Great place to swing by and work if you like working remotely in coffee shops.... The coffee is great, the iced cortado was very foamy which is hard to achieve with an iced coffee beverage and in the hot South Florida summer it is a very nice and refreshing drink!The coffee shop is very welcoming, everyone inside is friendly and helps you find something tasty to drink if its your first time. This was my first time here and I found it to be a great coffee shop!Oh and there is a ton of seating options inside and outside! Making this a great spot to hangout with friends, have a meeting, or just grab a coffee and relax.
Amazing, intrepid and unique coffee shop of the future.As more coffee shops evolve, chains like Starbucks become pedantic and typical. Switch box is ATYPICAL...roasting its own beans, custom grinding to order much smaller and more valuable coffee beans. You pay more for coffee you have ground, but the other prices are more realistic than the goofy $6.99 coffee monstrosities at Sbucks.This is the REAL DEAL if you want extraordinarily well made brew. Starbucks doesn’t even compare.
Stopped in for a tea. The place was very clean and organized. Plenty of room to do work and relax. They have a little magazine and book area. Prices are average. The lady that helped me was really nice and not overtly friendly. They sell some coffee items and their own coffee. This is someplace I would check out on my down time or to get away from the Basics.
Nice to see some quality coffee in Oakland Park. Switchbox offers pour overs and good iced coffee. The place has seating and people work on their laptops. I wish they had more comfy seats. They also have food including pastries I will have to return before passing judgment on them. Staff were friendly
Best sandwiches in the city! I often daydream about these sandwiches and when Im not in the neighborhood Ill uber eats their sandwiches to fix my cravings (like I did today).Their Dutch crunch is so good and by far my favorite is the Sam Spade sandwich. The sandwich tastes fresh, their sauces are on point and the sandwiches dont fall apart or get soggy like Ikes or those other sandwiches... big fan.
Im sitting here before haircut and really enjoying the environment I got their nights row cold brew with an everything bagel lightly toasted with butter and its very delicious the environment is nice I love craft coffee shops theyre very unique if you enjoyed my comment please like it Google really likes that stuff
Okay, so I’m going to start this review off with ONE really BIG complaint ... that is, they are not closer to my house hehe. I’ve only been here once but I’m already obsessed ! I live 30 minutes away but I will literally drive to Fort Lauderdale just to come here. The atmosphere is great and that staff were amazing and so friendly, kind, helpful... everything you would want from a coffee shop. The coffee is Amazing! I had a nitro (which I had trouble drinking ... it was really good just hard on my sensitive stomach) and the staff was so kind that they switched it out for an almond milk latte at no extra charge ! WOW, just wow ... please, pretentious coffee shops with terrible $6 coffees take notes ;) . This is real customer service and what keeps people coming back. Last but most definitely NOT least, I was recommend a vegan pumpkin and it was the BEST I’ve ever had, vegan or not. I know you’re probably thinking “this chick must be having one hell of a day cause this review is just over the top”, but rest assured this day is like any other lol. I just can’t wait to come back... stop thinking about it and GO! You won’t be disappointed.
CONFIRMED CLOSED: Switch Box Cafe is no longer at this location. It is now Kith & Co. It was a fantastic shop with excellent customer service and vibe. If you’re looking for what you’d HOPE Switchbox would’ve provided, I guarantee you’ll be pleased with this place. They’re serving people with food, coffee, pastries and the like (during COVID with regulations in place) and the decor and vibes were excellent.I got an espresso and a latte (I don’t drink coffee often). They were great and I’d go again.
GREAT COFFEE! I had the cold brew and it was some of the best Ive had in the area. Maybe THE best. Switchbox has a great vibe and is a cool and upcoming area of Oakland Park. Bring your laptop and get some work done, or hangout and enjoy the amazing coffee. Cant go wrong! Highly recommend!
Im admittedly not a coffee drinker, but this place delivers regardless. Loved the Arnold Palmer and the quiche was excellent! Great texture and full of flavor and veggies. Everyone working was beyond friendly and made me feel like a regular even though it was my first visit. Love the feel of the cafe, with bar seating, an open layout, and warm decor, and eating outside adds freshness and warmth you cant get inside. I cant wait to try all the delicious looking pastries and snacks.
