St. Bart's Coffee Company

On the beachfront corner of SE 5 Street and A1A, just south of the touristy stretch of beach at Las Olas, lies St. Bart's Coffee Co.'s flagship quiet cafe. (There's another outpost a few blocks south.) St Bart's opened 17 years ago and draws a strong mix of locals and tourists dishing on hearty breakfasts and light cafe lunch options. The coffee is always fresh, and there are plenty of sidewalk tables, ocean view included, where you can eat, check your e-mail, and soak up the sun's rays, not to mention gaze at bikini-clad passersby and break for spontaneous dips in the Atlantic Ocean. Did we mention the view is amazing? It is. Keep an eye out for fire fighters; their fire house is around the corner from the cafe.
