On the outside, Ally’s Comfort Café looks like your everyday greasy spoon. But once you walk in, you are greeted with the smell of pancakes on the griddle, Halloween decorations on every wall, and a waiter saying to seat yourself wherever you would like. The range in customers they serve is wide. With people coming straight from business meetings to the regulars of Davie, Ally’s Comfort Café brings people together with their great food, reasonable prices and family-oriented atmosphere.
With such a big menu, it can be difficult to pick just one thing. When I went, I couldn’t limit myself to just one thing, so I ordered a croissant sandwich with bacon, egg and cheese, a single chocolate chip pancake, and a tall glass of orange juice. As soon as the waiter wrote it down, he told my friend and I that he would be back with our food in four minutes. Sure enough, exactly four minutes later, he came back with our orders. There were no issue with my order and as soon as I bit into my sandwich, I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it. The sandwich was so rich that I could only imagine how good the pancake would be. Ally’s is known for their specialty pancakes, so if you are feeling adventurous, you can try their tres leches pancakes, peanut butter cup pancakes, blueberry cheesecake pancakes or even cinnamon bun pancakes.
Though Ally’s closes at 2 p.m., I arrived at 12 p.m. which seemed to be just in time before the mad scramble started. After my friend and I put our orders in, the lunch crowd dashed in and the humble café soon became a booming restaurant.
Located in Davie, about 15 minutes from campus, Ally’s Comfort Café is nestled in between a Dairy Queen and an optical store. Though the getting there may be difficult to manage for students without a car, whatever struggle one has to go through to get to Ally’s is surely worth it.