One of the only real coffee shops in this area. Excellent espresso drinks, baked goods, cute decor, friendly staff. All the reasons to come back. Well definitely see you next time we are in ft. Lauderdale
Switchbox is a great local coffee spot with an open air feel and a hip vibe. Plenty of unique and eclectic seating both indoors and outside to feed whatever kind of space your look g for I your coffee shop. Then theres the coffee which is an excellent selection of your various lattés and espresso that weve come to expect in the post Starbucks world. Oh and the baked goods are something to behold for sure. Overall a great experience in Oakland Park.
Pumpkin coffee. They had pumpkin coffee. Not pumpkin spice, pumpkin. It’s a great, quiet place to go have a cup of really good coffee and relax. There’s one guy that always remembers me when I walk in, wish I could remember his name, but he’s always working the front counter. I always recommend this place to my friends.
Best coffee in town! From the coffee itself to the entire staff to the owners and the atmosphere/decor. This place is a gem. Forget Starbucks, all fresh ingredients at Switchbox make such a difference. Highly recommended for your daily fix or even suited to handle your large event needs. They have supplied our entire headquarters with coffee at our annual budget meeting. Check them out! You won’t be disappointed! PS the iced mocha with coconut milk gets 10 stars. ⭐️!
Love this place! Its got the real coffee house vibe...the coffee is great, they have a good selection of food including vegan and gluten free selections, and the people are the nicest. Its a great place to work and to chill. Ive written the first draft of two novels here over the past year!
Was down visiting family, what better way then to stop by Switchbox for some amazing coffee! Tried their cold brew (brazil on tap this day) it was the smoothest most refreshing cold brew I have had in a while. No bitter after taste and no cream or sugar added. The lay out of the store was amazing and I love how the owner had taken their left over coffee bags that the green beans are shipped in and turned them into seat cushions! We will be back for sure!
Quint place to grab a coffee, bring your laptop, and just get away. Cozy atmosphere. Wifi. Cute decor. And of course, great coffee. Super fun place to come and just spend the morning (or afternoon).
Any time I can I drive to get coffee here. Their vanilla syrup taste like REAL vanilla, and not the other crappy artificial kind other places have. They always have delicious treats, and almost always haven gluten free and vegan options. The environment is great, and is an awesome place for a casual meeting, or even work space (they have a communal desk!)
Look no further for GOOD coffee!!! This gem not only offers some of the best made coffee but the environment and staff make it exceptional. Staff is also very well versed in their coffee selections, processing and origins of the beans. You will always be greeted with a smile! The vanilla latte is one of my absolute favorite menu items!
Awesome coffee spot with fresh brew and great cookies/cakes/pies!My wife and I frequent this spot and my local cycling club swings through here every Friday. Great place, the staff is always friendly and they let you sample before you buy in case youre not sure about which brew you want.Thanks as always guys and keep up the good work!
What a great coffee shop. Decor, layout. Its charming and trendy at the same time. Spacious with outside option too. Parking is easy and the area is on the up.... Lets hope its gets some supporting business to help it grow.Service can be ice cold.
The coffee is always great and the service even better. Got to meet one of the owners today. Becky, she is so sweet and helpful! I will definitely be back and support local business owners!
The switchbox is a great place to start a conversation with friends around great coffee and pastries. Highly recommend this place as it feels like a break from the fast pace of a Starbucks. With a industrial themed interior, Switchbox is a great place to just hang out or decompress over a great cup of coffee. Parking is a breeze and the staff is friendly. Would definitely come back.
An exceptional cup of coffee and good hash browns too. But a little on the pricy side.
This place was great! Sad to say this, but it is now CLOSED. For some reason Maps has not accepted my reporting of it being closed.
This place is one of the most unpretentious craft coffee places I have been to in Fort Lauderdale. The staff is super friendly, the food is great, and the cold brew coffee is strong and refreshing. They have a really open air design and you can watch the coffee process behind the bar which is always cool because you get to see where your food comes from. The space is laid back and is prime for working, chilling out, or meeting up with friends. They have outdoor seating available, and if the weather is nice I would definitely sit outside.
