“This is the best organic spot ive found in south miami so far. The organic waffles are delicious and the coffee tastes so fresh. Pure organics has such high quality ingredients, I feel good about eating there every time. The staff is super friendly. Hoping to try more food next time im in the area.“

“I order from this place at least once a week because the prices are great, the food is delicious and they conveniently deliver to my job through Uber Eats and Postmates. Almost all combos are under $10 and the portions are enough to leave you full. For breakfast I usually go with the palomilla steak and eggs or their scramble with veggies. The breakfast is usually enough to fill me up until dinner time. For lunch I usually do a sandwich combo with fries and a drink. I'm a big fan of their Philly cheese steak so far but I will most likely try a new sandwich one of these days since I've liked everything I've tried from them so far. The one thing I always order without a doubt from this spot is a side of their black beans. They're outstanding! They taste just like my grandma used to make them and they're perfectly seasoned. Even my boyfriend enjoys them and he is not a fan of beans, at all.“

“Amazing place to go with friends and have a great time and besides that the food is 10 ?It is also to take into account if you want to celebrate at home. The catering that Clásica Victoria offers is the best and you do not have to take care of anything! They organize everything. Its owner is very meticulous and is in every detail!“

“My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of dining at Keik, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredible.But what truly made our experience stand out was the exceptional service we received from our waitress, Mary. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, taking the time to explain the menu and made recommendations based on our preferences. Her enthusiasm and passion for the restaurant's offerings were contagious, and she made us feel like valued guests.And then, of course, there was the food - oh, the food! Honestly the best pancakes I have ever eaten.Keik, you've earned a loyal customer in us! And Mary, thank you for your outstanding service - we can't wait to come back and see you again!“

The girl that was helping us, Samantha! was really nice and attentive. Would recommend!“

“Breakfast and lunch. The food was delicious, the ambience was cozy and service excellent. My party of 3 all agreed the music was too loud. We asked for it to be lowered a bit and they complied. A happy customer always returns. Looking forward to the next brunch.“

“A very nice place on the beach.Its owners are Spanish, they attend to the business with professionalism, ensuring that the paella accompanied with European-type bread, the squid in batter and the Catalan cream are sublime and a unique experience for the palate. It is worth coming and repeating the experience. I highly recommend it.Additionally, the music they play is Spanish and of very good taste and appropriate to the occasion.“

“Haven’t been here in a while yet the second i’m back, they treat me like family! I asked about an allergen and they literally showed me the ingredients they used, went above and beyond. No other place does it like sweet paris. Thank you!!-“

“Best breakfast sandwiches of my life. It's so hard finding quality food and ingredients in Miami and Novela nailed it with their Egg Sammie and Herb Omelette Ciabatta. Get the ciabatta with bacon and a side of the homemade sirracha mayo is unreal. I'm a saucy girl and they know how to do sauce.Also great place to co work from and such great vibes. AND rose syrup for your coffee :,) I'm obsessed.“

“Nice shop, always busy. You order directly at the counter and the food is then brought to your table.Breakfast and the croissants were delicious, but contained far too much filling for my taste. But it's better this way than the other way around.“

“The place is super nice, consistently attended by its waiters, with excellent service. To start, we had some delicious empanadas. We had sorrentinos and spaghetti for the main course, and they were delicious! And for dessert, dulce de leche pancake with ice cream. Very lovely atmosphere! Highly recommended!“

“We were in the Gables and decided to try this Australin twist for breakfast. Location is on Goralda by many restaurants. Plenty of seating outside. Wife had a almond milk coffee. Coffe was excellent. Think it was an African brew. IDaughter had a lamb burger with ske liked. There supposedly known for the ? toast. Wife said it was good. I had a toast with lamb and an ? on top. It was good but was missing maybe a fruit marmalade or something. It was different and descent..Service was really good.“

“I love the whole vibe of this spot. The drinks, food and music was on point. I actually found this restaurant on tik tok. I recommend going here and I really return on my next vacation from here on out. The wings were very delicious you have to try those, I recommend them. Customer service was excellent, the best I’ve had in a long time.“

