THE GREATEST COFFEE SHOP IN FORT LAUDERDALE!!! Amazing single origin options, creative specialty drinks and yummy bites, its a weekly stop for me read more

This is such a great little coffee spot! Every time I visit, I'm reminded why I keep coming back. The coffee is delicious! I get an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and cold foam on top. One of the best parts of this place is the gentleman behind the counter (I forgot his name, sorry!) He is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely makes every customer feel appreciated. Great customer service goes a long way, and he definitely delivers. We chatted about our pups and enjoyed our conversation! They also have a really good selection of fresh pastries. If you visit, the monkey pull-apart bread is an absolute must try! If you're looking for a cozy local coffee shop with excellent coffee, friendly service, and delicious pastries, I highly recommend stopping by. It's become one of my go-to spots, and I always look forward to my next visit! read more

What!? I didn't even realize this coffee shop existed, let alone thie Thrive Arts District. What a hidden gem. I opted for the iced horchatta latte and ham and cheese croissant. The latte had two shots of espresso and was perfectly balanced with that wonderful cinnamon flavor. The croissant was buttery, flakey and hit the spot. Service was fast and friendly and the inside was clean and welcoming. I'll probably be back tomorrow ;) read more

Swung by to try a new coffee spot. Inside is a little small, with not much seating. Outside tables could use an umbrella, not metal tables/chairs. My husband's coffee was great; he got a flat white, and the beans were Brazil. The coffee to milk portion was perfect! I got the Matcha with guava, the flavors were there, but the guava was too thick. Would have been nice if it had been blended in rather than drizzled/on the bottom. Last I highly recommend their pistachio croissant. Flaky, soft, and stuffed. Overall, I enjoyed it and would try again. read more

Put "coffee" in my NAV and this place popped up. It was never on my radar before, so I was def intrigued. I pulled up to an interesting partially developed art district. It's exciting to see how it will be in that area once completed. The coffee was spectacular...the Dulce de Leche latte to be exact. I decided to even purchase two fresh bags of beans for my home coffee. He gets the beans from Mexico and the taste is exceptional. Stop in and try!! The pastries looks so good and different than any I've seen elsewhere. read more

Long overdue review of my new favorite coffee place. (Wells Coffee who!?!) You read that correctly. Alex and his team are amazing and I absolutely love every chance I get to come visit Obsidian. I am currently obsessing over their pistachio almond milk latte. And of course, a pistachio croissant when they have them! I should I really start trying something else but for now, these are my go to's! Their baked goods and foods are all made from a local French baker and the shop is quaint with seating inside and out. If you're into cool coffee contraptions, they also have a gravity cold brew thing going on inside. I'm sure it makes the coffee taste ten times better and will have to try it soon. I know that other matcha place is across the street (no shade) but Alex did assure me he also makes a fire matcha latte as well. If you haven't been to Obsidian yet for a cup of Joe, I highly recommend stopping in soon. 10/10 recommend and coming back on the regular! read more

A new coffee (& matcha) spot within the Thrive Art District in Fort Lauderdale. I was recommended by a fellow Yelp Elite to check out this lil cafe and I'm so happy I did! I saw it when driving to Alma Matcha & Steamy Lit and was so curious to check it out. When I walked over one day, I was greeted warmly by the owner Anthony. It wasn't too busy when I walked in so I got to chat about their menu and hear about some of the art they have inside, which was actually made by his husband! There are a few tables inside and out as well as bar-style seating. I was able to connect to their wifi and get some work done with my intern while we were here. We both got iced matcha lattes and I was so happy to hear that they had pandan here. If you aren't familiar with pandan, it's green in color & for flavor- it has a coconut-y, almost vanilla-like flavor that is mostly found in Filipino or Vietnamese cuisine. Ube is the more popular flavor you can find but Pandan is on the rise and I'm so happy they had it here! Anthony added it to my matcha and it was the perfect addition. They take care in the matcha and coffee. I'm not a coffee connoisseur but if you love coffee, definitely stop by and ask Anthony about it! Such a great addition to the Thrive Art District area and can't wait to stop by again the next time I'm around! read more

