I wish I could give it more stars. We were greeted by the sweetest barista who made sure to recommend their iced latte and assured me that it could be made dairy free with oat milk. The coffee itself was probably the best I've ever had. As for the ambiance there was nothing extravagant or overly esthetic but it felt clean and homey the way a cafe should. read more

It's pretty simple... Every now and then you find a spot that you want so badly to make your own. This is one of those spots. Sal could not have made us feel more welcome, or have been a better host. Great atmosphere, stellar coffee, and the best croissant I think I've ever had. The reason for the two pictures is this... The first picture, I had already consumed most of it before I thought to take a picture. The second picture is actually what they look like. We felt like we were at a friends house. We are only here one day, but plan to be right back there tomorrow. Do yourself a favor... Skip the big boys and head to La bottega. You absolutely will not be disappointed. Thank you, Sal! read more
