P-MG, after reading your review, I honestly wondered if we even visited the same restaurant. Your experience sounds like the plot of a completely different movie. Our visit was outstanding. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly homemade. The Argentinian empanadas were excellent, the Americano breakfast and omelet were fantastic, and dessert was the perfect finish. More importantly, the service was exceptional. The mother and son made us feel like guests in their home, not just another table. You waited 32 minutes? Good food made from scratch sometimes takes time. I'd rather wait for a fresh meal than get something thrown together in five minutes. As for the "healthy food" comment, that wasn't an excuse it was an explanation. Not everything has to be drowning in butter, salt, or grease to taste good. Maybe the restaurant wasn't the problem. Sometimes when someone goes looking for something to complain about, they'll always find it. Judging by your review, it seems like nothing would have made you happy that day. We'll gladly keep coming back. Great food, great people, and a restaurant that deserves its reputation not one dramatic review trying to convince everyone otherwise. read more

Wow. Stumbled on this place today and I'm so happy I did. Choripan is excellent, empanadas are perfect!!! Service is amazing. I love this place and I will be a regular here for sure now!!!!! Excelenteeeee read more

Delicious Argentinian bakery!! Such charm as soon as you walk in and busy depending on the popular dining time. We enjoyed a meal close to IKEA/Sawgrass area. ++ Chicken and green onion empanada ++ Beef empanada ++ Choripan sandwich ++ cappuccino ++ iced coffee Very cool bakery with lots of various pastries both sweet and savory. Looking forward to coming back for sweet pastries. It's a busy plaza with lots of food options so might need to drive around to find a parking spot. You scan a QR code for the menu. Lionel Messi would feel at home here. read more

Stopped by this little coffee shop in the plaza after visiting the cake shop next door. When I walked in, the staff wasn't very friendly or welcoming. I asked about their iced coffee options, and there was only one flavor available, so I decided to try an iced café con leche. The drink was just okay, nothing special, especially for the $5 price. Overall, the experience felt flat. Would I return? No. Would I recommend? Also no. read more

Vita Nostra Bakery Bistro is the kind of spot you start with once and end up returning to every morning without overthinking it. The space is soft, clean, and feminine with chandeliers, gray seating, and pastel walls. It feels calm in a city that does not do calm very often. The food is consistent and reliable. The empanadas were the move. The beef, spicy beef, and ham and cheese all delivered. Crisp exterior, hot filling, and no grease. The ham and cheese croissant sandwiches were simple and perfect. No soggy bread, no cheap cheese. Just a solid breakfast that does not waste your time. The coffee deserves its own line. It is strong, smooth, and not burnt. Easily one of the best coffees we had in Fort Lauderdale. That alone made the repeat visits an easy decision. Service is kind and fast. Pricing is fair. If you stay in the area, this becomes a habit very quickly. We ate here every morning during the week and never felt the need to switch it up. That says everything. read more

Great morning coffee/breakfast joint with Latino flair. And, really appreciate and consistently order the egg whites with a huge American coffee (complimentary refills available). When calories (and my time) are not concerned, I splurge on the blueberry pancakes then relax by scrolling thru the morning headlines. I advise to check this boutique bakery out yourself for its hospitable on-site service or choose its extensive menu for "to-go" and include a lunchtime item to enjoy later in the day. read more

First, I have to praise the service, which was excellent. And second, the empanada. We went on a Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and there was only one couple there. 30 minutes later, it started to fill up, and the place is small, so I suggest you go early if you want to eat there! The decor is simple, but everything seemed very clean. One criticism is that the menu doesn't have any prices, just the food available. From the menu (without prices), we chose: - 2 lamb empanadas au Malbec $4.25 each (delicious, super juicy and well-seasoned) - Breakfast "Croque Madame" $13.99 (very tasty, generous portion) - American breakfast $10.99 (I've had better) - Pancakes $7.99 (2 huge pancakes). To take home for my daughter, I chose: - chicken empanada $3.99 - Mini pastry "Brownie" $5.99 (she really liked them). I intend to go back to try the Bife Parmigiana that they have for lunch! But they need to put a price on the dishes on that menu. read more

