Great food, very fresh and great service. Drinks are well-crafted. All for a relatively reasonable price for the area.

Excellent location on Collins Avenue in walking distance from many hotels. Great atmosphere with super fast service. The breakfast burrito was very flavorful and also very filling. I was a little skeptical about ordering a Mocha but they absolutely delivered. Honestly as good as Starbucks coffee or better! The spicy fried chicken and waffles was unlike anything that my family has ever tried. The combo didn't seem right at first BUT we were pleasantly surprised. The presentation of the meal was excellent and also the flavor. Would definitely order again! Thank you Alejandra for great service. read more

This is an update after my 2024 since things have not improved. My company has a full day meeting each year here due to the location I believe since no one stayed at the Uma House, the hotel that is connected. The service for lunch was very good but there was no improvement in the food and we had to send a number of dishes back. Two days after I was invited to a breakfast meeting with a group of a dozen people who live and work in Brazil and Argentina that we use and are very close partners for our companies. The restaurant opens at 8 and the trade show we attend opens at 9. We got seated at 8:10 and ordered. I got avocado toast and it is unknown what everyone got but my toast was overdone and the avocado was unfavorable. I went to wash my hands prior to eating and it looked like nothing was cleaned from the day before and no towels to dry after washing. The company of my South American friends was the only redeeming thing of this breakfast and I will recommend moving somewhere else for next year. read more

Me and my friend Roland went to Cafe Americano for brunch. The hostess seated us right away and gave us menus. The server came as we are checking the menus and asked us if we have any questions and suggeste recommendations. We were not ready so we just ordered iced latte and iced matcha to start. I ordered the steak and eggs, pancakes and my friend ordered the shrimp scampi linguini. The food was good and delicious, the server was attentive and took care of us, the manager and the hostess were also nice and friendly. Casual ambiance and relaxing atmosphere, a lot of good items in the menu, hospitable staff, and great location. Check it out! read more

It was a slow start here. It took a while for a server to come over after we sat, and it wasn't very busy. After the slow burn though, I really did enjoy this spot. It was a beautiful day and the seating outside is really visually attractive and lush. Once the server came, he bought the coffee quickly, took our order, and the food came out pretty quickly. My friend had the French toast was actually was the winning plate. It was very delicious. I had the omelette. I wanted them to add a couple things like tomatoes and sausage and they did. Once the server came, he was attentive after that. I'm a big breakfast and brunch fan and they have an all day option. The price is Miami typical. If you're ever around and in the mood for brunch, I would say give it a try. read more

Cafe Americano is a great place to visit if Service on South Beach. The service from Jose was excellent and the food was amazing. The price was reasonable especially for the area. The place also has a nice exterior design with indoor and outdoor dining . I recommend the watermelon Burrata salad. This was a unique salad and fresh from the veggies to the watermelon . The tres leches French toast is not your typical French Toast. It's accompanied with some strawberries, meringue, whip cream. The toast are cut in strips made with Dulce de leche rum sauce and cinnamon. One of the best French toast . Cafe Americano is the spot to be if you looking for brunch, or lunch . Most definitely I'll come back. When I am back in town, again. read more

Cute boho style outside seating. Service was on the slower side but waitress was attentive. Food was solid 3 stars- Cuban sandwich had some great flavors but needed a proper dipping sauce, fries were stone cold when they came out. Tuna appetizer was nice and fresh, needed more plantain crisps. Calamari were a bit underwhelming - good batter but needed more flavor. Oversized Bellini was pretty good. read more

I had hopes. It went bad quickly. Bright spot: Tina, our server was new, and she was lovely. We ordered a bottle of still water. Hubby was looking at the wine list. I ordered an old fashioned (featured menu drink). I'm unsure what was brought to us, but it was horrible! I asked my hubby to taste it and his response "Someone needs to be talked to. That is unacceptable!" Normally, I'd give benefit of the doubt, but I'm here for 3 days. Additionally, should I have to? If you can't make a featured drink right, I'm not trying anything else. We tipped Tina and departed the premises. If you go, ask for Tina. She was in training, but trying very hard to accommodate. That is the only reason I felt bad leaving. read more

Cute patio, decent omelette... and that's where the positives end. We ordered a breakfast burrito and specifically asked for the mayo to be inside--not on the side. Sounds simple, right? Apparently not. They ignored the request, and when we asked about it, both the server and the manager claimed it "wasn't possible." Funny how they managed to put jalapeño sauce inside though. To make matters worse, the burrito was gross. The bacon and ham were barely cooked--chewy, limp, and borderline raw. When the waiter asked how everything was, we told him the burrito wasn't good... and he just walked away without a word. Rude and unbothered. This place is all about looks--definitely not taste or service. Wouldn't go back. Definitely not returning back. Update: they didn't end up charging us for the burrito but regardless still not a good experience. read more

I waited for over forty minutes for one pizza. When ordering I mentioned several times to the waiter that I wanted the ham pizza, he confirmed. When I visited the place was almost empty with a bunch of idle staff. When the pizza came out they brought it with chicken instead of ham. No apologies or offers to make it right, we got up and left. read more

Samuel was a great server and we loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. We wanted a reasonably priced, light lunch and this hit the spot. We had coffee, mocktails and started with the fried calamari. For lunch we had the Poke and the Chicken Bowl. Both were prepared fresh, tasty and would come back again. They serve brunch, a full variety of cocktails and the menu is diverse. Sit outside to enjoy the street views and the birds nibbling on crumbs. read more

