As a pescatarian, I find it very hard to find fantastic tasting restaurants without seafood. However Novela surpassed my expectations. Came in around 11 am just great vibes and excellent service. The feng shui of the room creates a safe, cozy feeling environment. I will definitely be having daydreams about Miami's Novela Cafe Social back home in Texas read more

Cute little spot in Miami, there is a yoga studio connected to the building. You can choose to sit inside or out on the patio. They serve mimosas along with coffee and tea's. I got the shakshuka and it was alright, better with hot sauce. You order then pay and the they bring You, Your order when it's ready. read more

I walked by this place and it was so adorable that I stopped in for breakfast. The $6 mimosa was yummy! Plus it was made with fresh orange juice so I just had to get a glass. The french toast was NOT to my liking. It had too much egg flavor for me. I did not taste any cinnamon or vanilla. I was sooo excited to dive in because it looked so good, but I could only take about 5 bites out of the crust. The middle was too eggy for me. To be fair, I also do not eat eggs alone so that was a HUGE turn off. Nonetheless, the service was great and I would come back to try something different (or just sip on mimosas) read more

A great cafe with a variety of indoor seating to spend some time catching up on work or hanging out with friends or both! I started my day off with their refreshing iced latte and later had their chicken shawarma plate for a late lunch. The shawarma was good and tasty with their pickles and well seasoned chicken. The only con was that it was slightly oily. They have a wider selection of breakfast than lunch items. Overall, the cafe is very nice and the staff are friendly and welcoming. read more

So happy I was told about this great spot! Working from home gets a little boring so I love to try new locations. This place has the perfect ambiance and comfortable seating areas (with plenty of convenient located outlets). So bring your laptop and get some work done when you're in the area. I ordered the avocado tuna salad and it was so good! It's honestly enough to share if you're not too hungry. It has tuna, on top of a bed of greens, with a boiled egg, half an avocado, cherry tomatoes and my favorite Chimichurri toast!! It was so amazing, the tuna alone was so good, but the pairings really took it up a notch. The staff here was super sweet and knowledgeable. It was great meeting Marisabel as she was so attentive and pleasant to us while we dined. read more

Absolutely rude management and no care for the customers request. The manager was upset because I wanted my eggs remade because the yolk was completely cooked and I ordered over medium.

Hunger vs. Quality: I was too hungry to send my burger back, so I ended up with a well-done burger that lacked the juicy flavor I was hoping for. It's disappointing when you anticipate a delicious meal, only to have it miss the mark. Pricing: I also found the prices a bit steep, especially for the drinks. The juices felt overly expensive compared to the overall dining experience. In summary, while Cafe Americano has potential, my experience was just okay. The food quality and value didn't quite align with our expectations. I might consider giving it another try in the future, but I'd approach it with a bit more caution.

On top of the food being bad, it was incredibly expensive too. 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).

Alright, where to start here...everything was absolutely excellent!…read more Parker rolls (3.5/5): going to start with the weakest link. Yes these are viral, no they are not mind blowing. Deliciously fluffy and great with butter but they are still just dinner rolls. Hokkaido scallops (5/5): honestly one of the best bites of food I've had in years. The sweetness of the scallops, slight spice from the sauce, and balanced with pickled ginger...perfection. No words after bite 1, near tears after bite 2. Agnolotti (5/5): get this. The corn, crab, sauce...everything about this worked. This is like a healthy work environment where everyone lifts each other up. You'll get the sweet, the chew, the softness, the salty. Just get it. 26 oz ribeye (4.5/5) with peppercorn sauce (4/5) and bone marrow vinaigrette (5/5): okay so this dish was our main and it did not disappoint. You can definitely taste the beefiness from the dry aging and that alone was enough. With the peppercorn sauce it was great. BUT with the bone marrow vinaigrette, that took this steak from "really good" to life changing experience. Kouign amann ice cream sandwich (5/5): if you've never had a kouign amann, it's like if a croissant and a cake had a baby. Add in some ice cream and this dessert would've had to choke me to death on the way down to not get a 5/5. I'm alive and arguably more than ever after eating this platonic concept of dessert perfection. Get this! The restaurant was beautiful, interior looks like an NYC steakhouse while the exterior outdoor seating is very Miami. The service was some of the best I've ever had. Every server was knowledgeable, friendly, and you felt like they all really enjoy being here. Overall, if you're in Miami, you have to come here. One of the best dining experiences I've had in years!

World Cup traffic had us running 30 minutes late for our reservation, but huge props to the host for seating us on a packed night. They gave us a 90 minute limit, which worked out great for our flight timeline. We were seated outside at a tiny 2 top table (maybe it's a Miami thing). While the courtyard setup is really pretty, the tables are squished so close together. When you order as much food as we do, it's a tight squeeze and feels a bit uncomfortable (and risky for dropping dishes!). Plus, Florida heat + the abundance of flies they had outdoors is a thing. Our waitress Vanessa made sure we got all of our dishes quickly so we could make our flight. Food we ordered that are a must: Parker House Rolls (that honey butter dip is addicting), Caesar Salad, Wagyu Beef Carpaccio, and the Blue Crab Agnolotti (my absolute favorite dish of the night). Paired it with the Circus Permit cocktail which was super fun. Food that I would skip: Sent back the duck terrine. The duck steak fell flat despite all the hype, and the yellowedge grouper was covered in way too many leeks for my taste. All in all, a solid 7/10 vibe with a friendly bar up front. I'd drop in for drinks and a few specific plates, but it's not an absolute must repeat for me next time I'm in Miami.

The restaurant is a classic touristy hole in the wall. You stand outside until ready to order, be prepared to wait 30+ mins. I ordered 2 sandwiches, cuban fries, and chicharrones to split with a friend. The cubano (5/5) and pan con bistec (5/5) were absolutely excellent. Both had a perfect ratio of meat and sauce. But what really set it apart was the crispy crusted bread. Spectacular! The chicharrones (4/5) were a steal - MASSIVE portion for like $5. Insane deal, and delicious. The cuban nachos (4.5/5) had their amazing sauce and garlic confit lechon on it. Delicious and would order both again. Overall, this is a tourist spot but one I don't think can be missed.

Nuvela Social Club: A Culinary Oasis After Days at Sea After four days aboard a cruise ship, our group was craving good food and a relaxing atmosphere. Nuvela Social Club delivered beyond our expectations. Let me break it down for you: Freshness First: The food here is made to order, and that's always a plus. I opted for the American breakfast, while my husband went for the Spanish breakfast. But let's talk about the avocado toast--oh, baby! I wasn't prepared for this level of deliciousness in a humble slice of bread. Picture this: sesame seeds, mint, feta cheese, and chili oil dancing on whole-grain toast. It was a flavor symphony that left us speechless. Mimosas, Naturally: Of course, we sipped on mimosas--it's practically a tradition! The bubbly elixir paired perfectly with our delightful meal. I recommend their classic version with freshly squeezed orange juice. Chill Vibes: The spot itself exudes a super chill vibe. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. It's the kind of place where you can unwind, chat, and savor every bite without any rush. Verdict: Nuvela Social Club is a hidden gem in Miami. If you're seeking fresh flavors, a relaxed ambiance, and a mimosa in hand, this is your spot. We'll definitely be back on our next trip! read more

Novela Cafe is a great spot if you're looking for a comfortable co-working space with a relaxed vibe. The coffee and food is really good, there's plenty of room to spread out, and the outdoor seating is a big plus when you want some fresh air while working or catching up with someone. The only downside is that I wish they stayed open past 4pm, it's such a nice space that you end up wanting to stay longer! read more
