The cappuccino was a latte, can't even get a coffee taste. The iced latte was good because I asked for an extra shot. It seemed like the girls working there today did not care at all. My husband said his cortadito was weak, too much milk. I will come back for croissants, not for coffee.

When I first walked into this French inspired bakery cafe, my party of 8 was greeted and seated…read morepromptly. We also were given menus and water swiftly. It took a bit for our waiter to stroll back around to take our order, and for a Sunday morning brunch, I wouldn't have considered this place a "packed" house. When the time came around, I was first to place my order, I wanted something different so I ordered Shakshuka. Of course; I did my quick research of the dish before getting to the restaurant! Shakshuka is suppose to be a one-skillet egg dish, the eggs are basted in this rich, thick red pepper, tomato, onions, and garlic sauce, topped with satueed peppers. I also ordered a French toast and chai latte! Fast forward to when everyone dishes were dropped off, even though I was first to order my dish did not arrive. I waited around for 10-15 minutes, my whole family was pretty much done with their meals. I had to call over our waitress to advise my order was never dropped at the table. After letting her know, my dish was expedited to the table in less than 5 minutes. Could they have been a rush to send out the dish? Possibly. Because that was the worst dish ever and nothing like described. The peppers were not sautéed (or little to nothing) and were just sliced, plated for decor. The tomato/red pepper based sauce seemed like it was just canned tomato sauce, very liquid-y. Simply was not fond of this dish. The french toast were more like hard french toast sticks, I would've liked it to be on the fluffier end, but they were hard/toasted. Nothing that blew my mind. As far as my chai latte, it was divine! The perfect warm hug. The chai to steamed milk ratio was on point, and topped cinnamon. My mom ordered their $42 Entrecöte Frites; man, did that sound delicious. As a true steak connoisseur, she loves a bleeding rare steak! So that was the temperature she ordered, rare. I was excited to snag a bite or two from her plate to be the judge it for myself. The plate dropped the first time, she cut right in the middle of it to see the finishing temperature... it was wrong. Sent it right back. The second time it hit the table, the temperature was correct. A bright red center and a seared exterior, just what she was looking for. However, it was so salty, you just could not get past all the salt, nothing to enjoy. Not edible, unless you wanted clogged arteries right then and there! My wife ordered a caprese sandwich. Yes, I also took a bite of that while waiting my for my order(lol). The baguette bread was airy, delicious, and soft. The mozzarella was fresh and the tomatoes were nice and ripe. I also tried their croissants, almond and chocolate croissant, pistachio croissant, and Nutella croissant. They were buttery, flaky, and all the fillings complimented it well. My conclusion to La Boulangerie is you have to be selective about what you order from here. Maybe they had an off day and we were the unlucky ones, but the more complicated meals turned out to taste the worst. However, you can definitely enjoy light bites here... you can't go wrong with a baguette sandwich, coffee, or a pastry. I think baking and light fare is where their true expertise lies.

A hidden gem that still delivers: skip the trendy spots…read more I used to visit Café Chantilly regularly when I lived in Miami, so while waiting for my hotel room to be ready, I took the opportunity to stop by, and as expected, I'm glad I did. Just as I remembered, this little gem still serves excellent coffee, even better pastries, and offers prompt, friendly service. It's not flashy or trendy, but that's exactly what makes it special. Forget the hyped-up coffee spots in the more touristy parts of town. If you want the real deal, the kind of place locals return to time and time again, this spot is it. If you're in the area, skip the lines at the Instagram-famous cafés and treat yourself to a place that delivers flavor, quality, and comfort. You'll be glad you did. Take it from a former local!

I hardly saw any food and there was only one person working. You wouldn't know that there was only one person working, however, as the employee seemed to blend in with everyone else. Once found, however, she was helpful and showed me where the coffee was. Apparently, the one thing this place offers for free is the coffee. That said, eating here seems nice.

I had some French toast and a coffee, and even with just a few bites you can tell they care about what they're serving. What really stood out was the atmosphere. The staff is welcoming and you can tell they have a strong group of regulars. It's the kind of place where you don't feel like a customer, you feel like you're stepping into a family environment. There's a real sense of culture and community that you can't fake. A lot of people look for a vibe when choosing a restaurant. Here the vibe is family. Great food, good energy, and if you come at the right time you might leave with a clean car too.

Well a coworker happily bumped into this place a couple of days ago and shared a Colombian empanada with us. It was delicious. It was crispy, meat flavored just right and the sauce made it all just devine! Come the next day were all ordering from here. They have delivery available so it made the deal even sweeter. There are so many options available. They have ,breakfast, lunch, daily specials, fresh juices and other drinks and let's not forget the delicious arepa sandwiches. I had a real light lunch planned for today so I went with a heavy breakfast. I chose the La Guera (chicken stew and cheese) arepa. The stuffed chicken breast came sliced with onions and green peppers and loaded with melted cheese. Amazingly the arepa stayed crunchy on the outside and yummy on the inside. It was very satisfying and fulfilling. I am ready to take on my day now! Make sure to check out their daily specials too. They have full plates for under $7! Trust me it's all worth it!