The finest coffee spot in the county! Their pour over coffee options are incredible, the espresso is fantastic, and the ambiance is relaxed. The Guatemalan and Peru roasts are splendid! I had mine brewed via clever dripper option but you can do a chemex and another type as well. Friendly folk who really care about their product. Well done.
Super cozy coffee shop. Service was awesome and really catered to my order. Only small and large sizes and I wish their large was bigger, but over all, really cute place with great coffee.
This place has a great vibe. It is the perfect place to work or meet friends and hang out. The coffee is priced well for the quality. I am continually impressed by the consistently good menu items. The GF Coffee Cake is to die for!
Love it, love it, love it. I bought coffee beans that were roasted the same day and I was blown away by the smell and taste, not to mention how nice the employees were. I found my new spot to buy beans and have a cold brew.
Great coffee. Great staff. Cool place to take a break from the South Florida Heat. Also, within walking distance of the Funky Buddha Brewery.
I was a regular customer and enjoyed the coffee at switchbox. They closed without explanation for a few months and then reopened under new management. I showed up this morning for the first time under the new management. I saw two people enter the store, Parked my car, and went for coffee.I read the sign, which said 8 am. Since I saw two plain clothes people enter and the door was open, I asked someone inside if they were open. He answered unintelligibly and rudely told me to read the sign.Definitely be management. Not your standard switchbox attitude. I wont be back. New management bought the business and brought a miserable person to greet customers. No thanks. Starbucks is always nice.
SwitchBox is one of a kind. The atmosphere, quality of coffee and customer service is outstanding. You be welcomed like family. I highly recommend you visit them. You wont be disappointed.
Very cool coffee shop thats serious about coffee. Great, friendly staff who are very knowledgeable and passionate about their coffee. Lots of seating and some big tables. We tried the cold brew flight and all samples were great and showed the various brewing methods available.
Great coffee, awesome atmosphere, nice staff. Good place to work, read a book, or hangout with friends. Just a little overpriced for coffees, unless you get the regular drip of the day.
Nice coffee shop with delicious quiche. A good ambience to chill and drink some coffee and read or play on your phone. Also there is a small outdoor area for when its nice out!
Very cool spot to get a cup of coffee. There is plenty of seating both in and outside. I ordered my standard cappuccino, which was perfect. If definitely come here again.
Im just sorry it took me so long to come here. The coffee was delicious, not over roasted at all. The vegan sweet treats are delicious too. Will definitely be back.
Everyone that works there is friendly and inviting. They take time to talk to you and explain things if you have any questions. Ive been three times, and the drip coffee has been delicious each time.The last time I had gone they were closed fixing something, but had free coffee outside for everyone to take.
Great roomy coffee house perfect for meetings. Great service and delicious!
Oh man, this is hands down the best coffee shop in the area! The staff is super kind and their coffee is just amazing. Also, their pastries are so good.If you have kids, they have a little section with toys for them.( I wish they had something for the kids to sit on to play with the toys, that way they are not sitting on the floor)
Stopped in, definitely need to come back when Im in the area. Excellent coffee and atmosphere.
Love the cozy atmosphere. Enjoy a cup of your fav beverage and relax for an hour or two. WiFi available. Or read paper or meet friends. I wanted something different. Check it out.
Went for the first time and had the Ethiopian prepared with hot water being poured over the grounds (don’t know the lingo) and MAN, what a cup of coffee. Don’t even think of spoilling it with sugar or cream. What a neat spot....
What a gem for craft coffee in Oakland Park! When traveling for work, I try to find the coffee artisans who know whats up and this husband and wife duo nailed it. The coffee is roasted on site and the flavors are amazing; both the nitro on tap and espresso drinks are smooth and delicious. The vibe is a perfect blend of Denver meets South Florida; custom wood bars with plenty of seating inside and out. If you know your coffee then get to know Switchbox on your next visit to OP.
Cool place to hang out. The staff is really nice. Book selection is great.
