Ella Cafe

Ella’s is an oasis in Broward County. Only a few blocks from the Westfield Mall, on Broward Boulevard, it is located in a small shopping center adjacent to Toi Spa. Excellent coffee with a plethora of flavors to add. Today we enjoyed tiramisu and coconut chocolate iced coffees. Fresh bakery items. All Covid protocols in place—I look forward to the return of frosted glasses, rather than plastic, and their full lunch menu of flatbreads, salads, and sandwiches. This cafe reminds me of the cozy coffee shops in New England with their book areas, hip music, and super upbeat servers. Check it out.

Ella Cafe is an amazingly cozy coffee house for the hipster in you. If you're looking for some delicious coffee, scrumptious sides, and efficient (but busy) service, consider this venue.

As you enter you'll instantly notice the quaint yet bold atmosphere. I arrived around noon so naturally it was very busy but to be honest this seems like the kinda place that would be busy no matter the time of day. You can expect a few people in line ahead of you.

The menu is more visuals and less text, with an explanation of various coffees sketched in chalk. As you approach the register you can see the edibles behind the counter, which include muffins, cookies, croissants, etc. Don't see something you like? Try describing it to the cashier and they'll do their best to recommend something. They also explain all available additives such sugar, creme, milk, flavors etc. Prices are reasonable, I ordered coffee and two food items for about $13. If you're dining in house, they'll give you number to place on your table.

I ended up getting Cafe Con Leche, a plain crossaint and a chocolate muffin marshmallow hybrid. The food arrived within a few minutes. Everything is served on their own wooden cutting board, instead of the traditional plate. This makes for a very stylish presentation however an uncivilized eater like myself will easily make a mess with finger foods. For the record, they did provide utensils and I did use them (kinda). The food was great, items arrived warm and fresh. The coffee took longer to arrive and was served in a glass instead of the usual ceramic mug. The Cafe Con Leche was served hot but not steaming and was accompanied by a small spoon and heart shaped cookie. The coffee was less sweet than others I've had but still good.

Servers are quick to ask and clear away any platters from your table. Seating arrangements consist of many small tables scattered across the room, a lounge area with couches near the back and a few tables outside. This place is great for dining solo or with a few friends but may be problematic for larger groups. It may be tough to study here since it's very lively, loud and not a lot of room on the tables.

Overall this is a nice option for coffee, snacks and conversation. If you're a coffee lover, give this one a try.

Took my daughter, her best friend, and boyfriend here for a pre birthday breakfast. This establishment is so cute and homey: the decor is beautiful and the ladies behind the counter were wonderful. They explain the menu, which is actually displayed at the counter ( have to see to understand concept) and the coffee variety and flavors are plentiful. I had a cappuccino with amaretto flavor and it was spot on. The breakfast sandwiches are made fresh to order, can be customized, and the bread is soft and fresh. I had the Greek salad which was very good. This is a go to coffee shop. Way better than Starbucks.

I was immediately warmly greeted when I entered. I ordered the eggnog latte and a pear and brie breakfast sandwich with raspberry jam and arugula. Everything was delicious! Loved the vibe in here too. If you're looking for an upgraded coffee house experience this is it.

Ella Cafe's atmosphere was excellent, even though the average coffee cap here is twice or more expensive. The staff was amiable. Good luck

I came here on a Saturday morning so it was very busy. They have good coffee and pastries. Even though it was busy I was able to find a seat with no problem.

The snacks are really good as are the beverages. The staff is also very friendly. It can be kinda hard to order since there's not really a written menu. Sometimes it's a little hard to study or carry on a conversation because the music can be a little loud but at least the song selection is good.

Cute inside. Went to work inside but it was really really loud. I would be going everyday if it wasn’t for the horrendous music. Other than that, it remains cute and staff is friendly.

Never had French toast coffee definitely have added it to my top five flavors ,for it being my first time it was such a delight the staff is friendly and informative good vibes

Definitely a 5-star cafe. It's a hidden gem in Plantation. Great atmosphere, cozy, pleasant music in the background. the only down side is that I a bit small and orders take a little longer than average. However this is because things are made in the spot, resh. Worth the wait.

The service is great. Super friendly staff.
