50 Best Cafes in Miami

“Es un lugar de música electrónica muy especial“

“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.“

“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!“

“It was a Saturday morning the first time I came to Caracas Bakery and I gotta be honest, I was so frustrated as it was so busy, I decided to leave and dine somewhere else, just because I didn’t want to wait in line.

I decided to give them a second chance, this time it was after a beach day early in a Saturday afternoon, there were some empty chairs this time, and it couldn’t go any better. I loved it!!

I had their flat white, perfectly balanced and with the right intensity coming through, priced pretty competitively.

I got to sample their turkey egg croissant and the breakfast sandwich. They were both great, but that breakfast sandwich was next level.

I couldn’t resist to have a dessert before leaving so I went for the cream Danish, it was delicious. The guava and cheese danish is on my list for next time.

All in all, I loved it and will repeat it pretty soon.“

“This is the best boba place I’ve tried so far, I would say top 5.

The flavors are just right not too sweet or too sour, the combination of fruits sweetness mixes well with the tea.

You can add as much boba as you want, I’m looking forward to their milk teas.
We ordered one lychee fruit tea with 2 scoops of boba
And a passion fruit tea.
Delicious!! 10/10“

“Home away from home, a refuge.“

“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.“

“We came here for a wedding rehearsal dinner and had the most wonderful experience. The staff went above and beyond—helping take photos, checking in frequently to make sure the bride and groom were happy, and making the whole evening feel special. The Cuban food was absolutely delicious—authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend for any special occasion or just a great meal!“

“An old/established American food venue frequented by Miami Beach locals.“

“Comida muy rica y lugar agradable“

“We were in town after a 2 hour drive and just stopped by craving some cuban food. I found this little cafe, and my daughters and I had a great lunch with the owners, who are some wonderful people. We felt at home, shared stories, a great meal, and, of course, the required desert with cuban cortadito. Thank you, Alberto and your lovely wife, for the great hospitality you showed us.“

“The place is super cute and warm. The waitres are very nice. The food was good ( USA food never compare it to Europe) because i saw coments talking about food are not fresh. This US people all our food are like that. They have a nice varity of Italian/ Spanish kind of food. And the final cortadito named Bombon is delicius. Price is fair Miami prices of course . If you can’t pay or do not like Miami prices then don’t go out. People do not pay attemtion to one or two start review. That’s not true.“

“Great place for coffee, pastries 🥮 and bread 🥖..“

“An old/established American food venue frequented by Miami Beach locals.“

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

“awesome food great service.“

“Great all around experience. Started a little off with mis-charges to my credit card, but Luisa the manager rectified it quickly and was very professional and helpful. Our assigned server Edgar continued the top notch service, and was attentive the whole time even while running food and stock back and forth to the main hotel (appreciate the hustle.) Getting the cabana is worth it if you're looking for the added privacy and service. Guacamole was A1 (add the fresh tuna, it's worth it!) and the lobster Mac and cheese which is based on the chef's lobster bisque was a creamy explosion of flavor and included actual chunks of lobster claw. Pool area is family friendly. Keep this in mind if you're looking for a more adults only day party vibe. Would def consider coming back if visiting the Miami area.“

“Best food I’ve eat since I’ve been in America never mind Miami. Great service, great food not a bad word to say about this place other than it shut on Sunday when I’m hungover !!! Best food don’t think twice about coming here you will NOT regret it!“

“Buenísimo el mejor de Miami“

“Nice smiling faces! felt nice and welcome! Thank you“

“They’re food is so good 😊“

“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!“

“We stopped by for Nutella crepes after trying one at Apropo Crepes and throwing it in the garbage in disappointment. This one was great… taste of crepes, real Nutella inside and very generous filling… overall score 10 of 10. Thank you for fulfilling our craving for real Europian crepes :)“

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

“Best. Sandwiches. In. Kendall. These guys have been here since I can remember! They are a west kendall institution and are a great hometown business to support! I've been coming for 25 years to order a #13 with a cafecito! You should too and bring a friend because the portions are as real as the food being prepared fresh in front of you.“

“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.“

“This is the GO TO SPOT! Need to study with delicious snacks and drinks? GET RIGHT. Need to vent about life like you would to your hair dresser? GET RIGHT!

“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.“

“Finally found the perfect Cuban pizza Que Rico!! The masa is so fresh and it is not greasy. So delicious and the wait time is not bad at all. Good service and amazing food. The guayaba juice was great also, very natural and you can tell no extra sugar is added. Coming back very soon!“

“Excellent service and food!!!!!“

“Been having my lunch here for years. This place has all the classic deli sandwiches. Made fresh right in front of you. The employees are always friendly and professional.
