50 Best Cafes near Bay Harbor Islands

“Ive been going to this place since i was in elementary school and now im a highschooler, this place IS THE OG. Everything on the sandwiches has me ready to pull out my college savings account for more, when the prices are also so cheap and friendly. Sometimes the ladies are a little mean but i know they still goated and i love them ?“

“Delicious food, excellent coffee and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“Nice atmosphere m, staff was great, and food was delicious. The mimosa was as big as my head.. lol However, it was $19. I wish there would have been a smaller size option as I have a very small stomach due to weight loss surgery. With the $19 mimosa I also got a coffee, eggs with cheese and bacon with a bagel to go for my friend. With tip the bill was $60. Now I realize I’m in South Beach, but I think that is a little excessive for breakfast. Lunch and dinner I understand.“

“What an amazing place. The food is delicious and the coffee is a must have. It’s an art deco salon that offers fantastic service and very hospital staff.“

“I give him a five star review the food is excellent The Waitresses is very much on time and the waiter was excellent in the food is delicious I recommend this place very much“

“This review is long overdue and I've been slacking. I cannot gush about this place enough! I heard about maman opening up before it was actually opened. Stoked about it because it's originally a NYC spot. And we all know NYC has some of the best eats!!!

Went during first week after it opened in Feb 2024 because coincidentally I was in Wynwood for something else. Had to stop in to snag some coffee and their Dark Chocolate Orange Cubed Croissant. Absolute heaven. The cubed croissant was perfectly layered and fun to eat. The filling was just the right hint of sweetness without being overly indulgent.

The ambiance is everything. I walked in and was immediately transported to a cute French cafe. The decor is heavenly. They thought of every little detail from the space, furniture, lighting, dishware, glassware, wallpaper and presentation on every level. It's super charming. I loved it so much I had planned a girls brunch the following month in March. We couldn't wait!

Brunch day came and my girlfriends fell in love with the space just as much as I did. They don't take reservations, first come first serve. So we arrived on a Sat morning as soon as they opened and were seated right away. Had a bit of everything. We had a variety of cocktails, because brunch. Sangria Tropicale was yummy. The Everything Croissant & Salmon Sandwich and Eggs Ratatouille is so damn good. My girls enjoyed the Croque maman but it was too much for me, too much cheese and way too rich.

We noticed our server wasn't dressed like the rest of the staff so we asked him about it. Turns out our server was also the owner, Ben. That says everything about the owner that they are willing to jump out there and help their team and do the work. Ben was awesome! He was incredibly kind and so very humble. He told us that he moved to South Florida from NYC and planned on opening several other maman locations. I love everything about maman so I'm so happy for their success! We had a lovely brunch experience and I would highly recommend. We even got a selfie with Ben. Such a cool guy! Thanks for the hospitality Ben. Sorry for this super late review. Lol.

I was at maman this past weekend after the South Florida Seafood Festival. I told hubby since we were in the area, we had to stop by maman which was right around the corner. Literally made it there 10 minutes before closing and Yann was kind enough to accommodate my order for coffee and pastries, whatever was left. Haha. We got a Honey Lavender Latte, Espresso d'Orange, Kouign maman and Banana Walnut Bread. The Kouign maman is KING!!! I am obsessed with peeling the layers like a sideways fruit roll up. The flavor and caramelization was absolute perfection. Dare I say it's even better than Dominque Ansel's Kouign Amann which is the first time I ever had this pastry. OH EM GEEEEE!!! Don't skip on this. Next time I will stock up. Lol. Banana Walnut Bread was just ok, quite dry and not very moist as I had hoped.

Bonus: maman uses the InKind app. I got a $10 off $20 discount using my app. SCORE!!!

Everything I've had at maman:

* Dark Chocolate Orange Cubed Croissant
* Eggs Ratatouille
* Croque maman
* Everything Croissant & Salmon Sandwich
* Sangria Tropicale
* Mom-osa
* Bellini
* Frosé
* Honey Lavendar Latte
* Espresso d'Orange
* Kouign maman
* Banana Walnut Bread

maman has about 40 locations nationwide including NY, FL, NJ, CT, DC, MD, PA, Montreal and Toronto. Check them out. You won't be sorry!“

“Today, November 13, 2024, I decided to go out and have my first meal at the boulangerie. I've always seen good reviews about the place, although I was worried it would be expensive. To me, "expensive" implies something high priced with poor food and service. However, I had a great experience, especially because of the friendliness of all the waitresses, and Nahir L really makes the moment even better. The presentation of the dish, the flavor... for me, the price is fair for the experience there.

