I only tried one item on the menu, the grilled chicken sandwich. The sandwich uses chicken breast meat, which is very easy to overcook, resulting in a tough or dried out piece of meat. A thin breast can go from just-cooked to overdone in a minute. I liked all the fillings that came with the sandwich, and the service was fine and friendly, but the dried out breast ruined it for me. read more

On Saturday, June 7, 2025, while waiting for my flight at Terminal D2 of Miami International Airport, I stopped by Café Versailles to purchase a coffee and a Cuban sandwich. I intended to enjoy the sandwich during my flight, so I placed it in my bag. However, when I opened it about an hour later, it was clearly spoiled--the strong smell of vinegar was overwhelming, and even the passenger next to me noticed it. Unfortunately, I had to throw the entire sandwich away. While waiting for my order, I also observed some concerning food handling practices. Each cashier had a white box next to the register where completed orders were placed. At one point, while one cashier was taking a new order, another customer's hot croissant was placed in the box. The container partially opened, and I was shocked to see the cashier--wearing gloves but also holding dollar bills--touch the food directly with her gloved fingers. It was disturbing to watch, especially knowing how unsanitary money is. I wanted to warn the customer, but she was in a hurry and had already taken the order. Sadly, this experience left me with the impression that the staff prioritize speed and collecting money over hygiene and customer service. The sandwich cost me $20, which felt like a waste given the poor quality and questionable food safety. I hope management takes these concerns seriously--hygiene, food safety, and customer care should be non-negotiable, especially in a busy airport location. If management wants to confirm, review Check on Ticket # 1920881 Server: Martha, 6/7/25 at 6:48 am - 1 Cuban Sandwich. read more

We mostly just come here for some quick bites and not really coffee. The beef empanadas are great and very tasty. Avoid the spinach, ham and cheese empanadas as well as the ham croquettes. read more

Horrible service. The people working here at 7:00AM are the most unfriendly, least helpful at this airport. My tostada was stale, they did not toast my croissant, and my cortadito tastes as bitter as the employee who made it. read more

As an employee for Miami international having to come to get a coffee and a pastry & having to wait in line or at the register for the ladies to finish socializing with the rest of the employees here is outrageous ! I waited 5 mins for the one of them to come to the register & start doing their job . I love the coffee and here but the customer service is horrible read more

DONT EAT HERE!!!!!!!!! Especially if you are at the Miami airport!!!! their nasty food gave me the WORST food poisoning of my life.

If you're at all hungry, don't try this location and be disappointed. I usually give airport locations some slack on their food quality, but this place was just super below par. The Cuban sandwich was $8.50, and that was an okay price. But, the quality was severely bad. The whole sandwich itself was dry as it lacked much more needed condiments and fresher meats. The bread was also too dry. It's like old bread that they crisp up to disguise the staleness. There was by no means a line happening so the rush in making the food wasn't necessary. But then again, if you don't have fresh ingredients then it wouldn't matter either way. So thanks for the leftover dry meats. The cheese and spinach empanada was $2.75, and the quality was okay. It was super late in the night so I suppose the quality was on the decline. The hubs read from another review that the pastries actually come from the real Cafe Versailles location in the AM. The empanada is probably the only reason this review is getting 2 stars versus 1. I've heard good things about Cafe Versailles from our (Cuban) friend, but this experience just made me sad. I've had much much better Cuban sandwiches in Atlanta. :/ read more

I have to come here every time I come to Miami airport. It makes great Cuban bakery items esp for an airport restaurant. I always get the croquette and the pastries. It is so good. read more

Honestly, it is one of the better food options that you can find that is located in the airport. Prices are generally more reasonable than a fast food restaurant located in the airport too. Service was quick and food was freshly prepared, just like how I remembered when I used to live in Miami. Please give them a try if you are passing through. read more

After instantly leaving the airport lounge I decided on Versaillles. Got a sandwich and some pastries both very good. The staff was friendly and working hard on New Years Day. read more

Just eh. Went here based on a writeup on the best places to eat in airport and again based on recommendations and being in Miami, ordered the Cuban sandwich. The service was about what one would think in an airport. Though no one was in line, they were more into talking to each other than customers. The sandwich I took to eat at my gate. It did have a nice crispy shell and a reasonable amount of fillings but not enough character. I could taste the mustard but had to really focus to taste the pickle. Overall, just not a noteworthy sandwich and not a memorable experience. read more

This was our dinner while we were in the Miami Airport waiting for our flight. The wait staff was friendly and gladly answered all of our questions. We had empanadas, a Cuban sandwich, and cafe Cubano. Everything was delicious. We even went back and got a guava pastry that was so flaky, buttery, and amazing. read more

