Café Bea - Beware 18% Service Charge included for parties of 1 or larger! - Cafes Near Me - Miami, Florida

I stopped by Café Bea for breakfast this morning and it ended up being one of those spots that feels like a hidden neighborhood gem. The place has a really cozy, relaxed vibe -- nothing overly fancy, just a comfortable café where you can sit, enjoy good food, and take your time. There's a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating, which is perfect for Miami mornings. The menu leans Mediterranean with some Latin influences, and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully put together. I started with the croquetas, which were crispy on the outside and creamy inside -- easily one of the highlights. For my main dish I had the avocado toast with serrano ham, avocado and over easy eggs, and the flavors were simple but really well balanced. The bread was perfectly toasted and the ingredients tasted high quality. Service was friendly and welcoming and were attentive. A couple small things to note: weekends can get crowded, and you might have to wait a bit for a table. But honestly, the food and atmosphere make it worth it. Overall, Café Bea is a great spot if you're looking for a laid-back brunch with really solid food and coffee. It's the kind of place you could easily become a regular at. read more

I've come here several times during the past years. I like their style of menu, mostly for brunch. Cafecitos like cafe con leche, cappuccino or cortadito... mimosas, fresh OJ or green juice. Sandwiches, Croquetas, salads and "discos" (if you're cuban you'll know). They also have healthy dishes with salmon or chicken, quinoa. Outdoor/indoor seating. Cool, laid back ambience. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Great service, ambiance, and food! It does get busy for brunch on Sundays, beware of some waiting time. Good is fresh and delicious! Cappuccino is really good and my husband has their cortadito, and love it. They out evaporated milk and condensed milk. Service is great and they are very attentive and polite. Great place overall and will keep coming back. read more

I have been going to Bea since they started. The quality of the food, and the service of their staff, are unique. There no place like them, They make you feel welcome and go far and beyond to give you the best service possible. I love this place!!!! Bea, you are simply the BEST! read more

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. Ambiance was nice and trendy but the food was strange. The ham croqueta has a béchamel sauce, which nowhere does it state on the menu. The eggs Benedict were undercooked and slimy. It comes with a miserable piece of one bacon and one piece of serrano ham and topped with too much paprika. The eggs with toast. Something simple. Was too salty. The toast was good but the butter that was on it was basically just oil. The coffee was alright the only thing probably worth drinking for those who enjoy a strong, bitter coffee. Will not be returning here a true disappointment. read more

