Perfect decor for cozy and vibrant meeting place. The space is not huge but has a wide selection of seating areas and styles (I'm sorry there aren't any pictures for this visit!) 2) service: nailed it. Alex greeted me immediately as I walked through. Explained the menu and gave recommendations according to how tired I was 3) I ordered an iced latte and it was perfect. Not bitter, but balanced. Will be coming back when I'm not in a rush!

I was a long-time loyal customer of the Kendall location and was so excited when I heard they would…read morebe opening one right next to my house. However, after 3 visits, I can confidently say this location is horrible and seriously needs to visit the Kendall location and take notes. Every single time I've gone, the shop has been practically empty besides what seem to be employees or owners sitting around eating and drinking, yet somehow the service is unbelievably slow. I constantly order simple items like empanadas -- which were my go-to at the Kendall location -- and there, despite the place always being packed with actual customers, I never waited more than 5 minutes. At this location? I've waited close to 20 minutes for ONE empanada while employees stood around doing nothing. On top of that, they never include sauces unless you ask, whereas at the Kendall location it was automatic and part of the experience. It's honestly disappointing because I wanted to love this place, but the lack of urgency, poor service, and overall atmosphere make it feel like a completely different business from the Kendall location.

I did want to try one of their croissants before I left but the line was too long after, so I'll definitely be back to try other items!

The space is absolutely adorable, small, modern, perfectly located inside the community center of Pinecrest. Everything looked clean and inviting, the dessert display definitely caught my eye. The carrot cake looks specifically delicious. I'm a sucker for carrot cake - which I'll give salty Sisters another try just for the desserts. When I visited, it wasn't very busy, which my coffee order took longer than expected. I completely understand that they're newly open, they're still trying to figure out the flow of things. As for the coffee, which, of course that's what I was craving, i'd say it was average. Not bad, but not particularly memorable either. My only real feedback is that I asked for vanilla syrup to be added and it appeared to have been poured over the ice instead into the hot espresso first. As the ice melted, the syrup settled in the bottom leaving a thick layer that never fully mixed into the coffee. It's a small detail. I think this place has a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their desserts instead of their coffee + hopefully updating this review after another visit.

I stopped by Café Bea for breakfast this morning and it ended up being one of those spots that…read morefeels like a hidden neighborhood gem. The place has a really cozy, relaxed vibe -- nothing overly fancy, just a comfortable café where you can sit, enjoy good food, and take your time. There's a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating, which is perfect for Miami mornings. The menu leans Mediterranean with some Latin influences, and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully put together. I started with the croquetas, which were crispy on the outside and creamy inside -- easily one of the highlights. For my main dish I had the avocado toast with serrano ham, avocado and over easy eggs, and the flavors were simple but really well balanced. The bread was perfectly toasted and the ingredients tasted high quality. Service was friendly and welcoming and were attentive. A couple small things to note: weekends can get crowded, and you might have to wait a bit for a table. But honestly, the food and atmosphere make it worth it. Overall, Café Bea is a great spot if you're looking for a laid-back brunch with really solid food and coffee. It's the kind of place you could easily become a regular at.

I was happy to see that they had a lot of different options for lunch. As I walked in, I was greeted promptly and allowed to sit wherever I wanted. Dislocation is cute with some decor that makes it feel warm. For my sandwich I had the chicken and avocado hoagie. I liked the bread as well as the chicken was well cooked and seasoned. The fries came out nice and hot. There were a lot of different options for the daily specials and I definitely would come back to try some of those.

When I paid, I mentioned that I'm allergic to nuts, and the cashier then told me I couldn't have anything with French toast because the batter contains nuts. Nowhere on the menu does it state that, which is concerning for anyone with allergies. At that point, I was already disappointed. When we received our drinks, my latte was cold. I even asked the runner if she was sure it was mine, and she said yes. After she walked away, I checked my receipt and it clearly said regular (not iced). Overall, it was frustrating. I'd rather just go to Crema down the street next time.

