My family and I are long time loyal customers of Crocante located at The Walk in Coral Springs. Unfortunately we're constantly late starters so we usually miss out on a lot of goodies that are sold out but managed to make it there for an actual breakfast this weekend! My mom raves about the eggs benedict so my partner and I both got it - one with Canadian bacon and one with smoked salmon. My only complaint is that the menu did not specify that the salmon was an up charge - but the extra $1 was well worth it! The fruit salad was delicious, sweet, ripe, and fresh, both eggs benedict had eggs

After passing the bakery so many times, it was time to finally try it. The almond croissant was $4.50. Although it's very good, I don't know if it is worth that price point.

Short staff issues can account for extremely slow service but does not give an excuse for rude!!

We had a lovely brunch here sitting outside enjoying nicely prepared food, the sun and a very cool breeze. This Venezuelan and Argentine bakery offers delicious pastries, as well as flaky, buttery croissant sandwiches, several types of empanadas (cheese, beef with raisins, cheese & spinach, etc), and a variety of specialty coffees. You order inside from a vast menu, and the ladies bring it out to your table. I did notice a few tables indoors, but we prefer dining al fresco. The mousse served in its own chocolate cup was both creative and heavenly! Service was friendly and accommodating, the place

Stopped by this little cafe for breakfast. It's a small bakery tucked away in a corner of a shopping mall. The cafe seemed busy. There is lots of outdoor seating. Indoor, it's a bit small with a line that is out the door. Seating indoors too. They have a variety of pastries, desserts, and sandwiches.

I'm rating this a four star as we did experience an issue with our order. We first ordered kids pancakes and eggs along with omelet, cafe con leche, cortadito, French toast with blueberries (blueberries are extra charge of $2) and egg, avocado pita. Total was $31. When our food came

Don’t get me wrong the bakery is amazing but when it comes to service they sure lack in this area I waited 20min in a table that I had to seat myself.

It's OK nothing to brag about this place. Nothing stood out except for the tiniest, greasiest and expensive tequeños. Coffee was just ok. One of the bottled waters, Dasani, the water smelled and tasted like old cardboard, really weird since it's supposed to be odorless, colorless and tasteless.
Cheese and ham cachitos were bland as well.

I called today "Giving Tuesday" 11/30/2021 to speak w/ a Mgr. & see if (ongoing Saga) I could pickup my Thanksgiving order that I paid for after ordering on Express link but which I was not allowed to have on TGiving ... and asked whether I could pickup the Empanada tomorrow.

She (a Mgr.) said " I think we gave you a REFUND ... hold on." No apology. She came back on the line and ASKED ME "did you check your [bank) account?" At no time would She apologize for the restaurant. Mind you On TGiving I was TOLD "we don't have a ticket for you."

I've been ordering from this place through delivery for awhile and this was the first time visiting the actual restaurant. Hard to say if this is the norm but we ordered coffee and two pastries (almond croissant and a feta, spinach type strudel). We sat outside and much to our liking the coffes came out at a perfect pace. My Latte was good but not that hot and not that good to rave about it. HOWEVER then we waited and waited and waited and waited some more... needless to say our coffees were done and after a total of probably 25 minutes the food came. The food items was AMAZING but the wait

I've been going to Crocante in the walk of Coral Springs for a little over a year, spending a pretty good amount of money monthly. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be back, although I love the food, the service is uninviting these days. Yes, there is a slight language barrier but most of the ladies are rude all on their own. There's really only one nice lady. It's a shame because I've heard this from multiple friends of mine, its also upsetting they've yelled at their customers in the past.

The other day I went in to get some food in the late morning and I noticed

One of Coral Springs' best for lunch. Used to be kind of a secret spot. Now can be quite busy. Excellent homemade soups, fresh baked breads for sandwiches, and freshly baked pastries! None better in the Springs.

My wife and I were in town to visit my mom, and were eager to find a good breakfast place that offered something different. Skimmed the reviews on Yelp and decided to try the Crocante bakery/cafe. Wow, we were very impressed!
My wife ordered a parfait of yogurt, fruit, & granola, which she declared was delicious. I opted for a breakfast pita sandwich, and it was wonderful: Inside the pita bread was an omelet with ham, bacon, mild cheese, diced onions, and avocado -- and they added some fresh spinach at my request. The pita sandwich was served hot and came sliced into four triangular pieces

This place is incredible! They have so many great options, anyone can find something they'd like. It's an obvious go-to for coffee and a pastry but you MUST try the salads soups and sandwiches too! One of the best lunches I've had in a while. Homemade soup feels so homey and nice, even in the summer

I enjoyed seeing the stream of pastries as I walked in and as I looked around it was a pretty full house. Nonetheless I placed my order within minutes and had assistance deciding on my drink but the hazelnut frappe was perfect. As was my french toast and whipped cream, just wish they gave me more whipped cream and that strawberries were sweeter or they make it into a compote. But the presentation was beautiful and precise I love attention to detail. I’ll be back.

