    Found this coffee shop on yelp and decided to give it a try. There were a few patrons inside and seated outside on the handful of tables. Slightly down market area with several transients in the vicinity, I would not want to visit alone. That said we received a warm greeting from a new staff member and had high hopes for our morning cup. Unfortunately the coffee, their own blend, lacked zest and flavour. The baked goods looked amazing, we didn't try them but they looked crispy. Some baked items seemed day old, not sure, but probably were. Coffee was sub par so we decided to look elsewhere and didn't end up drinking the coffee. Sorry, but I would not visit again, maybe this wasn't representative of their normal experience.

    Outside of shop on Collins Avenue, mid beach
    I C.

    A 3.5 Star coffee spot (but not worthy of the bump up to 4 stars) in "mid beach" Miami Beach right on Collins, a short walk from Faena, across the street from the Miami Beach Edition hotel and steps away from a favorite, totally hidden gem Peruvian/Ceviche joint called Ceviches by Divino (soooo good - even for the non-ceviche/fish/seafood lover - see my review). Note - we were iso a coffee drink after an afternoon on the beach but before heading out to dinner. Shepherd is a perfect coffee spot if you're looking for something other than Sbux (across the street in the Edition hotel). It's a cute, local spot and hangout. Loads of inside table seating, outside sidewalk seating too (but no scenery to speak of sitting outside so might as well enjoy hanging inside in air conditioning lol), clean and open, nicely decorated with friendly service. I took a snap of the menu board. Basic variety of coffee drinks, hot and cold. And an assorted selection of muffins and pastries. They have other food on their menu including bfast items but we weren't looking for a meal - but if we were, nothing on their menu sparked any interest imo. My companion (a hot and iced latte aficionado) said the iced vanilla latte she ordered us both was good because it wasn't too sweet. One of few coffee shops in the immediate local area so if you're looking for an indie spot, Shepherd does the job just fine. No complaints, just not anything amazing and out of this world to rave about.

    Awful juice that's half weird foam? Ripoff and tasted really off I threw it away

    Ripoff, bad service, bad juice. I got a juice and a coffee, they charged me $2 for a splash of oat milk, and the juice was only half full. I said it's only half full and they just looked at me. It was all foam and tasted really weird like she left the peels on or something shouldn't have been in there idk what but I threw it away. I order juice all the time and also juice at home, I've never been handed a cup of foam, how she did that w a straight face idk. I went here years ago and liked the place I thought the bad reviews were maybe wrong, but nope. I will never go back. Awful.

    super cute spot near ocean drive. i could smell the coffee from outside, i had to stop by! amazing experience amazing coffee amazing service!

    In A Nutshell: -The Shepard Artisan Coffee shop is a decent coffee shop. -Instead of walking to the Starbucks nearby, I rather support local & try their coffee. -Their drip coffee w/ added expresso shot hit the spot to start the day in South Beach perfectly. -You can sit inside w/ plenty of space & they also have some baked goods to snack on. Overall, it's a nice coffee shop to people walk while you start your day in Miami Beach!

    Great ambiance and good GF options. I ordered the American breakfast and had their latte. My husband ordered the Shepard breakfast with a latte as well. My kids loved the little library nook they have. It was a busy morning so our food took about 30 min and it wasn't as hot as I wanted. Bacon was not as crispy as I would've liked it. But overall, sold.

    Lots of nice choices here for a healthy eater. The juices I like the best here are the V4 which is a green juice with ginger and spinach and the V5 which is a red juice that has carrots and beets. My favorite of the salads is the Greek Salad. If it's not enough for you I'd recommend adding salmon to it and it makes for a nice portion. My favorite of the sandwiches here are the tuna salad or the salmon sandwich on baguette. The tuna salad is particularly good. The only sandwich I didn't care too much for is the King Shepherd. It has cream cheese, mixed greens and eggs but for some reason it just didn't work for me. The indoor seating area is fairly large and gives you room to create space if necessary. It feels bright and well lit and has a pleasant feel. Bonus - there's a big glass jug of lemon water with cups in case you're thirsty. The outdoor seating area is smaller due to the adjacent sidewalk but during the day there is typically space to sit. Employees here are nice and they get the food out in short order. Good stuff all around!

    Small iced latte and yogurt parfait grab and go

    A good cafe alternative to Starbucks in the mid beach area. I came here twice on my vacation since it was so close. There is currently seating inside and outside. The iced lattes were really good, I had them both times I came here. Very smooth flavor. The avocado toast was deff a let down. There seemed to be no seasonings whatsoever. I found some salt and pepper packets though to try to add a little something. The egg was an add on and cooked over easy as I requested. Not really up to par compared to other avocados toasts I've had. The second time I visited I wanted the açaí bowl, but they were out. Instead I got the next best thing, the grab and go yogurt parfait. This was pretty typical with strawberries, blueberries, vanilla yogurt, granola, and I think raisins. The granola was a little soggy so it had probably been made that morning and sat for a little bit.

    What a great finding. I was walking around the neighborhood as I was staying at the Palms and found this gem. Excellent coffee, and breakfast, Well the menu has tons of options. The ambiance is so cool with a small little library. The girls at the counter gave an excellent service. Hopefully I will come back soon.

    Decent coffee, horrible service. It's slow AF. Thankfully I only got a latte because while I was waiting for it, two parties sent back food because the order was wrong. Also, when I was paying I was referrred to as "sir." Mind you, I was in a crop too and booty shorts. I am not a sir.

