Great place for coffee, great atmosphere. Authentic Italian, family owned barista.

Nice local place for coffee. Wonderful latte. Recommended.

Absolutely the best coffe shop in south florida, and the hospitality is grand!!! Definitely my new cafe*****

Superb coffee. Just like Italy. Mostly Italian spoken by the customers. Italian regulars are often sitting outside passing the time.

Great Caffe Cappuccino and sandwiches! The best cannoli that you will find. Cash only !

Hands down the best espresso and macchiatos in South Florida - highly recommend.

Awesome cappuccino and interesting clientele! My new favorite coffee stop in Pompano!

If you want great espresso this is the place to go.

Best place to enjoy a great coffee and smoke a cigar!

Besttttt coffeeeee hands down and owner super sweet. A big YES!

True authentic Italian coffee. When you see other Italian (ya know because of their accent)people hangin around you know it’s going to be good. We weren’t disappointed. Creamy, strong delicious flavored coffee. If you want real espresso this is the place to go for that authentic Italian espresso.

Visiting pompano beach for our honeymoon and found this place while looking up where to grab coffee. The owner was a great guy and the atmosphere feels like you’re at home. The regulars were nice as well and made great conversation. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to trying some good lattes and conversation!

This place is a dream if you’re looking for an authentic spot for Italian caffe latte. I was daydreaming of Italy for months after returning from vacationing there, I saw how busy this cafe was (all the time!) and finally stopped in to discover the atmosphere, staff, food and coffee brought me right back to a piazza in Italy. Instantly Became a regular here, love the owner and everything about this place.

I only had the chance to stop by twice, but I’m wishing this was my daily coffee stop. I walked in and immediately felt like Peter was my friend. Great environment, not to mention how wonderful the cannoli and espresso was. Please make this your coffee stop!

Cigars, Italian accents, political discourage, and the best espresso in town — Sportivos is a dream cafe. In business for 25 years and as Italia as you can get. Absolutely loved my morning coffee here. Would come here everyday if I were a local girl.

Absolutely PERFECT Cappuccino and Espresso! The owner is also very kind and welcoming

Probably the best place in South Florida for authentic Italian coffee and cannoli. Friendly people with many many regulars - it feels like an Italian village cafe.

I really hope this cafe doesn't get swallowed up by Development. Good, strong espresso followed by the political talk of the day. Hang outside and smoke a cigar any time. Cafe Sportiva defines a great "local hang! Be ready to talk about soccer!!

Cool place.. if you want to hear those old Italian, Sicilian, Palermo wise guys and get yuh a great coffee, best in Florida!! This is the spot!! They of course can cook some really good food.. this is a true authentic spot!!

Best cappuccinos ever! Reasonably priced all fresh cash only. We bring our twelve-year-old son he loves it. Highly recommend 💯

Came here for a quick coffee break with my bf and ended up staying longer than expected. I’ll be honest, I was eavesdropping at the funny conversations from the locals and having a blast while enjoying yummy cannolis and great coffee. Friendly environment, delicious coffee ❤️

Because if I want coffee, cappuccino or sfogliatella🧁 it's the right place where to be. Awesome people, good vibes. A pieces of authentic Italy is here.🔝

Very good coffee and a delicious hot lime croissant. Prepare to enjoy with cash only.

Very cool local café. The espresso is great. Bring cash!

Peter the owner is awesome and really welcoming. The coffee is sooooo good. Highly recommend :)

Smal and cozy local, you want a Italian espresso there you got it, real taste

Got a cappuccino from here. Authentic Italian coffee. Absolutely delicious. Make this a morning stop on your vacation. You won’t be disappointed. A hidden gem here.

We stopped in and did not have cash, they only take cash we found out. But the owner Pietro, gave us the cappuccinos and said pay for it and you get around next time..

