But what really made the experience exceptional was the service. A huge thank you to Nico, who never let my coffee cup get anywhere near empty. It's those little details that make you feel genuinely taken care of. And Jose was an incredible server friendly, attentive, personable, and on top of everything from start to finish. Great food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere. This is how you create loyal customers. The main reason this is my absolute regular stop every weekend, highly recommend Bagel Emporium to anyone looking for a fantastic meal and an even better dining experience.

This morning, I stopped by Bagel Emporium & Grille…read more Being originally from the New York & Philly area, we've been seriously craving a proper bagel--and this place delivered. The BEC everything bagel was delicious and definitely met my partner's expectations. The plain bagel with schmear was just as satisfying--fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for. The experience was made even better by the owner/manager -David Strawderman- who was welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does.

Think of Mainzer's Deli as a Bavarian bodega. Sure, you could do a bit of grocery shopping, but…read morelet's be honest, you're here to hunt down oddball snacks and niche sundries you didn't know you needed. Open since the '70s, these Pinecrest pioneers launched their Central European mini‑market as a side hustle, all while earning their keep as classical musicians. That kind of multitasking deserves a drink. Start smart with a refreshment like Almdudler. The closest American parallel is a love child of Dr. Pepper and Sprite, but that sells it short. This Austrian classic is a bit herbal thanks to elderflower and sage, yet snaps with lemon zest, and happily moonlights as a mixer for beer, wine, vodka, and even cold brew. Honorable mentions go to Apfelschorle (apple juice spritz) and the pride of Salzburg's suds, Stiegl blond lager. Whether you believe the lozenge or the tea came first, Ricola Schweizer Kräutertee, an instant herb tea, will knock a cold flat on its back. In my home, it completes an anti‑illness trinity alongside Advil and Vicks VapoRub. Mainzer's also stocks a tight but thoughtful lineup of German personal‑care creams and cosmetics, because sometimes your sinuses and skin are on red alert. The deli slings cold sandwiches stacked with Schinken (ham) or Gelbwurst, a pork‑and‑veal bologna seasoned with ginger, nutmeg, and white pepper that can be customized with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, or mustard. Hot subs come piled onto rolls with sauerkraut and mustard. The Brat and Weisswurst lead the sales, but the Double-Smoked BLT remains a point of almost defiant pride for the Mainzer clan. I could keep waxing poetic about all the shelf treasures, but this women‑owned piece of Pinecrest history demands boots on the ground. Dive into the unusually deep selection of chocolates and marzipan, debate the finest ketchup for a currywurst, and boldly snack where few South Floridians have snacked before.

Not a great brat. I was made to feel like I wasn't wanted compared to another customer that was a…read more"regular". If you want German products it's a good place to go.

If you love bagels, love quality nova, love a great platter, love those pickles and cole slaw (best…read morein town!), fresh roasted coffee and love great service in a comfy setting, then Roasters N' Toaster is the only deli for you in South Florida. I've been coming to the Roasters original Pinecrest location for 26 years. And for most of those Ivan has been working Sunday mornings! Their bagels are always on point, which I usually request to be scooped and toasted (my technique is cream cheese first, then whitefish salad inside the scoop) and come in all the good flavors, but none of the not a bagel flavors. Their nova comes in multiple grades (regular and Acme(tm)) which is sliced by Florida's top professional "nova slayer" in such a way that it is just better than the best you'll have anywhere else. Their whitefish salad is the most classic and perfectly prepared I have had anywhere. The original Roasters is the only NY Deli in Miami that always lives up to the name.

They are quick to take your drink orders and food orders when you are ready. Service is very good and they are always available for any drink refills and they keep your table clean. The place is very clean with a New York deli experience. The atmosphere is simple. They have outdoor seating and many menu selections. Their bread or beagles are very fresh and their food is never over seasoned and they give you generous portions. Parking can be a challenge depending on what time you go. It is a small strip mall that has a popular grocery store. For me this is a great breakfast place. I have never been here for lunch. They never rush you to leave and it is never too loud for conversation. I always look forward to coming here.

So lovely my eyes watered. Also, such welcoming staff! Can't wait to return! Such good quality!read more

My wife and I were excited to try one. YOWZER, They were ridiculously hard, dry and you could taste baking powder. Plain Horrible! We couldn't even bite into it, we even tried to break a piece off and couldn't. These couldn't have been made with butter, NO WAY! They were so dry and hard. I felt embarrassed and did not serve them to company. Big mistake, My advice, if you visit Joanna's, just buy one of whatever you may want and taste it beforehand. otherwise you will end up with dry tasteless paper weights.

The bread was toasted well. However the portion is small, the price is high ($28 as of 2026) and they put an automatic tip even with minimal service. Come if your not able to get good pastrami but not worth coming otherwise.

We will NEVER go back to this restaurant which was a destination for us before. We LOVED it and are now profoundly disappointed. So sad. New management is not co tinging the Josh's Deli high standards. Really, Josh should insist that his name be removed. Looks bad on him.

The hot dog was very good. It didn't really come with much however, just a bag of chips, a sliced pickle and sauerkraut on top. But it was a yummy hotdog I must say. I had a coconut rum Mojito, which was quite tasty. Our waitress, Jenny, was very friendly and attentive without being obtrusive. They have a lot of tables and we were seated comfortably. Fortunately, they have a parking lot just for the restaurants and they do not charge a parking fee, which is a plus in South Miami. They had an extensive menu and I sure would like to go back and try some of the items on it.

My friend and I…read moreusually go to the spot in Midtown but the service tonight made this my new favorite location. Everyone from the bartenders to the server, to the hostesses were all extremely lovely and accommodating. They were very hospitable and made sure that any request that we had would be attempted. We ordered the Swordfish special and Cacio E Pepe pasta. The pasta was good but the swordfish was really what was cooked to perfection! It was not too soft but not rubbery at all. I liked the lemon caper butter sauce as well. We also grabbed a burrata because...why not? It was also decadent and scrumptious despite it being a slightly small portion size but still adequate for two to share. We were also asked if we wanted any extra cheese on top of the pasta which we definitely obliged! The lighting was gorgeous on the patio and very romantic. It was a nice spot right in the heart of Coral Gables and the nice experience has me wanting to return so soon.