Waited impatiently what felt like an eternity for this coffee shop to open in the Thrive Art District. Finally, today I pulled the front door and it swung open. Immediately greeted by the staff and the owner Anthony. My nostrils locked into the strong scent of fresh coffee beans which produced a wide grin on my face. Loved the black open rafter ceiling and the cracked cement floor providing a strong industrial theme. The gender neutral bathroom was clean, basic and continued that industrial theme throughout. The menu was strictly coffee, matcha and tea while providing small pastry bites to accompany your thirst, although the early risers wiped them out before my afternoon visit. Ordered a double espresso shot of a Mexican - Brazilian blend. The espresso was presented in an onyx colored ceramic cup which displayed originality. The caffeine jolt was instant which enhanced my verbal communication with the barista. Had an in depth discussion with the owner about his coveted Kyoto Ice Drip coffee apparatus (resembled a high school chemistry experiment) proudly displayed on the back counter for customers to watch in awe. The upper glass chamber flows ice water down to the center glass beaker which mixes with the Chiapas Mexican coffee grounds then swirls downward as the black liquid brew drips very slowly into the bottom beaker producing the final product. This is a cashless coffee shop with friendly staff, strong brews and a notable sense of ingenuity. Must stop by this place if near the Thrive Art District. read more

I had such a lovely experience at this place. The staff was super cool, you could tell they love talking about their coffee beans they source like, it's obvious they care so much about the product they're selling. I got the matchata latte and omggg so good. I was not too sweet it was made perfect! Highly recommend. Also the matcha they use is super vibrant and delicious. My friend got a decaf cappuccino and she said the coffee was actually amazing - usually decaf can taste so bland. Also, as a bonus they have stunning artwork on display and it turns out the artist was right next to me the entire time! If you want matcha or delicious coffee with sweets do yourself a favor and come here!! read more

My hubby dragged me here this morning to try the espresso that he was bragging about. Perfect timing since the pastry guy was dropping off fresh pastries. The owner poured me a single espresso and gently coaxed me into buying an almond croissant. The coffee had a nice roasty taste and the croissant was excellent and shared a few bites with my hubby. Will be back for more. read more

Nice, cute, and clean coffee shop. I guess it recently opened and the staff is still getting trained, so the barista was not confident in my first order request of a Pour Over. I opted instead for an easy Cold Brew with Pandan flavor (to spice things up.) It was decent, but nothing amazing. Perhaps in a month or so they will be confident enough to make a pour over to truly differentiate their coffee from other coffee shops. read more

New coffee shop in Thrive market a new area in Fort Lauderdale where there is Pilates, art and breweries near by. I tried the Tres Leches Latte, which was disappointing because the fudge would sit on the bottom and couldn't drink it. I had to get pumps of vanilla flavor in it. My friend got the pistachio ice latte which tasted better! If you want to sit and sip, there's two tables outside with benches or there is inside seating. Overall, cute spot but definitely wouldn't get the Tres Leches latte again. read more

dropped in when i was in the area, got an iced americano and it was pretty good. staff was friendly and helpful when answering any questions i had. read more

Brandon is a very good barista and the place has potential however Obsidian is claiming and serving a 12 ounce latte in an 8 ounce cup. Not honest. I did a measuring test and actually the amount of coffee we were served measured ONLY 6.5 ounces. We will not return. P.S. I actually asked if what we were served was a 12 oz latte and the answer was YES - also it was $7.75 Outrageous! read more

Another lovely visit to Obsidian Coffee! We grabbed a vanilla latte with oat milk and the raspberry croissant - both were excellent! Be sure to stop by Connect Records Shop, Steamy Lit Book Store and Uncommon Path Brewery while you're there - amazing small businesses at Thrive Art District! read more

I found my new favorite coffee spot in Fort Lauderdale! The coffee here is strong, flavorful and made with love and intention. The vibes are nice, in writing this from the lil table inside the shop sipping a cappuccino. The service is friendly and fast! I even got a punch card! I'm excited to have a new spot that feels unique, prioritizes quality and service. I go to the yoga studio nearby so I'll be a frequent guest here. My only recommendation to the owner is to change the music, you have beautiful Mexican/ Latin theme. The music should reflect this to bring the vibe full circle. The conchas were a great idea! I'd love if they brought in a variety of pan dulce! Croissants are cool but everyone has them. Regardless, I love this place! read more