All I can say is WOW! This Argentinian bakery and bistro is a small and locally owned spot I visited in SoFlo. It is now my new go-to for breakfast! We had: café con leche nutella cream latte croque madame french toast dulce de leche y pastelera factura membrillo y pastelera factura Service was fantastic even though they were PACKED! The café con leche was on point. The croque madame was the stuff dreams are made of! The french toast was thick and delicate and AMAZING! The facturas (Argentinian pastries) were the perfect, sweet ending to an absolutely delicious start to the day! I am used to guava and cheese cuban pastries but the membrillo and pastelera (quince and cream) was heavenly! On my next visit, I will have to try their migas sandwich, a burger, or a pizza! read more

Absolutely love this place and I am shocked I have not hear about it until recently. I stopped by here to pick up some pastries and I am so glad I did! upon walking in, this location is very small with only a handful of tables, all of which had people at them. I liked that because it told me that this place was going to be good if it was this busy at eight in the morning! The lady working the register asked me what I wanted, without stopping with her smile. I told he I wanted a few pastries and looked over what they had. Everything was very fresh and behind a window so I knew they weren't sitting out in the open! I ordered handful of different ones, paid and left. The pricing was wonderful with half dozen little things being about $8.50. My favorite facturas that I ordered were the dulce du leche and guava pastries. The dulce was very sweet without being overkill and the dough it was one was light and flakey! I do wish it was a little less of a chew to it with one of the other guava pastries I had, but overall, very tasty! I also had one of the cheese empanadas and while it was very good, it was a little too strong in terms of the cheese flavor and I do wish there was a little more filling in it, it seemed that most of it may have leaked out while being cooked but not that big of a deal. A nice place, great prices and friendly staff! I will be back in the future again to try more of their breakfast food and other items they offer here! read more

Absolutely delicious ! I haven't had a tasteful and properly made Milanesa / Napolitano steak in years. I went to my multiple places in Miami and Broward and have always been let down. This place has nailed it!! The seasoning, amount of breading and quality of cheese, tomato and what I believe is ham was perfect. Will def recommend and return. I finished off my meal with a pistachio croissant, only being able to finish half of each of course. Also, perfectly made. read more

1000% recommend. I have too many words. Order everything. Empanadas baked fresh daily. Coffee made with love. Salads, breakfast sandwiches. Love the service. We talk as if we're friends meeting again each time. My daughter loves the chicken empanadas. If you try them you must get the EmpaMessi empanada it is soooooooo tasty. I've ordered multiple at a time lol. One for now one for later. The chicken salad with balasmic glaze I ate every bite over lunch with a friend of mine. I've been with friends, solo and with my family and it's consistently good. I gatekeep yes I know but this place deserves the recognition. And they also are on TooGoodToGo app, which I love. read more

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for a quick bite to eat. We saw that it had good reviews so we wanted to give it a try. This is a small restaurant/bakery that offers a variety of Argentinian food. We mainly wanted to try their empanadas as we were in a hurry. They have a lot to try but only saw a handful of them in the display. Food: we decided to go with the beef and Messi empanada. The beef had good flavor and we enjoyed the dough of the empanada, it was both doughy and flaky. I will say that I wished we would have taken up the lady's offer to had waited 5-6 minutes for them to make them fresh as the ones that were in the display tasted like it had been there since the morning but that's on me. The Messi empanada was nothing to rave about, it just wasn't our cup of tea. They gave us a homemade pesto and chimichurri sauce which really elevated the empanadas so that definitely helped. It's a good price point at $4 per empanada since a lot other places charge $5 or more. The service was great as well, the lady at the counter was helpful and patient. read more