Café Bea is a solid spot for brunch making it available all day long (while they are open, that is). Their schedule has been a moving target throughout the past few years - they were originally open until 9 PM during snow bird/high season (Miami winter) and they would close earlier on regular season, summer (I'm guessing they originally came from up north?). I think after the pandemic they switched to closing at 6p, then switched closing to 4pm shortly after, and now weekends at 5p, apparently - I can't keep track (or wake up early enough on most days to do my things and be there with enough time before they close). They are generally super busy on weekends so expect a line for a table, although today I noticed that they drastically expanded their outside sitting options so maybe the wait is less now - I showed up at 3:50p thinking they were about to close before being told weekends they close at 5p. They spruced the place up a few months ago with a myriad of faux flowers, fruits and shrubbery; they also spruced up their prices to account for it - it must have been an expensive refurb - with this upgrade they also started prescribing themselves an automatic 18% service charge; except it's more like 21%+ once you consider they also apply this charge to the taxes and to a 1% Miami-Dade food and Beverage tax that's unique to them - I've not seen it at any other Miami restaurant - restaurant tax in Miami is 7.35% - in any case, someone should explain you can't apply a service charge to taxes and fees - before this last billing change, they used to charge a 3-3.5% credit card fee, which went away now with the new service charge and the 1% MD F&B fee - it would be hard to justify continuing with the credit card fee too. Add all these fees to higher prices and you get a significantly higher total bill. They used to have not just very good prices, but actually LOW prices on most items; however, now they are more on the high side, specially for the type of establishment it is, this is not fine dining - it's a tiny cafe in a small, but busy strip mall with a bustling adult day care to its left side and an even busier and highly inconvenient child day care immediately on their right side, and 70% of the weekend sitting is outside sitting - now, it'd be unfair to not acknowledge they've worked REALLY hard to make the outside sitting as attractive and comfortable as possible considering the brutal Miami heat - aside from that, $30 for a small piece of steak with a small side of mashed potatoes and $32 for a similar piece of short rib doesn't seem befitting the place - my friend didn't want to come with me because of he feels the prices are not aligned with the entrees, but he humored me - he got the $16 burger, which wasn't flavorful, and he's VERY easy to please (I'm the difficult one). $8.95 for a Flying Saucer (disco volador) is high in my opinion given it's a small sand wind; something that should be more around $6.95 IMO. I wouldn't say that any of their dinner entrees are at the 'above average' level and thus I'm not sure they justify the above-average prices charged at a typical Cuban restaurant - specially with Islas Canarias and FINKA (the two best Cuban cuisine restaurants in Miami) literally just couple of blocks away in either direction offering an endless number of flavorful larger-sized entree choices ranging from basic to sophisticated, and for less or similar prices at the top end. Bea's strong suit is really BRUNCH and its lunch salads and sandwiches. In summary, if brunch is your thing, this is one of the few options in town, specially this side of town, and their brunch options are decent and VERY consistent, so you know what you'll be getting. Consequently, for brunch, I recommend the Huevos Rotos, Croquetas, the grouper sandwich - all of their sandwiches are good to great - this is their forte - you can't go wrong with any of their sandwiches; and their French Toast is very enjoyable. Their croquetas are more in line with the original Spanish recipe with a softer interior due to having more bechamel sauce - I like the Manchego cheese ones. So if you're expecting the typical 'hard' Cuban croqueta you can use as a projectile, know these won't be it - these are way better in my opinion. To me, these are another of their brunch specialties. read more

Café Bea - HUEVOS ROTOS (has an extra egg) - Cafes Near Me - Miami, Florida

BEWARE : 18% tip is already included and they won't tell you so you'll give additional tip. I found it ridiculous to include tip for just two people. Service could be better however food is good. read more

The eggs Benedict and turkey sandwich were delicious and their presentations were simple yet elegant. We also had the manchego croqueta and the chorizo. The Manchego is much tastier. As for drinks, the mint lemonade is great but stay away from the Malteada. Waaaaaaay too sweet. The service was outstanding. What I did not like at all is slapping an automatic 18% gratuity for a party of two. And to add insult to injury, they are sneaky enough to hide that small piece of information when they present you with an electronic check and are not told of its details. You are then invited to add a tip. Naturally, I left a good tip commensurate with the service. Had I only known about the automatically added one??? What a scam! They get away with it because you are not given a printed receipt or the electronic device to review. It stays in the hands of the waitress! BE FOREWARNED! read more

Ambiance in this place is really great. The decor is amazing all the way to the bathroom. Food is a 7/10. Nothing crazy but for the price is good. Service is a bit lacking. Waiter brought us cups with ice for water but never brought us the water. 15 minutes in i had to ask for water and ask for him to take our order. I do have to say food came out pretty fast. read more

95% of the experience was good the last 5%, not so good. Had breakfast here with my family. Enjoyed the original dishes like avocado toast with fried eggs on top and their take on eggs benedict. My wife really like the Cortadito with condensed milk. Service was good but a little clumsy as the servers seem to be helping each other out but not focusing on their table, nonetheless no issues overall. However, when the bill came, I noticed an 18% service fee. I asked the server who explained that they put this on all orders. Wait you are forcing a TIP on me? I would have tipped anyway I just do not like being forced to tip. Oh and by the way after you agree to the fee a screen pops up for a tip, a 2nd tip...not right. Tricky. Liked the food but managements making me pay a tip and asking for an additional tip just feels like they are placing their employee expense on the customer. I have other alternatives; not likely I will return. read more

