My Mama's Books Records & Cafe
A bookstore, record shop and cafe under one roof on East Dania Beach Boulevard, a few blocks inland from the beach.
Vérifié novembre 2026
Good for a slow browse with a coffee in hand, especially on a rainy afternoon. The trade-off: it's a small-town shop with daytime hours, closed Mondays, so plan around the clock.
Books, records, coffee
The name covers it: shelves of books, bins of records and a cafe counter, all in one storefront. That combination is the draw. You can flip through vinyl, pull a paperback and sit down with a drink without leaving the room. The shop's own website doesn't list inventory, menu items or prices, so don't expect to know the stock before you arrive. Think of it as a place to wander through rather than shop with a list. If you're after one specific record or title, call ahead instead of hoping.
Tuesday runs late
Most days it's open 10 am to 6 pm, Tuesday through Sunday. Tuesday is the exception, staying open until 9 pm, which makes it the one evening you can stop by after work. Monday it's closed, and that catches people who drive over on a long weekend. Weekend afternoons are the obvious time for an unhurried browse, and a weekday morning with a coffee is the quieter option. Hours on small independent shops can shift, so a quick check before a special trip is worth it.
Worth the drive to Dania
It sits at 218 East Dania Beach Boulevard, the main strip running between US-1 and the beach in Dania Beach, just south of Fort Lauderdale. That puts it close enough to fold into a beach day or a stop near the airport. It holds a 4.8 from about 360 Google reviews, which is a strong, consistent score for a shop this size. Readers and record collectors coming up from Miami will find it an easy detour off I-95, and a better reason to visit Dania than most.
