    A charming little gem in Coral Gables that absolutely deserves a visit, with a few caveats. The interior is cozy and full of character, decorated in a nostalgic '80s style with a lovely bar area that makes you want to stay a while. It's small, though, so be prepared to put your name on a waitlist if you're hoping to sit inside. There's also an outdoor seating option where you can order through their cute little walk-up window "la ventanita," as they call it. On a cloudy day like ours, the weather wasn't an issue, but unfortunately the outdoor area shows some wear: the plants, and the tables all need some attention. Worth noting, one section sits close to the restaurant's large trash bins, and the smell does reach the tables, which is a shame. Now, the good stuff , and there's plenty of it. The staff is wonderful: young, enthusiastic, genuinely warm and professional. The passion they have for what they do comes through immediately. The passion fruit juice (jugo de parchita) was absolutely delicious naturally unsweetened, which for me is exactly right. And the sandwich? That's what brought me here in the first place, and it did not disappoint. It was outstanding, the kind of thing you find yourself thinking about long after you've left. 100% recommended. Here's hoping they give that outdoor space some love soon!

    I really enjoyed my experience at the café. I ordered from the ventanita the soup of the day and it was being soup with vegetables. The soup was creamy and had Really excellent flavor and seasoning. I also got pastelitos. I ordered the cheese, pastelito, feta and spinach, pastelito, and a meat pastelito. All the food was very fresh and I even had a pastelito on my drive back home. The soup was Hardy and filled me up and was a great lunch option. I didn't stay to eat my food at their location. But this restaurant is trendy with Old school. Miami vibes. They have the window. You can order from in the morning to grab a quick coffee or you can go inside where it's decorated, very cozy, family style with couches and tables. Or you could even eat outside where they have a few tables as well. The staff is always super friendly and seem happy to work there.

    This place is a gem! Parking is hell so if you can get there any other way, do but it was worth the aggravation of finding a spot. The Cafe con leche could use some work as its just machine made and good but not at the level of the food. The El pecado, was very sweet maybe too sweet after a bit. All that a side the food here is next level! The patria sandwich is hands down the best cuban sandwich I ever had, and I've had many. The ham croquetas are a beautiful thing, they seem tiny in size but pack a ton of flavor! The place is small and cute and has outside windows service, which is great if you are on the go. The staff was nice and speedy buzzing around. This place will be a Brunch stop on all our miami trips for sure! BUEN PROBECHO!

    Put me in the "sees Chef once, must try a Cubano" camp. We had two days to spend in Miami and we wanted to make sure we would get at least one breakfast here. Appears like a large building from the outside but is actually a small quaint space that is clean and well kept. Service was awesome and we felt welcome even though it was quite clear we were tourists traveling in. I imagine this place runs in to out of towners a lot but they treated us kindly and, if we lived here, we would definitely put this spot on rotation. Our sandwiches were amazing. My partner got the one with plantains in it and that one definitely stole the show. I liked my tinta y cafe sandwich, but her's was a star. The cafecito and lattes were on point too and a truly great breakfast meal. Pair that with the rain pouring down outside it made for a truly memorable experience and quick bite.

    Tinta y Cafe serves up great coffee and amazing food in this charming little corner coffee house in the Gables. I've been here multiple times and not a single time has it ever let me down! The service here is nice and the all the staff are very friendly and chill. The spinach croquetas are an absolute must when you come here! I have never tried one prior to coming here and my girlfriend convinced me to try one and I can never look back! The sandwiches are great here, my favorite is the Patria, definitely one of the best Cuban sandwiches I've had in Miami. The coffee here is also really great I recommend El Pecado!

    We dined in on a weekday. We were seated at the bar as there weren't any tables available (there are only 3 inside). To say this was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had would be an understatement. The bread was pillowy soft, the eggs were cooked to perfection , the cheese was beautifully melty. Also they were generously sized to boot. We also got a cookie to go which we forgot to photograph but was also delicious. Our water glasses were never empty and the fresh squeezed orange juice was an added bonus. We would definitely return.

    Ham croquette
    Ana W.

    If you're into ham croquettes that actually mean business, this spot delivers. These croquetas were big, creamy, and packed with ham. Fresh, not overly salty, and clearly made with quality ingredients. I just wished they had a little extra seasoning to make the flavors pop even more. I also tried one of their sandwiches. The filling was tasty and felt high‑quality, but the bread was a bit firmer than I expected and not as sweet as the classic medianoche style. Still good -- just different. Now, let's talk timing: my food took about 25-30 minutes to come out, so this isn't a grab‑and‑go kind of place. But the pineapple juice made up for it -- super fresh, naturally sweet but not overwhelming. Overall, you can tell they use really good ingredients, and that alone makes me want to come back and try more of their sandwiches. Solid spot!

    Glen B.

    There are a lot of places in Miami that serve a good breakfast, but generally, it comes with a price tag and may not warrant going back but this place serves up a great meal at a great cost and we're definitely coming back. Who would've thought to put mango jam on an egg sandwich it's amazing.

    I've come here a few times because it used to be close to where you used to live and it was absolutely amazing. Their café con laches are so good. I recently went there and got a custom-made breakfast sandwich, which was absolutely amazing. I totally see the hype with this place now the seating inside is relatively small however they made it work especially like an a downtime. The service is really good too they were able to track my receipt and get me a new receipt when I asked. I love this place and I'll definitely be back. I have also gotten their croquettes as well as their guava pastries before and nothing here will disappoint.