What a lucky find as I was headed out for the morning! There's plenty of outdoor space filled with lush greenery to make this feel like a bit of an oasis despite being right on the main street. The hostess was kind when both the couple in front of me and I asked for a different table than initially provided (a small thing, but it makes such a difference!). My server, Giuli, was incredible. So friendly, checked in at just the right moments, and really made me feel welcome and looked after. Apparently, it was also her first day, so props to her and Cafe Americano for hiring her! The chilaquiles was delicious! The chips had a perfect crunch (not your regular tortilla chips, but the quality homemade stuff!), a plethora or meat, and an entire dish of the sauce on the side. Quite impressive and exactly what this Californian has been longing for after 2 years in the North East. read more

This place is a gem of solitude in the vibrant, loud center of South Beach. The food was amazing and always cooked to order perfectly. Maria was our server a couple of the days and she is spectacular. The patio area is filled with relaxing music and is best enjoyed with a tasty mocha latte. I found the prices to be reasonable (as reasonable as they can be in South Beach). We ate here every day and are thrilled we found it the first morning of our visit. Do yourself a favor, go eat here early is your visit. read more

During Art Basel, I finally had a chance to check out Cafe Americano in Miami for lunch on my visit from LA. It has inside and outside dining, but when in Miami, it's always best to eat outside and enjoy the weather and people watch. Our waiter was Ismael. He was fantastic! I have to say he's one of the nicest waiters I have ever had in Miami and I visit a lot! He suggested his fave drinks and food but wasn't pushy about it. We followed his advice with the drinks and ordered the Passionfruit and Strawberry Mojitos. Ismael was spot on because they were soooo good. Then for lunch we ordered the Crispy Calamari, Ceviche Sliders, Caesar Salad, and Cuban Club. The calamari was good but I didn't like the dipping sauce so Ismael brought me some other good sauces like spicy mayo. The ceviche sliders were my fave so tasty. The Caesar salad was also good and the Cuban Club was a very hearty sandwich. My boyfriend (who's from Miami) ordered that and said it wasn't what he expected but he still enjoyed it. The atmosphere was great with the Christmas decorations in place, especially the life size Nutcracker Doll. This place is good to go to for a quick bite with good service and fun people watching. I would come back here if I wanted something quick and filling and of course to visit the amazing Ismael who made us feel so welcomed :-) read more

friendly place friendly people good food nice location nice atmosphere beautiful landscaping on the outside

Cool vibe and excellent outdoor seating that is mostly covered and away from the sidewalk. Omelet was overcooked but potatoes and toast were wonderful. My significant ordered blueberry pancakes which were good, but no blueberries in the batter -- only on top of the pancakes. A bird flew on to our table/ my food about halfway through brunch and I kind of lost my appetite. They took 10% off the check! read more

Located right below Uma House hotel, it was very conveniently located so we dined here twice. Great patio vibe but avoid the seats directly under the tree. We had to move after a bird hit us three times. My husband enjoyed the poke bowl. I had the chicken and waffles with good flakes. Unfortunately the chicken was dry and tasted a bit off. read more

Just walked out. Asked if they could accommodate my allergy, they cannot. They were rude about it to boot. Just odd

Imagine the night of 31st December at 11.00 PM and trying to find a table to get some drinks. Most of the restaurants on the ocean dr are charging $500 or more for a table and we got lucky that the Kitchen and the bartender quit around 11.30 PM. We got a table, ordered drinks quickly and settled down to watch the fireworks on the beach. This is an excellent location because we could fireworks from multiple cities and enjoyed the drinks and desserts. Both were too sweet IMHO but the table made for it. read more

After a five mile walk on Miami Beach, my crew got hungry and thirsty. Seeing we exited the beach on Collins Blvd., right in the heart of this community, we had a bevy of restaurants to choice from. After our week in the Florida Keys, seafood was off our radar due to the fact we had it every day. We all just wanted salads and a bottle of Pellegrino water, so, we wisely chose Cafe Americano! I ordered a fantastic Caesar salad with chicken, my wife had Chicken Brasas Bowl and my sister had a Tuna Poke Bowl they both really enjoyed. We loved our lunch in MiamiBeach, eating outside in 76° weather as we leave back to Chicago in two days where it will be snowing when we land. After tomorrow, we will have ate and drank our way through Southern Florida - It's been a delicious trip. read more

2.5 really. Food was alright, very poor service sadly. Sat and ordered, food didn't take long but they only gave us little glasses of water which sat empty on the table for most of the time we were there. Would've asked for a refill but our server was OOO most of the time, even though it was very empty. Food was ok. Napkins came dirty (see pic) before the food even arrived. Finished our food and waited 40+ min for the check. My friend actually went to the bathroom and saw the server just chatting in the back w a bartender. She ended up going back after a while to ask for the check since he still hadn't come. Of course the 20% service charge is automatically included as it is all over Miami. I understand the reasoning behind it but it allows for lazy service which I don't like. Probably would recommend walking around and finding a different place if you have the time. read more

Good place for a quick lunch. We ordered the mahi tacos. They were pretty good, the pickled slaw was great on the tacos, the corn mash was pretty good as well. Our server was Aeylen and she was great. FOODIES BEWARE: Like many restaurants in Miami they charge a 20% service fee right off the bat so consider that when you are calculating your tip. read more

We came in for breakfast on a Sunday morning during brunch hours, they weren't that busy. The server eventually took our order and it seems like a long wait. When the food finally came out. Dishes was correct, and the other was not. He blamed it on the kitchen, however, after watching other people order the electronic device they order from shows a picture of what you order, he kept blaming the kitchen and said the food would be ready in five minutes, after 12 minutes I went and canceled. He apologized and blame the kitchen again, it was not the kitchen. But as with most restaurants on Miami Beach, she still got his 20% tip. The food we ended up getting which was the leches French toast was pretty good, we ended up sharing it, it would be too heavy of a dish for one person I think. read more
