“ If you are a tourist visiting Miami and you are looking for a great coffee shop look no further. This place is pure greatness. Very friendly staff. Exceptional lattes. Very clean. Great music. Great food. This place has become one of my favorite spots in South Beach. ”

“ Absolutely loved this place for breakfast! Spent every morning here being served by the excellent waitress MELINA. Who was professional, polite and friendly. Here the food is art work! Its delicious. With big hearty portions to suppress any hungry appetite and don't forget the Cuban coffee. it's like rocket fuel!! Highly recommended. ”

“ Stopped in for a coffee and a danish and ended up discovering one of the coolest spots around. The coffee was great, the pastry hit the spot, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The gallery setting gives the place such a unique vibe. It’s not just a cafe, it’s an experience. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. ”

“ I left speechless. I had high expectations based on other reviews, and somehow this place managed to exceed my high expectations. I’m a sucker for good food, and this food was exceptionally phenomenal!! The ham & cheese omelet was light, fluffy and flavorful. The ultimate melt croissant was quite delicious — and truly huge — could be shared between two people. Oh, and that was also tasty...the croissant was soft, buttery and flaky. The Cuban coffee spoke to my soul ;-) The only disappointment was the jumbo red velvet cookie that was “hard” — this was more of a personal preference complaint as I like soft, chewy cookies. Nonetheless. the cookie tasted good. I cannot overstate the over and beyond customer service. Don’t leave Miami without having breakfast here!! ”

“ Exceeded expectations! Walked by this place on our first day in Miami and we had already eaten so we just did a walk through and checked out the menu. The lady working was so sweet and talked passionately about the food and her brothers art work (which is beautiful). The next day we came back and tried the coffee, smoothies and breakfast. So glad we did!! Chaps con queso with shredded pork was beyond amazing. The burrata prosciutto was fantastic. Coffee con leche and detox smoothie was all so so good! ”

The service is equally impressive, with attentive and friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you're there for breakfast, lunch, or just a coffee, the experience is consistently delightful. The added touch of being surrounded by Edward Simal's captivating artwork makes it more than just a meal—it's an experience. If you're in Miami Beach, this spot is a must-visit. It's the perfect combination of great food, excellent service, and a clean, artistic environment. ”
