I eat here all the time for lunch to go. I love the Monday lunch special & love their ajiaco soup on Thursdays. When I want a taste of Colombia I go here. They are always friendly and the quality and portions are consistent. read more

what a hidden spot! So so so yummy! I had a beef empanada with a small lentil soup and it was delicious. Service was great quick and nice. The place is a little hole in the wall but aren't the best places in holes. :) definitely returning! read more

I've picked up lunch here many times for my office. At first I thought that the workers here were having a bad day. They are very rude to me for no particular reason. They ignore me and treat me like a nuisance even though we always leave tip and are regular paying customers. I wouldn't recommend eating here. The food is fine. This is the first negative review I have left for anything in my life. read more

Small location in the gables with great Colombian comfort food. Stopped for breakfast and looking forward to coming back for lunch. Seems like a family business. The ladies working were great. A+ read more

Just a delightful little cafe that is spotless, with warm service, and a very good breakfast. I got the scrambled eggs with scallions and cheese, arepa, cortadito and added a side of bacon. The coffee was perfect-- and the plate of food was so pleasing that the next four people who walked in were jealous that they were only grabbing coffee and a pastry. It's not a cheap diner breakfast, but I was pleased with the value, especially the crispy and generous side of bacon. The staff were lovely. read more

I would normally rate 5 stars pero what used to be the spot for empanadas is slacking I completely understand inflation. But u have to raise the price and bring back the original meat to potato ratio. Cutting the product quality is never the answer I will try again in the future and adjust review! read more

What a cute spot!! 10000% will be coming back here...probably this weekend lol. This is a Colombian cafe that is super fresh and bright. We only got coffee, but the food looked amazing! I want to come back here for some arepas and platanos. Our coffees were excellent. We ordered a cappuccino and a cortadito. The espresso they use is fabulous, I'm low key obsessed. It's a small spot and would be easy to miss on salzedo, but it's totally worth a visit! read more

I go almost everyday! Love this place. Homemade feel and the ladies are always so nice!

Barista cafe is a small family owned Colombian restaurant right by Miracle Mile. They just refurbished the inside and did a excellent job. I love supporting small business and the staff at Barista cafe is the nicest you will come across. They are all extremely friendly every time I order here (at least once a week). We always order empanadas( with picante or green sauce) ham & cheese croissants, chicken wrap, sancocho soup, ensalada de garbanzos, so far we had yet to find a meal we didn't like. Barista is a delicious yet not crazy expensive spot to get good home cooked food as if you were in Colombia. Each day they have a daily special or you can also order something off their menu (I've attached pictures). If you're looking for good Colombian food in Coral Gables this is definitely your spot. read more

I was feeling sick one day and wanted a soup and this place looked like a good option. I got a pumpkin soup and a ham and cheese sandwich. The pumpkin soup was really fantastic. It was exactly how I like pumpkin soups, not as thick as most places nowadays. Perfect for a sore throat. I really enjoyed it. The sandwich was pressed and really good and came with chips. It had a good amount of cilantro mayo on it which I love but may be a problem for any of you cilantro/mayo haters. Together it was less than 10 bucks. It was the middle of the lunch rush but the place was pretty quiet. Definitely a good place to run to if you're in a hurry. My only gripe is that it seems like they have a lot more options available than their menu indicates. I would have liked to know what salads or specials they had without having to ask the girl at the counter (she didn't seem very chatty.) read more

This little cafe is super cute. The seating is pretty comfortable it's like a cafeteria type of place. The girls that work here are super friendly. I tried the pan de bono a cheesy type of round bread which taste great soft inside but crunchy on the out . The cafe con leche taste good I really wasn't into in but it didn't taste bad it had a good flavor . The choclo arepa I think that's what it's called , was very yummy taste like a corn pancake with white cheese. I loved it it was delicious salty and sweet . They didn't have wifi lol it's like a traditional Colombian cafeteria. They just believe in you get some good food have a nice conversation in a cute place , pay and get out.

