    Pork torta
    Parker W.

    Jennifer Lopez was a psychiatrist who could enter people's dark recesses of the mind in the terrible film "The Cell." Customers at Cafe Miami can achieve the same feeling of gaining access to one's psyche upon entering the threshold of Cafe Miami. The decor is a visual assault reminiscent of psychedelic mushroom trips during college years at Kent State. The food is a mashup of traditional breakfast and Carribean. The service and food were both excellent. The Cuban sandwich was a better value than pork torta although both were satisfying. The arroz con pollo was a solid dish as well. I am sad I did not get to meet the famous Larry who was previous owner. He sounded "cool as a polar bear in a freezer" as Gucci Mane says.

    Another place I would have never visited or known existed without Yelp. A little hard to find and the construction out front doesn't help. The owner actually greeted us at the door welcoming us in. Once in, you're kind of in a different world. I've never seen a diner (its not a cafe) with so much "stuff" in it. We had 2 of the all Americans, extra bacon, 2 cups of coffee and a can of coke. $10.80! And it was good. We'll be back. The address one reviewer listed is incorrect!

    Fantastic food and prices. Owner Larry cooks himself and if you stay close to the kitchen area you will get a great conversation for free! There is on street parking in front during some hours (see signs posted) and there are two parking areas (one off Cypress). http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cafe-Miami/114021831962196

    Not sure why the coco latte defies gravity, but it sure was delicious!

    Went on a Sunday late morning 7/19 because it was too hot to cook at home and we needed to refuel after a long day a festival the day before. I don't recall much of the menu from the prior owner, but I knew I wanted to come back after reading about the Cuban items. My BF and I split fried sweet plantains with black beans and a generous helping of sour cream. He had the Cubano sandwich (his only critique was that he wishes he had the sauces from Barroco!) and I had the Cuban breakfast with a huge hunk of Cuban bread. I would have finished every last bite of it if it wasn't for the coco latte I ordered. Iced latte made with coconut milk and topped with whipped cream and shredded coconut--a meal in itself. Leftovers saved me from cooking that night, too! Will totally go back. Super friendly waitress and owner-the only thing preventing me from giving it five stars was the wait for the check and change. 4.5***

    Last week I had the wonderful fortune of finding Cafe Miami via the internet. I would like to confirm what is written in all the previous reviews. My own contribution would be emphasizing the uniqueness, the eclectic ambiance, the 'Larry' persona of friendliness which caught me off guard, the really tasty food, the wondrous art and memorabilia collection which you can feast your eyes on. Two drawbacks: I like my coffee stronger and a more noticeable street sign may be a good idea. My overall rating: a top notch diamond. Will go as often as I can.

    Great food! The Cuban sandwiches are the best and I also liked the ham and cheese empanadas. They have a breakfast menu too.

    I love George and Larry, the place, the food, the talk, the "world according to Reagan" poster, and the prices.

    -Limited Menu, Unlimited Taste-…read more I used to go to Dave's Cosmic Subs in Macedonia all the time, in fact, I've probably eaten half the menu there. While at the Cleveland Zoo, I noticed that they have a location in the food court area. The line was long, but moving at a steady pace, so we hopped in line. Sadly, they didn't have the "Super Dave" sub I'm used to getting, but I quickly was able to find an option that suited me. I ordered myself a "Crazy Dave" sub and eagerly waited for my name to be called. It's just as good as I remember, so I wasn't surprised that the line was longer than Pizza Hut and McDonald's lines combined. Their sandwiches are made from seemingly fresher ingredients than most of the food places that the zoo has to offer. It's a bit sloppy (overstuffed with meats, cheeses, and vegetables), so be prepared to ask for napkins. The prices are great for the portion size, I'd say that the price is about the same as other locations (I know some zoo restaurants have inflated pricing). You could get away with splitting a sandwich with a friend, or saving half during your walk of the zoo. By far, this is one of the best places to stop and grab food at the Cleveland Zoo, it's located at the food court next to the indoor seating area. I highly recommend that you try it out if you're looking for a healthier option that tastes fantastic.

    This is a remarkable place. First and foremost, the food. Jeremy is clearly a genius at pickling…read more We tried pickled everything. It was all amazing. When I walked in, I had to settle for an unbelievably delicious scrapple sandwich because they were temporarily out of pastrami. Scrapple with a handmade, red, cabbage, slaw, onion, marmalade, and cheese. So creative and so delicious. My wife had asparagus and fennel soup. The fennel perfectly cut through the richness of the asparagus. Add to this one of the best potato salads I've ever had and it would've been enough. Until Jeremy came over to the table with some fresh pastrami to taste. I don't know where the best pastrami in America is, but whatever it is it's unlikely to be better than this. This is a place you should not miss.

    Housed in a historic building in Ohio City next to a bevy of other great dining options, I always…read moreend up gravitating toward Larder because it is exceptional and because the owners are just such damn good people. I love supporting what they have going on here, and its no surprise that they've been James Beard nominated multiple times. The rotating menu of sandwiches always deliver. The fried chicken is the staple I like the most, but my husband prefers the pastrami. Those are the two I always recommend newcomers start with. The best sandwich they make, in my opinion, is the fresh & fried tomato sandwich. I watch their Instagram posts like a hawk in August when I know the local tomato crop should be coming in, and then I try to go at least twice while it's on the menu. Sitting outside on a sunny day with fried tomato juice dripping down your chin is a version of my heaven. Don't sleep on the rest of the menu, though, where the pickle selection, house-made sodas and egg creams, and baked goods almost out shine the mains.
