This was the perfect brunch restaurant. We sat outside with the beautiful umbrellas helping us against the sun. This restaurant is walking distance of the beach. For food I ordered the tres leches French toast. The were delicious. Different than most restaurants. The size / shape are unique like large French toast sticks. Crispy exterior with a extremely soft interior. The caramel sauce and whipped cream were the perfect balance. I also ordered scrambled eggs with cheese and a matcha. The match was ok it wasn't anything to write home about. My other party had on letters which were good with potato's. Also tea which they served with a actual tea pot and mini honeys. Great presentation. The staff was extremely nice even letting us practice our Spanish. read more

Oh my gosh, do not go to Café Americano if you are visiting Miami as a tourist. They somehow instantly know when you are a visitor, and at first, the service is overly nice, almost like they are rolling out the red carpet. You feel special, flattered, and excited to sit down. And then... poof. As soon as you are seated, it is like you evaporated from their memory. You are there, but apparently invisible, and suddenly all that charm vanishes. The food came out cold, which would have been fine if it were still tasty, but sadly, it was neither warm nor particularly good. They took it away to "fix it," but the damage was done. I lost track of how many times I saw our waiter after that, and unfortunately, it wasn't enough to make up for what I paid or for the experience that had already gone off the rails. You can forgive a small mistake, but when the cold food and disappearing service team are combined, it feels like a comedy of errors. So let me give you some friendly advice: stay away. Stay away. Stay away. Unless you are looking for a dining experience that doubles as a lesson in how quickly customer service can vanish, do yourself a favor and avoid this place. I'll admit it had story value for me, and I left with a funny tale to tell, but as far as eating out in Miami goes, there are far better options that won't make you question if you were ever seated in the first place. read more

Breakfast and service were very good. I was grateful that I could make an online reservation the night before. I was able to get side orders of scrambled eggs, small fruit side (fresh blueberries and strawberries) and smoked salmon. I appreciated our server letting me know their tap water isn't filtered. Everything was wonderful. read more

The place is vibrant and has a great atmosphere. Service was friendly and welcoming. The calamari was ok. The breading is slightly excessive, feels like a breading made for fried chicken. Bell pepper taste is very present and the calamari come mixed with bell peppers. I felt I ate more peppers than I ate calamari. Cacio e Pepe was really good, I really recommend. It was creamy and flavorful with a perfectly balanced taste. Quesabirria tacos were also pretty good. Don't expect an authentic taco or traditional consome to dip the taco but it is original and very tasty. The meat is really tender and flavorful, the dipping soup is slightly dense but works as a salsa and goes really well with the taco. Overall very pleased with the taco. The side of corn has a nice sauce but the raw onion makes it feel like pico de gallo. Very fresh but not my cup of tea. read more

Great location near the hotel I stayed at to have a sit down meal to tide me over until I was on my cruise. No wait for a table for one outside. I was taken care of throughout my dining experience even with adjuatment to my bill because the eggs with my entree were not to my liking. I even tried dressing them up with hot sauce. It just wasn't tasty. I didn't ask for the adjustment; my waiter on my behalf asked for it. I basically did not get charged the automatic service charge with the adjustment, which I was appreciative of! The rest of the meal was satisfying: the coffee was fresh, the bacon crispy and meaty, the hash browns also crispy with pillowy soft insides, and the multigrain toast- not overly toated. The black currant jam is a must try! This was a throwback to see since my Grandma use to make homemade jam! It was nostalgic to enjoy and partake of. In fact, I finished off the whole little jar before I knew it. Oops! I think CA knows that will happen, which is why 3 of the jars on the table were Black Currant. All in all, convenient and filling meal. It has high reviews on Yelp for a reason, so give ir a try and stop by. read more

Café Americano in Miami Beach is the kind of place where the food punches your taste buds in the best way possible -- bold, flavorful, and totally satisfying. Whether you're craving a hearty brunch or a tasty dinner, everything feels like a mini celebration on your plate. I'm pretty sure my dish was doing a happy dance before it even hit the table. But the real MVP was Gisselle, our waitress, who served up kindness with every smile. She was so warm and attentive that I almost asked if she gave lessons on how to make customers feel like royalty. If the food is the star, Gisselle is definitely the dazzling spotlight making the whole experience unforgettable. Highly recommend--come for the food, stay for the charm! read more

Came here for a nice girl's brunch and overall it was solid! The outdoor patio is super cute with beautiful views, and the indoor space is spacious and has a fun vibe with the bar and bright colors. The breakfast potatoes were probably the high light. The breakfast burrito was alright, a little mushy but not bad. The tres leches French toast was a very sweet treat, it tasted more cinnamon and sugar than tres leches but was yummy nonetheless. The coffee was also pretty good, and I had a simple Americano and they gave me a refill in a to go cup which was a nice bonus. Would give this place another try if I was in the area but not sure I'd go out of my way to run back. read more