My favorite little Colombian restaurant. Friendly service A+. Delicious pan de Bono, crispy empanadas, tequenos, hot meals, and don't forget the Colombian hot sauce! Go here and grab some goodies you won't be disappointed read more

Stumbled on Batista Cafe on our walk from the farmers market to the giralda. We were craving fruit juices but didn't want to spend $9 (like at the farmers market). We got a Jugo de Lulo with water, empanada with meat and a pan de Bono- ALL DELICIOUSLY FRESH and TASTY! We had lunch to-go today, THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! Great service, great wraps, delicious sancocho, empanadas are perfect and the juices are soooo good. Highly recommend! Oh and the grilled chicken with rice, salad and mushrooms was perfect! read more

Egg shell on the scrambled. Very grease arepas. Coffee loaded with ridiculous amounts of sugar. The table is unstable. Inside is very small and not well ventilated. A disappointment honestly. read more

What a great place for breakfast. I've been searching for something simple and done well for a while. Whether it's their scrambled eggs, croissant sandwich, or their arepas they're on point. Their café con leche is also on point. Tried lunch too recently and it was good. Craving their empanadas now! read more

Came here for breakfast from recommendation. Cute little shop; it wasn't busy so we got a seat right in the window. We had the breakfast eggs that came with onion and tomato that came with an arepa and Colombian sweet cheese, coffee and a pan de bono. I wasn't expecting much but it was very delicious. I would definitely recommend stopping by for breakfast. I've read on other reviews that the empanadas are great but we were too full to try- will have to come back :) read more

This is my place to go almost every day, either for a cafe con leche or for lunch. They have delicious homemade soups. Anything here is amazing, from the pastelitos with guava and cheese to wraps with chicken. Great service, great food, great prices. Oh, and they are delivering ! read more

What a treasure we found today in Coral Gables. Authentic Colombian cuisine. I had the soup and chicken wrap and a fried empanada. The house made aji is fantastic. Family style service, clean and friendly. I'll be back soon. read more

I woke up craving empanadas and a Colombiana one morning so I searched for the closest Colombian spot in the Gables and that's how I came across Barista Cafe. I wouldn't say that I was fully disappointed because the empanadas were de-lic-ious (the beef more than the chicken) but being a Colombian restaurant I was shocked when they didn't have their infamous Colombiana soda. Instead they had Frescolita which is Venezuelan. Now, I'm Venezuelan so I didn't mind it all that much but there's definitely a difference in taste between the 2 sodas so I was just thrown off by it as I was expecting Colombian sodas at a Colombian locale. The service was decent. The cashier had a bit of an attitude at first but then lightened up when cashing me out. Whatever, maybe it just wasn't her day, it happens. Overall, I would probably go back when I'm craving Colombian empanadas but this time not expecting to have it paired with a Colombiana :) but really :( read more

Fresh and tasty Colombian food! Amazing ajiaco and delicious tuna wrap! Baby loved the pan de Bono and empanadas. Nothing was greasy and comprable customer service to being served at a friends house. Will be back! read more

This is my favorite spot for breakfast and lunch. Good quality food, very tasty, no wait and very affordable. The people are very nice and friendly.

I don't give this restaurant 5 stars simply because as soon as you enter, the smell is stuck with you for the rest of the day! Food is great! Sometimes the arepa de chocolo is from the day before, or at least that's how it taste but I am a frequent customer and 90% of the time the lunch special is DELICIOUS! They have a variety depending on the day of the week. I wish they were open longer than 4:30pm Real Colombian Food! read more

My son and I go here all the time! In this area food is super expensive (and excellent). This place is moderately priced and the food is great. It's what it should be, a quick yummy Colombian cafeteria. The ladies that work there are super sweet to my son and me too. He went one morning during the World Cup and he was taking forever to come home. When came home--with perfect cafe con leche-- he told me the place was so fun, the whole restaurant, including the employees were singing and dancing at 8am "ole ole". People might find this annoying ("just get my order, so I can go") but they are wrong and should enjoy people having fun and singing in their day. Anyway, every thing I have had from here has been easy, quick, good, affordable and served with a smile. Btw, Parking is non existent, it's definitely for people who live and work around here. read more

Craving Columbian empanadas and I came across this place! Decided to get the coworkers in on the order so it was going to be a real test being the first time ordering. Called in my order for 36 empanadas and one pan de bono and it couldn't have gone smoother. Customer service is great! Free delivery too! I was warned about the delivery time being about an hour due to the quantity and that was fine, actually appreciate the notice. Took 1 hr 20 mins total. Now to the good part, the empanadas were awesome and they are the biggest I've had! Both chicken and beef are delicious! The pan de bono made me wish I had ordered more! Definitely going to order again and again! Good job Barista Cafe! read more

A little Colombia coffee shop by Miracle mile. The food is like homemade and everyday they have different menus for lunch. They also have wraps, salads, and Colombia goodies(empandas , pan de bono). The prices for the lunch special is $6 to $8. Their staff are very helpful and polite. This a must try for anyone that likes Colombian food and work by Miracles mile. read more
