2 eggs special fried eggs hash browns bagel.
Rob B.

Classic breakfast and lunch with a classic look. You definitely take a travel back in time stepping into this jewel. This place is hidden away in Hollywood and Taft. The Ambiance is very welcoming and service is top. classic diner food with great price. We will definitely be stopping back in the near future.

One thing you can't deny about Taft Street Cafe is that the staff works incredibly hard. They were running around at top speed, managing a very large crowd of diners. I wish their hard work translated to excellent customer service and delicious food, but the whole experience left us underwhelmed. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the dated decor. Dont get me wrong, the place is clean, it's just more of a dive than a diner. More important than the ambiance is the food. None of it was seasoned at all, not even with salt and pepper. I'm not sure what that sauce was on the eggs benedict, but it surely was not hollandaise. Plus, the English muffin wasn't even toasted. It was so off-putting that when my husband gave me a bite, I wanted to spit it out into a napkin. He was hungry, so he ate it. We would have mentioned something to our server, but nobody ever came back to check on us after the food was dropped off. I ordered the spinach and feta omelette that was on special. The omelette was way overcooked and so dry that it split in half (a clean break) when they tried to fold it. This place has all the classic dishes and it looked like it was well supported by the locals. I'm sure it's fine by most standards, but as frequent visitors to the area, the food just wasn't good enough to earn a repeat visit.

Tuna Salad Deluxe
Myrna R.

Have you ever been in the mood, for a good ol' classic tuna salad sandwich? Taft Street is just that. Classic, friendly and efficient! Just close your eyes and picture yourself in an 80's dinner restaurant. No frills and thrills, just good tasty food! Total meal cost $13.10!! Tuna salad was delicious, French fries were cooked just right (no oily or greasy after taste), coleslaw was fresh and also full of flavor. Don't expect a fancy place but do expect it to be clean and surrounded by memorabilia from the 80's including all decor. If you're in the area, swing by but you do need to come early. Everyday of the week from 7am-3pm. Plus they serve breakfast all day!

I've been coming here a long time. The food is great services. Excellent when you come ask for Valerie she'll take good care of you and you will enjoy.

The staff is friendly and attentive. My coffee cup never went empty. The customer service is top notch and the food makes you feel like your grandma made it for you. Excellent all around.

I have a tuna, melt french fries, came out piping hot.

Man am I so happy we stopped here!! Was out on a morning stroll and my wife was getting hangry! We…read morewere on our way somewhere else but something told me to stop and try this place, IM GLAD IT DID! We started with the kids pancakes for our baby and if he could type he would be as excited as I am, they were delicious and he devoured them! We got the sausage egg and cheese on everything bagel and a BLT on everything bagel. Coming from California (land of bad bagels) we were in heaaaveennnn!! Seasoning on both sides OVERFLOWING with fillings I mean these bagels were the greatest bagels we've had in a looooong time!! The atmosphere is amazing in here, you hear every accent you feel at home and the owner main waitress was a RIOT! She knew her customers and had peoples regular ordered memorized, she was impressive! Every person in there was friendly and made it such a nice time to eat and relax even with our baby. Amazing spot and will be going back every morning until we leave!

I went on vacation to Ft. Lauderdale for a mini vacation and came across this restaurant for…read morebreakfast. I went here around 3 years ago and the food did not disappoint. I love French toast and theirs was amazing. Also, I usually don't get breakfast meat because I don't eat pork. This restaurant has turkey bacon. My boyfriend enjoyed his pancakes as well. This restaurant has a great location next to the beach. The wait staff is not the attentive
