This post is a little late, but the breakfast memories are still fresh! Back in July, me and my man were driving through Fort Lauderdale when hunger hit—and we spotted Michael’s Café Bistro. It was a last-minute decision, but definitely a good one.
The place is cute and cozy, with a relaxed vibe that makes you feel right at home. We walked in, got seated quickly, and the service was lovely—friendly, attentive, and fast. ✨
I went with my go-to breakfast: a Western omelette with cheese and home fries. Classic, comforting, and cooked just right. The omelette was fluffy and flavorful, and the home fries had that perfect golden crisp. My man was happy, I was happy—no complaints here!
It’s not a flashy spot, but it’s got heart. Great service, good food, and a cozy atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy the moment. If you’re in the area and craving a solid breakfast with friendly vibes, Michael’s Café Bistro is worth the stop. ☕ ️

Tiny little place. All the tables weren’t even filled. One server. Poor service, slow service. And cold food. I had to get up several times. You couldn’t get coffee refills. They were out of a orange juice Sunday morning, out of a bloody Mary mix Sunday morning and this was at 1 o’clock lunchtime or brunch time. The food was good but between the cold food and the poor service and the tiny atmosphere there’s like no room to move. I wouldn’t suggest here unless youwant to order food to go.

Stopped in Sunday Noon, ordered Farmer’s Breakfast and Shrimp and Grits. I have had Shrimp and Grits in New Orleans and this was just as Good. I requested spicy and it had a bit of heat but not sweating hot. Just right for the Dish. Wife had Farmer’s, she said it was good, after I finished my dish, I tasted hers. I finished hers. I am picky about food, this was fresh, quick and delicious. STOP BY HERE AND ENJOY.

We pulled into port from our cruise, drove out of downtown & were looking for a good spot eat a “home cooked” style breakfast.
Although this place was a bit off our path, the reviews were good, so ventured in.
It has a cute little local feel, we were greeted by a kind smiling host.
The fresh orange juice was soooo good! But beware, it’s $6 a glass, it was worth it, but we probably wouldn’t have let all the kids order one, we spent $30 on oj The food came out and was also good. Take note that they do serve large portions- 2 of my kids could have shared an omelet plate and 2 kids can share a half stack of pancakes. I was careful to order a more appropriate size meal for myself with the french toast plate.
Overall we were very satisfied. Our ticket ended up being about $100 for 5 people, a little steep for a stop in breakfast, but we weren’t mad, the food was good, service was great and hey, we’re still on vacation!! Thanks Michael’s Cafe
(4stars on food, because my 8yr old said his pancakes were a little doughy)

This is a quaint mom and pop cafe. Ordered the eggs Benedict, loved the flavor of the hollandaise. My very first bite of biscuit was soggy so I did not have any more. I was not going to say anything as I had a wonderful experience but the waitress noticed and was very gracious. Jennifer was wonderful. The Belgian waffle was delicious, Nutella…. Nom nom nom. The coffee was hot and fresh. Crispy hashbrowns, just how I like. Inviting Christmas decor and music, inviting space.

So glad I found this place! Breakfast was DELICIOUS, and they have such a wide variety of things to eat. I couldn’t decide on just one thing to try so we ordered three! We loved all of them and can’t wait to come back to try something new. We will definitely be back SOON!

The food came out cold after waiting 45 minutes for it. To make matters worse there was a long hair under my toast. Sent it back and waited another 35 minutes for it to come out luke warm. The waiter practically threw it on the table knocking over my last sip of coffee.
The place is small and dirty as well.
There are too many better places to eat in Fort Lauderdale than to have to deal with so many negatives at this place.