Came here with a group of 4 ladies on a Thursday night. They have inside and outside seating right along Ocean Drive. We opted for outside so we could partake in some people watching while dining. We were brought to a table right out on the sidewalk and were promptly given some menus. 3 of us ordered beer and 1 person ordered the passion fruit martini. (Waiter's recommendation) it looked fabulous and she said it tasted really good. I ordered the Turkey Cobb Chop and it was really tasty and fresh with lots of turkey chunks and just the right amount of dressing. Two ladies had the Classic Steak Burgers with fries; and they both enjoyed every part: bun, steak patty, and the fries. The final member of our group had the Salmon Poke Bowl. It's a big portion with fresh salmon, radishes, cucumbers, sesame seeds, seaweed salad, avocado and rice. She loved it and took half of it to go. Our service was good too; and they added a 20% service charge which I personally like because it eliminates the guesswork. There are literally 100's of great restaurants in South Beach and dozens along Ocean Drive. I would still recommend Cafe Americano for at least one meal if you're visiting the area. They have a wide menu of food options and you won't be disappointed with the food, service, or location. read more

Tourist trap. Don't do it. Lots of great restaurants inland a street or two.. never eat off ocean drive. They price gouge you and the food is mediocre at best. They also already have gratuity included on the bill so most servers don't feel it's necessary to do their job correctly since they will be tipped anyway.. I ordered a Moscow mule that said $17 which is already insane.. well the server, Heber, charged me $27. The chilaquiles were dry and had absolutely no cotija on them. My man's burrito was just shredded unmelted cheese and a few tiny pieces of chopped bacon.. one chunk of chorizo Hahah. Our server, Heber, never once checked on us to see how the food came out or how the drinks were. Total rip off leaving me feeling very slighted. read more

Was so disappointed! Saw a few photos from previous customers that there were iguanas but didn't see any! Other than that, food, service and location were great. There was some type of festival going on so there was plenty of people watching to go around. The shrimp bowl was like warm. Wasn't cold nor hot so not sure which would have been better. But still good and the portion was good size. Server was very friendly and always smiling. read more

Cafe Americano - Garlicky Shrimp Bowl* - American Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

We visited the restaurant for breakfast twice during our stay. The first visit was okay, nothing particularly memorable, but good enough to return and try something new. On our second visit, I ordered the Birria Benedict, which sounded incredible on the menu: slow-cooked brisket birria, melted Mexican cheese, served on an artisanal English muffin, topped with soft poached eggs and chipotle hollandaise, with breakfast potatoes on the side. Unfortunately, the dish didn't deliver. While the meat was present and flavorful, the cheese -- which was clearly advertised as melted, was nowhere to be found. When I asked about it, I was told it was "mixed into the meat," but it didn't come through in texture or flavor the way you'd expect, especially compared to a traditional birria taco. The eggs were also disappointing. Instead of a soft poached egg with a runny yolk, mine was closer to medium-boiled. The English muffin was extremely thick, which threw off the balance of the dish -- maybe that's the "artisanal" part, but it didn't work well here. Service during this visit wasn't the best, it felt a bit slow and they didn't care. I will say the breakfast potatoes were excellent and probably the highlight of the meal. Overall, the Birria Benedict was a great idea on paper, but the execution fell short. I'd recommend sticking to simpler menu items if you visit. read more

Decided to hit up Ocean Drive in South Beach for breakfast. Stopped in at Café Americano. Like many of the restaurants on Ocean Drive, it was very touristy, very lively, very crowded even for a Sunday. Great breakfast menu, great selection of even breakfast cocktails and coffees and the best part was sitting outside. People everywhere, and from everywhere. Amazing cars riding up and down Ocean Drive with their music blasting. Beautiful weather, beautiful music beautiful and attentive staff. Overall great spot. read more

Good brunch spot on the beach! Ask for outside seating to enjoy the beautiful weather. Saw people working with laptops too - so work friendly if that matters to you.

Stopped by for a bloody Maria and we are glad that we did. The drink was very good and came with two great tasting shrimps. Perfect beach feel with a great breeze blowing as we listened to easy listening music but beware it is pricey. 5 drinks came out to $140 (that's US currency). Service was outstanding and fast. You're not able to see the ocean from this view but still worth stopping by. read more

The lobster tail and steak getting more oily after a while, but because we are sitting outside(on the walk side), so the food getting cold more easily.

