The bread here is deliciousss!! The sandwiches are great sizes and packed with wonderful flavors! I had La Francesita with ham and as a mini, and I loved it! It also came with some plantain chips, which was a nice touch. I would definitely go back to try other sandwich options. The place is super cute and cozy inside. They have seating and outside, and it appears a lot of people also take their orders to go. The service was good. It was quite busy on Sunday morning. So, the team was definitely running around supporting multiple orders. We also had to wait a bit to be seated because of how popular the spot is. Parking is street parking, but I was able to find one fairly easy and close to the place. read more

Tinta y Cafe - La Francesita - Mini - Cafes Near Me - Miami Shores, Florida

Love this place!!!! El ambiente, la comida, los libros para los niños, el café...todo! El breakfast sandwich con mermelada de guava y el latte con evaporada son mis favoritos. Los meseros son muy amables. 100% recomendado read more

Let me start by saying that the Tinta y cafe in Coral Gables is in my top 5 spots in Miami. This location has exceeded the Coral Gables location. The vibes, the food, the atmosphere was spot on. It is more spacious. There are plenty of spots . Plenty of bar seating to come by yourself even. A great spot for brunch, coffee, or any other Cuban breakfast craving. The service was excellent. Very tasty. I am definitely coming back here again . read more

Beautiful restaurant and extremely busy on a Sunday morning. They did not have breakfast anymore at 12pm but got the lunch sandwich with guava and cream cheese and it was absolutely delicious. The iced cafe con leche was strong and a little too bitter for my personal taste. read more

OMG. Best sandwiches ever. We rented a car for the day and eating here was worth the price of the rental alone. Got a pork, plantain, salami, and carmelized onion sandwich and an IPA. Sat outside and it was chill and nice. Server was super sweet and attentive. Wish I got a sandwich to go. read more

Glad I stumbled upon this location of tinta y cafe while i happen to be around the Miami shores area. It's located in a really cool part of the neighborhood in a building that gives you historic vibes, and giving you the excellent coffee and food you have come to know from tinta y cafe. I ordered my favorite sandwich the madurito, and it was a hit as always. Loved it, and I'll be back! read more

Tinta y Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Miami Shores, Florida

Let's just say this place gets a 10/10 for their sandwiches and cafe con leche. They have the best coffee I've had in Miami and it's the same for their other location. It can get pretty loud in here so I wouldn't say it's a relaxing environment. You come here to talk and socialize. They don't get 5 stars because they should invest as much time in training/hiring top tier staff as they do in making the food. One of the staff members, during my recent visit, was very rude and dismissive of my friend for what could have been a simple encounter and message. So what's missing is courteous staff since the staff member almost ruined our time here. read more

I've been coming to Tinta y Café regularly since 2020 and thought it was time to give an updated review. They have been very consistent with their AMAZING service and 5 star cafe con leche for FIVE YEARS STRAIGHT! I'm a Miami native of 46 years who grew on cafecito's so when you're blessed enough to find "that taste" (especially with milk alternatives) you're locked in for life!! My favorite beverage to order is the Sachi Mocha. It's delicious and I have to pace myself because if it were up to me I would order 2 at every sitting--it's that good. The owners treat me with the upmost respect and kindness and the managers Fabricio and Maria always greet me with a cheerful smile whenever I walk through the door! There is a certain art and ecosystem that I can tell comes with running this sort of amazing place that I've grown to respect and appreciate over the years. As a person who lives nearby and quietly sits in the corner, enjoying my coffee and watching people come and go, this establishment stays PACKED with people from the time it opens until it closes. The fact that the quality of the food and drinks are consistently amazing in spite of this is why I've come here every day for the last 5 years and bypass the other so-called "big box" coffee shops that are yards away! Gastón, Joyce Catalina and the rest of the staff give the most attentive, present and prompt service that is most appreciated by me. The barista's are fast, make beautiful latte art and they are always served with a smile! The feng shui of Tinta y Café is that of a large living room den-- there are no laptops allowed likely because people would likely use the space to come and work all day not allowing other patrons to come, dine and have a great experience. If that's what you want though, there are 2 coffee shops nearby who allow that. They promote the "Art of Conversation"--putting the technology down and getting to know people. There are some very amazing humans that walk thru these doors but you'll never know if you're glued to your phone! I would like to thank the Tinta staff for being so kind to the Miami Shores and nearby communities! I've watched you guys remain courteous, poised and calm amongst impatient, demanding customers. There is a reason that you guys continue to receive the coveted Michelin bib year after year and were featured on Good Morning America! You will forever remain my favorite coffee shop!!

