Hey foodies! Last…read morestop on my Miami food run, and I think I saved one of the best for last! We stopped at First Watch, a breakfast, brunch, and lunch spot, and we went for breakfast. When I tell you I fell in love, I mean it! The atmosphere was so cozy, calm, airy, and incredibly clean. It's the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy a great meal. Let's start with the drinks! Purple Haze - Made with lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea, and a hint of lavender. It was refreshing, unique, and absolutely delicious. Watermelon Wake-Up - Watermelon, pineapple, lime, and mint. I grabbed this one to go, and it was the perfect refreshing drink. Oh... did I forget to mention they have boozy brunch drinks too? If you're in the mood to kick off your brunch with a cocktail, they've got you covered! Now for the food! My husband was all about the Bob's Red Mill Cheesy Grits with bacon. He couldn't stop talking about how delicious they were. I had the Banana Brittle French Toast, featuring thick-cut custard-dipped challah bread topped with almond butter crème anglaise, caramelized bananas, fresh blueberries, lemon whipped cream, honey roasted almonds, Maldon sea salt, mint, and a light dusting of cinnamon sugar. Every bite was sweet, flavorful, and so satisfying. And whatever you do, don't leave without ordering the Biscuit with Butter, Honey, and Preserves. Chef's kiss! It was warm, fluffy, buttery, and absolutely amazing. The best surprise? I found out they're opening a First Watch near me in Bethlehem, PA, so you already know I'll be there ASAP! Food: 10/10 Drinks: 10/10 Atmosphere: 10/10 If you're looking for a breakfast or brunch spot with amazing food, refreshing drinks, and even a few boozy options, First Watch is definitely worth checking out!

My friend and I stopped here while on vacation in Miami. He had never been to First Watch before,…read moreso I felt it was my responsibility to introduce him properly. When we arrived, the place was packed. We added our names to the waitlist and ended up waiting a little over 30 minutes. Thankfully, the process was easy and they texted us when our table was ready. There was also plenty of parking available in the large shopping center lot. Once seated, we were taken to a table in the back near the windows, which was a nice touch. The restaurant felt very spacious. I never felt crowded or like I was sitting on top of other guests. The dining room was bright, clean, and had the welcoming atmosphere that First Watch is known for. The service was excellent from start to finish. Unfortunately, I did not catch anyone's name, but every employee we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and professional. For breakfast, I ordered The Traditional with scrambled eggs and cheese, smoked ham, whole grain artisan toast, and I substituted the seasoned potatoes for cheesy grits. I also ordered an orange juice. Everything was good. The eggs were cooked well, the grits were creamy, and the orange juice was fresh and refreshing. My only small complaint is that I could have used another piece of smoked ham or a slightly larger portion. My friend ordered the Tri Fecta with an extra egg and bacon, along with the Morning Meditation juice, which combines orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar, and beet. He enjoyed everything and had no complaints. Overall, that pretty much sums up the meal. Nothing was bad and everything was prepared well. At the same time, neither of us walked away completely blown away. It was simply a solid breakfast experience with good food, excellent service, and reasonable prices. I would absolutely come back to this location and to First Watch in general. It is a dependable brunch spot that consistently delivers a good experience.

Come with me to Cafe Bea's Palmetto Bay location. Cafe Bea has been on my list to try for years, so…read morewhen my friend suggested it for brunch, it was an easy yes. To drink, I had their orange juice and a cappuccino. The OJ was freshly made and refreshing. The cappuccino is one of the better ones I've ever had. To start, we had the cheese croquettes, nicely filled, crispy, and delicious. I had their eggs with ham and toast. 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.

Was craving a brunch dish today and decided to try this place out. The ambiance is very cute, decor…read moreis nice and family friendly environment. 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.

Mushroom and eggplant. It was out of this world. Our server was very sweet, though she seemed brand new, as she had to check on everything, and the guy behind the counter was the owner's son, so he helped a lot. I like to try new places, and was my second time here, but I decided that I will have to come more often.

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!
