“This is a legit Italian menu. Opened in 1994. Making it a staple in Surfside. Started with a martini. Got a wood fired grilled pizza. Moved to the ravioli and the lasagna. Classic bites. Classic spot. The menu has a lot of depth. Classic pastas. Carni lineup up is amazing and the Pesce looked solid.Writing this review before desert was even offered so good.“
“Some of the best israeli/Mediterranean food I’ve ever had. Beet salad & kebab were amazing. The pita & dips were also incredible and I will definitely be returning. High quality, good service, and beautiful location.Kid-friendliness: Great for family gatheringsWheelchair accessibility: One floor“
“This kosher bakery was very busy on the Sunday morning I visited. The staff was very attentive, though, so no complaints!I wasn't super hungry and opted for a yogurt parfait that was fairly simple and lacked culinary pizazz. I'd go back again to try one of the sandwiches with the salmon bacon.“
“Nice atmosphere m, staff was great, and food was delicious. The mimosa was as big as my head.. lol However, it was $19. I wish there would have been a smaller size option as I have a very small stomach due to weight loss surgery. With the $19 mimosa I also got a coffee, eggs with cheese and bacon with a bagel to go for my friend. With tip the bill was $60. Now I realize I’m in South Beach, but I think that is a little excessive for breakfast. Lunch and dinner I understand.“
“This place is heavenly! Food, hospitality and ambiance is all 10/10 - healthy, so delicious and everyone here is so warm and friendly I would come here everyday! In fact I did for both my holiday brunches :) it’s just a great spot to have a leisurely lovely, nourishing meal in a beautiful shaded garden ??“

“Very friendly staff and very reasonable prices. The lifeguard is about 1 block from Miami Beach and has everything you might want for your morning breakfast, including 4 different types of danishes, fresh fruit smoothies, and an incredible coffee & tea menu.“
“It is my husband and I's first time in Miami and we were on the hunt for a Cubano sandwich. I came across this place and it did not disappoint!!!! We got the hot honey Cubano and it was so good! The service was excellent too, really friendly staff.“
“Variety and quality in pastries. The girls were very helpful, especially Claudia. I recommend the bread with tortilla ?. The cook Saylin is very good as well as the man who I don't know his name.Good place for your breakfastsI recommend it 100%“
“Love the homie atmosphere. Super helpful even if you don’t know Spanish which I value. If you’re looking for real filling food this is always my go to. They also have sweets like delicious tiramisu. Definitely something for everyone in here.“
“Tasty affordable food in North Beach. Fresh and fast! I ordered breakfast through a delivery app and it came quickly. I ordered the Steak and Eggs with home fries and Cuban toast. I will say the portion size is pretty small for $17 but everything is flavorful. They have lots of options so if you're hungry for something quick and familiar if definitely give them a try!“
“I came here to lunch with some friends before UMF, the food was amazing. I had the turkey benedict eggs and it was *chef's kiss..Service is good, fast, and friendly.We had some coffee and mimosas, everything was perfect.Dietary restrictions: Lots of option for people with dietary restrictions. Non dairy milks available and substitutions to dishes are welcome.“
“Went for a late dinner. Ordered several plates to share (chicken shawarma, pickled veggies, greek salad, tzatziki) and everything was excellent. Cocktail list had some very good options. Tzatziki with the pita bread was a star of what we ordered. Super fresh and flavorful.“

“This review is for the retail aspect of this place, and they have authentic Italian delicacies. Ah, their burrata or mozzarella logs! They also have a lovely selection of salamis and other cold cuts. I have yet to try their cafe, but what’s really on my radar are the cheese-making classes.“
“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.“
“Absolutely Amazing !!! The good, the service, the atmosphere. Everything !!!! 10 out of 10 recommend !!! Igor was so nice and helpful in picking out the perfect meal !!! We went for breakfast and loved it so much we went back for dinner !!!“
