Located inside Fairchild Botanical Garden, the Glasshouse Cafe is excellent. In most places like…read morethis, one wouldn't expect much better than snack bar food. However, the choices and quality of the food is a pleasant surprise. While not a traditional Cuban sandwich, the flavor of the pork is some of the best I've had. Also tried the chicken club wrap and it was fresh, light, and healthy. Besides the food, the backside of the interior seating has floor to ceiling windows of the butterfly enclosure. It is really nice to get off your feet, enjoy a delicious bite, and still enjoy the butterflies fluttering about.

This is one of my favorite museum/ garden restaurants. We were at Fairchild Tropical Gardens for…read moreSmithsonian Museum Day. Since admission was free a lot of other people had the same idea. To get your food at the Glasshouse you check out the menu and order at the outside window. They give you one of those plastic squares that vibrate when your food is ready and then pick up your order at the inside window. You can then eat inside or out. It was blazing hot out and the line was long but the staff handled it well and kept the line moving forward. They have a nice variety of sandwiches, salads, soups, drinks, and desserts. Prices are a reasonable $8 to $14 for a sandwich. They even had a board with some specials for museum day. I prefer to eat inside because I love their dining room not to mention the air conditioning. The whole back glass wall of the dining area looks onto the Wings of the Tropics butterfly garden and it's beautiful. While we were eating we got to watch numerous butterflies and we even saw the hummingbird flit around the flowers. The ceiling has a gorgeous Chihuly glass sculpture hanging from it. For lunch we shared the croque-monsieur and the La Basque's club sandwich with grilled chicken and bacon. Both were delicious. For dessert we had one of the large chocolate chip cookies that had three kinds of chocolate in it. All of that plus two sodas came to $28. I love eating at the Glasshouse when I come to visit the gardens. The food is of a higher quality than most attractions and the view is one of my favorites.

So when I came back another time for dinner, I was exited for that soup, but sadly they were out. I got a salad with tuna. It was fresh and tasty but I felt the portions small for the prices you pay.

Service was friendly, but not the most attentive and the place maybe had one other table sat.

The feta omelette wasn't what was expected; black olives were placed inside the omelette and not cooked with it. Was told they had the best croissants, so had to put them to the test. The pistachio and guava & cheese croissants were large enough to share between three people. They were both tasty and generously stuffed, but pistachio was the winner. The restaurant was busy, one large party and several others of 3-4 people. Be prepared for a very long wait for the food, unless you order to go. Drinks came out pretty quickly after ordering.

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

A neighbor, who is a baker, suggested we try Joanna's for their pastries. We were excited to see…read moreHamantash. We bought 6 of them @ 32$ in apricot/raspberry and poppyseed. 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.

My husband said his cortadito was weak, too much milk. I will come back for croissants, not for coffee.

When I first walked into this French inspired bakery cafe, my party of 8 was greeted and seated…read morepromptly. We also were given menus and water swiftly. It took a bit for our waiter to stroll back around to take our order, and for a Sunday morning brunch, I wouldn't have considered this place a "packed" house. When the time came around, I was first to place my order, I wanted something different so I ordered Shakshuka. Of course; I did my quick research of the dish before getting to the restaurant! Shakshuka is suppose to be a one-skillet egg dish, the eggs are basted in this rich, thick red pepper, tomato, onions, and garlic sauce, topped with satueed peppers. I also ordered a French toast and chai latte! Fast forward to when everyone dishes were dropped off, even though I was first to order my dish did not arrive. I waited around for 10-15 minutes, my whole family was pretty much done with their meals. I had to call over our waitress to advise my order was never dropped at the table. After letting her know, my dish was expedited to the table in less than 5 minutes. Could they have been a rush to send out the dish? Possibly. Because that was the worst dish ever and nothing like described. The peppers were not sautéed (or little to nothing) and were just sliced, plated for decor. The tomato/red pepper based sauce seemed like it was just canned tomato sauce, very liquid-y. Simply was not fond of this dish. The french toast were more like hard french toast sticks, I would've liked it to be on the fluffier end, but they were hard/toasted. Nothing that blew my mind. As far as my chai latte, it was divine! The perfect warm hug. The chai to steamed milk ratio was on point, and topped cinnamon. My mom ordered their $42 Entrecöte Frites; man, did that sound delicious. As a true steak connoisseur, she loves a bleeding rare steak! So that was the temperature she ordered, rare. I was excited to snag a bite or two from her plate to be the judge it for myself. The plate dropped the first time, she cut right in the middle of it to see the finishing temperature... it was wrong. Sent it right back. The second time it hit the table, the temperature was correct. A bright red center and a seared exterior, just what she was looking for. However, it was so salty, you just could not get past all the salt, nothing to enjoy. Not edible, unless you wanted clogged arteries right then and there! My wife ordered a caprese sandwich. Yes, I also took a bite of that while waiting my for my order(lol). The baguette bread was airy, delicious, and soft. The mozzarella was fresh and the tomatoes were nice and ripe. I also tried their croissants, almond and chocolate croissant, pistachio croissant, and Nutella croissant. They were buttery, flaky, and all the fillings complimented it well. My conclusion to La Boulangerie is you have to be selective about what you order from here. Maybe they had an off day and we were the unlucky ones, but the more complicated meals turned out to taste the worst. However, you can definitely enjoy light bites here... you can't go wrong with a baguette sandwich, coffee, or a pastry. I think baking and light fare is where their true expertise lies.

Additionally I love how they cook all of the eggs here. They are absolutely beautiful and perfectly cooked. When we walked in there were so many amazing looking pastries that we wanted to try, so we got two. The pistachio croissant was good, but the Nutella Cruffin was by far my favorite of the two. Both have such flaky layers and are stuffed with the fillings! there are not a ton of tables inside to eat, but the service is great and the food is beautifully prepared and tastes amazing. I would 100% recommend coming here! We drove 40 min to try this place and I would say it was worth it!

This was my first trip to…read moreMiami, and a friend from San Diego told me there was one place I absolutely had to visit....Emissary. They were right. The coffee was incredible, the food was perfection, and the staff were unbelievably kind and welcoming. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. It honestly felt like it had been grown in someone's backyard garden. I had the tuna salad with seven-minute eggs (amazing), and my son got the breakfast sandwich... which my husband claimed he didn't want until he took one bite and immediately wanted to come back before we flew home. On our second visit, they had sold out of the brioche bun for the sandwich and we were so disappointed but one of the staff members (owner, manager, or actual angel) overheard me talking to my husband and offered to make it on different bread. They went completely above and beyond, and the sandwich was still unbelievable. Amazing food, amazing coffee, and customer service that truly made us feel cared for. We'll be talking about Emissary long after this trip.

Perfect place to…read moresit at the bar with your laptop, have a relaxed breakfast, or meet for a business coffee without feeling rushed. Service is fast, the healthy breakfast options look amazing, and the coffee is honestly 10/10. If you prefer a creamier coffee, go for the latte; if you like a stronger coffee taste, the cappuccino is perfect. Most importantly, the coffee is served at the right temperature -- not overheated like in many places. Beautiful interior design, cozy outdoor seating, and since it's not located directly on a busy road, it stays calm and quiet outside too. Definitely one of those spots that makes you want to stay longer.
