“I give him a five star review the food is excellent The Waitresses is very much on time and the waiter was excellent in the food is delicious I recommend this place very much“

“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.“

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

“Foie-gras was top notch along with the Guinea fowl and the service was A-1, we will be back. Highly Recommend“

“La Boulangerie Boul’Mich has such a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere — everyone there is genuinely friendly, which makes the experience even better. The pistachio croissant is absolutely delicious, and definitely worth coming back for.“

“Really nice coffee shop with great food options. The coffee is fantastic and there’s plenty to choose from. The food is just as good, I especially recommend the ratatouille on weekends, it was so good.

The overnight oats were also excellent. Prices were very fair, especially for the coffee. Can definitely recommend!“

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

“This was my first time visiting Rose Cafe & Restaurant, which recently expanded and rebranded with a full bar and dinner service, officially opening the new concept in October 2025. The space is absolutely beautiful ~ roses everywhere, elegant decor, and very Instagrammable from the moment you walk in. One thing that stood out, however, was a very strong scent sprayed in the hallway upon entry. My friend, who is sensitive to strong smells, felt sick afterward. It didn’t linger heavily at the table, but for anyone sensitive to fragrance, this could definitely be an issue. As for the food, our Eggs Benedict initially came out overcooked, but our server Jonathan A. handled it perfectly. He immediately took it back, asked the chef to remake it, and the second round was spot on. Great recovery and attentive service on his part. I ordered a hazelnut cappuccino, not realizing that cinnamon lettering would be added on top. I personally don’t tolerate cinnamon, so I removed the foam and didn’t say anything, but this might be something for management to consider ~ asking guests beforehand would be appreciated. Overall, the service was good, valet is offered upon arrival, and the ambiance is lovely. While it didn’t completely blow my mind, it’s still a beautiful spot with solid service. All things considered, I’d honestly give it 4 stars and would return, especially for the atmosphere.“

“Great variety of healthy foods, freshly made, tasted delicious and staff were so warm, welcoming and accomodating. Highly recommend!“

“Es un lugar de música electrónica muy especial“

“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.“

“Met a friend at Novela Cafe Social to catch up and it was the perfect spot. We had a cappuccino, a matcha latte, and a breakfast focaccia— all fresh, well made, and really enjoyable.

Staff were friendly, specially the lady that runs the food to the tables.

Relaxed, clean Wynwood vibe that makes you want to stay and chat. Great coffee, good food, and an easy place to spend time with friends.“

“Buenísimo el mejor de Miami“

“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.“

“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“

“I love this place! The location is super chill, the menu offers healthy alternatives, the coffee is great and the staff is super friendly. Officially my favorite coffee shop! ❤“

“Buena comida , excelente servicio brindado por Daliana .“

“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!“

“We have just had two weeks cruising on ICON and now a couple of days at Miami Beach. Royal Caribbean’s service was great as usual, but I will remember my breakfast at Blue Lavender for equally as long. The service - Isaac and Roberto - was fantastic and the food out of this world. I particularly enjoyed the serious and sincere commitment to gluten-free options, served in a wonderful, cool setting. We return to the UK tomorrow. I wish these guys were coming with us.“

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

“Buena comida , excelente servicio brindado por Daliana .“

“Great service! Clemente was great!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I’ve been to all the sandwich shops in Miami Beach and Mr Baguette is by far supreme!!
I’ve tried almost every sandwich on the menu and nothing short of 9/10. The breakfast burrito is a cheat code to get your day started. Amir treated me like a king- ask for him!“

“Karmelo and I love it here he gets his creamy pup cup and I enjoy The crème brûlée pancakes. Sean is amazing and gave us amazing service. The wait time is about 20-25 minutes, but they have all kinds of toys and cards to play with in your wait time.“

“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)!“

“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!“

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

“That pita bread is better than pizza. Wood burning oven. Best traditional Greek dishes. Oh wait l, you want 45 oz of steak. Sliced … but bone with meat also on plate. Out of this taste bud world. Don’t think too much, eat and enjoy. Matias also is as good it gets taking care of us tonight. No more to say, I’m having dessert now.“

“Waw....the croissants were amazing, beautiful, delicious and authentic. Yummy!“

“Best espresso ever !Chocante Mocha fantastic !“

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

“My experience with Mestiza has been amazing. I have taken my entire family there and I also subscribed to their plan. Their food is super healthy super well made tasty and fresh always very fresh. I feel like my body is thanking me for finally be eating so healthy. I highly recommend. They also have some very nice Brazilian dessert, and for those that are trying to avoid sugar you should try one of their ginger shots. It’s let’s say reinvigorating. 😁“

“Amazing place! Must come!!!“

“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.“

“This place gave me that NYC vibes I felt like I was back home. Everything we ordered was amazing. We started with the empanadas we got one of each. It was nice and fresh. I personally got the chopped cheese sandwich and let me say I thought I was back up north. It was amazing. The service was great. The crew took care of us. Will def be going back!!!“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

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

“We visited from NC and DC. The place is amazing and we loved the food and service, though the service is a bit slower than expected but they were pretty busy, so we understand the delay. The presentation of the food was great a well. We visited the place a couple of time through our stay. The establishment is a chain and other places are great as well.“

“Slightly hidden little cafe in the courtyard of a boutique hotel. You’ll miss it if you don’t know where to look.

Came here searching for guava pastries. I got hooked on the fresh ones in Mexico City.

These are made fresh but the guava filling seems to come premade. Maybe my expectations are unrealisticly high. I miss cafes in Roma Norte

The latte was nice. Friendly manager and very modest pricing. Spotless lavatory.

I whiled away half an hour in their laid back courtyard, under a fast receding November sun. It was glorious.“

“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. 😊“
