“We happened upon this cafe when in Key Biscayne for the morning. Great service, lovely setting, and delicious food! We sat outside with a nice breeze and aerial fans that kept us comfortable even with the summer heat. I had The Salty (pictured) and my friend had the eggs benedict. Both were great! we also used the wifi and were able to get some work stuff done as well.“

“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“

“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.“

“Special👏👏👏!!! brunch Thanks“

“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!“

“Great variety of healthy foods, freshly made, tasted delicious and staff were so warm, welcoming and accomodating. Highly recommend!“

“Buenísimo el mejor de Miami“

“Met a friend at Novela Cafe Social to catch up and it was the perfect spot. We had a cappuccino, a matcha latte, and a breakfast focaccia— all fresh, well made, and really enjoyable.

Staff were friendly, specially the lady that runs the food to the tables.

Relaxed, clean Wynwood vibe that makes you want to stay and chat. Great coffee, good food, and an easy place to spend time with friends.“

“TOMI is the best person at this restaurant. He was verh polite, and helped us with what to order and what is the best at the place. I am vegetarian so it always give hard to time find something for us but this place have the best hummus toast. I loved it. I also like the coffee and they have so many options to pick from. I suggest everyone to visit this restaurant at least once.. you all will like it“

“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.“

“Buena comida , excelente servicio brindado por Daliana .“

“Best espresso ever !Chocante Mocha fantastic !“

“Waw....the croissants were amazing, beautiful, delicious and authentic. Yummy!“

“I just moved back into Coconut Grove and this is going to be my daily stop. Not only is the place cozy and beautiful,
filled with fantastic wines, gourmet foods, original local artwork and even cute clothes, but the food was delicious. I had a melted mozzarella and tomato sandwich on ciabatta bread and it was divine. I also had a homemade flan that would make my Cuban grandmother, proud.

I’ll be back soon!“

“Food was excellent - service was great! Had been to the opening event of flagship in NYC and loved it (press event with a friend) - was in Miami for a concert and wanted to take my boyfriend there. We loved the food & the vibe of the place. Everything is prepared with great care. Service is top notch - although I would have preferred to have both our dishes be brought to the table at the same time. My boyfriend was served his about 4 - 5 minutes before my food came out & I had ordered a beat salad. We had a great time!“

“First time I've had ACTUAL Cuban coffee since being in Havana. All the staff was great and easily corrected a minor problem. We could've gone to Bayside but walked here instead. I'll be back when we get off the boat for another coffee before returning home.“

“One of the most delicious and unique flavored meals I've had. Wanted to try entire menu after first small plate. Thinking of my return. Charmingly small. Very focused and intentional food in casual atmosphere and reasonable price. Wine by the glass a bit limited selection, cocktail list fun but less serious and unique in production than the food.“

“Food was delicious! Service was great, they don’t do reservations but they quickly got us a table for two for brunch on the weekend. Yuli was a great waitress, she took good care of us. Food came out rather quickly, so it was overall a nice experience with good food. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey, but hey, it is Miami.“

“It was nice to sit outside. I felt a little rushed to order, but the staff was fine. The freshness of the sandwich was good. The menu isn’t straight forward and not easily readable until you are closer or tall. People congregate inside of the small area waiting for their food and it is congested.“

“Karmelo and I love it here he gets his creamy pup cup and I enjoy The crème brûlée pancakes. Sean is amazing and gave us amazing service. The wait time is about 20-25 minutes, but they have all kinds of toys and cards to play with in your wait time.“

“Café Branca is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The attention to detail in the décor, the cleanliness, and the overall ambiance speaks volumes about the pride they take in their space.

The food is exceptional—beautifully prepared, thoughtfully presented, and full of flavor. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee or settling down for a full meal, everything on the menu feels crafted with care. Their coffee is rich and perfectly balanced, and the pastries taste fresh and homemade. You can tell quality ingredients are a priority here.