This was absolutely best random place we have found in a long time. Wife and myself have wanted to grab some food before going to IKEA. We found this place in the plaza next to it. Looked friendly and inviting. Soon as we walked in the aroma in the air was mouth watering. One glance over to the fresh Argentinian empanadas and I was sold. We took the seat next to the front window. We ordered caffe canleche and expresso. Followed by French toast, Spacy beef and Lamb Melbac empanadas and Ham and Cheese croissant. The food we received was absolutely stunning in flavor. It was well executed without any part overwhelming the flavors. So simple yet so perfect. We have enjoyed every bite we took To top it off we ordered Tiramisu as well, and what a treat. It was fresh and not overly sweet. Definitely place to come back and try more of they menu. Definitely recommend! read more

Went back this morning with a friend for breakfast. The server was not energetic but very pleasant. We ordered scrambled eggs, blueberry pancakes, spicy empanadas and Italian Expresso. The food took twenty minutes in their small kitchen but was hot and fresh. The pancakes were big and fluffy. Well I love empanadas and this one was exactly how I enjoy them - crispy crust and spicy meat. Excellent prices on the food and coffee. The bathroom was very clean, and included a velvet chair? read more

Clean, polite, excellent food. A variety of Argentine empanadas. Delicious desserts.

I'm a Sunrise resident who usually go to Fort Lauderdale and other places for brunch or dinner. But, this time I decided to give Vita Nostra a try. So, I took my husband and my son for Brunch. We had the usual...eggs, bacon, home made potatoes, French toast etc. Most of their brunch dishes come with coffee and 8oz orange juice (freshly squeezed). I can tell you that it exceeded my expectations. The meals were really good, savory and quantity was perfect. I have a thing about eggs. Can't stand pre mixed or box egg mixtures. Here, you get freshly cracked open eggs. Just like I do them at home. This is my favorite part. Vita Nostra is family run... so the attention is more personal. The place is very cozy and charming. If you haven't given them a try... please do. read more

Only came in to pick up some Argentinian pastries to go. The dulce de leche in both of the desserts I picked up was yummy. I picked up a coconut dulce de leche bar ( a tarta de coco) and a rogel. Both were delicious when paired with a cafecito when enjoyed at home. Spot seems like a small mom&pops, and it was clean and cute in decor. read more

Lovely cafe. Went for take out lunch of empanadas and their delicious desserts but unfortunately they had run out of most of the empanadas so we ended up just getting the 4 they had. We had to go to another store to get the remaining needed. I understand totally running out since their food is so yummy and there was quite a crowd but I was still sad I had to go elsewhere where the empas are not as yummy. read more

WOW! I am not a big reviewer but I couldn't even leave the restaurant without writing this. (FYI: I was not asked to review) This place has a cute quaint little vibe... but the food... INCREDIBLE! The lady at the register was so helpful and explained everything to us and we followed a few of her recommendations and all of it was amazing. The breakfast croissant had a great flavor and quality ingredients. We tried the empamessi empanada, delish! The cafe con leche was the best I've had in awhile, but the star of the show was the dulce de leche cake!!!! OMG!!!!! I'm not even really a fan of it but my friend wanted to try it. It was light and not too sweet, just perfection! We will be back! read more

We found this little place on our overnight stay at Fort lauderdale ( Sunrise) Oh my Gosh,,,what a wonderful bakery and restaurant. The Lady in charge Paula P. was so nice , knowledge and attentive. we tried the empanadas and they were so good, the dough and meat flavor are unique from Argentina , facturas (argentinean pastries ) will melt in our mouths , the coffe w/ hot milk is the best . We were so impressed that we ordered more empanadas and facturitas to take with us to DCA ( there are not good Argentinean restaurants ) We recomended the lady in the kitchen to open another VITA NOSTRA in DCA. definitely on our next vacation to FLL we will come back and visit this excellent little place . read more
