Versailles serves the best coffee I have ever had. We went back two days in a row and took our time enjoying a cortadito and pastel guayaba at the counter. I recommend the freshly squeezed orange juice as well.There is a steady stream of customers and a vibrant energy to the whole experience. The staff is attentive and efficient. Lauren took great care of us both days. She was the best! It is worth it to stay for a bit and enjoy the ambience rather than taking coffee to go. If you are in Miami, you don't want to miss this spot!

One of my favorite places to get Cuban coffee. I always grab a colada (all for me) and a pastel guayaba. This is located outside the restaurant so it is easy to go to the window and order.

La Ventanita is the window that serve Coffee and Pastries, they have the best cortadito that I ever had, and the price is very cheap only $4.84 for 3 cortaditos. The guava pastries and cheese rolls are also very good.

Scheduled a Cruise out of Miami for us to Get Away & Relax we did just that in our transportation to Versailles. Since Carnival would not let me bring the Vette-Jet, we had to get some type of transportation to get around Miami. I was hoping to see James Crockett and borrow his Ferrari Daytona Spyder but I think he moved to San Francisco, changed his name to Nash Bridges and is driving a bright Yellow Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda' (that would also do just fine) - So, with the help from Karen (front desk of our Hotel) I scheduled a Driver to pick us up in a Mercedes and we Relaxed all the way to Versailles - nothing but Class for my Baby. When at the Restaurant, we checked in with the Hostess, who happens to be set up outside by the Front Door with a lot of people all around the patio. Name is on the list and our wait time is only a few minutes. Versailles not only has this Awesome Restaurant, but on the Open Patio they also have a Very Nice Outside Bar - and they also have a Walk-Up Coffee Window where you can obtain their Famous 'Cuban Cafecito', a small shot of Coffee with a sweet, luscious topping called 'la crema' - and that's not all - they also have ''Versailles Bakery" where they sell Pastries, Breads & Desserts made from scratch - and if that isn't enough, they also have "Cafe Versailles" located in Concourse 'D' at Miami International Airport. The Restaurant is open from 8am until Midnight and on Fri & Sat until 1am. This place is Very Popular. Soon our name was called and we where shown to our table. Versailles is Huge inside and our table is in the front part of the restaurant. Upon seating we were handed Menus to look over and soon Liset, our Server, came over. Placed out drink order - "Mojitos" - because when in Miami you order Mojitos. We were looking over the Menus when Lisa brought out our drinks and also waters. There is a lot on the Menu here and it's hard trying to decide - but we did. My Wife is having the "Versailles Salad"; with Chicken Breast, mixed Field Greens with Mango, Candied Pecans & Goat Cheese tossed in a Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette. I am going with their "Imperial Rice"; Rice cooked with Saffron & Deboned Chicken, Mayonnaise, Roasted Red Bell Peppers, Hard Boiled Egg & Green Peas. Served with Sweet Plantains - topped off with Swiss Cheese. While we waited for our food one does a little 'people watching', especially in a city you haven't been to in a while. In, San Angelo you see a lot of Cowboy Hats but none here in Miami. We toasted to 'us' and the Mojitos is the right choice - Very Tasty and Strong on the Mint - and I might ad, Versailles serves Beautiful Mojitos - and it's really good. Soon our food arrived and both plates are a Beautiful Presentation of Deliciousness. My Wife's 'Versailles Salad' has the Chicken Breast all spread out across the top of the Salad - and it's Huge. It looks like it could be a 'Chicken Steak' - and she said it was Tender-Licious and very Flavorful. The Fresh Greens are Delicious and the Candied Pecans are Crunchy-Sweet with the Goat Cheese the only way to go on this Salad. She enjoyed it all. I wanted to try something different and this 'Imperial Rice' is just that. The Swiss Cheese on top is like a Thick Blanket, and I mean THICK - it's Swisslylicious and Very Unique. The Rice is flavorful with all the nice size Deboned Chicken throughout. Their Sweet Plantains are the Best in Miami, even though I have not tried every place in Miami that serves them, but I cannot fathom any place that would be better than this. We finished it all and had no room for Dessert - and I know it would of been Delicious. Liset earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for all that she did - and this place was Really Busy. Right when someone leaves their table, a staff member cleans it up, resets it and the next Customer is shown to their table. Nicely organized. The back room is mo
We only had 48 hours in Miami and we wanted the best Cuban sandwich out there. We had heard from multiple people to to go here. The sandwich was a complete disappointment. The pickles were sliced, so thin and they were so few of them they might as well not been on the sandwich because you couldn’t taste them. Zero mustard on the sandwich. Bread was dry and hard. try somewhere else!!!
In the Miami airport we wanted to try the pastries and coffee. Very pleased very fresh. I would recommend patronizing this business.
