50 Best Cafes near Miami Shores

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Muy recomendado.. excelente ambiente, comida y amplio menu.“

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

“The atmosphere was amazing with outdoor sitting and ALSO free WiFi. Helen, our waitress was amazing! Really friendly and always on checking on the experience. There are a variety of juices like the Novela juice that contains ginger and turmeric so healthy choices definitely!“

“Great service! Clemente was great!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I’ve been a couple times and tried Dulce de leche French toast, omelettes and today we gave the French breakfast Burrito a try, it was absolutely amazing ? plus Sabrina was so attentive and friendly. This became my happy brunch place def ✨“

“Estuve ahí hace unos meses, es cierto que a veces el servicio demora, pero hay tantos detalles relacionados con Garcia Márquez y su Macondo, que te sientes bien…!!! MILDRED Legra“

“This is the best take on Israeli food I've tried in the US so far, and that says a lot... Everything was delicious, especially the hummus & pita (which are so hard to get right!) and the Jerusalem bagel. Please open Motek in the bay area!“

“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 !❤️“

“This is a happy place! Service and kava, kratom drinks are excellent. Welcoming atmosphere. Dog friendly. Located in a bike shop, so if you like bikes, they’re all around. Great place to hang out with friends and make new ones.

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level. No step up.“

“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.“

“Fun place! Beautiful decor based on roses…romantic and sweet. Had a breakfast meeting there-good coffee and breakfast menu!“

“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!“

“Best espresso ever !Chocante Mocha fantastic !“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

I recommend this place to all lovers of good food and excellent service. I will definitely be back soon!“

“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.“

“Came here for a quick lunch, greeted and served by Rommel he was kind. And did a great job with our food, we ordered the steak taco bowl, the portion was great for the price I was stuffed in the end. And it was delicious, the rice and meat was seasoned. There was aircon aswell which was lovely. Defo recommend!“

“Excellent service and food!!!!!“

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

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