Gran Forno Bakery
1235 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Crema's Take
“This Fort Lauderdale bakery is a genuine Italian-style forno where the coffee and pastries feel like they've traveled straight from Europe, with Julius Meinl Austrian beans pulling silky lattes alongside fresh-squeezed orange juice made right before your eyes. The display cases overflow with beautiful pastries and crusty breads that draw crowds especially at lunch, though the pastry quality is genuinely wonderful despite being made at volume. It's the kind of warm, family-friendly spot where you'll find yourself coming back for "just one more" coffee and discovering something new among the sandwiches and quiches tucked between the showstopping baked goods.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
