20 Best Cafes in Miami

“We stumbled upon this place looking for a coffee, but had the best meals! The mango danish 10/10, coconut macaroons 10/10, grilled cheese and tomato bisque 10/10. We already made a future reservation to come back. It’s crowded, so get there early or reserve a spot online!“

“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!!!

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Comida muy rica y lugar agradable“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“Big shout out to Antonio & Claudio for exceptional service. They gave my girlfriend and I a walkthrough of the menu, told us the best times to arrive for co-working access, served a mean cappuccino, and held a great conversation. Highly recommended!“

“Buenísimo el mejor de Miami“

“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!“