I've been going to the Tinta Y Cafe Coral Gables location quite often but decided to check out the Miami Shores location. This location is a bit bigger and more spread out but keeps the same cool and vintage/mid century decor and vibe. Same menu, staff is not as friendly here but the food was still just as solid. I'm a big fan of their coffee, sandwiches and toast. I went with El Bori which is an egg sandwich with manchego and I swapped the meat for tomato and was delicious. The cortaditos are also so good. They have great coffee! Only complaint was at the end, as mentioned staff is a bit cold here but things got a bit colder when there was a mix up with charging. The manager - Fabricio rang me up and there was a mix up where I needed to tap my card again on the machine to cover an amount and it ended up being that I was overcharged (charged twice for an item) and there was no accountability or apology to be said. Just cold and rude as if I inconvenienced him. Will probably stick to the Gables location for now but maybe I'll venture back here in the future. read more

Local gem in the heart of Miami Shores. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Love the vibe and the open kitchen style. Breakfast was delicious. I will say the breakfast sandwich with the jam spread was a little too sweet for my tasting but thats just me. The Bori breakfast sandwich was 10-10. I can't wait to try out their lunch subs next time. read more

Tinta eCafe has a good vibe--Popular and trendy good vibes cafe/restaurant. The food? Definitely worth it. Everything I had was flavorful and well put together--makes you want to come back just for another bite. Only thing I noticed was that they seemed a bit understaffed when I went. It wasn't a huge issue, but I could tell the flow of service would've been smoother with a couple more hands on deck. That said, the staff who were there handled it well and stayed friendly. All in all, a solid place. I'd definitely come back again. read more

I try to come here at least 1 day out of the week depending on my schedule. Their coffee is excellent my favorite thing is their lunch specials with soup of the day. For breakfast there breakfast sandwiches or build your own breakfast is also great. I've also had several of their salads which have not disappointed. read more

Lovely Local Spot. They're super friendly and there's seating inside and out. They have pastelitos and a little pasty case if you're immediately needing substance. This is a versatile sandwich shop with some plated specials. Easy for take out. Really tasty sandwiches - usually get the Caleña (turkey & prosciutto) nom nom nom read more

Tinta y Café if a cool coffee breakfast spot in Miami Shore. You can't go wrong with the coffees, Pastelera, Tostadas y Más, Sandwiches or salads. You just can't go wrong with anything you try. I'm not one to work my way around the menu but I have at Tinta. The service is profesional fast and friendly. read more

Why has it taken me so long to come here?! This was my second time coming for lunch and it's soooo good. The food is delicious and always comes out quickly. The callejero sandwich is sooo filling and yummy. My only wish was that they would allow substitutions on their sandwiches. Their croquettes are HUGE little fat nuggets of savory deliciousness and the pastelitos have the perfect amount of filling and amazing flaky texture. Def an immediate lunch spot favorite! read more

How do you have a local cafe and not allow a Client to use there lap top and work!!! I was sat down then told I couldn't use my laptop... terrible customer service! I wanted to support a local coffee shop- off to Pura Vida I go where I can enjoy my breakfast and WORK! read more

Ordered a cafecito and waited 10 min. Three people huddled around the coffee machine so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured they were swamped. Was about to get up and ask about it when the cashier saw I was still sitting there without my coffee and went to investigate. They were just standing there talking. Coffee came out about 10 seconds later, somehow already cold, with a lazy "sorry ¯\(ツ)/¯". I guess joke is on me for waiting that long and not asking for a refund. Between this and the greasiest sandwich I have ever seen that I got to-go last time, I'm done with this place. read more

Well, this is more of a long-time impression... This place is undeniably the best breakfast/brunch cafe in Miami according to my boyfriend and I. Any friend we bring has us begging to take em back. Everything is amazing, I've never disliked something new we've tried. We always get the cafe con leche, which is the best one in Miami (try it and then we can argue it lol). The most hospitable, charismatic, and nicest service you could ever hope for. Did I mention they have 3 Michelin stars? There's a reason for it! Their food is always fresh, cooked to perfection, and so so yummy. They put twists on classic cuisines that only adds to their quality. Their pastries run out fast because they're so fluffy, hot, and delicious (my favorite is the beef pastelito). Their croquettes are made hot to order and wow, are they good. The ham one is no joke, it's the biggest croquette, it is not made with your traditional ham. They use a much more savory ham that will have you rethinking croquettes altogether. Any sandwich has its own special mix of flavor, it's honestly hard to pick a favorite. The salads are BIG and so fresh. I love this place, every aspect of it. The staff, the artsy aesthetic, and the out of this world food. read more

