    Cafe Papillon By the Beach had Decent breakfast for a decent price. Simple menu and breakfast served all day. I ordered the number 74, Super MADA's along with my cocktail drink sangria. My waitress was kind and polite. Greeted me right away and served. Everything was good! Definitely hit the spot! Definitely a spot for locals and 5 minutes away from the beach. Check em out!

    Mimosa to start the day!!!

    Such a cute spot near the beach with an excellent vibe and beautiful decor. The food and drinks were both great, and the prices were very reasonable! I had the pan con lechón (pulled pork sandwich) and it was sooo good - definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area! Service also excellent!

    Outside the bathroom to request champagne. I don't think it actually works

    This was a great little cafe. I can't believe it wasn't busier. It's decorated so cute. The food was really good! I got the Papillon's Specialty Omelette sandwich and it was divine. We found it to be very reasonably priced. The only strange thing was both TVs, albeit muted, were both playing conservative news channels.

    We've eaten here twice so far! It's a great addition to the neighborhood. They've done a great job with the decor! You really feel transported into a little section of Paris. The service is great - just attentive enough, and the food comes quickly. Prices are reasonable for high quality food. Our first time here, we shared the Thin Guy breakfast, which came with eggs, turkey bacon, fruit and a coffee. Next visit, Larry had the chicken tacos and I had the avocado sandwich, which came with tomato and mozzarella cheese. Extra $1 for a drink; I passed as I don't do soda or juices. The sandwich came on fantastic bread and was a huge portion. I was set for the rest of the day! Very satisfying. Papillon is definitely getting added to our regular rotation!

    Best affordable brunch spot ever! Bottomless mimosas, incredible menu, and everything was a really great price. We sat outside, there was an awning which made it a really nice spot. Bottomless mimosas come in 2hr and 3hr options.

    Ham croquetas, Spanish style

    Amazing Spanish food and service! Don't be fooled by the extensive menu that might look a little weird. We only had tapas and they were fantastic, as good as in Spain. We had the ham croquetas. Delicious and well presented. They come in four but I took the picture after we had 3. We couldn't wait! We ordered the Tortilla española, which was so perfect. The texture, the flavor and the presentation. We also had the Gambones Al ajlllo. The chef even came to tell us he added an extra one so each of us could have 4 instead of 3 and a half. So sweet. He is the nicest chef I've ever met (and I have met several nice chefs). They also serve you complimentary bread with tomato sauce and little pieces of jamón ibérico. An even better extra touch. The decoration is beautiful as well. Give a try to this amazing place so need in an area with many restaurants but not an amazing Spanish place.

    I got the omlette and cappuccino!

    I loved this place! Emilio was amazing and he was the waiter and the drinks were delicious. I loved the ambiance and the food. Food came quickly and Emilio kept checking in and making sure everything was good. Would come back again!

    New breakfast/lunch spot in the space where Merkado 31 used to be. This is my new favorite spot in North Beach for breakfast. There's a nice, filling breakfast option on the menu-Magda's combo. I get it everytime I come here. It's such great value ($9.99) and yummy. Isabelle is the best server. She's so friendly and attentive. The interior is very gaudy and offers many opportunities for IG posts of your trip to Miami.

    We stumbled on this place after walking on the beach boardwalk. Conveniently one block from beach. They have the cutest decor of a lifestyle mermaid when you enter and good vibes only selfie area and lots of flowers and a cute phone booth. It really set the tone for a happy place. The menu has breakfast, brunch on Sunday only, lunch, and dinner. We ordered the breakfast platter with everything served on a large wood board, #74. It had eggs, bacon, hash brown, waffle toast, baguette, and fruit. It fed an adult and two kids. Perfect size. The fresh orange juice was great. The service was amazing. They were so attentive. The bathroom was cute. They had another life size mermaid and mirrors all over the wall with words of encouragement. They opened 2 months ago. Definitely recommend when you are close to 71st and collins.

    I just love a good brunch find!! We went here on a Saturday and had the Magda's shareable breakfast! Everything was tasty and came out quick! For 2 coffees and breakfast coming in at a whopping $27 is a pleasant surprise for the beach! Cute decoration for photos and friendly service! Oh and let's not forget bottomless mimosa!! We will be returning soon to try some other items!!

    If you haven't been to Papillon by the Beach yet, you're seriously missing out. The menu is full of fresh, flavorful dishes, but a few have definitely become my favorites so far. This is our second night coming to dinner. The Vinagrete Mixed Seafood was our appetizer and was told it is super popular - it's light, fresh, and packed with octopus, scallops, mussels, and squid, all topped off with a little guacamole. I indeed love how refreshing it is! The Tataki-Style Picanha is my fiancé's favorite by far. It's grilled perfectly to the temp you'd like and has a bold, juicy flavor with a side of roasted potato wedges. If you're into seafood, the Hake Fillet is a total winner - finished with garlic, cayenne, and a splash of sherry vinegar, it's simple but so good. And for something hearty and comforting, the Madrid-Style Stew hits the spot. It's rich, warm, and just feels like a big food hug, felt back home in my southern roots. For dessert the apple tarte and French toast custard we got. We could not decide between one or the other so we ended up getting both. The bourbon ice cream def hits different with the creamy custard like texture of the French toast. The apple tarte very soft, smooth and appley, server with a scoop of ice cream as well. This place couldn't get any better with their dinner items.

    Steak sandwich
    Madison G.

    This place was a great lunch option! I got the jamon serrano and manchego sandwich which was very good. The olive tapenada doesn't really go with the flavor and could be better with just some olive oil, but I still really enjoyed it. The steak sandwich was great too and the portions are huge! This gave us both two meals, for a $20 price. Great deal, great food. Service was ok - took a bit.

    Delicious food and such a nice ambience. I had the huevos rancheros and they were so tasty. Highly recommend, it's a solid choice.

    Closed 40 minutes before what the store sign and Yelp say. Skinny dude with funky dark haircut gave…read moreus meanlooks and an attitude when asked why they're closed already.

    Dishonest establishment and mediocre bobo tea …read more.. I've been a loyal customer for a few years and have seen this place change a lot. It started as a great boba tea lounge with Japanese cheesecakes, but now it's more of a random pastry shop selling whatever the owner brings to the shop to sell. I miss the original vibe, but I kept coming back. Lately, though, the boba teas have been hit or miss, it really depends on who makes them. At this point, they're just not worth the price. What really bothered me today was seeing an automatic gratuity added to my receipt and the staff didn't mention it. The girl serving me didn't let me know about it, so I ended up leaving an extra tip on top of that without realizing. When I asked her about it, she said she didn't know when the policy started and that the automatic tip doesn't go to her, just the extra tip does. So either the owner is stealing from the staff, or she's is lying to get extra tips. Either way, it didn't seem right. I've stuck with this place through all its changes, but the lack of honesty and transparency is a deal-breaker for me. Sadly, I won't be coming back. I will definitely not come back for mediocre boba tea that comes with a 15% automatic gratuity.. SORRY!!
