    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!

    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%

    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

    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.

    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.

    We went here twice while in Miami. Excellent espresso in the evening for the walk home. We also had a few snacks. The honey cake was delightful! The staff was very friendly both times. I would definitely recommend this cafe.

    Brunch at Cafe Americano was a mix of amazing highlights and a couple of more basic items, but…read moreoverall still a nice experience. The standout of the entire meal was the tres leches French toast an absolute 10/10. It was rich, perfectly sweet, and honestly one of the best brunch items I've had. The seasonal fruit platter was also a 10/10 so fresh and beautifully presented with honeydew, pineapple, blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, and a side of blueberry yogurt that tied everything together perfectly. The breakfast burrito, however, was more of a 5/10 very basic and didn't stand out compared to the other dishes we tried. Overall, the experience was still enjoyable, especially because of the incredible French toast and fresh fruit platter. I'd definitely come back for those alone, but I'd probably explore different savory options next time.

    I didn't have high expectations of this place but I walk past it often and decided to stop by. And…read moreyou know what? I didn't regret it, the service was quick, it's nice ambience. I had double smash burger, and honestly one of the best burgers I had in a while, the bun is buttery soft, it stays in place, doesn't fall apart, and just melts in your mouth.

    I knew when I saw the 4.3 Yelp rating and hundreds of great reviews, this was the place !! And it…read moresure lived up to its expectations... actually, it surpassed them! 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. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

    I had been seeing a lot of great reviews about this place, so I was excited to try it, especially…read morethe tacos. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and while they tasted ok, the portion size felt pretty small for the price. Overall, it came across as a bit overpriced for what you get. The service style is more casual and self-directed. You order and pay at the register, get a number, and then find your own seat while they bring the food out to you. Water is self-serve, and once you're done with your meal, you just head out. There's minimal interaction with staff, which might appeal to people who prefer a more low-key, independent dining experience or want a place to sit and work without being interrupted. That said, the service did not feel very friendly or welcoming. And personally, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