Café Branca has quickly become one of my favorite spots—perfect for casual meetings, getting work done, or simply relaxing with a cup of coffee. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a standout café experience.“

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

“Maravilloso sitio y sobretodo la atención brindada al público es maravillosa, conozco el lugar de Madrid, pero cuando fui al de Miami quede encantada, me sentí en Madrid.“

“☕🥪🧊🎶When attending the launch party for Davies’ new novel, the café truly delivered—from the warm pre-reception to the well-catered and smoothly run afterparty. The staff was attentive, the spread was great, and the price point was fair and filling. My only feedback? It would be great to have fountain sodas—a few of us were definitely craving those Coke Zero refills to keep the pages turning. Also worth noting: they host live music, which is a nice touch, though it can get a bit loud depending on where you’re seated.“

“Excelente servicio y una excelente presentación y sabor♥️👏🏼🍳🙌🏽🇺🇸🇨🇴☕️🎊“

“Incredible bakery in the Wynnwood area of Miami. I have been looking forward to going to this bakery for a while based upon it’s reviews, and the food is amazing. Large on-site bakery produces some unique items and fresh bread. I had an almond croissant that was very good. Highly recommended.“

“We visited from NC and DC. The place is amazing and we loved the food and service, though the service is a bit slower than expected but they were pretty busy, so we understand the delay. The presentation of the food was great a well. We visited the place a couple of time through our stay. The establishment is a chain and other places are great as well.“

“Excellent stop for MASSIVE sandwiches for my family. We had a few hours in Miami and wanted some good not-too-expensive food. This place fit the bill perfectly. The staff are very friendly and the portion sizes were massive. A great stop, highly recommended.“

“Run and owned by an incredible young Cuban-American woman with great passion for what she does! Love the concept! Elevated barista, mobile ventanita experience done incredibly well!!“

“The food here is delish! You honestly can’t go wrong with anything you get here. Highly recommend their croissants though! My server, Merlon, was also friendly, knowledgeable, and meticulous. Thank you for providing an excellent experience!“

“We had the pleasure of meeting the owner while in Miami for a very quick visit with my son and his partner. This place is so cute and clean, and the sandwiches and coffee are absolutely amazing! I’m in LOVE with the Hot Honey Cubano! Will definitely visit on our next trip to Miami when we have more time to linger and relax in the deliciousness and atmosphere!“

“Really enjoyed eating here! The place is so cute and relaxing and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the Whitman smoothie 👌“

“We swung by this morning and the door traffic wasn’t that bad at all, typical 10 minute wait for our food, everything was fresh and warm. The French toast is served AS advertised!! Decided to stay inside for a while and eat and a young lady named Antionette made sure all our needs were taken care of. I would certainly recommend them if you are looking for a at home like meal. Hard part now is driving home after eating that much food.“

“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.“

“Very good place and wonderful attention and food“

“This place is a great new addition to the area. It has great food, especially the healthy but savory salads. My favorite is the Halloumi Salad, a great combination of lentils, cheese, sweet potatoes, avocado and greens.
They also have breakfast and deli items such as omelet, sandwiches (regular and mini sizes) and empanadas.
On the sweet side, they have a great assortment of regular and mini desserts that you can try without feeling guilty about breaking your diet!
The decoration and ambiance are both beautiful and relaxing.
A great place to have brunch, lunch or an afternoon coffee break!“

“Spotted this place walking by and popped in for brunch. There was a short wait with an appealing fall menu. Our server, Eduardo, had a great personality. He made the experience enjoyable. Highly recommend visiting if you need a quick bite while shopping!“

“Truly beautiful place. Excellent food.
However, service was “interesting”:
one person forgot our request, another brought wrong order, it took us time to get someone to get us 2nd cup of coffee. Interesting.
Focusing on the good:
Views are great and food is really good.“

“I have been going to the kobo cafe since 2023 and I have to say it’s always a great experience I’m a regular and Tanya always gives me excellent service her coffee is to die for and she has such an amazing personality and Donald is always quick with his service as well all in all I give the kobo a 10 out of 10 great place to pass by before you go to the beach.“

“I tried this place for the first time a few months ago and ever since then I’ve gone back every Saturday to eat there. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is always friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is great and the prices aren’t crazy.

Honestly, would recommend it to anybody in Miami. It’s gonna be hard to find a better place!“

“Really good coffee and great pastries!“

“Excellent service and food!!!!!“
