Helena’s Coffee is a hidden gem in Plantation. I come here to work 3 times a week and the is coffee always fresh and the staff is amazing! Unlike other smaller cafes they have a great deal of food options and drinks to choose from. The place is always clean and the WiFi is awesome!
I love Helena's coffee. The place is absolutely beautiful, clean, organized and cozy. Even the restrooms are decorated pretty and super clean. Food is absolutely delicious and service is really fast. I've tried the cappuccino, chicken, beef & spinach empanadas, macaroons and pastries 😋😋😋 Today, I tried the Italian caprese veggie sandwich with fresh mozzarella, black olives, tomatoes, basil pesto in ciabatta bread and it was delectable and so tasty! I enjoy the atmosphere, so nice to see people putting their phones down, laughing, communicating and connecting. Whether you choose the lounge, inside tables or outside table/umbrellas, I assure you'll have a great, relaxing time and good food. Last plus, it's pet friendly in case you want to bring your furry friends. 100% recommended!!!!
The service and staff were polite and attentive. The cortadito was very good and so were the afajores. I got a miazena and a pistachio afajor; there pistachio was too sweet for my taste so I prefer the other, but both were good. I think I paid about 9 dollars for all that, so def affordable.
I ordered online and the coffee itself was good, but the pickup experience wasn’t ideal. After waiting about 10 minutes, I expected someone to bring it out, but when I asked, they mentioned it had been sitting in the fridge for me, so it was a bit melted by the time I got it. On the bright side, the croissant was excellent fresh and flaky. The café has really nice decor, though the space is a bit limited. Overall, I’d give Helena’s another try, but next time I’ll order in person instead of online.
First time at this adorable coffee spot. It has a very relaxed atmosphere to sit and have a quick bite to eat. My almond cappuccino was perfect. Mexican wrap was amazing. We will definitely be back! Oh & best part is they are pet friendly 🐾💕☕🦴
