    Iced americano
    Menghai T.

    I got an iced americano and a croissant. Coffee was above average. It took a while to complete the order, one of my drinks from this order was misplaced to the side adding an extra wait. There was a steady crowd for it being a small shop. I'm not particularly impressed or disappointed, it's about mid as you can get. Food: 5.2 Staff/service: 4.4 Overall: 4.8/10

    When we got there it was very crowded but didn't have to wait long for a table (we were seated within 5 minutes) . Got a cafe mocha, which was very good and my husband got an iced coffee. My daughter got a smoothie, which she didn't like but that's just personal preference as I ended up finishing it and it was delicious. She got a pizza panini which she loved and the two adults got omelets. We also got this cream filled cronut which was outstanding! My only issue was the service. While the staff was super friendly and accommodating, it just took forever to get our food and even our drinks. I would have given 4 stars if not for the slow service as my daughter was very hungry and it was rough. The food was very good though and it would not deter me from coming back. Next time we are in surfside we will definitely come again and hopefully service will be quicker.

    Penne Pasta with Pink Sauce
    Erika V.

    It's been a while since my last time here, over a year ago, so it was nice to see some changes in the interiors. It looks a little more modern due to the change of floors and the rearrangement of the tables and counter. It was lunchtime during the weekday so might be a little hectic but service is quick so hopefully you won't have to wait a lot. As mentioned before, you can barely see the name of the place outside but you will recognize it by the big green awning. We started with the Feel Good Salad, this is my favorite salad here. The perfect blend between spring mix, quinoa, chickpeas, some tomatoes and onions, and that delicious balsamic-like dressing, so so good! This is perfect to share! For my main entree, I ordered the Gluten Free Penne Pasta with pink sauce. All pasta is made there so I think that's an amazing point about this restaurant. The serving was way more than what I was expecting and for less than $20. The only thing I didn't like was that the cheese on top didn't seem like fresh Parmesan but more like Kraft Parmesan cheese. One of my friends ordered the Crepes with mushrooms and she was so happy with it, crepes here are delicious! Overall it was good and the server was so sweet. Everybody is so nice here. It is mainly a Jewish restaurant but honestly, they are so welcoming to everyone.

    Cute, hidden spot in Surfside! There is no signage outside for this place so look for the green awning. There is metered street parking in front or there is a metered parking lot behind. We went on a Sunday morning and it was crowded but had a few tables open. We sat near a window and looked over the menu. We got 2 lattes, pancakes, feta omelette and a plain croissant. The lattes came out quickly and then the breakfast items shortly after. I thought the pancakes were kinda small for $9, they were like 3 mini pancake size and adding blueberries +$2. The flavor was good but you would need to order more if you're really hungry. My partners omelette came with salad, potatoes and baguette ($12.50 before 12pm) very delicious and filling. I'm glad I got the extra croissant to fill me up. The croissants are to die for!

    I love the breakfast here. I believe it's $17 you get eggs, potatoes, salad, coffee & fresh squeezed orange juice. The food here is very delicious but unfortunately every-time I've ordered online, I come in at my pick up time and still have to wait another 15-20 minutes /: everyone in store is very nice so I keep coming back but I order online to avoid waiting since I order before my shift starts SO once they figure out time management it'd be a five star review from me. Inside seems clean and is always PACKED with people so I prefer To-go, just wish I didn't have to wait after ordering online !!

    Delicious baguettes

    Overall, decent brunch food but terrible service. We came here for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. Prices are very reasonable. We ordered the famous breakfast which includes eggs, baguette, potatoes, salad and coffee plus orange juice. However, the coffee plus orange juice isn't included after noon which is disappointing and should be noted in the menu. The place wasn't too crowded but it took about 30 minutes to get our food and many were complaining around us that their food was taking a while. Not sure why it took long for a seemingly simple meal. The staff seemed overwhelmed and unenthusiastic, rude to some customers who complained about the wait. They have takeout orders too which may have added to the long wait, but they weren't polite to those dining in waiting a long time. The food itself is good. You get a fair amount and it's a decent breakfast nothing spectacular. The stand out was the baguette, it was very good. The tip is included which may be because people wouldn't leave tips otherwise. If you're willing to wait with some possibly rude service, it's a decent breakfast brunch spot.

    Cafe Vert is an absolute gem in Surfside. It is my favorite lunch/brunch spot. The food is absolutely delicious. I especially love the crepes. I get a sugar crepe with every meal and it is perfect. Nothing too over the top with chocolate and fruit and all that - just sugar and it's that simple kind of delicious. It is a huge bonus that they can make almost everything on their menu to be gluten free. You just have to ask and they will be happy to share with you how they can accommodate a gluten allergy. The owner's wife has been gluten free for many years. You can even order a handmade loaf of gluten free bread. You just have to order the day before to pick up. The people who work at this restaurant are genuine, patient and kind. Amanda is usually my server and she is fantastic. Listen y'all, this is an affordable sit down restaurant in a busy part of town. If you don't have time to sit down and enjoy the experience of dining in, then skip this place. They aren't gonna get you in and out in 20 minutes. These people work their bums off and provide great quality service and even better food!

