50 Best Cafes near South Miami

“It was a unique opportunity. Without expectations we headed there and after the initial uncertainty since it is inside a health building we found a unique option. Very attentive and professional staff, excellent offers and friendly prices. With vegetarian options.“

“Special👏👏👏!!! brunch Thanks“

“This place is a great new addition to the area. It has great food, especially the healthy but savory salads. My favorite is the Halloumi Salad, a great combination of lentils, cheese, sweet potatoes, avocado and greens.
They also have breakfast and deli items such as omelet, sandwiches (regular and mini sizes) and empanadas.
On the sweet side, they have a great assortment of regular and mini desserts that you can try without feeling guilty about breaking your diet!
The decoration and ambiance are both beautiful and relaxing.
A great place to have brunch, lunch or an afternoon coffee break!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level. No step up.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best espresso ever !Chocante Mocha fantastic !“

“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 were looking for a location to celebrate a post kindergarten graduation and MAWI was able to accommodate us during the week.

“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“

“It was nice to sit outside. I felt a little rushed to order, but the staff was fine. The freshness of the sandwich was good. The menu isn’t straight forward and not easily readable until you are closer or tall. People congregate inside of the small area waiting for their food and it is congested.“

“This is the GO TO SPOT! Need to study with delicious snacks and drinks? GET RIGHT. Need to vent about life like you would to your hair dresser? GET RIGHT! The staff is always very efficient and the area is always so clean. They make every visit very personable! Ashar makes the most incredible teas!! Thank you to you all for always making my days better!!“

“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.“

“⭐ 5 stars ⭐
My experience at Las Delicias Bakery was amazing! The food is simply delicious, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who really make sure you feel at home. In addition, the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, ideal for enjoying a good breakfast or lunch.

I recommend this place to all lovers of good food and excellent service. I will definitely be back soon!“

“Comida muy rica y lugar agradable“

“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!“

“After finishing a 5K with friends, we decided to reward ourselves—and Upper Tea delivered a post-run feast that left us stuffed. We came in with big appetites and even bigger expectations—and they were met.

I ordered the beef sausage bowl with grits (for me), the catfish bowl with grits and eggs (for my husband), a side of smothered chicken, and French toast—because, why not indulge? My husband and I shared the chicken and French toast, and even after everyone dug in, we still left behind enough food to feed three to four people. The portions are no joke—come ready!

The food? Flavor-packed. The catfish was a tad salty, but not enough to stop my husband from clearing his plate. The sausage was decent, but those grits—creamy, cheesy, and savory—were next-level good. The French toast had a perfectly crisp edge and just the right amount of sweetness. Every bite felt like comfort food elevated.

Our drinks—both the tea special and a custom tea mix—were sweet at first, but after letting the ice melt a bit, they hit that perfect, refreshing balance.

And let’s talk about service—Jeniyah (I hope I spelled her name right!) was an absolute gem. She was so sweet, constantly checked in on us, reassured us that our food was on the way, and apologized for the short wait—which, honestly, wasn’t bad at all considering how many of us there were. To top it all off, the chef came out to personally greet us and ask how everything tasted. That kind of hospitality goes a long way.

The ambiance was charming and cozy, with vintage touches like an old-fashioned pay phone, record player, and classic tea sets that made the whole experience feel like a hidden gem. Now although you can dine-in, this is more pay for what you want at the register and everything comes in a To go bag at your table. I didn’t mind that because it made it easy for taking left over home but it didn’t seem very welcoming to sit and eat.

Upper Tea isn’t just a meal—it’s a moment. From the grits to the heartfelt hospitality, this place is a must-visit. Bring your appetite and your friends—you’ll leave full in every sense of the word.“

“Excellent service and food!!!!!“

“☕🥪🧊🎶When attending the launch party for Davies’ new novel, the café truly delivered—from the warm pre-reception to the well-catered and smoothly run afterparty. The staff was attentive, the spread was great, and the price point was fair and filling. My only feedback? It would be great to have fountain sodas—a few of us were definitely craving those Coke Zero refills to keep the pages turning. Also worth noting: they host live music, which is a nice touch, though it can get a bit loud depending on where you’re seated.“

“Excellent service and food highly recommended ‼️“

“We visit Miami every 6 months and we also try to eat here. The food is always wonderful!!! The staff is so welcoming. We highly recommend this place.“

“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“
