Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar Opens Eight Location In Hallandale Beach

Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar continues to expand as the upscale European coffee bar opening its eighth location and second in Broward County in Hallandale Beach, Florida on February 8, 2022. Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar is known for its coffee, all-day breakfast options and laid back yet elevated lunch and dinner dishes. The new 1,800 square foot location is located in the centrally situated Atlantic Village, a mixed-use restaurant and retail center comprising over 70,000 square feet of retail. The Hallandale Beach location offers a more elevated look compared to the classic Crema Gourmet feel, complete with white brick walls and an industrial cafe-bistro vibe.

“We are so excited to see Crema Gourmet grow,” said Ioannis Sotiropoulos and Efthymios Paliouras, co-owners of Crema Gourmet “Working alongside the franchisees has been great, and we look forward to opening more locations in the coming years.”

Crema Gourmet serves coffee with Illy espresso beans and the menu features all-day breakfast, fresh pressed juices and smoothies, hearty penne pastas, handcrafted sandwiches, fresh salads and bowls all prepared in-house, plus wine and beer. The Hallandale location will feature all of Crema Gourmet’s classic and most-ordered dishes, including the Open Face Breakfast Sandwich, Chicken Club Sandwich and the Salmon Bowl.

Crema Hallandale Beach is open from 7 am to 7 pm and is located at 701 N Federal Hwy, Ste 101, Hallandale Beach, FL 33009. Other Crema Gourmet locations include Coral Gables, Brickell and South Beach.

Temakase Sushi Bar From NYC's East Village To Open In South Florida At Atlantic Village In Hallandale Beach

The popular Japanese handroll sushi bar which made waves with its first location in New York’s trendy East Village will open their first brick-and-mortar location in South Florida after hosting a successful pop-up experience at the Sagamore Hotel in Miami Beach. Temakase will join the dynamic roster of restaurant tenants at the mixed-use Hallandale Beach lifestyle plaza, Atlantic Village. Atlantic Village is being developed by the Mexico City-based Group Eco. Temakase is part of Atlantic Village’s third phase, set for completion by the end of 2021.

“We are thrilled to welcome Temakase to the compelling retail and restaurant mix at Atlantic Village,” Grupo Eco Real Estate Developer Daniel Chaberman said. “Our goal was to bring unique and fun restaurant and retail options to the area, and we are excited to see it all coming together.”

Founded by restauranters Anthony Shnayderman and Liron Michaeli, Temakase offers an authentic omakase experience with a more affordable price tag. Omakase is a Japanese term that roughly translates to “I’ll leave it up to you,” meaning the chef curates the menu with a variety of handroll tasting options. In addition to the chef’s choice menus, customers also have the option of choosing from an à la carte menu.

“Temakase offers the experience of getting to sit in front of a chef who will custom create a meal for you using the freshest ingredients,” Shnayderman said. “After seeing how well our concept was received at the Sagamore, we wanted a permanent South Florida location and Atlantic Village checked all the boxes.”

Located at 601, 701 and 801 N. Federal Hwy., Atlantic Village is bringing a wide variety of restaurants to its diverse retail lineup that also includes service-oriented retail, entertainment, office and medical tenants.

The first phase is fully opened and features many food-and-beverage tenants including: Crudos Fusion Art, Doggi’s Arepa Bar, Dr. Limon Ceviche Bar, Juice Mafia and The Blues Burgers. Phase two restaurant tenants include Holi Vegan Kitchen, Crema Gourmet, Gelato-Go, Jaffa Israel Kitchen and Wine Bar and La Piazzetta.
