    Pastrami sandwich
    Janelle O.

    This was a great breakfast option within walking distance of my hotel. Great quality ingredients. The first visit was so good that I made a second! There are a lot of other items I wish I could have tried, both on the menu and in the bakery display case, but I figured I shouldn't eat all of my meals here during my short stay. Lol. Over the course of my visits we tried: -Breakfast croissant. The best item. Super delicious. Buttery, flaky goodness with bacon, egg, avocado. You can't go wrong. -Shakshuka. I like it even though it's meatless, which means it's really good. Very tasty, tomatoe-y, saucy. -Pastrami sandwich. The most filling item. Solid flavor. Great meat to bread ratio. -Crunchy oatmeal. It's good. It comes with everything I think oatmeal should come with: greek yogurt, granola, and fruit. Nice amount of sweetness to it. -Acai bowl. Pretty standard and pretty good. Staff were welcoming and courteous.

    The vanilla cafe is a great place to stop in for a quick bite or catch up with friends. A very relaxed atmosphere where dogs are welcome and the staff is friendly. Plenty of seating and the service for food preparation is quick so you're not waiting very long. I had the Mediterranean Sun Shakshuka which did not disappoint. It was perfectly flavored and very filling! The protein pancakes were also delicious and was accompanied by some delicious jam. The matcha was freshly made in house and the smoothly was divine! Definitely returning every time I visit Miami!

    French toast and vanilla latte
    Asia R.

    So not pictured is my son's eggs and bacon with a small side micro green salad. Everything was amazing. The French toast was so light and airy, not too sweet. My favorite was the strawberry puree and my son's eggs. OMG I've never had eggs that taste that good. Lightly seasoned and so fluffy! The micro green salad had some type of green vinaigrette, also amazing. The coffee was pretty good, no burnt taste from the espresso. I know I know my review is a little all over the place but that's just how good it is! The service was amazing and everyone made us feel welcome even with a packed cafe.

    Pastries great. Passion fruit croissant is 5 Star alone. Most of the desserts are fantastic. The matcha was okay. Small spot, not much to say about the service. Great for a quick bite.

    Honey and cream cake
    Ekaterina L.

    What an awesome cake! Gentle, creamy and so fresh. I highly recommend Vanilla Cafe for breakfast, lunch and private catering. It was a long time since I've had such a cake 100%

    The pastries are heavenly. Everything is so beautifully prepared you almost don't want to eat it however, when you do, you will not be surprised to know the taste also reflects the experience, everything is excellent. The only problem is, you won't know what to order because there's so many great choices. You must come here more than once. There's something here for everyone; if you are watching what you eat their homemade granola is what I recommend as well as their Ayurvedic teas . The almond croissant is a winner along with salted salmon. Friendly and quick service. This location offers a french bistro vibe now playing Christmas music. Just know that you will not get a free refill on regular coffee so pace yourself drinking coffee if you wanna have it with your pastry.

    Shakshuka & latte
    Pam A.

    Adorable little breakfast cafe. VERY gluten friendly. Shakshuka is amazing and the latte was smooth and creamy. Highly recommend, and I would definitely stop here again next time I'm in the area.

    Salmon omelette

    A little pricy, but not really....it is Downtown Miami. I loved the salmon omelette, sometimes I don't care for smoked salmon, but the flavors weee paired perfectly the pesto was very fresh. Cottage pancakes were small but very filling, we both loved these

    Strawberry matcha
    Jessie R.

    This place is so cute! The food was delicious and the matcha was amazing Nice place to do work or read a book there! Great staff and extra points to the server that complimented my nails

    Ice matcha latte
    Fii M.

    I found this spot on instagram and knew I had to give it a shot! This cafe is located downtown and offers Ukrainian pastries as well as breakfast items. They have plenty of seating inside and even offer a couple outdoor seating options. The cafe is super cute and has lots of insta-worthy spots of pics! I came in and ordered a salmon breakfast sandwich on a croissant, an eclair and an iced matcha latte. The staff was pretty friendly and the person helping me while I ordered suggested the eclair when I couldn't make up my mind. Everything looks delicious and the eclair did not disappoint! They use really vanilla beans in the pastries which is always a plus. The staff did notify me that the croissants were still baking and it would be awhile to the offered to make the sandwich on their other bread which we accepted, the substitution did not disappoint! Portions are large so I was glad we shared! I also loved the matcha latte and the glassware it came in. Highly recommend!

    New casual bakery downtown! This casual spot has more seating than you'd expect and super fair prices. I stopped in for some pastries to go and was delighted to try their staple- the napoleon. I was in and out quickly, and was happy with the price I paid. Definitely want to try their Honduran coffee soon.

    Cappuccino
    Joshua T.

    The place was very cute and the server was friendly. Server helped give some recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. The food and drinks were excellent. I got a strawberry matcha, cappuccino, breakfast croissant, and burrata croissant. Each item was fantastic. Cappuccino had good foam and texture. Matcha was flavorful and not overly sweet, the croissants had great crunch and flavor along with the items in the breakfast croissant were cooked perfect. Definitely recommend this place!

    Mango Passion Fruit Pavlova
    Charles L.

    This new spot is very cute. I enjoyed my mango passion fruit pavlova and the service was good too. The person behind the counter was very knowledgeable. I'd go back and take a friend next time.

The tiramisu matcha was terrible. It tastes NOTHING like tiramisu. All they needed to do was make the mascarpone sweeter and thicker, and use sweetened condensed milk mix for the milk then soak the lady finger in espresso or sprinkle espresso on top. I was so disappointed it tasted like snot in a glass with matcha on top to me. The manager was very nice, she asked me if I liked it and I was honest with her she replaced my drink with a strawberry matcha.

The ambiance was decent, the table will ruin your clothes. The cocking glue melted off onto my partners pants. Sit inside if you can!

I happened to be in the area so I checked out this place which was pretty cool. They had bar seating, couch seating with tables as well as outdoor seating. A lot of people were there working on their computers while having drinks and pastries. I had a salted caramel latte which I ordered at the computer and was served quickly. I requested it with oat milk, but it was made with whole milk and the barista had no issue remaking it for me, which was nice. The flavor was amazing with just the right amount of salt and caramel; it was not too sweet and it was very smooth. The only issue I had was the parking, there was absolutely no place to park so I had to double park in an alley and run in to get my drink. However, I imagine if you live or work in the area it would be a cute place to pop in and get a beverage. They also had empanadas and some various pound cake slices which people were partaking in so I imagine they were decent.

I eventually had to ask a different server for water, and I was given hot water instead of cold. To make matters worse, the food itself was bland and lacked flavor. Between the poor service and the disappointing meal, this was not a pleasant dining experience. I hope management addresses these issues, as good customer service and quality food should be a priority.

The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it.

Online it shows the quesadilla is $13, when I ordered it was $14 + 2.50 for onions and tomatoes (which ended up coming on the side). Also, when I asked to order that, the waitress was a bit rude. So I ended up paying $17.82 for a terrible quesadilla and experience. I really liked the horchata matcha though (hence the 2 stars).