This seemed like a French want to be restaurant run by mainly a Latin crowd. So depending on what…read moreyou order it can be a hit, semi-authentic, or a flop. I had the chinsiest caprese sandwich I've seen in a while with just the tomato and cheese in there with a slim amount of pesto sauce. It was served with kettle chips and I couldn't justify the $16.50 or more asking price for this. My dad fared better with the ginger salmon, though at $30.00 I found it a touch expensive as well. Breakfast seems to be the better option here and service was spotty to average. I wanted to try it but there isn't really anything that would call me back. Rather noisy in there and it's dog friendly, if that's not your cup of tea then you have been warned. Plenty of parking and usually plenty of seats.

The latte I ordered was standard as far as lattes are concerned. I ordered French Toast with a side of scrambled eggs. They were good, but not great. French Toast was well done, which I appreciated because I don't like slimy eggs on my French toast. The scrambled eggs were a bit wet, so that was less desirable to me. Nothing seemed to have much seasoning/ flavor too it. The fruit added the most flavor to the French toast and even pepper on the eggs didn't do much. As a group of five, with 2 children, they automatically added large group gratuity to our bill. Not likely a place I'll be visiting again any time soon.

I had my eggs scrambled and added cheese; they were nicely good, and the toast was a baguette that was nicely toasted and buttery. My friend had their Spanish sandwich, which looked delicious. Overall, Cafe Bea was excellent. The service was attentive and polite. The food was excellent and fresh. I will definitely be back.

Waitress seemed busy but there were bussers around to help and I spent more time asking them for my needs than w the waitress but it is possible it's designed that way. The mint lemonade I got was delicious! And then I ordered the Benedict to go- and there's the sad part- the egg was nearly completely Raw, like soup I couldn't eat them, it was unfortunate because the flavor was there in the hollandaise sauce so I just had the bread w the sauce and bacon. I hope they can correct this because otherwise I would have returned, but this is a large fault of the main dish. Oh also each bill comes with 18% service charge automatic - they handed me a device with 5,7 and 10% Additional with no context. I like that they pay their staff but they should speak to the customer and verbalize that- I thought it was excessive to ask for 5,7 and 10 percent more for a to go order.

This time, we…read morewanted to try the location right next to our house, so we decided to pick up a few things to take home. We got a little bit of everything--some savory empanadas and a few desserts. We tried the Ham, Cheese & Chorizo Empanada, Ropa Vieja Empanada, and a slice of Empanada Gallega. For dessert, we got Cuatro Leches, Crème Catalana, and Tres Leches. Everything was really good, but my personal favorite was definitely the Crème Catalana. It was smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced--not too sweet, which I really liked. The service was great too. Even though there was a line, the staff kept things moving quickly and efficiently. Honestly, I feel this location deserves a better rating and more stars. We had a very good experience with the food, service, and overall quality.

Also, I understand mistakes happen, but in the food industry you have to be very careful making mistakes because if there was any food allergy, and the person consuming that item didn't catch it, it could be a serious issue not just for the consumer, but also for the business. If I could leave a zero, I would. This place is a disappointment and the people working there are not friendly at all. We went up to the counter to order, and the blond lady was talking to some guy. I don't think he was a customer there, so she wasn't really paying attention to us. We did get to place our order with the other girl and ended up sitting down. My moms order came out, and hers was fine, but when she enquired about our drinks, it seems they had forgotten about the drinks so they started making it. Up to that point everything was okay. I had ordered a Caesar salad sandwich. What I was expecting was what was on the menu - tomatoes, lettuce, onions, Caesar salad dressing and chicken (sure Caesar salad doesn't have tomato's and onions, but I didn't mind if it had them). As soon as I get my sandwich I start inspecting it because it looks nothing like what I thought it would. I had to look at the menu again because mine came with small potato sticks which I did not want on my sandwich. I was trying not to complain about it and just take it off, but the sandwich didn't even have Caesar salad dressing. So I go up to the counter to request some sauce to put on top. The new girl enquires with the blond chick, who just seems annoyed that we interrupted her conversation. I get that they work long hours, but if you don't like people or can't even fake it with a smile, you really shouldn't work in anything with customer service especially if it's giving the company negative reviews. Just look at how many people have complained about the customer service. I'm not alone here! Anyways, I just ended up taking whatever other sauce they gave me which wasn't Caesar sauce. I told them they should have told me in advance if they didn't have Caesar dressing. The blonde chick was definitely annoyed now by the way she was looking at me. I didn't want to get into it with them so I go back and just try to make the sandwich better with the sauce they gave me. Anyway my mom went up to get a to go box, and of course blonde lady once again was being rude. Then she wanted to say that we have no idea what it's like to work in that industry...how does she know? Has she seen our resumes?? We were nothing but nice and the moment we pointed issues out, she wanted to make it seem like we were the problem. We ended up leaving, but we're not going back. If anything this trip has reminded me once again why I hate Miami because people just seem to be overly stressed and rude!
