    ¡Café Delicioso y Ambiente Familiar en Hallandale Beach! ¡No puedo dejar de recomendar esta cafetería en Hallandale Beach! Fui con mis hijos y nos encantó a todos. Desde que entramos, el ambiente es súper acogedor y la decoración muy linda, ideal para sentirse a gusto. Mis pequeños se divirtieron muchísimo con los juegos de mesa que tienen disponibles, ¡lo cual es un puntazo para las mamás! Pedimos diferentes cosas y todo estaba riquísimo. El café es espectacular, con ese aroma que te invita a quedarte un rato más. Además, tienen una variedad de dulces y opciones saladas que son perfectas para cualquier antojo. Mis hijos devoraron unas galletas gigantes y yo disfruté de un desayuno delicioso. El personal es muy amable y atento, siempre con una sonrisa y dispuestos a ayudar. Se nota que les gusta lo que hacen. ¡Definitivamente un lugar para volver una y otra vez! Ideal para un brunch tranquilo, una tarde de juegos con los niños o simplemente para disfrutar de un buen café. ¡Ya quiero regresar!

    Really did enjoy this restaurant. I will give them 5 stars for the food and the staff. The menu was excellent with quite a large amount of options and an excellent specials list. Our waitress was wonderful, i just felt bad she was seriously overworked they could have used at least 2 more servers in the restaurant that night. I would recommend it, but expect to not have the quickest or most attentive service. (our waitress again was excellent considering the circumstance)