Very laid back and relaxing; great design, great service and a lovely outdoor seating area. Dogs allowed outside I didnt ask about inside.Highly recommended.
Delicious Coffee, awesome environment and Friebdly staff... This spot has become part of my morning routine.. Gotta have my Iced Vanilla Latte..
Awesome oakland park privately held large indoor outdoor pet friendly coffee shop. owner and staff are amazing.
We drive all the way from Pompano Beach to Ft. Lauderdale Switchbox in crazy traffic. Yes Yes Yes, Its that good. I always get a fresh brew, then buy beans to take home. The beans are always fresh roasted with the stamp on the bag. Dont miss out on this fabulous coffee and nice atmosphere.
They were offering a single drip variety, which was eerily similar to Dunkin Donuts, which is a weak flavor IMHO. I may give this place a second try in the hopes of getting better tasting coffee. The Afro-Cuban heavy music is not conducive to studying or relaxing talks over coffee. Not a top-level coffee experience.
Really Nice Atmosphere. Coffee is good, but food is a bit on the expensive side for it to be pre-made.
Its the anti-Starbucks. With a distinctive left coast vibe, Switchbox is both hipster and comfy at the same time. They have a fairly simple menu featuring house roasted drip and espresso paired with more unique items like cold brewed nitro coffee. Its like the love child of coffee and stout. They do have some nice locally sourced munchies and loose tea if thats more your thing. Oh yeah, refills on the drip coffee makes this non-hipster caffeine VERY happy.
Great coffee. Extremely high end coffee - for a true expert - but also for the layman. No more expensive than a Starbucks, but the quality is fantastic. The food is all baked goods, fresh and delicious. Free WiFi, clean bathrooms.
Such a great experience. Very knowledgeable staff, who gave great recommendations on which of their freshly roasted coffees I should take home. I loved their selection of toasts, I wish I could have tried more. I tasted the portabella and the caprese. I also enjoyed both a coffee and espresso, both were excellent. All this and their space is beautiful too! Definitely worth a visit.
Coffee is good, location excellent, parking easy peasy. Outdoor seating is unappealing and uncomfortable. I think they were going for the reclaimed wood idea, but it is horribly ugly and makes you not want to stay long. Food options are limited and bakery frequently stale.
Words cant describe how awesome this place is. The owners are amazing the staff us awesome. There are some people who love coffee and love there customers.
Great coffee shop to work at! Great chai. Wish it would stay open later than 6 PM
Cozy and welcoming staff is friendly the food is good ..thecoffee is delicious... location is inviting highly recommending
My favorite spot to grab coffee and meet with colleagues. Staff is always friendly, the coffee is always fantastic, the atmosphere and music are always on point.Keep up the good work!
Great locally roasted beans and awesome lattes! Every time I got to the Oakland Park area I stop by. Coffee lovers definitely check it out!
Best Coffee!!!Excellent service. Very nice and friendly staff!And place is adorable!!!Great job guys, thanks to you and people like you the city of Oakland Park is getting better every day!!!
Amazing coffee! The pastries and various sundries are also incredible. A little on the pricier side but the quality is top notch.
Quick trendy coffee house with a cool industrial vibe. They serve high quality coffee drinks, plus a few other select offerings (hot chocolate, kombucha, Etc).They also have a varied selection of sweet and savory small bites such as cookies pastries and empanadas. My selections from this category were delicious and high-quality.There is ample seating ranging from comfortable chairs two stools at a counter and outdoor seating as well. This seems like a good place to get together with friends for coffee, or just chill out and study or work.
Great place for craft coffee and small bites. Very nice ambiance and friendly staff. The coffee is superb quality.
Love this place. The quality of the coffee and the knowledge and ability of the baristas makes me feel like Im in the Pacific Northwest. They have great pastries including vegan and gluten free options (GF quiche!). I also appreciate how friendly they are to my 4 year old. She actually specifically asks to come here.
The decor is old style industrial, but very barebones. The coffee had a strange after taste reminiscent of it having been burned. The staff is uninterested and unhelpful. Not an experience to be repeated.