Wonderful place, excellent authentic Italian coffee and breakfast sandwiches... bread is delish. Always have to visit in every trip here. Friendly people... happy place

Coffee and food are the best in South Florida. The owners are nothing but respectful and off er great service

Great place for cappuccino.. Very friendly owner and customers. Love sitting on the sidewalk is steadwalk watching the traffic go by and enjoying my morning with fantastic cappuccino

Small place, cash only, friendly people. One of the best Lattes I’ve ever had in my life AND they had alternative milk options 😭. It was so good!

A familiar place to meet friends and ex-pats from montreal while enjoying amazing espresso and tasty grilled sandwiches. Peter is a guy that puts his heart in his work.

These people became our family down here we love all them so much and amazing coffee and pastries as well! - The Pimentals.

Best coffee outside of Italy

If you want to meet old, Italian guys this is the place to go. New yorker place. Simplicity is key here. Good espresso. Italian atmosphere.

AMAZING coffee great service Very kind and sociable place Definitely recommend!!

Just a fantastic spot to come to for which is possibly the best italian coffee in town. Pristine service - Peter you are the best!

Not Starbucks!!! Hurrah! Those who've been to Italy will recognize this as a traditional home in the wall coffee bar. Simple but quality drinks.

Espresso bar, yummy fresh cannoli made with sheep’s milk cream…go when you have time to linger…

Nice place to visit! It's our second time in Pompano and we love going to the bar

Great little hole in the wall, real deal Italian coffee shop. Best espresso I've ever had.

Real Italian place ! Real coffee and real cannoli ! Love it

The service here is absolutely wonderful! My daughter and I walked from the pier for coffee one morning, and it was completely my fault, but I didn't see the 'cash only' sign until after we ordered. I asked where the closest ATM was and they wouldn't have it. We were so thankful and the coffee was fantastic. Of course we went back a few days later, with cash, and had breakfast with our whole family. The breakfast sandwich is amazing, I highly recommend it!

Little gem of a café! Tasty breakfast sandwich, great coffee, and awesome dessert!

An absolute delight, great atmosphere and the coffee ☕️ was amazing! Thank you Peter!

Bellissima, the owner Peter is so nice and cool. I always enjoy visiting here and the espresso is authentic & excellent

Love it!! Great people (crowd & employees) & awesome cappuccino and cannolis. Been 2 weekends in a row now and plan to go back next. :)

Visited with my buddy Nick, Great cappuccino, and pastries, the owner was working and very friendly. We parked appropriately and had no issues, unlike other people. I noticed the negative reviews of people who can’t seem to understand a small business needs to keep their parking available for its patrons in order to stay in business. I’ll be back when I’m visiting friends!

My boyfriend and I just tried this place this morning. The owner (I’m assuming) was super nice and friendly. My cappuccino was amazing!! Will be back.

one of the most flavorful cups of espresso I’ve had in the pompano beach area. If your looking for an inexpensive, authentic Italian espresso and cannoli, this is the place.

The people, pastries and latte was amazing. Thank you for being the highlight of our trip.

Love this place, its truly a hidden gem. Reminds me a lot of Sicily, great coffee, amazing cannolo! And great people to talk to. Will definitely be coming back. Mi raccomando!

Peter the owner is very welcoming. Best cappuccino around! Coming from an Italian herself, this place has great coffee and great atmosphere. This is my new spot ☻

We come here every year to enjoy the coffee and service. My family is from Italy and is nice to see the Italians hanging out. Reminds me of my family. This is a family owned business for 26 years. The owner is great! The coffee and pastries are amazing. Please support this local business. miglior caffè! Grazie!

Me topé con esta cafetería italiana y era una joya. Se nota que es un lugar muy querido en la ciudad; saludaban a los clientes habituales por su nombre y el dueño hizo que todos se sintieran bienvenidos. Mencionó que lleva 27 años en esto, y la pasión se palpa en el ambiente. El capuchino que tomé estaba perfecto, rico, suave y no demasiado fuerte. Por solo $5, valió totalmente la pena. El lugar tiene un ambiente cálido y acogedor, con gente amable que te hace sentir como en casa. ¡Sin duda, una visita obligada si estás por la zona!

