My personal experience. Bad service…. Very limited items. Incredible overpriced. No parking…. Not worth the drive or the 2 minute walk.

I ordered a freshly squeezed orange juice, which turned out not to be fresh at all, and a separate Double Espresso so I could make my own Orange Espresso. The total was $12.
The only extra thing I asked from the Coffee Lady was a large plastic cup with ice to mix the drinks together, since this option is not on their menu. Instead of simply accommodating a paying customer, she responded rudely and told me that large plastic cups are only for people who order an Iced Coffee. If I wanted to mix my drinks myself, she said I could only have a small plastic cup.
This behavior is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. When a customer already spends $12 on drinks, providing a large cup costs the business nothing, yet apparently their staff prefers to argue and be dismissive rather than provide basic service. Unfortunately, this kind of attitude shows that personal arrogance takes priority over customer satisfaction.

Excellent coffee, pastries and service!
Occasionally if you go on an early morning, the girls are rude but for the most part they’re friendly, tasty food, cute shop. Confusing parking situation and a little overpriced (prices DO NOT match what’s listed on the website). I come here consistently and only get the tuna sandwich. I was forced to get a Turkey sandwich and a cáprese once and was not disappointed. Anything you get here is tasty.
Not a great spot for working or reading. The acoustics are terrible but it’s definitely a cute date spot.
Update: I’m definitely a regular here. The parking is free and I will not buy croissants from anywhere else 🥐

The croissant had gratuitous amounts of Nutella - almost too much. But for the price, a good deal. Just be careful to have a fork and knife before chowing down!
Ah, Ficelle. A name that evokes the elegance of French patisseries and the promise of buttery bliss. What I expected was a charming post-gym indulgence with my mother and child—a well-earned treat after an hour of tireless lunges and self-restraint. What I received, however, was a lesson in disappointment so bitter it should be served with espresso and a warning label.
Let us set the scene: I walk into Ficelle, glistening slightly with the dignified glow of exertion, child in hand, mother in tow. My spirits? High. My expectations? Reasonable, yet hopeful. I survey the display of pastries like a general assessing the battlefield. I point—nay, commit—to a sweet treat, a modest yet promising delight. This was to be a small joy, a reward for discipline.
Instead, I was served a heaping portion of culinary betrayal.
First offense: the service. Lukewarm, perfunctory, bordering on dismissive. No greeting, no smile, no hint of hospitality. We were not customers—we were inconveniences. I wasn’t asking for a red carpet, but an acknowledgment of our presence might’ve sufficed.
Second, and most egregious: the treat itself. What should have been a divine little morsel—flaky, rich, lovingly made—was stale, dry, and criminally overpriced. Imagine my horror as I bit into something with the texture of week-old biscotti and the soul of an unloved granola bar. My mother’s expression said it all: bewilderment. My child? Unimpressed and sticky.
Is Ficelle under the impression that ambiance alone can make up for mediocrity? That a few artfully placed marble countertops and lavender sprigs can distract from the fact that their pastries taste like regret wrapped in parchment?
In conclusion, I arrived at Ficelle a hopeful patron. I left a disillusioned critic, a child tugging at my sleeve and a mother quietly whispering, “We should’ve gone somewhere else.”
Ficelle, consider this your wake-up call. The next time I seek a post-workout treat, I’ll walk past your doors—and into a bakery that remembers what joy tastes like.
One star, and that’s for the door, which at least opened when I pushed it.

We are visiting Miami and happened upon Ficelle’s. We walked in and ordered two treats to take back to our hotel and two coffees. We ordered the strawberry cream eclair and the carrot cake. Oh my goodness, they were delicious! If we’re back in Miami, we’ll be sure to stop by! Thank you!

We dropped by Ficelle Bakery after lunch at Tanuki’s, looking for a little sweet treat, and wow, that almond chocolate croissant blew us away! I got the chocolate éclair while my dad grabbed the croissant, and we both agreed it was hands-down the best croissant we’ve ever had.

This French bakery is amazing. The Caprese sandwich is super fresh, with homemade bread that makes a big difference.
Their croissants are some of the best I’ve had — buttery, flaky, and baked perfectly. My favorite is the Nutella croissant.
They also have fresh-squeezed orange juice, which is a really nice touch.
Everything tastes fresh and made with care. Highly recommend.

Best bakery in Miami. We drive 20 minutes for a croissant and it's totally worth it. Everything they sell at this place is mouthwatering. The sandwiches, the pastries, the baguettes....ohhhh, I just came home from Ficelle and every time my only regret is not having taken more food with me to last me for days. This place is a jewel ❤️
