Gran Forno Bakery

I had high expectations, but it didn’t quite live up to them. The bakery has a nice atmosphere and a good selection of pastries, sandwiches, and desserts, but the food was underwhelming. The bread was hard, and it wasn’t even warmed up before being served, which made the sandwich much less enjoyable. It’s a decent spot if you’re in the area, but based on my experience, there are better bakeries and cafés in Fort Lauderdale.

Gran Forno Bakery on Las Olas Boulevard is an absolute gem. A cozy and charming spot that takes you straight to Italy the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the coffee is excellent, and the selection of fresh baked breads, pastries, focaccias and sandwiches is impressive. Everything is made on site and you can tell. The Italian bakery and kitchen options are tempting at every turn. Whether you stop in for a quick espresso or linger over a sandwich and a pastry, this place delivers a little escape to Europe right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Highly recommended.

The Gran Forno was the perfect spot to grab something sweet and the best coffee I have had in years. My wife and I were overwhelmed with the deliciousness that was on display at this bakery. The pistachio in their pastries was so on spot that, it could have competed with a 5 star restaurants. The coffee had such a true taste of coffee that placing sugar in that cup would have been a travesty. Smoother than any cup of coffee I've ever had here in Florida. The service for a place so busy was excellent. Nicholas took care of us well and even made us laugh. Great people work at this place and it is worth the stop. Especially if you were like us and had a long ride ahead. When in fort lauderdale, don't miss it this stop. Definitely, don't miss it. Even took extras for our drive back to the west coast that were almost halfway done before we got home. Looking forward.\nTo returning to Gran Forno and trying the rest of their pastries😋 It was so good that my wife had to use the croissant to make a call and tell everyone else how great this place was.🤣🤣🤣

What a wonderful bakery. There are many beautiful pastries to choose from and also all types of sandwiches. My latte was very good. They squeeze oranges to make fresh juice right in front of you, so I got a juice as well.There is both outside and indoor seating.

The bakery serves Julius Meinl coffee which is Austria's best coffee. The pastries, however taste very commercial and tge server does not properly know the ingredients of tge product. He assured me that the tangerine pastry has custard and not almond paste. It actually had a very strong taste of artificial almond extract. The bakery has some inside as well as patio seating. All 3 pastries were very average and disappointing
