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.
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!
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!
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.
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

Hard to say what is the best thing about this place. Is it the food ? Yes for sure this time I had the Gallego - cantimpalo, prosciutto, tomato, manchego, garlic confit. It was amazing with the garlic confit putting it over the top. And you get a small or large so not some overpriced over large sandwich. They also have a daily special that looked really good. Maybe it's the ambiance? For sure it's just a cool building with high ceilings and decorated their words like your tias house. It's just cool old typewriters, mud century lamps and furniture. Great spot to hang out. They have a few outdoor tables and a bar. The place is not large but it's really very cool. Maybe it the coffe? The original concept was to take a ventanita up a notch and their coffe is excellent. A beautifully presented and tasting cafe con leche or cortadito And they have parking, free parking read more
Truly one of its kind, Tinta y Cafe has some of the most delicious cuban-style sandwiches in town. Not just that, but for the price-point, variety, and quality; it doesn't compare to many in town. My go to and my suggestion if you are a first timer is their madurito. It is one of their classics and most beloved, and a personal favorite too. When I go by myself and order the mini, I tend to have left overs and I have found that when I go with my partner, the regular is more than enough for both! Each sandwich somes with some platanitos, which are a perfect combo, and I would suggest you order un jugo de parchita (or maracuya) or try their beloved coffee. As a matcha lover, I recently heard they started offering matcha as well which I am SO excited to try. P.S., keep in mind that they don't allow laptops and I feel like they might even have a wifi blocker since signal gets so bad inside, but I really appreciate how it motivates you to remain very present and connect with the staff and other customers around you. read more

Second visit to Tinta y Café, and it definitely lived up to the hype again. small coffee shop with a Bib Gourmand. The menu is simple and Cuban focused, but the sandwiches stand out. My favorite is the La Caleña -- turkey, prosciutto, manchego cheese, tomato, red onion, fresh cilantro, and house-made cilantro mayo. Tons of flavor and a good size. I could only finish half, which worked out perfectly to share. I love their fresh juices. The maracuyá (passion fruit) juice is my go-to and never disappoints. Cozy vibes. Simple décor with vintage Miami newspaper prints and old cameras. My only gripe is that they didn't have almond milk available, which felt a little surprising for a coffee shop these days. Overall, great food, fresh ingredients, generous portions, and a cozy local vibe. We will definitely be back. read more

When you go to Miami you have to try Cuban food especially when it's on the Michelin guide! This place is a cute cafe. A hole in the wall type of feel with a very tight parking lot. You can tell a lot of locals come here but it is more popular than your typical hole in the wall. The food is good! Cuban breakfast sandwiches and pastries and of course strong and good Cuban coffee. The service was great and our food came fast. Our sandwich was delicious as well as our guava pastry. If you are looking for a coffee shop that gives you the local neighborhood feel this is your spot! It felt authentic and it was delicious. Also it was very reasonably priced. read more

Never been to this restaurant before. But we were excited to try a new Cuban restaurant. The staff worked together as a team and they worked quick with no mistakes. A plus! The inside was cozy and packed. Which is always a good sign. What a treat! The ham croquetas here I have to say are the best in Florida in my opinion! They have such a unique spanish flavor that I never tasted in croquetas anywhere. That there is what makes it special. I have never tasted such delicious ham croquetas in my life. I also ordered the beef pastry. So delicious as well. I wish these were more popular in general. That was so satisfying. Now every time I eat croquetas it's going to be a disappointment. It's a shame this restaurant isn't located in East Orlando. It would make life easier . Well I can't go on just about the croquetas, everything else we tried was delicious! No complaints! The three of us enjoyed the coffee we each ordered for ourselves. I ordered el pecado, black coffee and the café con leche. And for sandwiches we ordered the Italian, la patria and the croqueta sandwich with egg and cheese. I can't wait to return to Miami to go back! I will never forget! read more
Delicious coffee here! Service and staff were great. We were attended fast and staff was attentive. I ordered the cappuccino and it was delicious coffee. Great coffee art as well. My husband had the cortadito and he loved it too. Will definitely be back. read more
Such a treat to have such a vibrant and high quality place open in Miami Shores! Since Pinecrest on 79th closed, the shores has been severely lacking in a good to go spot for cafecitos. However, if you are not on the move, the interior is just as welcoming as your Abuelita's living room with a kind staff that greets the locals like family. The sandwiches have amazing bread and fresh filling. Croquetas are fresh from the kitchen and some of the best I have had in North Miami in a while. I went for the traditional jamón this time but am excited to try pollo or pescado next time. What a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Cute little cafe with good pastries and strong coffee. I love the no phones vibe- my boyfriend and I got an assortment of pastries, the ham croquettes and the empanadas were our favorite. However we did not like the cod fish croquettes. Friendly staff and convenient to-go window if you don't want to dine in. :) read more