“Delicious food, and so many choices! Particularly enjoyed the fact that the items on the breakfast menu can be ordered all day. Generous portions, lovely seating inside and out and friendly and helpful staff. Wouldn't mind the music to be played at a bit of a lower volume so that conversation can be held more easily in a large group, but that seems to be an endemic characteristic of every eatery that I have thus far visited in the greater Miami area. Overall, terrific experience and would certainly return.“
“Best breakfast sandwiches of my life. It's so hard finding quality food and ingredients in Miami and Novela nailed it with their Egg Sammie and Herb Omelette Ciabatta. Get the ciabatta with bacon and a side of the homemade sirracha mayo is unreal. I'm a saucy girl and they know how to do sauce.Also great place to co work from and such great vibes. AND rose syrup for your coffee :,) I'm obsessed.“
“The place is super nice, consistently attended by its waiters, with excellent service. To start, we had some delicious empanadas. We had sorrentinos and spaghetti for the main course, and they were delicious! And for dessert, dulce de leche pancake with ice cream. Very lovely atmosphere! Highly recommended!“
“Me and my husband have no complaints! We got the above dishes (don’t want to misname a dish lol). The service was very warm and the server helped us make a good decision since it was our first time. The atmosphere is solid! And lastly the food is absolutely delicioussssss! SO GOOD! And those sauces!!!“
“We ended up here every morning during our 4 day stay! We tried a lot, but my favorite was their breakfast fried rice dish, The Emperor Nasi Goreng. The coffee is incredible, the avo roasts divine, and the service is super friendly and genuine! A great breakfast stop!“
“Literally amazing. Everything here is 12/10 tasty. I crave this place!! So yummy, so fresh and so flavorful. The merguez toast, passionfruit yogurt, cachets (ham/cheese, ham, cheese) and salmon toast are incredible - this is a must go spot!!!“
“I love the whole vibe of this spot. The drinks, food and music was on point. I actually found this restaurant on tik tok. I recommend going here and I really return on my next vacation from here on out. The wings were very delicious you have to try those, I recommend them. Customer service was excellent, the best I’ve had in a long time.“
“Had Morning Croissant, chocolate croissant with fruit platter and matcha latte.Didn’t like being asked “do you know what Matcha is?” when I asked about the sweetness level of the matcha latte when ordering it. They didn’t even answer my question. I just let it go since everything but that little situation was great.Would definitely recommend others to give it a visit.“
“Great Italian backery. Staff is super friendly and sweet! Chiabata bread is amazing taste. Thank you, they give me even more free bread for the kid. I really admired the Italian style approach, service and warm treatment. Highly recommended. P.S. they have another backery in North Miami.“
“I've been going to this café for years now and I can honestly say it's like a little piece of Colombia in our community. Not to mention that the food is delicious, ambience is homie and, service is friendly and fast. I usually have the calentado with steak and huevos perico or the breaded chicken with rice and beans.“
“The vibes were immaculate. Super cute and perfect for brunch I was on a walk and I'm so glad I stopped by, I hope to return and try some food off the dinner menu definitely recommend the house coffee and lavender latte to all my fellow coffee heads!“
“I frequent the one in Boca Raton. It's my favorite breakfast/brunch place. BEST CROISSANTS EVER!! I get something different every time and I love everything I've put in my mouth thus far.Vegetarian options: You can always ask not to have meat in the meat options. I ordered an egg croissant sandwich that comes with Canadian bacon and I just told them no bacon. No issuesKid-friendliness: I'm sure kids are welcome. I just don't have nor like them lolWheelchair accessibility: Yes“
“This is the best burger we've ever had! The most amazing bite. The flavorful pretzel bun, the juicy burger, the onion jam. No need for any other condiments. Yum! ? We ordered from the food truck and the food was brought to our table outdoors seating they also have some indoor seating.“
“Wife and I went here for breakfast and both enjoyed the food. A slight issue was our waiter was slow to get back to us when we were finished but we were not in a rush to get anywhere so not a big deal.Overall, pleasant experience and good food.“
“Incredible spot. Sweet and savory crepes and croissants are delicious. Fine ingredients. Excellent coffee quality and selection. Indoor/outdoor seating. Staff is great. The General Manager (Maren I think her name is) has such a gift for hospitality. Wonderful spot to relax and enjoy breakfast with none of the Miami Miaminess.“