“I like to go to this amazing little cafes. In my opinion the food is simply amazing, tastes so so good but the service is not as good as the food. The tall girl that usually serves is not good at customer service. I continue visiting this place because of the amazing food but I think the service could be much better.“

“What a great time at the Crandon Park, in Key Biscayne today! I had no idea that they offer beach side service from Open Seas Cafe, great food, liquor on the beach, feeling like a mini vacation. Gary got our beach chairs and umbrella set up and told us all about the amenities here.. what an amazing guy, very friendly and knowledgeable- we can’t wait to come back!!!!“

“Such a charming creperie nestled in Coral Gables, this place absolutely knows crepe culinary. Had a wonderful Sunday morning brunch, as it was quiet and private. It has a delightful offering of both sweet and savory crepes, and I decided for the Philly Cheesesteak crepe. What flavors! Had my tastebuds going wild…will definitely be visiting again.Aesthetic is top notch, and the service was awesome. Very pocket-friendly.“

“Stopped by to browse menu when we went to pick up açai bowls at Raw South and WOW! Cafe Oriental was awesome. We tried 3 ONIGIRI (Rice Handballs); one tuna, one eel and one fried chicken. Excellent and fun to eat. Also , ordered a Beef Yakisoba; bursting with flavors and beef was tender. Will be back very soon. Highly recommended. Staff member was friendly and took time to explain the menu and everything was packaged neatly. Thank me later.“

“Maria was super helpful when it came to serving our table. Viviana was very kind and made sure we were happy with everything! The food was one of a kind, my mom referred my girl and i here and we were so happy! The hot sauce has the perfect kick, no other nica place can compare to that sauce! Thank you “

“Such a unique experience and creative food, well attended from the second I walked through the door by a waitress named Ruth; was very attentive and answered every question about the menu I had . Would definetely recommend trying it out if you haven’t!“

“First time trying this cafe, I thought it was one of those busy hectic coffee shops where you can barely find a sit, but It’s a pleasant atmosphere, the guy at the counter was very kind, I ordered a latte and a croissant like every Saturday morning and the coffee was very tasty and also good temperature, not extremely hot. The croissant could of been a little bit more crispy. But overall good! I’ll definitely come back again.“

“As an Italian, I really miss a traditional pasticceria. Mamma Leone makes me feel like I’m back in Rome. You can order in Italian (they speak the language) and they serve the coffee on the bar in a glass of you want (the way we Italians do it). Drink your coffee with a cornetto ? and enjoy. The pastry is authentic, cornetto mini nutella and torta della nonna highly recommended. Five stars.“

“Madda's Place is a delightful gem with beautiful decor and friendly service. I visited on a Saturday and was seated promptly, enjoying board games while waiting. The three egg omelet with ham and bacon was fresh and delicious, accompanied by a tasty salad. And the mocha iced coffee? Absolutely divine. A must-visit spot for a great breakfast.Vegetarian options: SaladsDietary restrictions: Clean food, organic mainly. Salads, fish, meat dishes. Dairy-Free options for coffee.Kid-friendliness: A pretty good place to come with your kids. There are board games available to use.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space to navigate a wheelchair. First flood access.“

“They say size matters... Family and I stopped here for midday Sunday breakfast. Place was packed but luckily we were able to find a table quickly. Parking was on the street and not the greatest but again we got lucky and found a spot rather quickly. You have to pay by phone. Inside the place had a good roar as they had a fully seated restaurant. They have a large spacious dining room and good size service counter as well. As you walk in you can't help but notice their spread of large croissants and other baked goods. We decided to order the French Toast, Croque Madame and the Kids Egg Breakfast along with an Almond Croissant and of course a Guava and Cheese Croissant. Everything was really tasty and came out pretty quick. French Toast was probably my favorite but I have a sweet tooth. The Croque Madame was perfectly cooked. The egg just oozed out upon touching it. I felt it was also a nice sized portion. I had to take some home. The croissants were also really good. They had ample amounts of filling and thats saying a lot given their size. I can see how you could just go in and have a coffee and croissant for breakfast and would be satisfied. In fact I might be doing that more often here. The guava though I would have preferred it to be more of a marmalade like consistency instead of guava jelly like but still it was very good. I have to also give a special shout out to their Orange Juice. Wow it was so fresh. My only complaint was that I wish I could have endless refills although it was nice that our orders included coffee and orange juice. As we were heading out they had a line out the door of folks waiting to be seated. So you might have to wait but the place is worth it. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. They even have the cutest little to go boxes. Overall great place for breakfast and I would definitely be coming back. Recommend if in the area.“