I had a good experience here twice. It's a little pricey for what you get, but you're basically paying for a location and view of the beach . One star deducted for not being upfront tip that was included. I don't mind as much anymore that it's included, but I am not happy when an option for tipping is presented when there is already a tip included without any comment from the server. My colleague ended up tipping 40%+ I had a breakfast burrito and a standard American breakfast burrito is a smallish but reasonably tasty. The American breakfast was perfectly fine. Outdoor seating was nice, inside was quite loud and echo-ey. If that's an issue for you recommend seating outdoors. read more

This place is very cute and instagram worthy. We sat outside on a nice evening and the scenery was so pretty. We got a round of cocktails. I got the espresso martini and it was so delicious and creamy. The other fruity cocktails my friend got were tasty as well! I got the poke bowl with tuna for my entree and was pleasantly surprised how big the portion was. It was so fresh too. The sides provided a crunchy taste to the rice and tuna. I gave it a 4/5 due to the service. Our waiter was nice but she wasn't around very much and we couldn't get anyone to help us for long periods of time. Overall, I would come back! read more

This place is an ok place to eat for brunch. The food was good but was shocked at the price of how much it was. Just for a mocktail it's $13. You can guess the rest after that.. for two people it was $90 without tip. Which is crazy to me. Welcome to Miami Beach I guess. The service was good though & it's a cute place. If you sit inside it's warm too, because they leave the doors open (at least the day we were there) read more

I walked into this restaurant simply to use the restroom while trying to find a descent drink spot and ended up hitting the gold mine! South Beach was quite underwhelming when it comes to cocktails. They call South Beach the "tourist trap" and I can kind of see why. I mean, I am definitely the tourist and enjoy touristy things. However, most places in South Beach load up their drinks with cheap liquor and try to mask it with sugary drink fillers such as syrups. But when I smelled the delicious food aromas and noticed the undeniably beautiful drink of their guests at the bar, I had to try! Nieves was my mixologist and she was so wonderful! She was eager to get my drink to my taste level - not too sweet and extra freshly muddled blueberries. Heck yea! I had 3 of these babies and ate 2 orders of their chicken tacos. Holy macaroni the food is SO good! Whether you are just visiting or a local ... from one foodie/drink snob to another ... I give this place a 10/10 for drinks, food, and service. Enjoy Yelp pals! read more

Cafe Americano - Blueberry Lemon Drop - American Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Nothing amazing. Overpriced, Slow Service, Mediocre/Not super Fresh Food. This restaurant is right on Ocean Drive so naturally everything becomes more expensive. It is located very close to the beach so made for tourists. They have advertised All Day Brunch but it ends at 11am, only select breakfast items are available after that. They also add an automatic 20% tip to your meals, and service wasn't that great. The Calamari tasted dry and previously frozen, definitely not fresh, and mixed with red peppers the same shape as the calamari ... both deep fried. The batter was tasty but not worth the price. The Breakfast Burrito and potatoes were average. Potatoes reminded me of frozen potatoes you toss in the toaster oven. We don't recommend this place for the food. It's edible but overpriced and very mediocre. read more

This a very cute establishment. Party of 4 on a Sunday morning got seated right way inside. We ordered: Huevos Rancheros : it was on the smaller size portion compare to the other items that we ordered. Loved the crunchy tortilla and the flavors of this dish. Breakfast Burrito: hubs got this and said 8/10 it was lacking a bit of salt and flavors. But it has good amount of chorizo, avocado and wasn't filled with potato. He likes that potatoes we're on the side. Southwestern Avocado Toast :The toast was very flavorful but the side salad was on the biter side. Not sure if they used watercress or what it was that made this simple green salad bitter Denver Omelet: This was very flavorful, all the ingredients tied together nicely. They also had really good coffee. read more

This is my second time visiting & I gotta say the experience was not much to brag about . Sometimes people treat you less just because you are by yourself & you aren't ordering a lot of food . And as a Solo traveler it's not fun ! Last year I was here I was totally treated differently, because we were a 7/8 people together. They were like on top of everything! And that's why I decided that if I were to visit that area again I will come back to have lunch here . What a disappointment! The food was ok, my virgin drink was ok too.

Cafe Americano - nice setting beach side . Ordered breakfast here on a Monday morning - Açaí bowl plus the burrito and an Americano coffee . Service was friendly - when I mentioned the Americano coffee was poured from a jug of regular coffee sitting on a stand and look warm - our server went off to get one freshly made. Kudos for making that right. Food was good and quality of ingredients good. The only complaint I have with the restaurants here is this 20% slap on tip . It really is no incentive to the server to do anything but to bring the food and that's it - want your water glass filled - you better ask - so why am I paying 20% !!! read more
