BREW Urban Cafe Next Door

Top choice in Fort Lauderdale


Despite its unwieldy name, Brew is the coolest thing going in Fort Lauderdale: a kick-ass cafe located in a weird, semi-abandoned studio space filled with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. It looks like a British lord's library that got lost in an '80s warehouse party. It feels like you're heading to nowhere, but it's worth it. Saturday brunch even has bottomless mimosas!
