    Vinimos a Miami y, de camino a Los Ángeles, California, decidimos parar a probar comida colombiana auténtica, ¡y este lugar no nos decepcionó! La comida estuvo increíble y el personal fue súper amable. El ambiente es genial y los platos deliciosos. Pedimos el Trío de tostones y la Bandeja Paisa -- ¡mira las fotos! Definitivamente volveremos en nuestro próximo viaje. We stopped in Miami on our way to Los Angeles and decided to grab some authentic Colombian food -- and this place did not disappoint! The food was incredible, and the staff was super friendly. Great atmosphere, delicious dishes -- we ordered the Trio Tostones and the Bandeja Paisa (check out the pics!). We'll definitely be back on our next trip.

    An amazing beef stew with fantastic sides.

    Man do I absolutely love these hidden gems. If you are ever in the area or hungry for a great meal, you have to make it a point to stop in. The food and the service live up to the essence of Colombia. Warm, friendly people who cater to you with an absolutely fantastic meal. The arepas have a nice toast to the outside with a delightful moist center. The beef stew is hearty and incredibly flavorful and their chicharron is mouth wateringly good. The avocado was fresh, the tostones and fried yuca had just the right crunch and texture. You have to stop by and experience both the charm and flavors of this wonderful gem.

    The food is good. The service is really good, it was empty so it was fast. The ambiance is chill and calm, perfect to hang out with friends.

    Typical Colombian food, nice location. 3 level Bandeja paisa is huge and very good. Chuleta Valluna was also good. The coconut lemonade was very refreshing and delicious.

    Took family for a nice dinner for moms birthday and loved the place. The bandeja paisa XL is your options you go with the family.. honestly 10/10. Everything was great but the empanadas

    La comida estuvo super deliciosa. Es un buen lugar para almorzar casualmente. El servicio estuvo bien , fueron muy atentos.

    Calentado Machetico and chicharron for breakfast!!! It was so good I wish I could've eaten it all!!!!

    Great food, fast service, great staff. By far one of the best and authentic Colombian breakfast places you will find in Miami! They also have amazing lunch and dinner

    An omelet, chicharrón, and two waffles out of the box, saggy, soft, not made fresh.

    When I ask for pancakes, they said the cook forgot, then the waitress never keeps up with her clients, but still bad quality and very small portions for the price!

    The food was delicious and service was good. I like the vibes this place has. You can sit outside…read moreor inside. The inside room space is small. The portion size was good size. I got the immunity drink which was tasty. I would go back again. Its close to the Hyatt we stayed at. I would recommend this place.

    I honestly don't understand how this place has more than 4 stars on Yelp…read more We ordered the Shakshuka, Steak & Eggs, and two orders of pancakes. The Shakshuka was okay--perfectly edible, but nothing memorable. The Steak & Eggs was pretty much the same: decent, but definitely not worth the premium price. The biggest disappointment was the pancakes. They were dense, had noticeable lumps in the batter, and were nowhere near as light and fluffy as good pancakes should be. The syrup also didn't taste like real maple syrup, which was surprising considering how expensive everything is. Speaking of prices, Café Bastille is seriously overpriced for what it delivers. The restaurant also wasn't cool enough inside--the air conditioning struggled to keep the space comfortable, which made the meal less enjoyable. The one bright spot was the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and did an excellent job throughout the meal. One more thing that is becoming increasingly frustrating in Miami: the bill already included a mandatory 20% gratuity. While I always tip for good service, automatically adding 20% regardless of the experience feels excessive. This trend is getting out of control and takes away the customer's ability to reward service based on merit. Overall, this feels like a place designed more for tourists than for locals. Nice presentation and good marketing, but the food simply doesn't justify the prices. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back.

I also love how convenient it is to order through the self-service terminal; it makes the whole experience quick and easy. LGBTQ+ friendly A special shoutout to Melanie -- she makes an amazing coffee and is always so friendly and attentive. The latte temperature is perfect, and the foam texture is exactly how it should be: smooth, creamy, and well-balanced. My favorite is the 10 oz latte -- I think it has the perfect ratio of milk to coffee. Every time I come here, the quality is consistent, which is something I really appreciate. The pastries are delicious, and they also have great sandwiches. Overall, this place has a great atmosphere, quality coffee, and a lovely team. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots in Brickell!

I happened to be in the area so I checked out this place which was pretty cool. They had bar seating, couch seating with tables as well as outdoor seating. A lot of people were there working on their computers while having drinks and pastries. I had a salted caramel latte which I ordered at the computer and was served quickly. I requested it with oat milk, but it was made with whole milk and the barista had no issue remaking it for me, which was nice. The flavor was amazing with just the right amount of salt and caramel; it was not too sweet and it was very smooth. The only issue I had was the parking, there was absolutely no place to park so I had to double park in an alley and run in to get my drink. However, I imagine if you live or work in the area it would be a cute place to pop in and get a beverage. They also had empanadas and some various pound cake slices which people were partaking in so I imagine they were decent.

The restaurant was so cute and even thought a World Cup game was in the tv, you didn't hear it. I had the 2-2-2 and instead of the potatoes I substituted a side of fruit. Heaven! It all tasted so good. A friend had an Açaí bowl and the other the B.E.L.T. No one got enough! We wanted more. We were taken care of by Patricia and she was lovely. She wasn't overbearing and hovering, but checked in just enough to keep our drinks full. The next time I'm in Miami I know where I'm eating.

After we received our food, our server never came back to check on us. She spent nearly the entire time attending to another table, leaving us without any service. I eventually had to ask a different server for water, and I was given hot water instead of cold. To make matters worse, the food itself was bland and lacked flavor. Between the poor service and the disappointing meal, this was not a pleasant dining experience. I hope management addresses these issues, as good customer service and quality food should be a priority.

The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

They also automatically add tip. I ordered the quesadilla, and there is an option to add mushrooms/onions on the menu. Online it shows the quesadilla is $13, when I ordered it was $14 + 2.50 for onions and tomatoes (which ended up coming on the side). Also, when I asked to order that, the waitress was a bit rude. So I ended up paying $17.82 for a terrible quesadilla and experience. I really liked the horchata matcha though (hence the 2 stars).
