“Los encontré en la canasta y déjeme decirle sus cakes son los más deliciosos que he probado.“

“I was working at a construction jobsite paving a parking lot and my boss brought food from here once. Every since I tried it, I've gone back every single day. I never get tired of the food here. El Rapido is run by two people and they absolutely slay every single plate they make.
As a son of Cuban parents, I get white rice, black beans, chicken breast with onions, and plátano maduro. I've never been a person that likes onions but almighty God himself must've instilled the gift of cooking into the man that makes this food cause holy hell I even eat the onions. I'm gonna miss this place when my jobsite is eventually completed, but who knows maybe I'll make the drive up here from Hialeah just to try the food.
Absolutely, 100% PLEASE give these fine people's food a try. If you're Cuban, this will remind you of home. If you're not Cuban and want to try Cuban food, THIS is the place you need to hit up. $10 a plate and you get a lot of food.
These two are the kindest couple I've ever seen run a restaurant. It's like that mom and pop shop type vibe you see in a movie like In the Heights. I just met these people but if anything were to happen to them I'm pretty sure I'd hurt someone.“

“conozco a mi jefe AVY Cohen“

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

“Went with the family for a late lunch/early dinner for Miami Spice. The food, service, and atmosphere was excellent. Our server Tefi was so sweet and provided some excellent recommendations. The manager Carolina was also amazing and we enjoyed the personable hospitality.“

“The quality of food is high, for that I recommend it. The reason I wouldn’t go back is that the staff just did not care we were there at all. Still waiting for them to ask how everything is… we came through last year and had a totally different experience staff was super friendly and engaged even though the place was packed. We caught them at turnover and they couldn’t care less. We talked about hitting craft as a high point for our one night in Miami before cruising… and now we won’t bother going back to Bayside.“

“Food was good but it was extremely hot inside therefore made it very uncomfortable because we were all sweating“

“Muy recomendado.. excelente ambiente, comida y amplio menu.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great service! Clemente was great!“

“TOMI is the best person at this restaurant. He was verh polite, and helped us with what to order and what is the best at the place. I am vegetarian so it always give hard to time find something for us but this place have the best hummus toast. I loved it. I also like the coffee and they have so many options to pick from. I suggest everyone to visit this restaurant at least once.. you all will like it“

“We had such a wonderful experience here, thanks to Lisette! She made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in and took such great care of us throughout our meal. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, the coffee rich and smooth, and the soup was full of flavor—comforting and authentic. Lisette’s friendly personality and attentive service really elevated the whole experience. We’ll definitely be coming back, and highly recommend this spot for anyone who wants great Cuban food with genuinely warm hospitality.“

“This has become my favorite place to come on a Saturday morning and enjoy a great breakfast. Not only their breakfasts are amazing, but the pastries are out of this world. The service always, always, is the best. Doesnt matter how many changes (not too many) we ask, they always try to accommodate it to the best of their capabilities. Jackie today went above and beyond, and helped any customization I requested with a big smile on her face. Places like this make it worth visiting each time.“

“Absolutely love this place, my go-to for coffee and panini. I’m going there for at least a year and can notice how they constantly improve little things making everything better. Absolutely love their tuna panini - it’s out of this world. Stuff is always very nice and thoughtful. Also it’s hard for me to find this good coffee in the area so definitely recommend them. Very authentic and totally worth the money“

“Love this place. Great soup and the Impossible empanadas are THE best. I go out of my way to get them!“

“Mi hija Lorena acertó al escoger este restaurant para darle la bienvenida a Carlen quien llegó desde California. La atención con Nati fue excelente y la comida espectacular acompañado de un ambiente color rosa que invita a una completa relajación . El postre espectacular ! Gracias Lorena creo que es digno de repetirse♥️“

“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!“

“The pastries here are absolutely delicious! Perfectly flaky, fresh, and full of flavor. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. The guava and cheese pastry is my favorite—it’s sweet, buttery, and melts in your mouth. Great service from Barbara and rest of the stuff very welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a must-visit if you love Cuban pastries!“

“Effe Cafe is a very convenient location. The service is excellent and the food is excellent! Support them!“

“The food was fantastic! The artichoke pizza was great. The texture of the base/pita bread was amazing. My favorite was the cabbage salad. It was unique and to die for if you love cabbage. The restaurant was not too loud. They sat us in a booth so we could sit side by side for date night. Nice but small wine selection. The cauliflower appetizer was just ok, a little too sweet for my tastes. Lamb kabob was good. The spicy salmon ceviche was really good. The service was excellent. No dress code was required.“

“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.“

“If you want a no frills, simple, exceptionally well priced, and good spot for breakfast or lunch then THIS IS FOR YOU!
I’ve had enough paying $25 for two scrambled eggs on avocado toast. The family and I stumbled into this place (actually had to search for it because it’s in what looked like a closed office building) and we are happy we did. The place is kind of like a time capsule from the decor to the wait staff and the prices.
Reason for the 4 stars is that some of the stuff that doesn’t get much attention seemed a bit dirty, like the blinds.“

“We found Gillis Subs online and knew immediately from the pictures it was going to be the best, most authentic food! We met Gili himself and he made the BEST Italian and Cuban I’ve ever had.. he’s an amazing man and makes some amazing food. 100% will be coming back!“

“Lilou is very amicable and offers great service. Loved the food there!“

“Food was delicious! Service was great, they don’t do reservations but they quickly got us a table for two for brunch on the weekend. Yuli was a great waitress, she took good care of us. Food came out rather quickly, so it was overall a nice experience with good food. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey, but hey, it is Miami.“

“Hands down, one of the best matchas I've ever had! You can really tell they put so much care and attention into everything they make. I've tried a few items from the menu so far, and each one is packed with incredible flavor. The matcha alone is enough to keep me coming back, and I can't wait to explore more of their offerings. Highly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates quality and flavor in every sip (or bite)!“

“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.“

“Best espresso ever !Chocante Mocha fantastic !“

“Maravilloso sitio y sobretodo la atención brindada al público es maravillosa, conozco el lugar de Madrid, pero cuando fui al de Miami quede encantada, me sentí en Madrid.“

“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.“

“We had the pleasure of meeting the owner while in Miami for a very quick visit with my son and his partner. This place is so cute and clean, and the sandwiches and coffee are absolutely amazing! I’m in LOVE with the Hot Honey Cubano! Will definitely visit on our next trip to Miami when we have more time to linger and relax in the deliciousness and atmosphere!“

“Very good place and wonderful attention and food“

“Excellent stop for MASSIVE sandwiches for my family. We had a few hours in Miami and wanted some good not-too-expensive food. This place fit the bill perfectly. The staff are very friendly and the portion sizes were massive. A great stop, highly recommended.“

“One of the most relaxing places to hang out in Miami, it's the second time I've come and I don't regret one in the afternoon and I ate an excellent hamburger and now in the morning a delicious breakfast with parents from the house, thanks to the brunette who treated me very kindly excellent“

“I went earlier today to get a coffee and got amazing customer service by Genesis, I told her I liked my coffee not to dark and on the sweeter side and she gave me exactly what I asked for, she was super sweet and very kind, I’ll definitely be coming back and will be recommending with friends and family. 😊“

“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.“

“Amazing place! Must come!!!“