I've had good experiences at the actual Cafe Versailles and the airport location by the American gates, but this terminal has limited food options, and the low effort reflects that. The sandwiches are all pre-made, then heated in the press, which is not enough to actually make it a "hot sandwich." The meat in my Cuban sandwich was lukewarm, and cheese was not melted. If you're short of time, then this may save time. I would probably have preferred the Subway a few steps away. read more

I was kind of excited to try this place because our gate was next door and my other group of friends were planning on going to the outside airport location for dinner later. I ate at Pez for dinner and it wasn't enough food. The Cuban sandwich here was $8.50 and that was a decent price for airport prices. I never had a drier sandwich in my life though. The bread had a slight cardboard flavor. The sandwich was lukewarm and wasn't pressed. The meat was nothing special. The spinach and cheese empanada was not bad. Would I come here again? Nope. I've had better Cuban sandwiches in Atlanta. read more

my husband ate a pan con filete here on thursday and got salmonella. he immediately felt uneasy and should have stopped eating but did not follow his instinct. we are on vacation and it is ruined because of the diagnosis. beware. folks at this place probably don't wash their hands after going number 2! read more

Had 3 different empanadas, meat, chicken and ham and cheese. All were very good and not dry at all. The woman who waited on me was super friendly. Also had a pineapple soda and iced coffee to wash it down. Worth stopping by if waiting for a flight in Miami. read more

Review solely based on service. These older women working completely ignored me as I patiently waited for them to ALL finish their conversations with the airport workers outside of the kitchen. Laughing and joking with each other. As I was getting ready to leave they finally served me. I ordered a few pastries and coffee. I still politely said thank you even after leaving a tip only to receive a look of disgust. She literally looked me right in the face as I said thank you gave me a dirty look and turned away from me. If I could take my tip back I definitely would. 5 stars for the pastries and Cortado read more

The ladies here are nice! The empanadas are yummy! Had a steak sandwich for the first time it was good, not great but it was good. I've had better, but this one I just added plantains to it and it was GREAT! Otherwise the pastries are good the coffee is good and this place is consistent in how the food taste! read more

Anytime I travel in/out/thru MIA I pray I get a terminal where a Café Versaille's is nearby... They have the BEST empanadas! Their shredded chicken is spiced perfectly, but their spinach & cheese empanada is amazing! The dough they make to wrap their empanadas in is perfectly flaky, buttery and sooo very tasty! Definitely a treat! read more

Man this place was a just what I needed first thing in the morning in Miami International Airport. Everything was amazing especially the coffee. I can't get enough of it and when I return I'll be sure to stop by for another pick up. They're menu is completely Cuban and it's delicious. read more

Oh my... earlier today, I had two of their chicken empanadas, and I have never had such a severe food-bourne illness in my life. Without going into too much detail, it's worse than food poisoning. It's so bad, I can't sleep. I am a 22 year old healthy male, who works out regularly, and my youthful body was truly no match. I know it sounds very funny(it is), but I can't imagine about what this virus could have done to someone with a weakened immune system. God bless, and please, PLEASE do not order the empanadas at Cafe Versailles. read more

DELICIOUS TO GO OPTIONS!!! Line moves quickly. Bilingual service. Been here multiple times during stops at Miami airport. This is a place to get delicious served hot CUBAN STYLE COFFEE... cafe con leche, cortadito, or regular espresso style coffees... if you want iced coffee or coffees with flavors, go to another place. I have not tried their sandwiches. Always grab the SAVORY AND SWEET BAKED GOODS: They are served warm and fresh with consistently flaky dough YUM! Our favorites Guava and Cheese Pastel/empanada and /or chicken or beef pastel/empanada. Had the spinach empanada this time and also fantastic! read more

Empanadas & juice are amazing...best thing in the entire airport!!! Famous Miami staple!!!

Whenever I travel, I try not to eat the airport food options that we have at home in Virginia. I decided on a Cuban sandwich and got my Wife a Chicken Empanada. The bread was nice and toasty. Combined with the pork, ham and melted cheese, this was the perfect breakfast for my travels. My Wife also thoroughly enjoyed the chicken empanada so much, she got a couple more for the plane ride read more

Traditional Cuban food - has been around forever. Quality today is as good as it was 11 years ago when I first came here. Great mojitos Cuban and Medianoche sandwiches! Yuca fries and black bean soup are a must! read more

Crazy inexpensive, delicious coffee & pastries, very nice staff. I hit this place every time I'm in MIA, regardless of time of day.