“So good! I'm still dreaming about their crème fraiche pancakes. They were to die for and I'm make the commute to Miami just for them. The bowl that I got was delicious as well. Coffee was great, small portion but the lavender flavor was delicious without making the drink taste soapy. The only thing that disappointed me was that they were out of their more popular baked goods when I got there for lunch at a relatively early time. I hope to be able to try them at some point in the future. Place is beautiful with instagramable spots and the service was fine!“

“This restaurant is a hidden Kendall gem! Thank goodness my friend just happened upon it when going to Wawa. It was on a Monday. On Monday’s everything is buy one, get one free! Two churrasco dinners for $20…. Amazing!!!!! They give you complimentary homemade mariquitas before dinner … yum! The fajitas are also amazing! On Wednesday, they have buy one, get one free sandwiches. They were huge and delicious. Try it out on a Monday! You will be so happy you did! From now on, it’s my Monday and Wednesday retreat!“

“We were looking for a location to celebrate a post kindergarten graduation and MAWI was able to accommodate us during the week. All the kids and parents were very happy with the service, price, cleanliness, and overall decoration. The kids had a blast and we hope to come back again in the future. Thank you MAWI!“

“I really like the vibe of the place. The Milk Teas are good and prices are very reasonable. Nice place to hangout with friends and have boba, they also have game boards but it was too late when we found out about it. Will definitely come back.“

“An amazing little cafe in the middle of a concrete jungle, what a find. It's simply a counter, you order and wait, then you can head out to the reflecting pool to eat. All the food is fresh and made daily, it's breakfast and lunch, very good and reasonably priced ! We had the ham and cheese croissant, the Sunday sandwich and 2 Americanos for $20 plus tip. It was hot, fresh and very tasty. The coffee was amazing and the 2 women who ran the spot were delightful. It's just basically a food stand, no real ambiance, but it is clean and efficient. We can't wait to go back and try lunch, homemade soups and sandwiches........“

“We love coming here for breakfast. My favorite dish is the French toast and the avocado toast. Their lemonade and coffee is amazing. The croquettas are a must try. The serves are always very attentive to your needs. Sometimes during the weekends there's a wait to be seated but nothing unreasonable. The ambiance is great, there's always music playing and very family oriented. Highly recommended.“

“First time here and it is really good. I had the pesto chicken quinoa bowl. It’s beyond good, it’s super tasty and I would have it again. Also had the tomato basil soup and it was great. Will be coming back for sure. There’s parking space in the front of the restaurant very convenientDietary restrictions: They have Gluten Free bread but it’s not a GF kitchen“

“This man right here Emmanuel ROCKsThe vibes out this bike shop beat a lot of places. It’s a vibe and can accustom a lot of people that are into both communities of biking and café (kava spots)If you love a citrus kratom they got a fire mix.Everything here is unique too.I got the Mr T green and it’s excellent.Next I’m trying the cheech and Chong 50/50 mix of kava and kratom.“

“On Wednesdays this is the place to be for happy hour. They usually have sponsorships and tech networking events where they provide free drinks and pizza. You get to meet locals in the area as well as other entrepreneurs and business owners. It's a great spot to also mingle with friends and catch up.“

“If you want to try authentic spanakopita, this is the place for it. We were visiting Miami and staying downtown, but Ubered here twice just for spanakopita, horiatiki salata, Freddo cappuccinos and portokalopita. For a few hours I felt like I was in Greece again.“

