“ I had a really amazing time at this place. Everything was on point: food, service and atmosphere. Music was good too, and staff was very attentive and handled multiple languages. I had a professional picture of my friends thanks to Sebastian who took one for us, truly a great experience at the Front Porch Cafe. The waitresses were very kind and beautiful. ”
“ Love the ceviche, so fresh and delicious! Best one I’ve had in a while and I’ve been around! Drinks were great and the photographer Nancy was great as well! As you can tell we ate it up already ”
“ Great Vibe at Fronch Porch Cafe I recently visited Front Porch Cafe on a Saturday and had a pretty good experience, earning it a solid 4-star rating. Located right in the heart of Ocean Drive, the ambiance is fantastic. It's a lively spot with a cool vibe, perfect for soaking in the South Beach atmosphere. We went during happy hour and enjoyed it. I ordered a margarita for him, and a Corona beer for me, along with some great appetizers. The food was good, and the prices were fair, which is always a plus in this area. Inside, there's a bar, and they even have a live DJ at night, which adds to the fun energy of the place. The only area where they fell short was the service. The staff wasn't very proactive in checking on us, offering refills without being asked, or making menu suggestions. With a little more attentiveness, this place could easily be a 5-star spot! Overall, if you're looking for a great location, good food, fair prices, and a lively atmosphere on Ocean Drive, Front Porch Cafe is definitely worth a visit! ”
“ The food is pretty good here. We came for breakfast and both enjoyed our meals. My husband had the FP Benny and I had the French toast combo with eggs, bacon, and potatoes. The food came relatively quickly and was prepared well. The service from Maria was good. She was attentive and made sure we had what we needed. That said, the hostess was not overtly rude but wasn't friendly either. When we approached the hostess stand, we weren't acknowledged until the server acknowledged us. The hostess took us to our table but there seems to be a level of unconscious bias as her greetings were vastly different for darker skinned guests. We watched as she greeted others, even fair skinned individuals that were passing by, warmly and with smiles. I want to believe that this is unintentional but bringing up for awareness so that we may all be more cognizant of our actions. ”
“ Food and service were AMAZING! We were visiting from our of town and read the reviews. This place did NOT disappoint!! The pancakes were delicious, the yogurt was so thick but amazing and the veggie Omelette was incredibly fresh!!! ”
