About
The smell of fresh coffee mixes with the hum of conversation from a mix of 20-somethings, 30-somethings, and regulars hunched over laptops. Java Boys has been an anchor of Wilton Manors' gayborhood for years, offering a place that's as much about community as caffeine. It's a fast-casual cafe where the clientele is mixed LGBTQ+ and straight, and the vibe stays casual whether you're grabbing a scone or settling in for a Sunday brunch. The owner is often around to chat, according to regulars.
Hours run from 6:30am to midnight every day, making it one of the few late-night coffee options in the area. The outdoor seating and family-friendly atmosphere draw a steady crowd. Just note that Yelp lists this venue as possibly permanently closed, so call ahead or check before heading out.
Java Boys sits in Wilton Manors, Fort Lauderdale's LGBTQ+ hub, known for its concentration of gay-friendly bars, restaurants, and shops.

“amazing place and people”
I've been coming here for about four weeks now, and I really enjoy the neighborhood and vibe. I will say that for the price of a Starbucks drink, I got coffee that tasted much better and was also nice to look at.

Over a year ago. The scones are wonderful! It's a great spot to meet up for coffee. The owner is a really nice person and is usually around to talk. Also good for brunch.

“A great coffee shop that could be even greater”
It's hard for me to say what Java Boys might be lacking. The service is excellent, they show interesting videos or movies, the coffee is good, and the pastries are okay. It's a nice place to sit with your laptop and get work done, chat with a friend, or possibly meet someone new. Maybe it just needs that extra spark to draw in more people. But if you like your coffee and the company, you'll enjoy Java Boys.
