    Overpriced small cafe inside a busy mall. Waffles and pancakes were decent. Paying for parking is always a pain as well.

    We had several hours wait post cruise/pre flight and found this caffe inside a shopping center. We were very pleasantly impressed with the quality of pastries - we went with a nutella crepe and is was delightful!!!

    Waffle with berries.

    For being located in the food area of The Grand (hotel/Condominium) in downtown Miami, it was surprisingly good. Their prices only were $4.00 lower online than in the restaurant, but being in what I consider a tourist location didn't really expect different. Three silver dolls size pancakes, were, light and fluffy but strawberry compote was lacking something. The waffle was good, but a little undercooked. Just remember where it is located so you are not surprised by the $16.00 for pancakes and waffles that do not really come with anything.

    Very expensive. No sides with meals. Staff wasn't very friendly. Food was delicious but for two people it was almost $60

    (From March, 2023) Located in the small shopping area near the Marriott, I found this as I was looking for some coffee/breakfast while walking around. It's your typical coffee/pastry place that's not a Starbucks but has the characteristics from those places with the baked goods display, sounds of steamers producing milk foam, the sizzle of the sandwich press, and chatter amongst the patrons who sit inside or outside. I went with my usual latte w/ whatever sugar-free flavor they have (vanilla in this case) and a breakfast sandwich w/ turkey. The woman at the front got me rang up and my stuff was produced timely with a smile from her. Got my items to go and headed back to my room to eat and chill. The latte was filling although I couldn't taste the vanilla flavor. The breakfast sandwich is on a croissant so it's flaky with a buttery taste. Cheese could've been more melted but the taste is there with the turkey and eggs. It's a bit pricier than your normal coffee places but that's Miami for you. The place is clean inside and outside but be cautious of the people who frequent here. There was an older guy outside who had a nasty attitude and kept harrassing people sitting outside. The main reason why I didn't stay there and got my order to go. Don't got the time or energy dealing with those kinds of lifeforms. For a place that's not Starbucks, it's a decent breakfast/coffee option near the hotel.

    Found this yummy breakfast spot in the mall in the hotel I was staying at. This location opens early and had espresso which I need to function! We ordered the egg, ham and cheese croissant as well as the egg bacon cheese sandwich. We put the order in at the counter and it was brought out to the table. I enjoyed my sandwich and my husband said the croissant was nice and flaky. We sat at one of the tables in the mall and enjoyed a solid breakfast.

    Tasty latte and breakfast sandwich. Quick & friendly service. A great quiet spot in the Doubletree Hilton hotel lobby.

    Clockwise: quiche and salad, Nutella croissant and cappuccino

    If you're not into quince then skip this review. I was staying nearby and strolled over for some breakfast. The place was a little hard to find because it's actually inside the "mall" area of another hotel. After I located it, I grab a table and ordered. Due to the quiche being premade I wasn't expecting the quiche to be so good. Fluffy top, crispy dough, excellent flavor btw I ordered the bacon. Also the croissant was super flaky and warm and perfect Nutella ratio to dough!!! It even came with a salad with a yummy vinegarette. Couldn't place the flavor but it was delicious. Topped it off with Cappuccino that I did not need sugar for and that's rare. Overall, decent service and great pricing as well

    $20us for latte & ham & cheese croissant. A good place for a quick breakfast to start the day. Conveniently located next to a variety of hotels. Friendly staff.

    This is a nice little quick grab and go shop. Food was good. When we arrived there was a long line, but it moves very fast. If you're in the area and you need something quick and good I highly recommend this place. Everyone I was with enjoyed their food.

    Friendly staff, delicious food, strong coffee! I've dined at Caffe & Bottega for breakfast or lunch and it's always a hit. Their quiche and croissant breakfast options are always a good idea. If you're a coffee lover, do not skip out on their double espresso (with a tiny splash of milk)! You'll be set for the rest of the day. The location is typically bustling with customers, and the staff is always attentive, friendly, and prompt to take your order and provide seating. There's a communal table to accommodate larger parties or shared dining, as well as separate tables for 1-3 guests. The restaurant is located inside of the Doubletree by Hilton Grand Hotel, which offers valet parking. Despite it not being outdoors, it still has a bit of a bistro vibe, and I believe you can bring your pup along.

    Best French toast in Miami! Fresh, homemade dishes. Very nice staff who will explain anything on the menu. Small but Super cute corner location inside the mall at the Doubletree Grand. It was nice not having to leave the hotel to access this great cafe.

I tried the pistachio latte, which was delicious - it wasn't too sweet, but the pistachio creme and actual nuts added some fun to the beverage. The cookie croissant, warmed up, was decadent and such a crazy sweet treat to start the meal. I opted for the Israeli breakfast - it was just hearty and everything was so fresh and flavorful. I love the halloumi cheese, tomatoes and olives in particular. My husband went for the truffle croque madame and it was massive - he had to take half of it home, which he almost never does! Service was quick, without us feeling rushed. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

First off, the service really stood out to me. Everyone was so welcoming, attentive and genuinely nice. I especially loved seeing how much the staff helped each other. You could literally see the teamwork throughout the restaurant, and I love that because it makes such a difference in the overall experience. Everything flowed, the food came out in a timely manner, and we always felt taken care of. We originally sat outside because the patio is adorable, but Miami started Miami-ing and it was just a little too hot for us lol, so we moved inside. They were super accommodating about it. Also, a little warning from your Yelp friend: downtown Miami parking is atrocious if you don't know the area. Save yourself the character development and Uber. Nowwww, the food. I ordered the passionfruit smoothie, pain au chocolat and the steak & eggs. When I tell you the steak & eggs is a REAL meal, come hungry! It's tender short ribs over roasted potatoes with two sunny-side-up eggs, cilantro dressing and a delicious sauce on the side. The short ribs were incredibly soft and tender, almost like a brisket situation, and the portion of meat was HUGE. Honestly, it could easily be shared. I ate about half before my stomach politely told me we were finished and the rest came home with me. The potatoes were delicious, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and I really appreciated all the different flavors in the dish. Everything worked so well together. Definitely not your basic little steak-and-eggs brunch situation. The pain au chocolat was approximately the size of my head... and I have a big head, so please understand the measurements here lol. It was really good! I do wish it had been served warm and had a little more chocolate inside, but I'd absolutely order it again. Next time I'd probably get it by itself with a latte or hot chocolate and have myself a cute little pastry moment. And the passionfruit smoothie? Soooo good. Refreshing, flavorful and not overly sweet, which I appreciated because we don't need all that extra sugar. We have figures to watch around here. My mom really enjoyed herself too, which made the experience even better. Between the food, generous portions, cute atmosphere and especially the service, Café Bastille definitely gave us a reason to come back. Until next brunch... mwah! S/O Jeffrey our wonderful server!

He was our server and he was a real pleasure. He recommended the Pancakes which were the best I've had and I travel often. Then we ordered the side order of short ribs.

I ordered the Truffle Bun with Avocado, and I have to say, it was really good. The Flat White was also good. My friends had the Guava & Cheese Danish and the Salmon Eggs Benedict, and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I would give 3 stars for the food and the nice outdoor seating. It had just rained, so sitting outside was actually really pleasant--not too hot or humid. The other 2 stars I'm taking off are for the service. The servers never really smiled and seemed like they didn't want to be there. We honestly felt like we were bothering them whenever we asked for something. Maybe they were just having an off day, but a little friendliness would have made a big difference. The food was good and the place itself was nice. I just wish the servers were a little more welcoming and pleasant.
