50 Best Cafes near Palmetto Bay

“Excellent service and food highly recommended ‼️“

“BEST Cuban food in Miami!!!!“

“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.“

“Special👏👏👏!!! brunch Thanks“

“My wife and I were visiting for a wedding when we found this gem of a breakfast spot. Absolutely sensational. Ambience is super neat, reminds me of something you’d actually see in Paris! Food was incredible, avocado toast with smoked salmon was delectable and the cappuccinos were two of the best I’ve had. Paola and Adriana were incredible as well and took great care of us. 10/10 would recommend this place and wish they had one in Tampa!“

“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“

“My husband found this little gem and we went for brunch on our first day in Coral Gables. We struck gold! Not only was our server, Monica, a treat but so was the food. We went with two of her recommendations. The il piu italiano avo toast and mega mushroom omelette…so good!! I went back the next morning because I really wanted to try the don’t be a (lemon) tart French toast…another hit. And my server, Rashad, was another gem! I enjoyed the food, atmosphere and workers at Threefold, and would highly recommend you check this place out.“

“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!“

“I had such a great experience at this café! The atmosphere was cozy, the food and coffee were delicious, and everything came out fresh and beautifully presented. What really made the visit special was the incredible service from our waitress, Mage. She was so friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. It’s rare to come across service that genuinely makes you feel so welcomed. Thank you, Mage, for making our visit even better—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Buena comida , excelente servicio brindado por Daliana .“

“I love this place! I went alone two years ago and invited four girlfriends to go this past Sunday. The staff is very friendly and informative and the food is delicious! One of my friends is Mexican and she said the blue corn tortillas reminded her of her grandmothers. Do not miss this unassuming Michelin rated restaurant next time you are in the Grove.“

“Delicious 😋 lo recomiendo un sabor divino y los jugos riquísimos“

“Home away from home, a refuge.“

“I stop by the cafe here every now and then when I'm in the area, and always love the ambience, the food, and the fact that you can browse or buy a book or few (while supporting a family-owned local business).

I had lunch at the bar yesterday, and had a particularly great experience thanks to the bartender Gabriel, who not only provided me with exceptional service, but I watched while he handled what could have been a bad situation with grace and diplomacy beyond what I'm sure I would have been capable of.

A woman came in with a group that was stopping in the area part of a bus tour, and they were trying to get a quick bite. In spite of the woman clearly acting entitled and trying to push to get food out right away, he calmly explained that he didn't want to promise something he couldn't deliver and disappoint her, and that the cafe was full, it's a small kitchen, and the staff in back was already dealing with a 12+ long line of orders in process.

He offered her some solutions like grabbing dessert which was already made etc. but she clearly was just upset that she wasn't getting special treatment and having her unrealistic expectations met. I have no doubt that if he had responded in anything less than the impeccably professional manner that he did, she could have easily caused a ruckus, but instead she and her friends left without further issue once it was clear that it wasn't going to be feasible to get food out in their tight timeframe.“

“I just moved back into Coconut Grove and this is going to be my daily stop. Not only is the place cozy and beautiful,
filled with fantastic wines, gourmet foods, original local artwork and even cute clothes, but the food was delicious. I had a melted mozzarella and tomato sandwich on ciabatta bread and it was divine. I also had a homemade flan that would make my Cuban grandmother, proud.

I’ll be back soon!“

“I Ike this place , food is great , pastry’s and good but the servers at the Aventura are vey mean and not polite not the first time we see this , Managers should train them to better serve the public , of the are having a bad day better stay home We are the ones paying for food and service to have great food and enjoy the place .“

“Such a beautiful place. The owner really built the most beautiful bakery and cafe that I have ever been to. The air is refreshing, the food is fresh, the floors are spotless, the smell is to die for. I will be coming here as often as I can afford! Such an amazing owner, she made me feel cherished for being in her business and I can tell the food was made with love!!! Anyone who is in the area MUST come here to eat, have coffee, read, take meetings and find clarity in their life with this environment!“

“This spot is great! Not too expensive, really pretty inside, and Jazz took care of me, and she was super nice and helped me with the menu and cooked up these healthy drinks that tasted phenomenal super quick! Will hopefully be back again. Get right!“

“We ordered some flavoured latte and it was not as smooth as it was supposed to be. The food was okay ish. The salmon crossiant and tuna melt was good. However the texture of the crepe was very different than what we usually see. The vibe of this place was cute and cozy. People who love exploring cafes around can check this place out.“

“We celebrated our birthdays today while having breakfast at your place and the service was incredible. Many other restaurants shall follow your professionalism and manners to treat their customers; and most important, I highly recommend your amazing freshly made food and well presented. We were all extremely satisfied with the quality of every different plate experienced this morning at your restaurant for a family brunch. I give you a five plus star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💖 Congratulations for your great business!“

“Best. Sandwiches. In. Kendall. These guys have been here since I can remember! They are a west kendall institution and are a great hometown business to support! I've been coming for 25 years to order a #13 with a cafecito! You should too and bring a friend because the portions are as real as the food being prepared fresh in front of you.“