Im leaving a 1 star review to the manager on shift today! I order and come in all the time since I live in the neighborhood and have always hand pleasant experience. I really enjoy the TFC sandwich but the last few times the chicken has been tough and just got good!! I called to give them a heads up and the manager says to me "well why keep ordering it" I try to explain to him why and he kept cutting me off while I was trying to tell him. I was giving them the benefit of the doubt by ordering it again. He didn't allow me to finish. He was rude, where is the customer service?!?!! I wasn't asking for a refund, I wasn't being rude. But now I'll leave a review. I was calling to say, hey guys this is happening more frequent. Have you ever bit into chewy chicken. That's what their fried cutlet is like. Gross! read more

This little cafe is amazing!! I cannot recommend the Madurito enough. I've driven 45 minutes to this spot multiple times just to get that sandwich. My relatives came into town and I drive them down to get it immediately. This place has 3 Michelin stars for a reason! I also love the drinks that I've tried from here along with their baked goods. I tried a birthday cake cookie that was DELICIOUS- Unluckily for me, it was their last one of the day and I couldn't stock up. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Delicious "sanguiches" y cafe con leche [a oat milk option sold me] The spinach croquettes are a must have. Hubs had the Gallego Sando and I had the namesake Tinta Y Cafe which had a flavorful combo of roasted pernil, prosciutto, melted manchego, sweet roasted red peppers and caramelized onions. It definitely didn't feel like we were in Miami Shores, such a nice vibe and AWESOME FOOD. I was raving to my sister about the place and turns out one of her childhood friend's family run the place! Delicious and definitely felt like warm inviting and family. read more

I really enjoyed Tinta y café. Our waiter was very attentive, friendly, and prompt. Our breakfast sandwiches were delicious with strawberry jam on them! Yum! Their bread is fresh and soft and lightly toasted. My coffee was very good. I just had an iced coffee con leche and it was very smooth. I liked being able to watch everyone working in the open kitchen. I saw the sign for no computers or laptops which is fine. It's a small cafe and people who just sit on their laptop for an hour isn't good for business or turnover. We had a lovely breakfast. I love all their antiques and photography on the wall too. Lovely cafe. I would go again! read more

As soon as I walked in I felt the good vibes! Service was great. Inside is cute, with books and decor. Reminds me of somewhere you would meet up with your friends, drink & eat and not realize where the time went, there is no wifi and I guess that is why. I also knew i absolutely needed to try some of their pasties. I decided on a chicken empanada and beef pastelito. Soo good! Both stuffed with the right amount of meat. Chicken was seasoned and not dry. My iced cafe con leche was superb. So picky with it but it was strong and also rich and sweet. I was pleasantly surprised. Side note: as I was there a man came in I guess asking people for money/food. He sat down and took out a couple of prescription medications talking about how he had just left Jackson hospital and has a severe heart failure. The manager was so polite asking him to please put away his medications and even offered this man some pastries. The man then decided to cause a scene by standing up and screaming in the middle of the restaurant that he had a heart failure and all he was being offered was pastries. How entitled must you feel to not only turn down the pastries but cause a scene about it. I felt bad bc the manager seemed uncomfortable for the customers but he did no wrong. And with all that being said the manager still showed kindness and asked the man if he needed any assistance with picking something else off the menu read more

Service, food, and vibe cannot get better for this cute cafe. I was instantly welcomed by workers and someone came instantly to give me water (glass was never empty!) and take my order. Although the service was quick and they checked on you fairly often, I never felt rushed. My colada was amazing. The best I've had. The menu was fairly limited with mainly coffee and sandwiches but they had a breakfast menu available in the morning. I wanted eggs so opted for scrambled eggs with tomato on Cuban bread. All of the ingredients were so fresh- eggs fluffy and bread hot, crispy, yet light. It was so simple but so good! I can't recommend this place more! read more

Best coffee and cuban sandwiches in Miami! Live the team and ambience as well! Always super busy so come early!