“First time trying this cafe, I thought it was one of those busy hectic coffee shops where you can barely find a sit, but It’s a pleasant atmosphere, the guy at the counter was very kind, I ordered a latte and a croissant like every Saturday morning and the coffee was very tasty and also good temperature, not extremely hot. The croissant could of been a little bit more crispy. But overall good! I’ll definitely come back again.“
“It was the second time that I went to Ice Box Cafe Hallandale, the place is so charming, and the food and service were excellent.They keep serving delectable food which has been one of its best characteristics from the beginning.I will be coming back to this restaurant because it has become one of my top brunch places in Hallandale Beach, Miami.“
“So good! I'm still dreaming about their crème fraiche pancakes. They were to die for and I'm make the commute to Miami just for them. The bowl that I got was delicious as well. Coffee was great, small portion but the lavender flavor was delicious without making the drink taste soapy. The only thing that disappointed me was that they were out of their more popular baked goods when I got there for lunch at a relatively early time. I hope to be able to try them at some point in the future. Place is beautiful with instagramable spots and the service was fine!“
“After having to change my diet to keto because of a brain injury from my military service, I had a difficult time finding those casual morning treats people have with their coffee. it wasn't until I went to Florida on a work "vacation" that I discovered this wonderful shop. I was immensely impressed with my experience as a whole; the place was very welcoming and comfortable, the staff was pleasant and knowledgeable, and the food... good lord, the food... was FANTASTIC! SO GOOD! Now that I'm back home, MUCH further north lol, I'm missing my vacation morning routine. ABSOLUTELY love this place!“

“We loved holding our health and wellness lunch CLE at Macondo! The chef greeted our guests personally and was attentive. The food was plated beautifully and was delicious. It took us back to the culinary tastes of Colombia! We look forward to more events at Macondo.“

“An amazing little cafe in the middle of a concrete jungle, what a find. It's simply a counter, you order and wait, then you can head out to the reflecting pool to eat. All the food is fresh and made daily, it's breakfast and lunch, very good and reasonably priced ! We had the ham and cheese croissant, the Sunday sandwich and 2 Americanos for $20 plus tip. It was hot, fresh and very tasty. The coffee was amazing and the 2 women who ran the spot were delightful. It's just basically a food stand, no real ambiance, but it is clean and efficient. We can't wait to go back and try lunch, homemade soups and sandwiches........“
“This man right here Emmanuel ROCKsThe vibes out this bike shop beat a lot of places. It’s a vibe and can accustom a lot of people that are into both communities of biking and café (kava spots)If you love a citrus kratom they got a fire mix.Everything here is unique too.I got the Mr T green and it’s excellent.Next I’m trying the cheech and Chong 50/50 mix of kava and kratom.“
“I’ve been eating here almost every day since I started working in the building and I can honestly say I love eating here. I always look forward to my tostada and croquetas made fresh and hot.Aside from their breakfast they also have a standard menu full of delicious food (my fave is the turkey BLT) but they also provide lunch a la carte with new menus every week.What’s most amazing about this place is the staff and owners. They are honestly such wonderful and friendly people who make an effort to chat and get to know you. They go out of their way for the customers and always provide great service (even during peak times like lunch).“
“Very large portions (includes nearly a loaf of bread lol), could possibly share and the price was super cheap for Miami! Only like $22 for 2 breakfasts :)) Great little quick spot to stop at. Lots of drink options too if wanted. Was busy so maybe that’s why it was a bit long to get our food. Has some spots to eat inside but not a lot.“
“On Wednesdays this is the place to be for happy hour. They usually have sponsorships and tech networking events where they provide free drinks and pizza. You get to meet locals in the area as well as other entrepreneurs and business owners. It's a great spot to also mingle with friends and catch up.“
