And I was hungry, so I looked for Brazilian food and found Casa do Pastel. A pastel is essentially an empanada, but deep fried. I didn't know what to get, so I asked the young lady with the pretty smile what was good. She suggested the beef, egg and cheese (that's one) and the chicken, cheese and bacon. When she brought the food she asked if I wanted ketchup, because I am that white. I asked for hot sauce. Both were delicious. I prefer beef over chicken (my doctor hates that), so next time I'll have two beef. Or maybe a shrimp. I also had a glass of sugar cane juice. I've had that before and it was just like I remembered it. The place is clean. The service is excellent. The food is good. A very winning combination and I will be back.

This is your specialty hidden "hole in the wall" place for Peruvian empanadas!!…read more The locals know of this spot and keep it a secret! I was inducted into this secret and I want to share... got an empanada craving? Come here!! There was a looong line for these delicious freshly baked well- filled empanadas... and they also have Peruvian tamales and I saw some nicely robust pan-con-chicharrón sandwiches... what can I say: we will go back to try them! As for this time, we tried and loved the meat empanadas: the filling was nice and full, no skimpy bits of meat: nice serving for $3.50. We tried the chicken tamal and it was okay, but dry but overall a nice flavor, and finally we tried the alfajores that were warmed up at the car and were they were very nice as well. There is a line. There are only 3 tables and 5 barstools on the side... most people order to go, but if you want to eat inside, you have to negotiate with the people sitting at the tables. Do not hesitate to "reserve" your spot. I waited until we were at the top of the line, and someone 6 people behind us with no order had already negotiated and sat at a table... regardless of the fact that she didn't get her food until after we had already finished eating: the table "system" sucked, but we got another one of the tables and most customers take their orders to go, so it was not that bad. Phew! Anyway: I am uncovering the hole in the wall and letting the world know that they can get their fill on empanadas in this little shop in Margate. Enjoy!!

The Odom Cash Vending Cafe manages and owns the eatery while leasing the section from Arrigo providing a wonderful needed service. The barista was very friendly and provided swift service. I ordered the guava pastry with a hot cup of coffee. The handwritten small but delightful menu offers all of the traditional coffees, sodas, pastries, including empanadas, bagels and pastelitos. Every item on the menu is priced under $5.00. The guava pastry, with its sweet filling and flaky crust, paired with my Americano, was a satisfying combo. Customers can enjoy their coffee and pastries at the tables provided in the cafe, giving them a moment of relaxation. What a thoughtful touch for a place that's typically associated with vehicle servicing. Another fantastic feature is the bathroom was spotless and perfectly positioned next to the cafe.

The pastries were fresh and flaky. The wait, however, on a Sunday morning is long! The line was from the counter to the door!

I have been to a few Lavazza franchise stores, including other locations a the Eataly in Century…read moreCity LA and Las Vegas, and I can certainly say this location at Aventura Mall is not my favorite by far. This location just opened a few days ago within the new Eataly at Aventura Mall. I excuse them just because it barely opened and second because they looked overwhelmed. This said, I need to mention what happened with my visit and why I think it was not the kind of experience I was looking for. My latte macchiato was requested as "for here" because I wanted to have it in a coffee mug as opposed to a cardboard cup. The barista mistakenly made my order in a paper cup, ok that's not what I ordered but it is not a big deal actually. However, what it really bothered me was the fact the guy who was running the place realized about the problem, told the barista, she regretted the mistake and he continued with that's ok, without asking me if it was indeed ok, and right away called my name like nothing happened. All of this is taking place on my face. I politely said I had ordered it in a coffee mug, which he answered by automatically getting a mug and pouring the contents of the paper cup in the mug. When you are overpaying for a coffee, $6.50 plus taxes ($7.20) for a small latte macchiato and tipped $1 on top of this, you feel like something is wrong. A barista working at a place that charges this much and of this caliber knows well a new drink should be make or at least get the customer's approval before taking that executive decision. This said the coffee was not even medium hot and the quality of the coffee was 3.5 stars at its best. All in all, I will come back to this Lavazza, I know they can do it better next time around.

It was beautiful with a graham cracker crust and some kind of whipped topping. And it was soooo good! The gelato was fantastic. And it definitely serves more than 4 people. We all had enough and there was still nearly half of the cake left. I have to say that the price point is a little on the high side. But it is absolutely worth it for a special occasion.