Two of the things attract me to try a new place are local neighborhood restaurants and family owned…read morebusinesses. This one checked off both of those boxes. And so I have now visited three times. Or I should say two since one was a delivery order. This is a rather long review so in case you don't wanna read the whole thing, here's the summary. This place is great. Food is great. Service is great. Restaurant is beautiful. Done. Now everybody else, please read on. I will start with the delivery order. I had a desire for falafel for lunch and found the excellent reviews of this particular restaurant and figured I would give it a try. Did the order through DoorDash and received it much quicker than expected. The falafel was exceptional. Shaped a little bit strangely because they overloaded the scooper to give you more, it was expertly seasoned, freshly made, and delicious. Definitely within my top three in Miami and being right near my home will sit at number one on my list. The fact that they were able to get the order out to DoorDash and arrive at my home still warm, gets it extra points. But the delicious flavor, crunchy on the outside soft on the inside, and even a delightful aroma was really overwhelming. Paid for six got seven! Recently paid for five elsewhere and got four. Again extra points for a wonderful portion. But then look at what is surrounding it. Excellent smoky flavored eggplant. Delicious lentils and rice. Exceptional hummus. Fresh pita. Not a fan of tabouli to begin with so I won't comment except to say it was as good as it gets. Overall, I loved everything on the plate and loved everything about it. Came here for lunch one day with my wife. She had a falafel sandwich which I didn't take note of as I should have because I was so overwhelmed by my delicious lamb Shawarma platter. Again with all the best sides and the baba ghanoush was as good as any I've ever had. But the lamb was so moist and savory and tasty. I've gotta say that their attention to flavor is evident in everything that they serve. And then my other visit. This one was breakfast. Boarded my puppy last night so that my wife and I could have a romantic evening out for her birthday and picked her up this morning and wanted to take her for breakfast. Was thrilled to see that pesto Café and Grill as outside seating. I ordered the lox omelette and a side of bacon. I had coffee and they brought her a nice bowl of water. It does not come with a bagel so there is an up charge which I found mildly annoying but I wanted to try the full experience so I ordered anyway. It also comes with hashbrowns, which I wasn't particularly interested in, but it came with the meal. They make their lox omelette with onions and capers, and I noticed some green onions as well. They also use cream cheese, which I'm not generally a fan of. Since moving to Miami, I see way too much cream cheese being used in way too many ways. What is with this Miami obsession with cream cheese? Some places even put it in my sushi. Blasphemy. Oh but that's not part of this review perfect; for this review I am going to reverse everything I isually say about cream cheese because the flavorful way that they blend this imtoy the omelette as a condiment and not something that overpowers the other flavors was spectacular. I could not enjoy it more. The bacon was a huge order and was cooked perfectly. I hate sloppy greasy bacon. It was as if they knew exactly how I would want it served. Or maybe they just have good taste and serve it like how I like it. My waitress, Kayla was exceptional as well. But the service did not end there. Multiple people from inside came out periodically to make sure that I was happy outside and had everything I needed; that my coffee was full, and my water glass was filled and my table was cleared to unused dishes. They even made sure my dog had water and kept an eye on her water bowl so that it did not get too empty. Who does this? I'll tell you, they do. Eat here I know you will get great food made from the best ingredients and cooked perfectly and served treating you like they you as a customer. Even after I paid, they continued to come outside and make sure I didn't need anything else and fill my coffee without pushing me to leave and allowing me to enjoy my wonderful breakfast. And then to relax and enjoy the beautiful day out in front of their restaurant and be pampered. I didn't just feel like they cared, I realized that they really do. I will be back. Often. I will order from DoorDash from here. Often. And I will recognizing this on social media and recommend it to everyone I know. Often. Because you do not come across a place like this very often.

I had the organic chicken breast bowl, and the chicken was well seasoned and everything in the bowl tasted very fresh. I also had the hot chai tea, which was very good. I loved that they had plenty of milk alternatives to choose from. My partner had the tuna and loved it as well, he said it tasted extremely fresh. The only thing we probably wouldn't order again is the açaí bowl. The açaí was pretty melted and didn't have the consistency we're used to. The fruits on top however were fresh!. The restaurant itself is beautiful, extremely clean, and very well kept. The staff were also wonderful, everyone who helped us, brought out our food, and cleared our table was very kind and friendly. Overall, I would recommend to give AVO a try if you're in the South Miami area. There is also free parking in the back if spaces are available.