    LOVE!! This restaurant really lives up to the hype. You can tell why they have so many Michelin recognitions. First of all, it looks very unassuming from the outside, almost like a house or residence. As you walk in, it's a very retro and casual feel, buzzing with people, and it has a really great ambience. There are small tables and communal tables and they encourage you to be present rather than being stuck on your computer doing work. It felt like a very local place and everyone was having conversations and enjoying the food, both at the counter and at the tables. They have lots of books on the bookshelves for both children and adults to enjoy as well as some cool pieces like typewriters and retro lamps. The service was great, the food came out fast, and we absolutely loved it. First of all the cafe con leche was absolutely delicious, we got it with less sugar, and it was to die for. Note- they do have a coffee window that you can walk up to if you don't want to sit for food. We also got the sandwiches-- I got the vegetarian sandwich, which was absolutely delicious, and I love how they sliced the sandwich which was made on a tiny baguette and pressed. It tasted fresh, with lots of veggies, goat, cheese, and delicious garlic, aïoli. And it comes with some fresh plantain chips, which are also delicious. We also got a small cookie to eat with the coffee, which was nice. Overall, the meal was a delicious and it was a super cozy and enjoyable experience. I would definitely go back, this is one of the better restaurants in Miami that has such a great local vibe and I'm so glad I discovered it! Keep up the incredible quality and work!

    you definitely know you're at the right window!

    The cafe con leche will change your mind about whether you've really ever had coffee before or only ever had paltry coffee-adjacent drinks; tight parking, smallish outdoor seating area and a crowded tight indoor space, absolutely no one seemed to mind the press or the wait; absolutely everyone was all smiles both before, in anticipation, and after, in satisfaction. This place was somewhat of an event, in my book.

    The large café con leche is not very large
    Enit S.

    Small space, but a good breakfast spot if you're in the area and looking for some Cuban food. Finding parking is a pain in the @$$ cause all the street parking is for residents and the lot for their establishment only fits a few cars. Definitely try some of their house made croquetas, their sandwiches are filling and delicious. The only complaint I had was that their "large" coffee looked no different than a regular coffee so we ended up having to order more cause it was gone literally after a few sips. Service here is excellent.

    Had such a wonderful time at Tinta y Café! It was my first time having authentic Cuban coffee and pastries, other than Porto's haha, and WOW... so, so good. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the coffee was incredible. Little Havana has so many great places and I'm so glad I came here . Our server was so kind and helpful and gave us great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I also really loved that they encourage guests to unplug and truly enjoy the moment, the coffee, the treats, and the company you are with. It made everything feel more special and intentional. Such a cozy spot with amazing vibes. Definitely coming back next time we're in Miami

    Maracuya juice and La Caleña - Turkey, prosciutto, manchego cheese, tomato, red onion, fresh cilantro, house-made cilantro mayo - so good!

    I'm confused their Insta looks like they serve brunch---do they not and are they not open on Sunday?

    Tinta y Cafe is closed on Sundays, always has been. They host another business, Sansara, that holds a pop up brunch there on Sundays. Different concept, different menu, equally delicious.

    Can you get a Cuban sandwich for breakfast or can you only order off the breakfast menu?

    You can always order the sandwiches

    Even the people that works Avalon said it that the cuban lady had such a bad attitude with everyone and thats not good if your gonna work in a restaurant with that bad attitufde plz go home dont work like that?

    No bad attitude observed during my visit. Cool little place.

    We came here for dinner on our first night in Miami. We made reservations but it said outdoor patio…read morewasn't available. Regardless when we arrived they sat us outside which is exactly what we were hoping for. Our server was nice at first. Explained all the popular dishes got our drinks out very quickly. I think she stole our table from someone else because shortly after someone came and we told them we put our order in and he seemed a little bothered. Unfortunately, our other server disappeared and never checked up on us. We pretty much didn't have any napkins during our entire duration of our meal. At least that part was good. We started off with a couple of mojitos and their Vaca Frita Tostones. You get these homemade maduro tostones topped off with shreeded beef in a moon sauce, pickled onion, and aji Amarillo aioli. A very delicious dish that didn't last long. Shortly after we received our main dish. I really hate when they do that. My wife ordered their Abuelas Ropa Vieja and I ordered their Masa de Puerco Chino. My wife didn't really care for her dish much. We've had plenty of Ropa Vieja before and would have preferred a congri type of rice as opppsed to just plain white rice. My dish was 10/10. Like in the name of "chino" this is an Asian inspired dish with fried rice, maduros, pineapple confit and crispy pork. A very delicious dish. It could have don't without the little salad on top, but at least it ads color to the dish. The crispy pork tasted so amazing and the fried had so much flavor. Mix in some of the maduros and you get a sweet and savory dish. Would definitely be returning to try this dish again.

I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Little Havana. We started with The Guac, Aji Tuna Poppers, and Avocado Salad. The Tuna Poppers came with 3 spicy tuna crispy rice and were delicious, however the Avocado Salad truly shined. All the ingredients tasted fresh, and the cumin lime vinaigrette was to die for. I would return for this salad alone! I ordered the Charred Salmon as my entree, and it was fantastic. The sweet potato purée paired with the slaw were complimenting sides to the dish. The hit of the table was the Mahi and Coconut Shrimp Cazuela. Lastly, the staff was phenomenal. We had a large party, but everything came out correctly and in a timely manner.

The Ocean Drive location does it right: great service, very friendly and fast, food that was amazing across the board. Loved my first taste of a traditional, genuine Cuban sandwich, ham, roast pork, Swiss, pickles, mustard, all pressed together and served with a mountain of shoestring fries, as close to the source as I could ask for stateside. Ordered a rum and coke and they hand it to you in a genuinely giant glass, perfect for getting the party started, even though it was a random Monday afternoon. Vibes and atmosphere were immaculate the whole visit. Great first stop in Miami, and a great way to kick off the week that followed.