I used to love coming here but with time the customer has gotten worse and the prices are getting steep. I went with a friend and we hade very similar orders 5 minutes apart. She got hers within 15 minutes and mine never showed up. So after an hour wait and my friend done with hers, I decided to get my money back and got no apology, just a "we are very busy" . I counted 6 staff members that's not being understaffed that's being uncaring. NEVER AGAIN

European style breakfast and atmosphere without leaving your backyard. Nice place with a variety of breakfast menu and plenty of dessert options. Had the egg benedict, it was cooked to perfection with the eggs runny over the smoked salmon.
Egg Benedict, consisting of two halves of an english muffin, each topped with smoked salmon a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce.

Phenomenal!!! My best friend introduced me to this place and I'm absolutely in love! Huge fan of the Media Luna croissant sandwiches with ham and cheese, slightly sweet oooo so soft and fresh! Best beef &olive empanadas I could eat a million of these. Great spacious outdoor seating and the staff is so sweet and organized! Highly recommend this cafe.

This little place had sooo many options ! I was floored by their selection of sweets and food options. Personally I am gluten free and somehow did not even inquire if they had a gluten free option ( sorry ladies and gents reading this!) but I did pick up some sweets for the rest of the household ;). Being it's right next to Trader Joe's, it's a nice treat. Anyway, I got some cachitos ( these are usually filled with ham and cheese ), some chocolate croissants and a chocolate cake. Although I did not try the cachitos, I did try the rest of the stuff a tiny bit and it was delicious

I really enjoy this place, I stop in for breakfast at least once a week. It is a mix of Venezuelan/ Argentinian. The place is clean, they have a lot of outdoor seating options. The staff is very friendly and will go out of their way to help you and accommodate you.

All of their omelets come with a side of bread (the multigrain is out of this world), mixed fruit and a coffee for 11.50. I usually order the tex-mex omelet. It contains bacon, cheddar cheese, onions, green peppers and pico de gallo. It taste great but I wish it had an extra egg and less bacon. Their empanadas are delicious too.

So it's first time here, Saturday morning, and place is decorated nicely with good outdoor seating. We were happy to have our first breakfast after a long work week, however this wasn't what we expected.

Omelette special with coffee, croissant, and salad was what we got and split between us two. It was a good omlete although they didn't have a menu of the ingredients, so we can know our 4 options. That was kinda weird and slowed the process down, then we were had an upcharge for one of them that they added in, but didn't discuss the upcharge before paying. Kinda disappointing

People bring this to my office all of the time and I've never been inside so I stopped in. Gorgeous is all that I can say. It is very clean and the staff is very friendly. The fruit tarts in my photograph are certainly on my things to buy when I need something for dessert.

Update 10/16 bought a large tiramisu and it wasn't that great. The mascarpone was authentic but I do believe that the cake was previously frozen as it had icy spots inside the center layer and was so watery and saturated, not in a good way. If you are buying a $37 cake you don't expect that. It had fine flavor

We walked over to this bakery and cafe after lunch as we'd seen it while parking the car.

We weren't sure what ethnicity it was and I've been seeking a certain (Italian) pie/cake called torta della nonna. This place is a combo of Venezuelan and Argentinian,but it could not have been more welcoming.

Everyone was patient with all my questions regarding the pastries in the case, and we got excellent service -- especially since we didn't spend much money there.

In addition to pastries, they have coffees, sandwiches, empanadas, etc. Lots of food choices. But I know a friend who

Nice cafe with lots of desserts. While my family perused Barnes and Noble, I strolled down to this cute cafe.

You order at counter and they deliver to your table. I ordered a cafe con leche and cheesecake flan. I thought the cashier was going to make my coffee and grab the dessert in the case. Nope. Everything is done in the back. It took a few minutes to receive my order.

I sat at a interior window and people watched. When my cafe con leche arrived, I took a sip and realized it was so sweet. Had to look for sugar to add. However, the cheesecake flan was awesome. Instead of a blend, it was stacked
