Big Mike greeted us with a huge smile as we walked up. We sat outside. Everything is gluten-free and delicious!! We had pancakes, eggs, chicken sausage, turkey bacon, French pressed coffee and fresh juice (apple, ginger and orange). You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic menu. Dishes have interesting and original ingredients. The textures and flavors work great. I had the sloppy Q, an innovative quinoa burgers with caramelized onions and portabella mushrooms on a biscuit. The seasonal kombucha on draft was strawberry-basil and delicious. my kiddos don’t appreciate whole grain pancakes, though, so consider the waffles instead if your kids, like mine, are the froot loop-style foodies. The walls are covered with inspirational quotes that crack me up. “A smile is the best makeup any girl can wear.” 💀” The best thing in life aren’t things.”

Enjoyed lunch here twice. Great choices from a heathy menu and all gluten free. Our choices included delicious smoothies and juices, a Greek yoghurt with granola, banana and honey, Cinnamon infused pancakes with maple syrup and a wonderful salad. Friendly helpful service Close to the cruise port, water taxi and hotels and shops on SE 17th St. What a find !!!

Probably the best breakfast I've eaten out in a few years and definitely the best of my 2 week holiday. My wife is gluten free, I am not. However, you would not know the waffles were gluten free, they were so light and fluffy. The Omelette was exceptional and the waiting staff can't do enough for you. So well priced for the quality of the food.

Found this place by luck. It was GOD sent!! For a person with Celiac disease, it is so hard to find a place like this where prices are great and the food is excellent. Highly recommend this place. Food, dessert, and even a dressing were all so tasty and affordable. A win for me. Happy consumer!

Amazing! My mom is gluten free and usually has go to comb through menus to try to find something she can eat. For the first time, she could freely select what t”she wanted! We arrived at about 8:15 on a Sunday morning and we were the first ones in. Dani was our server and she was so welcoming and attentive. I got the green juice and the table got a few coffees. Coffee is French press, each of which is enough for about two people. Smooth and delish! The green juice came out right after the coffee and was very fresh and tasty. I got the breakfast sandwich with avocado, my husband the egg & quinoa hash, my mother the Belgian waffle, my father the pancakes with banana cooked in. The food came out promptly and everyone raved about their choices! Portion sizes were perfect and everything was fresh and full of flavor. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in Ft Lauderdale again. This isn’t a place to pass on, whether you’re gluten free or not. Great food and tasty choices for all!

Stopped here for breakfast right after we landed in Fort Lauderdale. We have 2 gluten intolerant people in our group and it was very nice to be able to order anything we wanted off the menu. The waffles and pancakes were very good. Two others in our group got an omelette and it was very big and loaded with fresh veggies.

Stopped in for breakfast because of their concept. Nice place and love the wall of sayings. A bit on the pricey side but not too bad. Wife and I had Egg Sandwich and the Guac Toast. Both were a bit bland and we added the hot sauce, salt and pepper. Egg sandwich waffle bread fell apart which made for some messy eating. The concept and passion of the staff makes it worth the price. Press pot coffee excellent.

This restaurant was delicious! We actually went twice while in town - it was so good the first time, we went back. We sampled from both the breakfast and lunch options. The cold brew coffee, iced green tea and smart sodas were great. Friendly staff and fresh, delicious food. We would recommend to anyone - their menu is gluten free but we didn’t go there for that.

I loved the place, we are from Brazil, and the impressively diverse menu, all gluten-free, with lactose-free, vegan and vegetarian options. The excellent service from De and Bryan made the difference, very attentive and calm, I definitely recommend them and we will be back. Rating 10. Thank you

A must visit restaurant for breakfast and or lunch. Hidden in a back street on SE17th street, this place has an amazing staff who are ultra friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The range of food choices is for everyone. 100% gluten free, vegan and organic friendly. The blended smoothies look amazing and the eggs Benedict and Americana breakfast are a must.

Delicious food and fine hospitality. FRESH food indeed! Everything was uniquely special in recipe and presentation. The press pot held the coffee temperature perfectly for my 2-hour stay, and I felt welcome to “hang out” in the bright, cheerfully decorated dining room. Close to airport and seaport. Great place!

We had a vegan couple who also couldnot eat nuts, coming to visit and us meat eaters needed lunch fast! Fresh First  came to the rescue in superior fashion. They were extremely helpful putting together a nice little buffet  of Zucchini Puttanesca,  Hearty Chili and Vegan waffles that impressed our guests. For us non vegans it tasted good too.   One other point we asked for a time to be ready an it was plus it was very fresh so you know they did not prepare ahead.

Finding vegan and gluten free options that are tasty is difficult. At Fresh First it is all gluten free and the vegan options are numerous, healthy and tasty. Breakfast tofu scramble, avocado toast, or vegan waffle. Fresh soups for lunch, great Chili, salads are plentiful and crispy, My favorite - Farmhouse Rice.