    Shakshuka w/ baguette and greens smoothie
    Michael L.

    The staff here are not rude, but not welcoming either. Would it be too much of a bother to say welcome or a good morning? They made me feel like I was a burden for walking into their business to try the place for the first time. Long story short, I came here because I had heard good things about this place. The food was okay at best, Kosher friendly yes. I was disappointed no one told me for our party of 2 there would be a service charge included in our bill. I ordered 2 poached eggs in tomatoe sauce w/ toast and a greens smoothie. Grand total was $27... the smoothie was $8 + $14 for my other dish. The rest was for tax and included an undisclosed service charge. It's not the best value for your money, I paid my tab and left the place to try (in my opinion) better alternatives next door. God forbid I show you how far your $27 could go at the places nearby. Please excuse my sarcasm, I wanted to love this place, but found it hard to swallow :(

    Rosetta Bakery - Nutella croissant

    No vabbè, qua ti senti in Italia ma col bel caldo tropicale di Miami!…read more We came to Rosetta bakery for un caffettino ma then we decided we needed to order everything we saw. JK but our eyes really wanted to, especially when I laid eyes on the Nutella croissant section. From delicious paninozzo bello ripieno perfect to take to go and eat at the beach, to delicious pizzette e focaccia, Rosetta Bakery has everything you need for that sweet or savory tooth. We had the best breakfast, tipico Italiano, with nutella croissants, caffè macchiato e caffè, come in Italia. Everything is baked fresh, at the spot and you can see all the hard work through the little glass window. This place makes you feel good and it's food dopamine for your nose and eyes. Can't wait to come here again next time I'm in the area.

I especially like all the freshly baked smells coming from the active bakery onsite. Chocolate Cake: What can make chocolate cake even better? A nutella-like frosting! It really took this to a whole new indulgent level. Apricot Croissant: Why spread jam on your croissant when it comes pre-jammed? A nice amount of tangy apricot jam inside the flaky pastry. A great way to start the day. Pistachio Eclair: Normally I'm a chocolate frosting and vanilla custard guy, but they didn't have that combination. Was pleasantly surprised by the sweet pistachio cream, made it feel very European. Cannoli: A tiny little indulgence of dense sweet cheese inside a not-that-crispy-anymore shell. Potentially made awhile ago; wonder if a fresher one would have had a better crunch. I did like the candied orange peel at one of the ends. Mortadella Sandwich: A simple way to live up the olive roll. A few slices of mortadella to make it meaty and feel kinda fancy European. Ham & Sweet Baguette: Simple and easily transportable to the beach. The baguette tastes fresh, likely made onsite not that long before. It had a good chew. The ham and cheese are just enough protein to make it into a meal. Might have been even better with a little mustard. Mortadella, Cheese, Sun Dried Tomato Sandwich: A nice soft roll with lots of mortadella, some fresh mozzarella and heavy umami sundried (or slow baked?) tomatoes. The addition of those tomatoes really ratcheted up the flavor of the bread, meat, cheese.

    Las Olas Cafe - Cuban sandwich

Located a couple of blocks off a major road (Washington Ave.), Las Olas Cafe felt like a hole-in-the wall neighborhood joint - a team of off-duty police officers were enjoying their dinner inside the restaurant, and families were eagerly lined up at the to-go window outside the restaurant. As I waited in line to order, I perused the menu, which included breakfast items, coffee, and a variety of sandwiches. Even though there were only a couple of customers ahead of me in line, each meal was made-to-order before the next order was taken. This meant that the staff prepared about half a dozen coffees, a couple of smoothies, and several meals before it was my turn to order. When I finally placed my order for a Cubano sandwich, I waited about 20 minutes for my food to be prepared. My sandwich was served piping hot, and I eagerly took my food to go so I could enjoy it at the beach nearby. Despite the wait (about an hour from the time I arrived at the cafe despite the short line), my food was delicious. The sandwich was stuffed with crispy shredded pork and ham, and a generous amount of mustard, melted cheese, and pickles pulled it all together.

The Cubano was stuffed with moist roasted pork and ham with pickles and melted cheese. The spicy garlicky green sauce that comes with it could make an old shoe delicious ! The coffee was spot on and that roasted pork and plantain empanada also hit the proverbial spot. All in with tax and tip for $25 I was stuffed full and now remarkably fluent in Spanish !

The service was very... dry, seemed in a bad mood, employed high pressure selling tactics and was visibly unhappy when we didn't roll with it. The place had the door open and the AC seemed to not be working in Miami's heat that is not great, to boot the drinks were very expensive. The price of the food was offensively high. The pictured tostones (green plantains) were more than 8 dollars. And the few tiny srimp stuffed plantain was more than 11 dollars. The Fried Beef (Vaca frita was reasonably priced at just over $20 considering how expensive beef has gotten. All in all this place serve the real Item when it comes to Cuban food.
