We ordered a large black coffee and a large breakfast pizza. The breakfast pizza comes with eggs your way (poached, scrambled, over easy, medium or hard), choice of cheese (cheddar, swiss, smoked provolone or mozzarella) and a meat or a veg. We opted for over medium, smoked provolone and mushrooms. The pizza took a while to be ready and it was worth the wait! Deliciously crispy and smoky, enhanced by their real wood fired oven! It was a true delight! The coffee was fantastic as well. We had it black, the true test of coffee greatness, and Alaska's house roast passed the test with flying colors! Add in a pleasant dining room and friendly service, and this is a true 5-star experience!

While the service was super friendly and the coffeehouse/pizza shop vibe was pleasant ( loved the jazz music), the dish itself was a 4 out of 5. The Hollandaise was watery and lacking in the flavor department. The ham was just OK. For a premium price, a bit disappointing That all being said, it just might not be their best dish. The avocado toast looked amazing. I'll try this place again, if only to explore the amazing looking items in the bakery case.

Pinch Kitchen & Bar is one of those spots that deserves a review, It's a true neighborhood staple…read morein El Portal and honestly, Miami doesn't have enough places like this anymore. You walk in and immediately feel that local, unpretentious energy that's been missing from a lot of the scene. Do I love that it's on Biscayne? Not really. But the food more than makes up for it. For a bar-style environment, the food is consistently very good. Not just "good for a bar" ... like its actually good. The burger is a must (im pescatarian but my friend said it was delicious!) and their Eggs Benedict at brunch is easily one of my favorites in the area. Pair it with a Bloody Mary and you're set. their happy hour pricing is refreshingly reasonable, which is rare around here. I was talking to one of the bartenders and found out even their bread is made in-house. That kind of consistency and care, especially at these price points, is not easy to maintain and you can feel it in the food. It seems that their leadership (owner or manager, not totally sure) has always been present when I've gone and brings a great energy to the space. It trickles down to the staff and the overall vibe. You feel welcomed!!! I this is the kind of place that deserves real support. It's local, it's consistent, it's affordable, and it actually feels like a community spot -- something Miami desperately needs more of.

While driving along Biscayne Boulevard, I searched Apple Maps for nearby brunch options, and Pinch Kitchen appeared just two blocks ahead of us. We were greeted with a big smile and warm welcome by Jonathan who also happened to be our server. The restaurant is small and quaint but the staff is very friendly and attentive. We started with the Focaccia Bread which was really delicious and I was told that it was made in-house so a big thumbs up to freshly baked bread of any kind! The drinks were really good too, I enjoyed an Espresso Martini which was yummy. For my meal I tried the Pasta Pomodoro, which was perfectly al dente and again, SUPER Delicious. My husband had the Pinch Burger and requested it Medium Rare. It was cooked to perfection. Sadly, we were much too full to try any desserts. Next time I'll start with dessert and work my meal backwards! LOL

The outdoor seating area created the perfect environment for meaningful conversations, reflection, and self-care. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, making sure our guests felt comfortable throughout the event. A special thank you to our wonderful waitress, Gigi, whose exceptional service, warm personality, and attentiveness made our experience even more enjoyable. Toward the end of our gathering, an older lady, who I believe may have been the owner, came over to greet us. Her kindness and warm welcome added such a personal touch and made us feel truly valued. Our guests loved the relaxing ambiance, delicious food and drinks, and the overall sense of calm that Coffee Break House provides. It was the ideal space to host a wellness gathering focused on mental health, mindfulness, and personal growth. The peaceful atmosphere encouraged connection, meaningful dialogue, and genuine moments of reflection. I highly recommend Coffee Break House to anyone looking for a unique and inviting place to gather with friends, host an event, or simply enjoy a peaceful moment. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. Thank you, Coffee Break House, for helping make our first "Pour Into Yourself" event such a memorable, meaningful, and successful experience.

