Tinta Y Cafe - Miami Shores

On the most costly side of things but you get great quality and service. Some of the best pastries I've had! Buttery and always warm which is a nice touch. The plate (pictured) I got with no toast add bacon which cost $3 more. $8.50 for just huevones & tostada. Great cookies with flavors that rotate. Chic, Cuban family inspired interior with exterior seating. Nice coffee shop/brunch vibe. I have come back for their wonderful pastelitos!

I don’t feel like it’s fair to give the establishment an overall bad rating because I didn’t get any service. But this rating is more so because of the initial treatment and lack of information. Simply wanted to share for any first timers like myself … Im disappointed b/c I was greeted with a very weird vibe… I don’t know if I missed a sign or memo … but no electronics are allowed as the waiter told me after I sat, so not a place to enjoy a cafe while working or studying, FYI…

Even though there was a gentleman across from me with a iPad but I digress…

Either way I just left peacefully out of respect for the rules. Plenty of places in the area that aren’t as such…. I just truly think there’s a better way to let the public know via website, google, etc.. as it’s in the heart of a touristic area…

Disappointed!

I AM SURE everything on their menu is incredibly delicious, but I am married to El Guajiro sandwich accompanied with a dirty chai oat latte. It is my go- to every time I am there, and it always leaves me feeling amazing and ready to take on the day. I love their no electronics policy and because of this- it is my go- to meet up spot to catch up with friends and family. The service is lovely and rather quick, even when the place begs to you to take your time. I have loved Tinta y Cafe since they were open in Coral Gables and it made me even happier when they opened the Miami Shores location which was in desperate need of real cuban flavors and deliciousness.

The food at Tinta y Café is genuinely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Unfortunately, my experience was soured both times by the same rude and confrontational Brazilian server. Great food isn’t enough when the service makes you feel unwelcome. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

We come all the way from key Biscayne because we like the place. We understand that on the weekend it’s busy but today the service was upsetting.. we waited a long time to get our coffee (which was not on point today - usually is), never got our juice until almost paying the Bill and were kind of sitting around waiting for service. Had to take the juice to go and we’re charged for it. You guys are much better than that!

I want to express my disappointment With the redhead manager (I believe her name is Maria) at the Miami Shores location. I almost felt as if she pressured us to tip and when we didn’t, she asked us why we didn’t tip and if the service was bad . We are short on money and could not afford to tip but we still want to enjoy good food.

Overall is a great place to go to with delicious food and great atmosphere but we want there to be an understanding That tipping is not mandatory. It is something that is an additional offering for good service but if we are asked to tip or they insinuate that we need to tip is disrespectful and it makes you feel uncomfortable or Pressured.

I don’t wanna shine just a bad light on the food again is great. It’s delicious. The atmosphere is like your grandmother‘s house.

They’re not pet-friendly. They literally kicked me out and told me to consume outside, but there were no tables available. There was no sign or notice indicating that pets are not allowed

I ordered a coffee and was suddenly surrounded by staff telling me to put my laptop away or leave. Then they called me rude for asking why. So I left.
Of course they can have any policy they like but such a strange one should be well advertised before someone orders.and don’t be surprised that I’m surprised.

Service was great. Sandwiches didn't disappoint. Best colada I've had in a while.
The flan was okay, I've had better. But everything else was enjoyable.
