CasaDonna
318 Arizona St, Hollywood, FL
Crema's Take
“Tucked away on a Hollywood side street, CasaDonna is a tiny, intimate breakfast café where Donna herself orchestrates an genuinely magical experience—think three cozy tables, unhurried mornings, and the kind of warmth that turns first-time visitors into instant friends. The specialty here isn't just the thoughtfully made coffee and beautiful food, but the soul of the place, where you're as likely to be greeted with affection by the house pet as you are to strike up a real conversation with Donna and her son. This is the rare spot where people return the very next day because they can't stay away.”

Casa Donna is an absolutely incredible little breakfast café. Donna, the heart and soul behind it, is truly amazing. The atmosphere is simply enchanting—this cozy spot will make you feel right at home. The service is outstanding, and you’ll be filled with positive energy as Donna shares tips on how to spend your day. You’ll start your morning with delightful conversations and the possibility of meeting other wonderful people. Donna herself is a warm, kind woman with a soothing, radiant energy—and above all, the food and drinks are simply delicious.
What a wonderful little food spot. And what wonderful people Donna and her son are. Don't get your hopes up, I don't want you to go to this place. At least not when I'm around. There are three tables that seat about six people. Maybe seven maybe nine, but you're really rubbing elbows with everyone. I've posted the menu and will post them again. Nice little breakfast menu. I recommend the breakfast sandwich. Two eggs sausage. They give double what I expect for sausage and on a a brioche, bagel or one other thing. Donna and her husband have owned a place for 27 some odd years. Our husband passed away a little over a year ago. Meanwhile, the Hollywood Beach hotel and suites which is right next door asked her to get involved with parking. They use the park mobile app and you need to use the Park mobile app plug in the numbers and you can park there. Then they asked if she could open a coffee shop and Dennis you got to listen to her. Explain it indicated that. Heck, if I blew coffee I might as well have a bakery and sell bake stuff. And so she was doing breakfast, then she has a friend who is the a true restaurant tour in those menus and he worked at a lunch menu for. So if you are in the area going to the beach, give her a call or stop by and get a sandwich to bring with you. So I really don't want you to go here, particularly if I'm in the area. I will post those dates and times so I can have Casadona all to myself and my wife. We are leaving the area today flying out of fort Lauderdale. It's Friday the 13th. 2026. It's likely we won't be back in a year so flood the place but then don't come beginning of February next year. 2027. Truly wonderful experience and some very nice people.
Food was great and looked very nice too.
Probably our best stop this whole vacation. We were just walking down a cut through street, saw the sign, looked it up and made sure we came back the following day. Loved our interaction with Donna personally, her concept, the food, the Vietnamese coffee and her location just tops it off 👏🏼 it's a great spot for quick coffee, light refreshments, full meals or even a night stay (has a bed and breakfast as well) Her and her son were welcoming, informative on the area and the avocado toast was so fresh and delicious. Make sure to find her, and Bentley the dog 😍 when you're here in Hollywood - you won't regret it!
WE LIVED OUR VISIT TO CASADONNA!!! Donna is amazing!!! We made instant friends with the Lion of the House who greeted us with so much love and covered me in kisses!!! And then we had a couple coffees, what I can only describe as a deconstructed donut muffin in a bowl with a drizzle of icing. Oh. Em. Gee. I wish we ate more sugar cuz I would have loved to try all the goodies! As it was we stayed way longer than planned because we enjoyed talking to Donna so much! Ask her about her travels! She’s been everywhere! There are steps up to her cute patio so it’s not quite accessible but I have zero doubt that if you rolled up and hollered, she’d take good care of you on the sidewalk! She’s so kind! We hope to have time to stop by on our way back up to FTL tomorrow actually. I’ve never been to another coffee shop anywhere in the world where the greeter sat on my lap while I enjoyed my goodies and had a visit with the owner! ❤️ Go see Donna!