This croqueta is life changing! Sooooo delicious !!!! It was the perfect fried on the outside and ham on the inside. We had two breakfast sandwiches and our favorite was La noche entera. We also got el bori, it was good but definitely missing some sauce it was a little too dry. Service was great we had so many servers coming around asking us if we were doing well. Loved this breakfast spot! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning right when they opened to kill some time while my car was at the mechanic. There was already a handful of people lined up right when they opened at 8am which is always a great sign for an establishment. I was promptly greeted and decided to sit at the bar top. The service was great as they were very attentive right off the bat. I decided to go with a cold brew with an extra shot of espresso plus a build your own sandwich. I will certainly be coming back to visit whenever I need to take my car to the mechanic and highly recommend this place to others. I was advised to take a seat as they get pretty busy on Saturday mornings so just a heads up to those venturing out on the weekend. read more

Questionable service. I tried ordering a sandwich from their menu and kindly asked for no turkey. Not only did the turkey stay -- the entire sandwich was denied. I ordered a coffee and walked right out. After two visits, I can confidently say: the coffee deserves awards, but the service deserves a reality check. read more

I go to school about 7 minutes away and Tinta y cafe has been one of my favorite go-to spots. The service is always amazing -- everyone there is super kind, welcoming, and attentive. The indoor ambiance is cozy and stylish with a clean, pleasing aesthetic that makes you want to sit and stay a while. The food is consistently delicious, and I've made it a habit to come here about once a month just to try different sandwiches on their menu. My absolute favorite is the Game 7 -- highly recommend! They also have daily specials, and one time I had their chicken parm, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Whether you're in for a quick bite or looking to relax with good food and vibes, Tinta y Cafe never disappoints. read more

My friends brought me here for a birthday lunch and it is such a gem on the Miami Shores side of Miami!! You get the cozy satisfactory traditional feels of eating a Cuban sandwich but with a gourmet spark and casual ambiance. All their sandwiches are incredibly hard to choose from because your mouth waters as you read down each combo. I looooved the Madurito, nothing beats sweet plantains and caramelized onions with classic pulled pork in a Cuban sammie! I appreciate the option to order just half a sandwich which is great if you're not a leftover gal. But I am and absolutely enjoyed my second half at home. Their cafe con leche is undoubtedly one of the best! I mean the way this coffee is full bodied roast and the froth of the milk... tickles my coffee lover heart! read more

I came to this place a few weeks ago, and unfortunately, had one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever encountered. When I arrived, I asked if we could sit at one of the outdoor tables -- there was a two-top and a four-top available. I asked to take the four-top since it had shade (it was just my husband, my dog, and me). The server looked me straight in the eye, completely expressionless, and said, "No." I politely asked why, and she replied that they needed to keep that table available for larger parties on weekends. Fair enough, I thought -- so I asked if we could sit at the two-top but move the umbrella for shade. Again, she said "no," with no explanation and the same cold tone. At that point, I asked if we could sit inside. She looked at my dog and asked, "Is he a service animal?" We said yes. Then she immediately followed up with, "What is he trained for?" -- again, dry and dismissive, as if she couldn't care less. The whole interaction was so unpleasant that we decided to leave and have brunch across the street instead. To make matters worse, when we finished eating across the street, we looked over and saw two people seated at that same four-top table we were denied. I went back to speak with the manager, hoping for some understanding, but instead received a generic, unhelpful response that completely dismissed the issue. I used to really love this place, I pass by often, but since that day, I've notice multiple times that two people are seated at the same four-top tables they said were only for "larger parties." It's extremely disappointing and has left a bad taste in my mouth -- not from the food, but from the lack of basic courtesy and consistency in how they treated us. read more

Visted earlier today (08/11) around 1:30 PM. We are visiting from California and, after a long morning of driving to find food, decided to try Tinta y Café based on great reviews. Unfortunately, our experience at the Miami Shores location was extremely disappointing due to one staff member's attitude. When we arrived, my nephew (17) already had takeout from another restaurant. My sister and I went inside, explained we wanted to sit outside, and were handed menus. Almost immediately, the server told my nephew he couldn't eat his food there, which we understand, as many places have that rule. However, there was no visible sign, and instead of politely explaining and giving us a moment to decide, he repeated himself less than a minute later in a rude, confrontational tone. We told him we would order something and take it to go, but he escalated the situation by bringing another staff member over (who was actually very polite) and even getting physically close to my nephew in a way that made my sister step in. This was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. We left and went to the Coral Gables location instead, what a difference! The staff there were warm, welcoming, and even offered recommendations for places to visit. The sandwich we ordered was excellent. read more
