8. BREW Urban Cafe
No list of Fort Lauderdale’s best coffee shops would be complete without BREW, which some might say is the ultimate spot for freelancers and entrepreneurs to get work done. We were sad to see BREW close its downtown Fort Lauderdale location, but the new location that opened in FATVillage at Next Door at C&I Studios – complete with a vintage library – more than made up for it. Enjoy a specialty espresso drink paired with a pastry.
BREW Next Door at C&I
Hours: Monday to Sunday: 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
537 NW 1st Ave., Fort Lauderdale
BREW Victoria Park
