Emily's Garden
327 SW 2nd St, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Crema's Take
“Emily's Garden is a charming Fort Lauderdale spot that feels like a well-kept secret near the Broward Center, where thoughtfully designed outdoor seating and eclectic mismatched chairs create an inviting atmosphere perfect for lingering over coffee and conversation. The kitchen takes real care with fresh, well-seasoned food and generous portions, while the team—like standout server Yamila—brings genuine warmth and enthusiasm to every visit, making it equally beloved by families starting their morning and groups meeting for leisurely brunch. It's the kind of place where every detail, from the location steps away from the water to the attention paid to each dish, shows that someone genuinely cares about the experience.”

Such a cool little place near the Broward Center. Great outdoor setup that has a great design for everyone. The food was really good and the service was good too, especially on such a busy day. Valentine's Day! Our server, Angela was great and Claudia, GM was delightful. We will definitely be back
Great experience overall. The food was fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. Portions were generous and filling without feeling heavy. The service was fast, friendly, and professional, even during busy hours. The place has a nice, relaxed vibe that makes you want to sit and enjoy your meal. Prices are fair for the quality you’re getting. Definitely a solid spot and I’d come back again without hesitation.
A little hidden gem. Great food ,and atmosphere, plus the service was excellent. My waitress (Yamila)was exceptional from the very start great enthusiastic tone and smile upon greeting me made me feel I was about to have a great afternoon lunch experience. ( Yamila ) took special attention to detail in explaining the food items on the menu with the different options available. As an example I asked for olive oil and pepper (Yamila) offered the option of them combined but also added that would bring extra pepper in case i needed more. That special attention to detail lead me to feel that I was in a very good place. From the quality of the food, Atmosphere, great service (Yamila)I was very impressed with this place and I would definitely return again and again. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to have a great lunch in a very quaint atmosphere with amazing service ***** !!! 😊😋👍🏻👍🏻
The ambience was supper. A nice touch, not 2 tables have same chairs, location is just a few minutes from the water or theater . Great place for all ages!! The pizza done just right, better than Anthonys!! The Dough tasted home made. The salad simple yet elaborate. Davis a great manager. Returned the following day to try the sister store pummarole. Pleasant surprise as well review coming soon.
Our group recently enjoyed breakfast at Emily’s Garden, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—every plate at the table looked just as good as it tasted. The fresh squeezed orange juice and expertly crafted coffees were delightful. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a group gathering. The space felt bright and relaxed, with just the right balance of cozy and lively. It was easy to talk, enjoy our meal, and feel comfortable without ever feeling rushed. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, friendly, and patient with our group, making sure everyone had what they needed. Special requests were met with a smile and the entire team made us feel genuinely welcome. Overall, Emily’s Garden delivered a wonderful group breakfast experience, and we would happily return. Many thanks to Claudia and Davis for a truly enjoyable dining experience.