“The food is a little pricey for what it is, but not where it is. The portions are adequate, and the setting is very comfortable. The employees were friendly and welcoming. As we sat and ate, the restaurant started to fill up with regulars. If I lived nearby, I would probably be one of them. As it is, I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit this cozy lounge.“

“One of the best Venezuelan bakeries so far! The cachitos jam of course is the thing you need to order. Plenty of jam shredded to perfection.Cafecito con leche on point and of course I added my cinnamon powder to it! Adding to our Venezuelan degustation, a Golfeado is the way to go. For those who are not familiar with it, it is very similar to a Cinnamon roll but mixes the savory by including Venezuelan cheese as a topping (queso de mano ? + anise (anís). This one in particular was baked to perfection, as it was mellowed with plenty of honey and crunchy nuts ?to top it.The apple strudel ? was a like a puff cloud blowing in your mouth and with plenty of sugar powding to blow your expectations!The jam & cheese croissant ? easily crumbled in your mouth, I just wish it had more jam & cheese filling.The Palmerita was baked with plenty of cinnamon and vanilla! A twist of the traditional Spanish treat that I was not expecting. ?The place just needs some area to sit down and enjoy its pastry selection on site!Looking forward to try the rest on my next visit, even thought the place is pricy, but it is worth every drop of coffee of it ?☕️“

“My husband and I had lunch here twice while visiting Miami. We thought the food, ambiance and service were excellent. Our first visit we split a Perez Chopped salad with chicken. I had a Coke and a nonalcoholic Honey Mule Gingerbeer. We sat on the lovely outdoor patio overlooking the water. We were first time visitors to Miami, so we especially enjoyed looking at the Miami skyline. Then we toured the Perez Art Museum. We liked this restaurant so much we decided to dine here again when we visited the Frost Museum of Science, which is next door. This time we ate inside since it was raining. We split the delicious Perez Chopped Salad and some toast. This wonderful restaurant was recommended to us by a longtime Florida resident. We would be happy to dine at this restaurant even if not visiting the museums.“

“Saw on Tik Tok, thought the place would have a vibe and good food. The service was good. I ordered the Stuffed Crab surprise and it was cold. They immediately remedied by cooking another meal. The crab was tasty, seasoned and the surprise was delicious (I won't spoil it for you). The peppers were excellent choice to add a depth of flavor. We had Strawberry Lavender tea which my mom enjoyed so much she drank both of ours. Give a try, Be patient, parking and seating is limited.“

“Location is just perfect, amazing view by the bay, with pretty good options for quick lunch or breakfast, I just ideal for relax and enjoy a coffee. The food truck is pretty and the environment is always clean, service is good too fast and nice“

“Food was worth the wait. We ordered oxtails with rice and peas curry, shrimp, jerk, chicken, mac & cheese, chicken patties plantains and rum punch. All excellent and we have traveled many Caribbean islands... Jamaica, Grenada, Antigua, Dominican Republic, and this place had the best Caribbean food. The spice level was great. The food was fresh. The service was great, and we even ended up there a little later than we had wanted and we still felt like we were welcome, the restaurant is spacious and plays good music.“

“What can I say that I don't tell you every day, my favorite place for my lunch every day, the food, the attention from the girls to Mariano the chef who always pleases us with those exquisite dishes, an excellent place without talking about the prices that are very economical for the quality of the food“

“What a great spot! Books & Books always has something going on: comedy night, spoken poetry events, and a plethora of other events. The cafe's food never disappoints either, and their happy hour deals are amazing! $5 wine and select apps, and plenty of seating both inside and outside at the patio/bar. Service is wonderful too; everyone is super attentive and kind. This is probably my favorite Books & Books location--the ambiance is unbeatable!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Garage Café deserves all the stars! The smash burger was incredibly delicious—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. What really impressed me was the staff's kindness and flexibility. They made a special keto burger for my husband, who is avoiding bread, without any hassle. The friendly service and laid-back atmosphere make this place a must-visit. I can't wait to come back and try more from their menu. Highly recommended!“