“My husband found this little gem and we went for brunch on our first day in Coral Gables. We struck gold! Not only was our server, Monica, a treat but so was the food. We went with two of her recommendations. The il piu italiano avo toast and mega mushroom omelette…so good!! I went back the next morning because I really wanted to try the don’t be a (lemon) tart French toast…another hit. And my server, Rashad, was another gem! I enjoyed the food, atmosphere and workers at Threefold, and would highly recommend you check this place out.“

“First time coming to Mimmo’s and we loved it! Very attentive service and out of this world delicious/ fresh food. We had the Italian and meatball subs and a tiramisu for dessert.. all were phenomenal. They also gave us a complimentary cheese tray which we enjoyed. We will definitely be coming back soon. :)“

“Buenísimo el mejor de Miami“

“First time here. Wonderful authentic food. Great staff, very welcoming to out-of-towners. Walked us through the menu and guided us to some amazing dishes. Will definitely be back next time we are in town. Try the Cuban sandwich, of course! The pork was lean, the flavors all blended together great, and with some crystal hot sauce, perfection! Erica had the ground beef sandwich which is a Cuban taken on sloppy joes with raisins and olives, absolutely delightful with their “pink sauce” garlic, spicy deliciousness. Come by soon and you’ll be here often!“

“Went out for brunch with my friends, Chris, our server, was incredibly kind, always smiling, and ready to joke around while making sure we had everything we needed. His recommendations were spot on, and he created such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It's the kind of service that makes you want to come back! Thanks, Chris, for the friendly and enjoyable experience !❤️“

“We took advantage of the day at the beach and went to lunch. The gluten-free proposal is excellent, especially the sweet stuff since it is not always well done and, in this case, what they produce is delicious. We tried the banana pudding and the carrot pudding, super delicious!
Attention 1000 points! The guys who served us are Argentinian and were super friendly, attentive at all times and fun.
I highly recommend this place ♥️ we need one in Argentina“

“Zak had been on my list since day one of my trip to Miami, and I finally made it there for brunch. The wait time was about 30 minutes, so I opted for a to-go order. Here’s what I tried:
• Avocado Toast: A well-curated dish. The thinly sliced onions, lime, and paprika dressing were a perfect combination.
• Tomato Bisque & Grilled Cheese Sandwich: Easily the best I’ve ever had. The sandwich was perfectly crisp, and the tomato dip elevated the flavors even further. I savored every bite.
• Mushroom Toast: This one didn’t hit the mark for me. The pairing of the bread with the mushrooms felt off, and the mushroom topping was excessively oily. The cheese didn’t complement the dish either. While it wasn’t terrible, it just wasn’t for me.
• Mango Cheesecake: Inspired by seeing others order it, I decided to give it a try—and I’m so glad I did. Every bite was delightful. The star fruit garnish was a pleasant surprise, adding a unique and delicious touch.

The ambience is bustling yet inviting, and the service was impressively quick. I also appreciated the eco-friendly packaging.

Finally, the Matcha Latte was a solid choice.

Overall, Zak is a must-visit if you’re in town!“

“Such it a nice experience . The owner was friendly and knowledgeable, guiding me to the perfect shake — creamy, delicious, and balanced. The teas were light and energizing, providing a healthy boost. With a welcoming atmosphere and a wide selection of nutrient-packed options, this spot is definitely worth a visit“

“Cute, old school neighborhood restaurant where all the locals go. The food and service was good, and had great prices. The atmosphere... It needs to be updated, but I liked it that way as it brought back good childhood memories for me. And even though it was outdated, everything was kept clean. No complaints from me. I'll definitely be going back!“

“Excellent new cafe in downtown stop by for lunch and their sandwich was excellent with the smoothie, the prices are good for the quality also the staff was very attentive would recommend for a quick visit, also the market is very well stock with a great selection“

“Excellent service and food!!!!!“

“We ended up here by total accident yesterday morning. We got off our cruise at 8 and our checkin wasn’t until 3…so we wandered around and I wanted a coffee and the 5-guys on the corner recommended them…so we went over and the iced coffee was so good that I had two…we saw their sandwich list but it was a bit early so we went over tonight for dinner and got two of the best sandwiches ever (and another cold coffee of course!). Such a nice place and such great service!!“

“The most wholesome cafe ever. Every details was simple perfection. The staff was pure bliss. The drink DIVINE! Do not think twice. GO!“

“Great tea & coffee; beaut brekkie with nice staff.“

“This cafe is a true gem. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the coffee is outstanding. It's the kind of place that makes you feel grateful to be alive. They use high-quality coffee beans and locally sourced chocolate, which really enhances the taste. I highly recommend it to everyone.“

“This is the cutest cafe and they offer top notch customer service. I came in at 12:15 (I had no idea they closed at 12:00). They still allowed me to order and gave me an extra side since I had driven quite a distance to specifically get their banana pudding French toast. It’s the best French toast in Miami!“

“Delicious food, great service, all my picky eaters were well fed!“

“Tried YES Cafe based on Google reviews, and was not disappointed. Hubby had the Breakfast Bowl and I had the Breakfast Burrito. 5/5“