“Great sandwiches, mixing perfectly flavors and textures.We ordered the Chicken Sammy and the Goat Club. The Goat Club was more complex, with the fig shining through; while the Chicken Sammy was simpler and more earthy. We were both super pleased with the food, great execution.The downside was the ambiance, the music is blasting and not necessarily relaxing or enjoyable.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Little Culinary cafe, and let me tell you, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. This charming little spot, run by a mother-daughter duo, exudes warmth and authenticity in every aspect.From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with genuine hospitality as the owners personally take care of all orders. The atmosphere is cozy, making it the perfect place to unwind and savor some Russian culinary delights.Speaking of delights, the food at Little Culinary cafe is simply fantastic. I highly recommend trying their sirniki, blini, and cakes. Each dish is prepared with care and expertise, showcasing the rich flavors of traditional Russian cuisine.What sets Little Culinary cafe apart is their willingness to cater to your preferences. Whether you're looking for customized options or need to order in larger quantities, they've got you covered. And the best part? They'll soon be available on Uber Eats, making it even easier to enjoy their delicious offerings from the comfort of your own home.Overall, Little Culinary cafe is a gem of a find, and I can't wait for them to start delivery so I can indulge in their mouthwatering dishes more often. If you're craving authentic Russian food served with love, look no further than Little Culinary cafe.“
“Food is amazing! Staff is even better. The young man who took care of me was so helpful and provided great costumer service. Their empanadas ??? The onion with cheese one and the corn one were delicious. Don’t even get me started on the cakes. Absolutely delicious!“
“This was at the Miami Beach location. It was our fifth time there each time bringing someone new. These guys are great. Service is fantastic and the food is delicious. They are always super nice and the free cheese samples are appreciated.“
“Would give 10 stars if I could! There’s no better way of starting my day off than with their amazing Cuban sandwich, croquettas and coffee. All of the employees are so kind and generous every time I walk in there. Fast service, great food, amazing people. Can’t ask for more!“
“This is the best cake in Miami, and you can buy the slices too! I also admire the decorations in the store, which change in the different occasions - Valentines, Easter, etc. Everything is delicious, and I always end up buying small gifts for friends. Great experience!“
“We only tried the tea: it was a blueberry, fresh fruit blend that was simply out if this world! If you're a Starbucks Refresher drinker, you'll be a very easy convert. Those processed drinks can't compare with burst of flavors in these tea drinks! This place will be a new, frequent stop over. There was a "wheat" drink on a menu board that sounded interesting. It isn't currently available but will be returning at some pointI havent tried the food as yet but will. They carry a number of packaged loose leaf teas - I left with a cocoa pu'erh.The owner is warm, inviting, hospitable and kind. She looks you in your eyes when speaking to you with sincerity. Happy to give her my future business!“
“Special cauliflower salad was absolutely refreshing an delicious. The raisins were the perfect touch. My friend enjoyed the Monty dumplings. Said the sauce was exquisite and loved dipping the bread in it. Outdoor seating is awesome they have great fans. Tables are spread out, chairs are comfy, service is fast and terrrific thank you Ysben!“
“What a great spot! Books & Books always has something going on: comedy night, spoken poetry events, and a plethora of other events. The cafe's food never disappoints either, and their happy hour deals are amazing! $5 wine and select apps, and plenty of seating both inside and outside at the patio/bar. Service is wonderful too; everyone is super attentive and kind. This is probably my favorite Books & Books location--the ambiance is unbeatable!“
“This place is as far as I know the only affordable breakfast place in Surfside. It's a no-frills spot that's great to bring the family. It's basic, clean, the food is decent and overall we had a really fun time! I loved the savory crepe that I ordered, and the omelettes came with a big portion.“
