I enjoy their ambiance. A cute and well organized bakery. The staff is attentive and are helpful when asked about the different types of cakes. I have tried several of their pastries and I can’t complain. They are fresh and so soft! I can’t help but buy a bunch of them everytime I go! 🫢😊

This had always been a chill spot to read, gather, & study with teas and baked goods, a place my friends and colleagues have hung out quite a bit, but under the new management the food is unclean. I have seen flies hovering over sealed baked goods on the display table. Preparing my drink without feeling the need to wash ones hands after handling a string of customer orders at the register was the final straw. PUBLIC BEWARE OF UNSANITARY ACTIVITY: Cashier handles the register then prepare drinks without washing hands or using gloves (although a sink is right behind the register to do so). And owner doesn’t seem to care. New ownership do better. ———— The girl that worked the cash register intended to prepare the drinks without first washing her hands and doesn’t think she needed to. When asked if she’s going to wash her hands she responded she doesn’t have to cause they use a spoon to put the ingredients in the blender & the ingredients are packaged… meanwhile she took the blender cover with her dirty hands & threw it inside the blender to be used for the drink, gathered the cup, other tools, and packaged ingredients all with her unwashed hands that worked the cash register. I had to tactfully insist that she wash her hands, as it’s normal to do so preparing other ppl’s food, which she reluctantly did then began preparing the tea with an attitude she slams down a jug & shut the small fridge with force. The owner was outside bringing in supplies & had come inside earlier with a few items before the order was taken, she had spoken to the said cashier in English, and likely didn’t note the few customers including myself who overheard her instructions & well aware she speaks English. Later when I left I saw the owner outside. I told her I come by often & my friends too, but as I began to inform her about the incident & she realized it’s a complaint the owner immediately responds smiling & repeatedly saying “no speak English, no speak English”, I then communicated in broken Spanish & she still pretended she had difficulty understanding. I told her never mind as I know she speaks English, I’ll just file a formal complaint & public review, as this was privately bringing a matter to her attention so she could offer training to the girl, make her aware the cashier doesn’t feel it’s necessary to cleanse her hands before preparing the drinks or handling the food which is unsanitary. It is clear current management doesn’t care and have no concern for sanitation. Imagine how they handle the meals & soups that are prepared in the enclosed kitchen area if they can’t prepare the boba teas in front of you with clean hands. And no wonder flies have been hovering over the sealed breads & baked goods on display on the table. They probably don’t wipe that table down… I’ll no longer buy here, especially when management doesn’t seem to think sanitation is important, too many signs of uncleanliness.

I had a mixed experience at Ari Bakery in Fort Lauderdale. While visiting family, we stopped by this bakery, but the location is tricky to find – it's tucked away in a shopping area. The baked goods looked beautiful, but the prices were surprisingly high. The taste, unfortunately, didn't quite justify the cost in my opinion. The pastries were decent, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, Ari Bakery might be worth a try if you're curious, but the prices and somewhat average taste make it unlikely that I'd become a regular customer.
