“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.“

“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!“

“What an amazing experience I had today at this bakery luckily for me it was their one year anniversary and the owner himself happened to be here What a great gentleman congratulations to him and his family keep striving for greatness - GARCIA“

“We found this restaurant by accident but we were sooooo glad we did! The food was SPECTACULAR. Everything tasted fresh, the burger was so juicy and flavorful, the Philly cheesesteak was so tender and filling. We tried the chai tea (it could use a bit more flavor/syrup) and the taro boba (which was good but they didn’t have the tapioca which would’ve made it so much better). Overall it was a great dining experience. We are looking forward to going again. Thank you!

Kid-friendliness: The store was decorated in Harry Potter decor for Halloween. It was super cute. They also had plenty desserts and a kid menu for smaller customers.“

“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 :)“

“Went out for brunch with my friends, Chris, our server, was incredibly kind, always smiling, and ready to joke around while making sure we had everything we needed.

Thanks, Chris, for the friendly and enjoyable experience !❤️“

“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.“

“Breakfast and lunch. The food was delicious, the ambience was cozy and service excellent. My party of 3 all agreed the music was too loud. We asked for it to be lowered a bit and they complied. A happy customer always returns. Looking forward to the next brunch.“

“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!“

“We were looking for a location to celebrate a post kindergarten graduation and MAWI was able to accommodate us during the week. All the kids and parents were very happy with the service, price, cleanliness, and overall decoration. The kids had a blast and we hope to come back again in the future. Thank you MAWI!“

“We took advantage of the day at the beach and went to lunch. The gluten-free proposal is excellent, especially the sweet stuff since it is not always well done and, in this case, what they produce is delicious. We tried the banana pudding and the carrot pudding, super delicious!
Attention 1000 points! The guys who served us are Argentinian and were super friendly, attentive at all times and fun.
I highly recommend this place ♥️ we need one in Argentina“

“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)!“

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

“This place feels super authentic and homey. You can just tell from the vibe as soon as you walk in. It’s a family-owned spot, and it shows in the care they put into everything. Leah was really nice to us, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a great spot if you want tasty Colombian food and a welcoming atmosphere!“

“Cute, old school neighborhood restaurant where all the locals go. The food and service was good, and had great prices. The atmosphere... It needs to be updated, but I liked it that way as it brought back good childhood memories for me. And even though it was outdated, everything was kept clean. No complaints from me. I'll definitely be going back!“

“One of my favorite spots for breakfast and lunch!

Food is very tasty, service is awesome, and prices are great as well. Atmosphere is also very enjoyable. I frequent this place often and it never disappoints. Must visit 🔥“

“The most wholesome cafe ever. Every details was simple perfection. The staff was pure bliss. The drink DIVINE! Do not think twice. GO!“

“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!“

“Excellent new cafe in downtown stop by for lunch and their sandwich was excellent with the smoothie, the prices are good for the quality also the staff was very attentive would recommend for a quick visit, also the market is very well stock with a great selection“

“Delicious food, great service, all my picky eaters were well fed!“

“Cute cafe in a hotel but it does have its own entrance. The ham and cheese empanada and almond croissant were both FIRE! So fresh and soft! Really delicious! Some of the best empanada crust I’ve had! Chicken empanada was just okay (filling flavor was a bit underwhelming) and my Americano was lukewarm.“
