Books and Books Cafe at Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale

This is just a simple café, good for a snack sandwich, a bowl of soup or something light; not meant for meals. It’s a part of and located in the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art in the book and souvenir section just as you walk into the main entrance of the museum. It’s super clean, has a pleasant indoor as well as outdoor patio setting with a super friendly very accommodating staff. The inside tables are somewhat sparse but nicely set with a fresh flower arrangement.
You can have your choice of about four different salads, five cold sandwiches, two hot sandwiches all nicely priced at $ 8.95 each. There is also a choice of seven coffee selections, wines, beers and desserts. I went for their special of the day being a cold California turkey sandwich with avocado, tomato and mozzarella cheese that came served in a thin crusted Cuban bun along with a side salad. As far was sandwiches go it was indeed very good, especially for the meager price of $ 7.95.

In the lobby of the Museum of Art you will find Broward’s own branch of Miami’s famous Books and Books that includes a sweet spot for a café. Enjoy Italian coffees or a glass of wine on the breezeway/​patio any time of year, but what better time than now that the steamy temps have cooled down. My employer recently held a meeting and ordered lunch from the café menu, and wow was it good.
This menu offers a selection of salads Nicoise, Caesar, Cobb, Chef, Waldorf, and Mediterranean. Hot sandwiches: Le Mendiant, Renoir, and Bruschetta (this one was very popular among our group and everyone loved it!). Cold sandwiches: Parisian, Bistro, Tuna, Normandie, and Da Vinci. I ordered the Bistro of roast beef, horseradish, cream cheese, lettuce and tomato and it was delicious. Each meal is priced at $ 8.95. I was particularly impressed with the baguette and how perfect this bread was … all sandwiches served with a side salad or as we selected potato chips and a chocolate chip cookie. Cupcakes and ice cream are also on this menu.
Check our their website for all of the details. A fulfilled order for 20 and mouthfuls of smiles all around was a big win in our book!