¡Auténtico ambiente italiano! Tienen una máquina de espresso excelente y el italiano que la manejaba sabía perfectamente qué hacer. El sabor del latte era buenísimo y perfectamente equilibrado. El croissant también era muy italiano, con relleno por dentro. ¡Solo aceptan efectivo!

Looking for an afternoon hot latte, I did a quick search on my drive to the beach. This to me personally, was some of the best espresso I have had in the area. Keep in mind this is an old school hangout type vibe, with all the dons smoking cigars in the front. However, I appreciate a good smelling smoke of cigar, and felt very invited and the most warm welcome from all the regulars sitting outside enjoying the perfect weather. This is definetly a guys hangout place, but the high quality espresso and equipment spoke for itself. More importantly, the man who made our drinks knew exactly how to finesse and was quite delicate with the machine. The result was a delicious well steamed latte, at a very reasonable price. I loved they even had milk alternatives, which I am always comparing, and this was in fact the correct type of almond milk to make a hot latte, and was steamed to perfection.

Capuchino excellent!!! Homemade apricot croissant phenomenal and the Italian sandwich wonderful!!Great Sicilian local place!!!

Great place to sit and enjoy great coffee such as espressos, lattes and cappuccinos. A genuine Italian hangout with a friendly atmosphere. My wife and I had the chocolate croissants with cappuccinos and my son had a plain croissant and hot chocolate. The owner and another gentleman treated us as if we were regulars. Will go back again when we are in Pompano Beach.

If you are looking for Italians in southern Florida you will find them here! Great cornetti, we went 2 days in a row! Loved it!

Great local Italian coffee shop that serves sandwiches and cannolis. They are $6 each, but worth it. Give them a try if you're in the neighborhood.

Consumo su café ☕️ es delicioso

Muy atentos y amables

this look like a hang out spot for the locals. this is a Cash Only place. I went in to get some good coffee. I like my lattes to have nice fine foam and this place was below average. the coffee was good but the whole late steamed milk thing was not to their best. the cups to go need to be upgraded from Styrofoam to some real coffee cups. they have some nice cups if you want to have your drink there.

The guy was surly, the coffee was warm not hot and he didn’t listen to my order.

Dog on roof with other rift-raft. Friend that I met, car was booted. No notice for parking violation. Public parking. We were ready to have an after dinner drink. I highly discourage. Check out the sign above their store front. That pretty much says it all.

For an Italian style cafe it sure is run by a pitiful, greasy weasel of a man. No wonder people prefer the German restaurant next to them. Second fiddle in war, last place in food. Checkers should anschluss this dump.

Looks cute, but I will never know if it's actually good. Owner boots cars of customers at neighboring businesses without warning. Deters his own potential customers. Sad.

Looking at all these reviews i was SO HYPE to come to this place and It was such a let down… let me explain my experience so you can judge for yourself::: We (my mother FROM ITALY and I) find a reserved cafe spot in the back. Cool start. >>> all downhill from there >>> We go around the front and there are a bunch of dudes chain-smoking… Which, I get it, people smoke its a free country… but right in front of a place where people are trying to eat?? kinda yuck. ANYWAYS We decide to ignore the yuck because maybe inside is different?! Go to open the door and all the glass is broken… so the cigarette smoke is wafting INTO the cafe 🤢 which is FILLED WITH MEN WATCHING A HOCKEY GAME (like its an Italian bar at least soccer come on). And ok maybe thats on me .. cafe sportivo translates to sports bar 🤣 but a) it was PACKED and b) NO ONE MOVED so my mom and i couldn’t reach the bar to order a drink or food even if we wanted to!!! We STILL Try to give it a chance and shove our way past all the giant men to look at the food. There was like one muffin and one croissant. At that point with nowhere to even stand and no one even checking in with us to see if we wanted we left. My mom said “che horrore” which i don’t think you need a translator to understand. Soooooooooo maybe the cafe has good cappuccini and cornetti but I’ll never know cause the vibes were NOT IT.