A cortadito is the perfect preflight caffeine drink for obvious reasons! Just had a delicious one here, with an amazing guava pastry. Travelers, you are lucky to have such a good authentic Cuban bakery right near your gate!! ¡Provecho! read more

Worst Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Service was also slow and they were very rude. Do not recommend!

Cafe Versailles is my go to when I am at the airport early in the morning and I want to eat some classic Cuban food. This time, however, my flight was delayed and it was getting rather late so I decided to eat a "media noche" - a midnight sandwich. The sandwiches come pre-packaged and are heated upon order. My first impression? I couldn't find a fault in that sandwich. Maybe it was because I was very hungry but I really enjoyed my media noche. My friend, whose mother works for the famous Versailles on 8th street, told me that the pastries are delivered daily, every morning, so that customers can always have a fresh pastry. Although I didn't grab a pastry this time around, I usually go for the guayaba con queso (guava with cheese) and a couple of croquettes. I highly recommend adding them to your order. I am rating it four stars because I felt like I waited a little too long for that sandwich when I was the only person in line. Other than that, no complaints! read more

I never really like I headed out on vacation (assuming I am flying though Miami) until I get coffee here. Love the sweet Cuban espresso drinks. A definite step up from the same old same old of Starbucks. read more

DO NOT GO HERE FOR A CUBAN SANDWICH!! Pre made sandwiches that they heat up for 10 seconds. No mustard or pickles. Just dry meat and some cheese on stale bread. Pathetic. read more

Only 3 stars today for the one in the food court by D20. Where are the old school Cuban ladies who make it so much fun to buy my coffee there? The younger staff today looked like they were going to fall off the counter and acted as if they were doing us a favor. Snacks great as usual. read more

Una croqueta is sometimes all you need to keep peddling towards your terminal. It's not the fanciest kiosk but it gets the job done. Sometimes, going elsewhere is a long commute further away from your terminal than you need to be and they have the favorable options us Miami folk were raised in. It's nothing flashy-just fried balls of goodness and some potent Cuban espresso with enough sugary foam to keep you going the extra mile. I like the empanadas because I can walk and eat them at the same time without a flakey mess. I guess it all depends on the line and your boarding time. If you risk walking over to the Starbucks then you might encounter the same line or even worse. Get your empanada & cafecito on in true miami form. 305 till we die so as long as we make our flight on time. read more

What can I say? It was a huge disappointment! Normally when I get Cafe con leche, it has a great flavor and the coffee barely has any of that acidity that you can get from crappy coffee. Well this place... Not only was the cafe con leche lukewarm it was burnt. It was disgusting. If it wasn't for the fact that I needed my caffeine and the flight was about to take off...I would've thrown it away and gotten a new one from my most hated coffee joint... Starbucks. Yes I know most people love Starbucks... I'm not one of them. I honestly detest them and the coffee here was worse then that one. And honestly, the service. I understand that we are in Miami but would it kill you to speak some English? There was a person behind me that some spoke less Spanish then me and he couldn't get an order in as no one spoke English. :/ And would cracking a smile and saying a "good morning" kill the service crew too? No smile, no greeting... But hey if you speak Spanish as one of the guys that just walked up to the front of the line and cut in front of everyone waiting in line, it's ok apparently. Cuz this guy got to the front and chit chatted with the cashiers in Spanish and he got his food and coffee before anyone else in line. I was like WTH??? Seriously?!?! Horrible customer service and horrible coffee and horrible food.... Not worth the wait nor the money. This is a definite SKIP. read more

Cafe con leche is the perfect cup of coffee for me. Must try the guava and cheese pastillito and spinach and cheese + chicken empanadas!

Only place at the Miami Airport that did not hold me financially hostage. Espresso and 2 pastries for $6.00. And they were tasty too.

Had a pretty late flight out of MIA, stopped by Cafe Versailles for a quick bite so that I wouldn't be hungry in air. My friend recommended their Empanadas and I read about them on an Eater Miami article that recommended essential MIA airport spots to check out. I ate a spinach & cheese empanada and Spanish omelette - both really yummy & great for a quick snack if you're in a rush. Service was fast and there was no line, likely because it was a Saturday night flight. read more

This is for the D7 location. $10 for a "tuna baguette." It's been awhile since I tasted cardboard, cold cardboard. Not even some mayonnaise, which I swore off years ago, helped put some flavor in the food. Thanks to Cafe V, I once again know the pleasure of not having to eat this type of food on a regular basis. Who knows, maybe all their other food is really tasty. I'll have to wait on other fellow travelers because I feel like I took one for the team and now it's someone else's turn in the breach. read more