OMG. The service (Lisandro) he was really nice courteous and great service. The food was amazing. I had a cafe con leche a tomato soup - the steak sandwich and a cortadito. My wife had the avocado tostada with the croqueta and was really good. Everything was delicious. I will definitely recommend this place and I will come back. read more

First time visiting this cute little spot! They have about eight tables inside but a huge outdoor patio with more tables and fans. To start I ordered the ham croquettes which were OK, but I like mine a little more crispy. When I asked the server for suggestions between two menu options, he really didn't give me an answer so I went with the bacon burger, which was actually cooked well. They bring the food out on a little wooden platter which I would've preferred a plate so I can dip the fries and some ketchup which were just little packets. He brought me . They have a menu for breakfast ,lunch , and dinner and overall was pretty good. Will be back to try other foods soon. read more

Sat in outdoor patio. Ordered huevvos revueltos. Two eggs, ham and greasy french fries. They charge almost $14 , no bread and the worst American coffee I've ever had. They include the tip in bill. Service was mediocre, they know they're getting a tip. There were also people smoking at tje next table. The space is enclosed, it has a roof so smoking should not be allowed. I do not recommend this place, at all. read more

Was excited to try this place but I guess I had higher expectations. I do not feel the prices were aligned for the items offered or the location. This is a cafe and don't even serve matcha. The Croque Madame they presented was an open faced sandwich - this is not a true croque madame. Go somewhere like Bonjour Bakery where they present it correctly, like a sandwich with egg on top as it should be. I also did not appreciate the automatic gratuity for a party of 2. read more

Stopped here for an impromptu brunch date on Saturday. We were quickly seated indoors, party of 2, without a wait, which was a pleasant surprise! They offer indoor and outdoor seating, so nice to have that option. We were very pleased with the service, our waiter was great & attentive. The place is nicely decorated. We had the Smoked Salmon Bagel & the Huevos Rotos. The salmon was our favorite. read more

I will be honest; I had not been here in five years. Last time I was at Cafe Bea the food and ambience were great, but the service was terrible, and I said it my review then. Both times I was there service was super slow and felt like I was imposing on them. I decided to not return. I had been thinking about giving them another chance because my friends went to their new location in Pinecrest and loved it. I am so glad I returned. I went back to their original place in Kendall. The food is still delicious; the ambiance still quant. And the service is EXCELLENT. They were friendly, helpful, and on time. I will not wait years to return. They will see me there soon. read more

Food ordered: Egg Benedict Huevos rotos 2. Milkshakes de malteada Manchego cróquets Review: Mediocre service: wanted to sit inside we were willing to wait however we weren't given an option. The egg Benedict were undercooked and white slime oozing out of it- yuck! The ham and cheese disc was more of a grill cheese since the hm was barely noticiable. The milkshakes was horrible it barely tasted like malteada and it had a weird taste to it- not sure if it was the milk used or perhaps they make it with ice cream. The only serving grace is was the croquettes (manchego) read more

Really nice, small Euro-cafe like restaurant situated in a location that you wouldn't expect. So they mix Euro style cooking with Latin and the combination simply works. Expect a line most of the time (it moves reather quickly) and also keep in mind that you will wait three times as long for an inside seat than sitting outside (covered). Would like to see ice tea on the menu, coffee and lemonade were the other choices unless you want soda. Vegetarians, please make sure to remove ham from the avacado toast. Service was above average and prices were very reasonable. Would certainly go back and this place has earned it's stars.... read more

This place is a breath of fresh air! The food is very well done and and the dishes far exceeded what I expected. They have a pleasantly varied menu. Came here for breakfast with my parents, who are pretty picky. But they were both able to find dishes that suited them and both raved about the quality of the food, coffee, and bread. It also has a very cute vibe inside and outside. The service was also stellar. Will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a well-priced breakfast (I can't speak to the other meals or menu items, but all looked delicious and economical.) read more