    Ice vanilla latte

    We walk to this coffee shop instead of going to a Starbucks, we wanted to support local businesses. They have a good selection of coffee and alternative milk choices. They also have a breakfast sandwich with a croissant or bagel. We got the breakfast croissant and an iced vanilla latte. Delicious.

    Food was unbelievably good. The service was pretty terrible. All the people talking about the one…read moreserver are 100% spot on. Service is pretty dull and slow. We had the wings. I was genuinely surprised to have some of the best wings I've ever had in my life. Top 5 for sure. Drinks were 50/50 between our table. Some of us liked them a lot and others did not. I would recommend only for the surprisingly great and seemingly way above-par food, but not if you're looking for any specific "experience"

    Hello, for context, my wife and I have been coming to SoBe 3-5 times for the past 25 years…read more Although, Miami can be pricey, but usually you can justify the spend. Front Porch has always been a spot we dined at, mostly for breakfast, but sometimes lunch and dinner. At times, we would stay at the Z Hotel just for Front Porch. Unfortunately, that has changed, and I would never go back or accept a free meal or service--imagine that, never accept a free meal in Miami. The service was bad, actually the waiter was fair to ok, but the bleach blonde older server consumed the air out of the room. She was grumpy, not engaging, and when she spoke her voice was so deep and off putting that it frightened me. The culinary offerings, reminds me of a hospital cafeteria from the 80s/90s . The worst part was the theming and lack of ambiance. It felt like a seedy nightclub or raggedy adult club you have to take a shower after leaving. I had to apologize to wife for such a poor experience. Bad husband! Also, I believe the operation was being managed or run by a small family of 4/5 people with no hospitality, culinary, or service experience. Finally, for $100, I never have to go there again. Front Porch, RIP. Sorry...

    First and foremost, do not waste your time or money coming here…read more As a Miami native, I was genuinely disappointed by both the food and the level of service. Unfortunately, neither lived up to expectations. We started with the "jumbo" wings, which were anything but jumbo. We received only flats, and they were some of the smallest wings I've ever been served. After bringing this to the staff's attention, we were told the manager would take 50% off the order. However, when the bill arrived, we were informed that the manager had already left and the discount could no longer be honored. Instead, we were given only the $4 happy hour discount, despite being promised otherwise. For our entrées, we ordered the brisket sandwich and the half chicken. Neither was worth ordering. The chicken lacked the crispy texture it was advertised to have, and the brisket was bland and without flavor. The sandwich was also supposed to come with truffle fries, but instead we were served cold, plain fries. After mentioning it, the solution was to bring us a side of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese and ask us to mix it ourselves. The service was equally disappointing. We asked our server twice for drink refills, but she never brought them. We eventually had to flag down another server just to get our beverages refilled. Overall, this was a frustrating dining experience from start to finish. Between the poor-quality food, unfulfilled promises regarding the bill, and inattentive service, this restaurant fell well below the standard I would expect from a Miami establishment. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves one. I sincerely hope management addresses these issues because the current level of food quality and customer service is simply unacceptable. and quality is embarrassing for miami.

We were seated right next to the pool, but our table happened to be directly in front of the spot where everyone stopped to take photos. At first it felt a little odd, but it quickly became entertaining and added to the fun atmosphere. We stayed in the Azure suite, Our room was stunning and was ready a few hours early, which allowed us to start enjoying our stay right away with a bottle of bubbly the hotel sent up. We changed into our swimsuits and headed straight to the pool. The next morning was my favorite part of the stay, since only hotel guests have access to the pool before the restaurant opens, it was much quieter and the perfect way to enjoy such a beautiful setting. The only downside was that the hotel is extremely loud at night. We knew what to expect from reading previous reviews, so it wasn't a surprise, but it's worth mentioning. I was also a little disappointed by the restaurant service, which felt indifferent and not especially welcoming. Despite those drawbacks, the beauty, history, and overall experience made for a memorable stay!

Tequeño: Nicely executed with a cheesy center and crispy outside. Cuban Sandwich: I like how they really pay attention an evenly distributed and nicely crisped press on both sides. Many places are only partially crispy. The ratio of ham, pork, cheese, pickles and mustard was just right. The flavors worked in harmony and there wasn't one ingredient that dominated the rest.

The berries stay whole and tart instead of melting into jam. That restraint is what separates precision from indulgence. The avocado toast comes with radish shaved thin and microgreens that aren't buried, just placed. The plating is considered, not theatrical. Big difference. The benedicts work. Hollandaise holds the emulsion, the eggs are cooked to the yolk, the proteins don't bleed. The pancakes (key lime, pistachio, Belgium ganache) are where they let personality show, but the base is always solid. The plain croissant is $5 and tastes like they're not cutting corners. They close at 3:30 PM. That constraint is actually their strength. You eat when the kitchen is fresh, not fighting fatigue at lunch hour. Everything lands at the same level of finish because they're not spread thin across 12 hours. The mosaic tables make every meal feel unhurried. The outdoor section has real breeze and light. The price feels honest, $24-32 depending on what you add. This is breakfast and brunch executed like someone actually cares how it tastes and where you sit.

The espresso and coffee were both excellent too, strong and smooth without being bitter. What really stood out though was the service. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, upbeat, and attentive without hovering. You can tell they care about their guests' experience. Simple, satisfying breakfast, great vibe, and top-tier service. Sunnyside Café easily earns a spot on my Miami Beach favorites list. Highly recommend checking it out whether you're local or just visiting!