“Excelente servicio y una excelente presentación y sabor♥️👏🏼🍳🙌🏽🇺🇸🇨🇴☕️🎊“

“Really enjoyed eating here! The place is so cute and relaxing and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the Whitman smoothie 👌“

“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.“

“Great customer service ! Order a salmon onigiri really good. The ice tea is amazing never had til now. The chicken katsu was nice and crispy wish it had more meat inside, love the rice, personally not fan of the sauce but my spouse loved it.“

“Run and owned by an incredible young Cuban-American woman with great passion for what she does! Love the concept! Elevated barista, mobile ventanita experience done incredibly well!!“

“This is my FAVORITE place for brunch, and I often order lunch from them on DoorDash. The owner takes pride in serving quality ingredients, including making everything from scratch and using clean fats, e.g. the croissants are made with real butter, the fries are cooked in beef tallow, and they make all their own dressings. The flavors are always on point, and I always feel good after eating their food.

My favorite dishes are the leek quiche (with caramelized leek on top!), the halloumi salad (a healthy Mediterranean option), and I LOVE their lemon muffins because you can feel how they sift the flour to give make the texture of the bread feel like a lemony cloud in your mouth.“

“Truly beautiful place. Excellent food.
However, service was “interesting”:
one person forgot our request, another brought wrong order, it took us time to get someone to get us 2nd cup of coffee. Interesting.
Focusing on the good:
Views are great and food is really good.“

“This place has the best, most authentic, artisinal ice creams! The Ferrer Rocher is extraordinary. The Birthday Cake and Mascarpone are also out of this world. Prices are great and staff so friendly. We drive a long distance each month for our pints of ice cream, well worth it.“

“Fast and excellent service.“

“Writing
I visited La Especialice in Coconut Grove with my wife and our dog for a late lunch/early dinner, and overall it was a great experience. The place is beautiful, very well decorated, and has a really inviting atmosphere. The menu is quite diverse, offering plenty of options, and the food was very good. Prices felt reasonable for the quality and location.
Our only complaint was that the service was noticeably slow compared to other tables around us. That said, setting that aside and considering everything else, we would definitely come back.“

“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.“

“The Best pastelisto in South Florida awesome beer and wine. Great service“

“Great sandwiches and cappuccino“

This bakery is truly a gem! The owners and employees are some of the kindest, most welcoming people you’ll ever meet—they treat every customer like family. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and you can feel the love and care that goes into everything they do.

And the food? Absolutely delicious and always fresh. From pastries to breads, everything is top quality and made with real passion. I’ve never had a bad experience here—only amazing service and unforgettable treats.

Highly recommend to anyone who loves great food and even better people!“

“El mejor restaurante español de Miami“

“Absolutely spectacular place! One of my favorites.

I always come here with my friends — the place is lovely and has such a nice vibe.

The almond croissant is hands down my favorite, and I’ve also ordered breakfast several times; the eggs are always delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious , I loved it !!!“

“bello lugar!“

“JuanCafe is a hidden gem with truly authentic Colombian food. The flavors are delicious and immediately transport you to Colombia, especially when you go for lunch and order a corrientazo, just like it is called in Colombia. It feels like sitting down for a real Colombian midday meal.

The bakery is excellent. The empanadas, buñuelos, and papa rellena are unique, fresh, and full of traditional flavor. Everything tastes homemade and prepared with care.

My favorite dish is the mondongo soup. It is rich, comforting, and exactly how it should be. If you are craving real Colombian food, this place delivers authenticity, quality, and the true taste of Colombia.“

“Stopped by the truck. Rami gave us free sample of his awesome shawarma and juice. Awesome service and the food is fantastic! Highly recommend stop by and get your grub on!“

“BEST home made Latin food!!! They also have sandwiches and soups. The breakfast is amazing, you can make your own omelettes or breakfast sandwich. The steak sandwich is unbelievably delicious, it has a secret sauce that just makes you want more! Also, the quesadillas are to die for... I've eaten almost everything and cannot complain about a single thing. Oh and don't forget about the pastries! They're gone within minutes! The staff is very very friendly and they'll go out of their way to make sure you are pleased with their service and food. Won't go anywhere else but here, already made up my mind. Would give you 10 stars if I could!!! #bestfood“

“Best service in town! Great family owned business 👏“

“I had a wonderful experience at the Macy’s Café Starbucks! Ester was absolutely amazing—so friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. She took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt completely taken care of.

The beef patties were delicious—flavorful and perfectly cooked. I was also really impressed with the wide variety of items available. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or just need your coffee fix, they’ve got you covered.

One thing this place needs to be better is more deco and to be a little more catchy.

Thanks again to Ester for the outstanding service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Our server was Ana, she was incredible. We asked a lot of questions because we were not sure about the steak cuts and she was so helpful, very knowledgeable. She was also very knowledgeable with the different red wines we were asking. I will definitely return and hopefully we can get Ana again for our server!“