Cubano vibes con a relax atmosphere. This place hit the spot for my craving. Inside seating is community seating which means you may share part of the table with another group of people. Seating is limited and its first come. Or if you're on the go you can order at the walk up window. I got there for the breakfast menu which was perfect. The breakfast menu was perfect for my picky eater of a kiddo. You are able to build your own sandwich or plate. Which means you select how you want your eggs cooked, type of bread, type of cheese and sauce. I ordered scrambled eggs with bacon and manchego cheese mixed in together. As for the bread, I got media noche with calena sauce which is a cilantro sauce but it was very mild spread on like a baguette style bread. My kiddo got eggs, ham and manchego cheese on a croissant. Our were served on a plate and you can either build your own sandwich or just eat it right off the plate. As for my husband he got El Patria sandwich which is ham, pork, mortadella with Swiss cheese and mustard on Cuban bread. His was served with plantain chips. Everything was delicious and no crumbs were left behind. Staff was quick and super friendly. Don't forget on your way out grab a few pastries they are all delicious. read more

Tinta y Café is such a cute, quaint little spot in the Gables, it honestly feels like you're hanging out in your own living room. The staff is super friendly, the food is always fresh, and I love the shared-space vibe with its focus on community and real conversations. Your phone reception is basically nonexistent while you're in there, and honestly... I appreciate that It's a must whenever I'm in the area. The tostada is perfect every time, and the café con leche never disappoints. Highly recommend! read more
I absolutely love this place! I love ordering through their little window it makes placing your order so convenient, especially when im grabbing a coffee for my walks! Their iced cafe con leche is arguably one of the best in Miami and it is my go to every time and you might as well order the tequeños while youre there! They are superrr busy so be prepared to wait if you go during peak hours or weekends! The staff is super lovely and welcoming! read more

It's had been a while some we last came and again it did not disappoint! No reservations but honestly wait time wasn't too bad, about 20 mins avg. The food is still as good as I remembered. Started with a Ham and Bacalao croquetas, they are a must! As mains, we had the Caleña: turkey, prosciutto, manchego cheese, tomato and red onion. El Callejero: chicken, prosciutto, cantimpalo, manchego, caramelized onions. Both come with a delicious house-made cilantro mayo (not too mayo, more cilantro/garlic flavored) along with an oat milk latte and a chai latte, perfect combo! Cozy and very relaxed ambiance. Enjoy the background music while you sip your coffee and bites. Oh and they also carry a small selection of beer and wine and WINE NOT, right? read more
Ohhhh myyyyy goodness. This place is it! The sandwiches, ambiance, excellent service and laid back vibes, were great! Xavier, is one of the managers who took care of our party. He made excellent recommendations and I went with them all. The Cobb salad with the dressing on the side, the bacalao croquette, the fresh passion fruit juice and the madurito sandwich (this was my favorite). It was all sooooo good. Get ready to be impressed. The sandwich was served with plantain chips on the side. This spot is one that can easily be checked out time and time again. It was sooooooo good. Can't wait to go back! In the meantime, enjoy! read more
My husband's El Croqueton was excellent! I ordered a regular breakfast with eggs and bacon. Their coffee was also great! Service was okay (they forgot an item on my order). Ambiance was unique- it felt like you were in someone's living room. 4.4 stars. read more

If I'm in the area, I'm going to swing by and get a sandwich. EVERYTHING is fantastic here. Their coffee, their desserts, sandwiches, you can't go wrong! Try to sit at the bar so you can see the chefs do their magic. I won't leave without getting a bite of their flan, and it's my mission to try every sandwich on the menu. Small location so if you can't sit inside they have some tables outside. Service was wonderful! read more

