50 Best Cafes near Miami Gardens

“This is a great spot to grab traditional style. Cuban pastries, sandwiches, and a café on Leche. Add traditional Miami prices. It's quick, it's fast, and they're always busy because their pastries are pretty darn good. I highly recommend that if you're looking to buy up a party platter or just grab a quick coffee and a pastry“

“Very delicious. The food was amazing. Very special“

“Went with the family for a late lunch/early dinner for Miami Spice. The food, service, and atmosphere was excellent. Our server Tefi was so sweet and provided some excellent recommendations. The manager Carolina was also amazing and we enjoyed the personable hospitality.“

“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!“

“What an amazing experience I had today at this bakery luckily for me it was their one year anniversary and the owner himself happened to be here What a great gentleman congratulations to him and his family keep striving for greatness - GARCIA“

“We found this restaurant by accident but we were sooooo glad we did! The food was SPECTACULAR. Everything tasted fresh, the burger was so juicy and flavorful, the Philly cheesesteak was so tender and filling. We tried the chai tea (it could use a bit more flavor/syrup) and the taro boba (which was good but they didn’t have the tapioca which would’ve made it so much better). Overall it was a great dining experience. We are looking forward to going again. Thank you!

Kid-friendliness: The store was decorated in Harry Potter decor for Halloween. It was super cute. They also had plenty desserts and a kid menu for smaller customers.“

“Hands down, one of the best matchas I've ever had! You can really tell they put so much care and attention into everything they make. I've tried a few items from the menu so far, and each one is packed with incredible flavor. The matcha alone is enough to keep me coming back, and I can't wait to explore more of their offerings. Highly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates quality and flavor in every sip (or bite)!“

“Effe Cafe is a very convenient location. The service is excellent and the food is excellent! Support them!“

Leah was really nice to us, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a great spot if you want tasty Colombian food and a welcoming atmosphere!“

“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!“

“My daughter wanted macaroons on her bday cake. We've tried a few places in the area, but this place had the best variety! I got 12 different flavors and they still had some flavors we didn't try this time. They were beautiful and tasted great! I went right when they opened on a Thursday, very polite. We will definitely come again“

“After finishing a 5K with friends, we decided to reward ourselves—and Upper Tea delivered a post-run feast that left us stuffed. We came in with big appetites and even bigger expectations—and they were met.

I ordered the beef sausage bowl with grits (for me), the catfish bowl with grits and eggs (for my husband), a side of smothered chicken, and French toast—because, why not indulge? My husband and I shared the chicken and French toast, and even after everyone dug in, we still left behind enough food to feed three to four people. The portions are no joke—come ready!

The food? Flavor-packed. The catfish was a tad salty, but not enough to stop my husband from clearing his plate. The sausage was decent, but those grits—creamy, cheesy, and savory—were next-level good. The French toast had a perfectly crisp edge and just the right amount of sweetness. Every bite felt like comfort food elevated.

Our drinks—both the tea special and a custom tea mix—were sweet at first, but after letting the ice melt a bit, they hit that perfect, refreshing balance.

And let’s talk about service—Jeniyah (I hope I spelled her name right!) was an absolute gem. She was so sweet, constantly checked in on us, reassured us that our food was on the way, and apologized for the short wait—which, honestly, wasn’t bad at all considering how many of us there were. To top it all off, the chef came out to personally greet us and ask how everything tasted. That kind of hospitality goes a long way.

The ambiance was charming and cozy, with vintage touches like an old-fashioned pay phone, record player, and classic tea sets that made the whole experience feel like a hidden gem. Now although you can dine-in, this is more pay for what you want at the register and everything comes in a To go bag at your table. I didn’t mind that because it made it easy for taking left over home but it didn’t seem very welcoming to sit and eat.

Upper Tea isn’t just a meal—it’s a moment. From the grits to the heartfelt hospitality, this place is a must-visit. Bring your appetite and your friends—you’ll leave full in every sense of the word.“

“I love Loca Mocha I only go 5days a week lol. Mrs Silvia is the best her hospitality is amazing. Phil sure knows his way around the kitchen he makes everything with love. I look forward to our brief convos while waiting for the best protein shake in the world. And lunch at the cafe is a must great food at affordable prices.“

“My fiance and I are on vacation and we picked this random spot to get a sandwhich and the sandwhiches were really good. I just got a simple turkey and my fiance got the cuban. Food is excellent, the owner is excellent. We discussed his back story while our food was cooking and discussed where we are from. Overall great place!“

“The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was wonderfully delicious with a great mixture of tastes and textures.“

“It doesn’t get much better than Taste of the City. I have been coming here for many years. The food and I had about everything is always hot, fresh and delicious. The owner Debra is one of the nicest and most genuine people you can ever meet. I can eat anywhere from the Hard Rock, Ft. Lauderdale to Miami Beach but I prefer to come here. I have been very lucky this have this great restaurant within walking distance. The waitress is always friendly and keeps everything moving smoothly. Your drink is never empty. I only wish they were open for dinner. But then again Debra and the stuff need the time to rest. And we should or at least I should. Take Debra to dinner for having such a wonderful place. And really this is the place where everyone knows your name.“

“was very impressed with the bagels..will definitely try them again“

“Excellent food , outstanding service. The manager ( Dee ) is amazing at keeping it all functioning, even when they’re slammed , as is usually the case Recommend to all“

“Very cute cafe! This place is clean and bright with lots of options for breakfast, lunch, pastries and snacks. I got the Veggie wrap, it was delicious with quinoa and avocado and veggies. The sugar free vanilla latte is delish! The staff was very friendly and helpful!“

“The staff is friendly and attentive, and they make you feel right at home. I especially appreciate how clean and well-kept everything is.if you’re looking for a great place to grab a coffee or spend some quiet time, I highly recommend this café!“

“The best in town. Fresh amazing affordable lunch dishes. I only eat here for lunch!“

“One of the most relaxing places to hang out in Miami, it's the second time I've come and I don't regret one in the afternoon and I ate an excellent hamburger and now in the morning a delicious breakfast with parents from the house, thanks to the brunette who treated me very kindly excellent“

“Amazing place! Must come!!!“

“If you want to eat in a hidden gem in the heart of Hialeah, look no further. The croqueta preparada is exceptional, la ropa vieja, las masitas de puerco, the mahi etc.. I’ve gone bake numerous times to keep trying other dishes. The dulce de leche and bon bon cafe is the only way to end your meal. Nothing but praise for this restaraunt and great service.“

“Had an amazing experience at Family Fresh Cafe in Miami, thanks to our wonderful waitress, Svitlana. She was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and helpful with menu recommendations. Her warm personality and genuine care made our meal truly enjoyable. Excellent service—highly recommend requesting Svitlana when you visit!“

“Best coffee and service. Move over Starbucks!!“

“Excellent food and outstanding service. I have been enjoying Dano's homemade meals for a couple of years and I can not say enough about it. Almost every morning I go for cafesito and empanadas or facturas. They always greet customers with a smile and positive energy. We are treated like family not customers. Thank Dano's family for bringing us a little piece of home with every meal.“

“This place never disappoints with the vibes and the delicious food. The cakes were my niece approved (she’s 3), and the coffee felt elevated. We tried the Basque cheesecake and the cinnamon cake. 😋 The restaurant itself is easily a place anyone can spend hours at reading or just unwinding.“
