Truly one of the best cafe experiences I’ve had since moving to Florida! The atmosphere is warm, like a deep hug, with a tasteful and eclectic mix of local art and funky decor. I was greeted by Christopher as if we were old friends and upon hearing it was my first time, he went above and beyond to welcome me and walk me through the menu. He explained that they change it often, sometimes even daily, and usually on a theme. Beyond the extended hospitality was the breakfast I got - I ended up going with a pumpkin latte and a mushroom empanada. After 15 years of working in food & beverage, particularly vegan foods, I can truly appreciate when something is done this well. In a barrage of pumpkin spice everything this month, this latte stood way out. Noticeably using real pumpkin and lacking the sticky pumpkin corn syrup flavoring that has come to dominate the season - it was like a bite of fresh pie. The mushrooms in the empanada were seasoned in a white wine reduction and the crust was flaky and delicate. I’d popped in for a quick coffee and a snack and discovered a gourmet gem! I can’t wait to come back to pick up a few of their lunch/dinner prepared entrees. What a...
Read moreOver the holidays we had friends and co-workers gathering for a party and one of our good friends, Shawn, is doing his best to maintain a vegetarian lifestyle at the recommendation of his nutritionist. We heard about the multitude of vegetarian options at Inika foods and we checked out their website. I’m not a vegetarian but I actually was able to talk to the owner and he suggested I try the Spanakopita (I had never heard of them before). They were amazing and a big platter was chosen for the party. They were a hit the light flaky layers of dough topped with dill. Again I was leery of Spinach (it’s not Popeyes Spinach) but it was delicious. People were asking for the recipe, because they looked fresh out of the oven but all I could say was Inika foods…I have a good friend who went to culinary school and she explained to me how there are several layers of the dough and it can be tricky getting them just right, but Inika foods nailed it, they were Phenomenal…Again I’m not a vegetarian but I loved these Spinakopita and a big thank you to Justin for a great recommendation! Can’t wait to get down there to visit the store and try more!!!...
Read moreThis is a locally owned and family operated small business. Inika Foods is the best place in Broward County for vegan meals, pastries and treats. I've been devouring their home made meals for years and never been disappointed. Never had a bad meal. The menu is always changing so there is always a new and exciting meal to try. They serve lunch and dinner. The portions are very generous. I can't begin to name the meals I've had. This is home made vegan cooking at it's finest. Among the memorable vegan desserts I have loved were a gorgeous, unique unicorn cake, a guava cupcake and the birthday or celebration cookie. I'll try to attach photos. The seating is super cozy and space limited. But that just adds to the home made vibe. I've eaten inside and taken home pick-up orders. The owners are always delightful and have a smile on their face. When you have business owners loving what they do, it comes through in service and the excellent quality of the meals they serve. I would give them more than 5 stars if allowed because they are many stars above the rest. Love this place. The food...
