Why go
A grab-and-go counter in the Pier Sixty-Six lobby
Coffee and a pastry, taken standing or carried out, is what this counter is built for. Elate Market Café works the lobby at Pier Sixty-Six in Fort Lauderdale, which means it opens into the flow of a resort rather than onto a street, and it is arranged for speed: a case of pastries, a short savoury list, and coffee.
The format is deliberately light. There is no table service and no expectation of a sit-down meal. You order at the counter, take what you want, and go.
Pastries early, sandwiches and salads later
Mornings belong to the pastry case and the breakfast sandwiches, which is when a lobby café earns its keep, before anything else in the building has opened. Coffee is the constant, and it is the reason most people are standing there.
Later in the day the counter shifts toward sandwiches and salads, the kind of light plate that works when a full lunch is not the plan. The selection is short and follows what has been made that day, so read the case rather than looking for a fixed menu.
How to use it
Treat it as the first stop of the day, or as the practical answer when you want something in hand rather than an occasion. Coffee and a pastry is the fastest order; a sandwich or a salad is the more substantial one.
It is bright, casual and quick by design, and that is the right expectation to bring. Anyone hoping for a long lunch should look elsewhere in the building. Anyone who wants breakfast in ten minutes is in the right place.
