Avocado Toast
Nathalia M.

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.

Zucchini soup

This is not location I went to. I went to the one in Pinecrest across the falls mall. In shopping center where the new first watch and tjmax. I love the food the zucchini soup is a must is delicious and got the italian sandwich. The service was good. See below took few pictures.

Beware 18% Service Charge included for parties of 1 or larger!

18% service charge for parties of 1 and larger!!... food was great, but not a fan of mandatory charges like this.

Excellent service... very fast... the service was very good, and the food was excellent.

HUEVOS ROTOS (has an extra egg)
Carlos P.

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.

Breakfast was good- good service and ambiance nice Eggs Benedict's were good - the cheese croquettes ok I guess - didn't kill me! And that I love cheese They were busy - but doesn't justify food served on the colder side for my taste

Cortadito and orange juice
Jennifer V.

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.

Ham croquettes
Christine D.

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.

Cortadito (condense milk)
Jorge R.

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.

This place deserves more than 5 stars. I love love how they are a non profit and hire special needs…read moreassociates. Especially being a special need parent it's something that crosses my mind a lot, "what will my son have". The little small touches from art work, book selection and seating was special. What sealed the deal to make this one place that truly stands on its own was the Sunday Letter section. My gf and I have plans to write a letter this Sunday just to add it to their section. The letters written are so sincere and heartwarming. I cannot wait to return!!!!

Music was a vibe as I remember walking in hearing Bob Marley "Three Little Birds" and then Stevie Wonder "Ribbon in the Sky." Yup! Already hooked lol the guy at the register (I wanna say he's the owner) was so kind. Gave great suggestions. I specifically got the chocolate chip muffin because he said he has one everyday lol I haven't tried it but I don't doubt it's good! My husband got a strawberry shortcake donut which was delish! In which they let me know it's from another business but I forgot the name, however, really good donut. For our drinks, I got an iced pumpkin latte and my husband got a honey maple latte. Both were perfect. Generous amount and perfect sweetness! So there's a really cute library in the back that catches my attention. I immediately go there as we wait for our order and picked out a book that I immediately start to read. As I'm reading, the owner (wife of the guy I believe I met at the counter) says I can keep the book! Excuse me what?! I was so happy lol what a gem of a coffee shop. I'll be back to enjoy their other menu items as they also have warm breakfast items etc. Lastly, they also own Local Pie which is right next to it and it's also delish! Didn't even know it until I asked because the guy at the counter (so sorry I don't know his name) had a shirt on that said Local Pie. Anyway, go to both! You won't regret it.

After being regular customers for so long, we simply asked for a replacement because the drink we received tasted awful and did not meet our expectations. Instead of trying to resolve the issue or accommodate a reasonable request, our replacement was immediately refused without any effort to help. It is very disappointing when customer loyalty is not valued, especially after consistently supporting a business over time. A simple gesture could have turned a negative experience into a positive one, but unfortunately, that was not the case. The lack of customer care, flexibility, and appreciation for loyal customers has led us to make the decision not to return. In a city like Miami, there are countless places that offer not only great food and drinks, but also exceptional service, where customers are always treated as a priority. Sadly, this was not our experience at Bonjour Bakery. No matter how good a place may be, customer service is what truly builds long-term relationships and keeps people coming back. We hope Bonjour Bakery reconsiders its approach to customer care in the future.

Smoke & Dough... I Went Looking for BBQ... and Found One of the Best Pastrami Sandwiches in South…read moreFlorida Back in my day, going out for BBQ wasn't something you did every weekend. It was a special occasion. If you grew up in Miami, you probably remember The New Hickory on Coral Way. Then there was Uncle Tom's on 8th Street. Great food... but let's be honest... everybody was just a little nervous eating there because it was right next to the cemetery. You'd be halfway through your ribs thinking... "¿Tú crees que ese ruido vino del parking... o del cementerio? Later on we graduated to Luther's on Bird Road and 117th Avenue, and of course, Shorty's, the undisputed king that's been feeding hungry Miamians for generations. These days it seems like a new BBQ place opens every other week in South Florida. I recently tried one of the newer spots in South Miami... except when we got there they were out of half the menu. Nothing kills your BBQ excitement faster than hearing, "Sorry... we're out of brisket." That's like walking into Versailles and hearing they're out of croquetas. So when our friends Ana and Henry invited Betty and me to Smoke & Dough in Kendall, I was ready to get my BBQ on. We walked into this unassuming strip mall, I grabbed the menu, ready to order ribs or brisket... ...and then I saw it. The Pastrami Sandwich. Now THAT got my attention. Finding a really good pastrami sandwich down here isn't easy. Roasters 'N Toasters has a very good one. Lox of Bagels (what many of us still call Lox of Lox) makes a solid one too. But this one... This one beat them both by a mile. The meat was warm, juicy, incredibly flavorful, the cheese perfectly melted, the Thousand Island dressing was just the right amount, and the bread held everything together without falling apart after the second bite... a miracle in itself. And it wasn't one of those fancy little sandwiches you need a magnifying glass to find on the plate. This thing was substantial. I shared it with my wife... ...and I was full. ¡Y yo soy tremendo comelón! Our friends ordered the brisket empanadas, a quiche, and brisket sandwiches that looked absolutely outstanding. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked like somebody back there really cared about what they were serving. The atmosphere surprised me. Instead of feeling like an old-school BBQ joint with picnic tables and sauce bottles everywhere, it feels more like a cozy neighborhood bistro that just happens to know its way around a smoker. Comfortable, relaxed, and the kind of place where nobody is rushing you out the door because another party is waiting. They also have what looked like an excellent selection of wines and craft beers, which gives the place a slightly elevated feel without being pretentious. Now... everybody has been telling me about their famous **Smoked Flan Apparently it's slowly cooked on the barbecue pit for about five hours, giving the creamy custard and caramel a subtle smoky flavor. Believe me... I wanted to try it. But after that pastrami... Game over. There wasn't enough room left. The owners came over, introduced themselves, shared a little of the history behind Smoke & Dough, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Those little moments still matter. You leave feeling like they appreciate your business instead of treating you like the next number in line. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Good food. Great company. Friendly owners. A relaxed atmosphere where you actually want to stay awhile. After our last dining experience at another restaurant where we practically felt like they were timing us with a stopwatch, this was a refreshing change. Will I be back? Absolutely. Not just for the BBQ... I'm coming back to see if that smoked flan lives up to the hype. And maybe... Just maybe... I'll order ,another pastrami sandwich.

Went to Smoke and Dough with my brother on my birthday, what a find. We had a platter of pulled…read morepork, brisket and pork belly, along with an outstanding unique corn bread. While the meats were awesome that corn bread needs star billing. Neat place where you order at the counter but very attentive servers bring the food to your table. The baked goods including a wide selection of empanadas makes this an ideal breakfast option also. A hidden gem in West Kendall allows folks not to take a long trek to Wynwood or Brickell to eat quality bbq in a wonderful ambiance.