Ever since I found this little gem in Miami Shores, I can tell you it's the best café con leche in town. Definitely worth the drive and the wait to get the house famous croquetas. I also love the madurito sandwich. read more
The art of conversation is truly honored at Tinta y Cafe, making it so special. They have cultivated such a warm and unique atmosphere with a no WiFi and no laptop policy, conversation is encouraged. Signs around their small space will remind you. I had the pleasure of unexpectedly meeting the manager Xavier aka Guayabo (please ask him to tell you the story of his nickname). A manager who leads by example. On a Tuesday afternoon, Guayabo truly demonstrated Michelin level expertise and service honoring their Bib Gourmand recognition. A quick lunch turned into an afternoon. Guayabo took the time to chat with my sister and I entirely changing our lunch from a transactional meal to a meaningful experience. Their Cuban menu will not disappoint along with a lovely cafe con leche paired with the art of conversation. read more

Tinta is the place to come to when you want a pure miami/cuban breakfast. This place has such a homey feel to it and they have a no phone rule. They heavily encourage you to socialize and not be on the phone. Put the phones down, connect and be present in the moment. You know I had to sneak in some pictures of the food to review though! So I always get a cortadito con leche evaporada because thats how I love my coffee, I loved it so good I ordered a cafe con leche after. My boyfriend got el pecado which is cuban coffee, and both regular milk and leche condensada. We got some croquetas to split, THE BEST spinach croquetas you can ever have in your life, and some JUMBO delicious flavorful croquetas de jamon. We came here twice back to back so I posted all the sandwiches from both nights. The first one I forgot the name to, its like a turkey BLT of some sort, pretty good but I got the cuban sandwich which is of course a classic. The pork was SO good I insisted I got the pan con lechon the next time I went, which i also forgot the name of this one. Overall, 10/10 love this place, no matter the price i will always come here for some delicious breakfast with a relaxing home vibe to it!! read more

What more can I say about Tinta? It is amazing and worth all the hype. I had the cuban coffee. Easily the best coffee i have ever had ever. Also i came here by accident. So i went in blind and then was surpised after the fact! The hype is real. I sat at the bar. There is also parking in the front! read more
Have been wanting to try this spot out for a while and was really excited to finally stop by. My friend and I were offered a seat at the community table (which is a cool concept) as long as you're open for it. But after we sat down our server let us know two seats at the counter became available so we switched it up and it was cool because you get to see them prep the sandwiches. The vibe by the counter was fun, the music was on point and all the cooks were dancing and having a good time. For an app we started with the ham and bacalao croquetas. They were super delicious and the ham one was huge! Like the mother of all croquetas. My friend got an iced cafe con leche and it was really pretty and she said tasted great. For sandwiches we went with the Tinta y Cafe and Madurito and split them. They were both good but the Tinta y Cafe was super depcious. Each sandwich came with mariquitas which is nice. I finished a little before my friend and we were asked multiple times if we were finished. My friend made a comment that she felt like we were being rushed out (at this point a new server had taken over our table) and I brushed her off because we had only been there in the restaurant about 40 min tops at that point. The newer server dropped off the card reader. But we told her we wanted to order a colada (which I had told our original server I was gonna want a coffee after the sandwiches) and a few croquetas to go. A little while later my coffee came and our new server asked us to finish the coffee standing because other people came in. Idk but that left a really bad taste in my mouth. I wanted to sit and enjoy my coffee and we were still waiting on the to go order. I felt a little awkward just standing in the doorway with my coffee cup and to go sandwich bag under my arm. It sucked because we had just been talking about how much of a fun time we were having and how we wanted to come back. So a little disappointed in that regard. All in all the food is great and so is the ambiance. Service was great up until we were pretty much rushed out of our seats. So if you're in the area I would def stop by they also have a little ventanita if you want to grab something quick. read more

Such a great spot, kinda small inside but worth it for the cozy vibes. I tried all their croquetas , the ham , spinach , and bacalao all were fantastic. I had El Madurito which was my favorite, I tried El guajiro with pork which is a 10/10, and El croqueton which was great but my least favorite out of the 3. I also tried the iced cafe con leche which was not as sweet as I wanted it to be. Service was great. read more

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.