The service was just as memorable. Everyone welcomed us in so warmly, it honestly felt like we were regulars. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, and the white wine recommendation paired perfectly with our meal. The ambiance was lively and energetic, but we never felt rushed, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time together. Such a thoughtful touch to leave with freshly baked bread to enjoy at home. Definitely a spot worth coming back to!

The Food While exploring food in Miami, we discovered an…read moreaesthetic cafe called Madame Olivia. We decided to make a stop here for dinner. I ordered The Traditional Shakshuka while my wife ordered their Labneh Chimichurri Roasted Salmon. The Shakshuka is served with their house-made Challah bread and Green Tahini sauce. I quite enjoyed the tahini sauce, and, along with the Shakshuka, it was a good dip for the bread. My wife's roasted salmon was not bad either. It came with lentil rice, labneh yogurt, veggies, and the roasted salmon. I actually visited them a second time to try out their pastry items. It was mediocre in the form they gave me. Apparently, there is an option to "warm", but they neglected to mention that. I also got their Basque Cheesecake, and that actually tasted pretty good. The Miscellaneous The Madame Olivia cafe is in a small plaza, among other shops. The interior has quite the aesthetic, which is how we found them. It is quite spacious and can accommodate small and large parties. They have a good selection of dishes on their normal menu. But they also have pastries along with small items. This is a neat little cafe to visit and hang out with friends, with some unique selections.

From the drinks to the food I have yet to be disappointed…read more The service is always wholesome and comforting and so is the space. It's clean and eclectic design is so fun. The price point is pretty high for a cafe, for example their tuna melt is $20+ alone. No sides... However it's absolutely DELECTABLE, and I've found myself purchasing it multiple times. Not a place to visit regularly personally, but definitely worth the money when you decide to take the trip.

I've always enjoyed the coffee at this place, which is why today's experience was so disappointing…read more I ordered the same coffee I always get. When I ordered a second one, it was served in a different cup and immediately looked different. I politely mentioned that it didn't seem like the drink I had ordered, but the employee insisted that it was and responded in a defensive manner. I pointed out that it was missing the chocolate powder they normally put on top. Instead of simply correcting the mistake, the employee questioned me and seemed annoyed by the request. When he finally remade it, he threw an excessive amount of powder on the drink and brought it to my table with a very poor attitude. I hope they change to a better costumer service

Nothing pretentious, nothing overworked. Just solid, crave worthy dishes that remind you why simple food done well is hard to beat. The menu is dependable in the best way, with flavors that feel intentional and satisfying. Portions are generous without being over the top, and everything comes out the way you hoped it would. Service is warm, efficient, and welcoming, which somehow makes the food taste even better. It feels like a neighborhood spot even though people from all over Miami seek it out. Blue Collar is the kind of restaurant you recommend without hesitation and keep in your regular rotation. Comforting, consistent, and always a good idea.

Super disappointed with this place…read more Pros: The potatoes and eggs were good & the hot sauce has great flavor! Cons: First thing I did was use the restroom which had a horrible smell and the toilet needed cleaning. The service was good at first then fell off after we ordered our food- which was strange because it was not busy at all. We ordered the screwdriver & peach Bellini to drink. Steak & eggs and the Untoasted breakfast + side of ham. The screwdriver had an odd taste & the ham was extremely soft/squishy/seemed uncooked internally. The steak was not cooked well- but acceptable enough to eat. Our server never checked on us after we got our food which sucks because we needed a few things. A different server ended up walking by much later and asked if we needed help which is when I told her I'd like to send back the ham and screwdriver- both of which I barely took a bite/sip out of. I just told her I didn't like them and she got a bit of an attitude and wanted specifics as to why I didn't like it. I just reiterated i didn't like it and won't be consuming either so please take it back. We finished our food and no one ever came to our table again- while the workers were walking around helping the 5 other tables or talking amongst themselves. After sitting for 15+ minutes with our finished food, I just went to the front and waited for someone to check us out. I don't recommend this place and will not be back.
