Went to Galipan Bake House in Kendall on my second stop while on a mission to find a good cachito…read more The place is simple but pleasant, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was friendly and polite. I ordered the ham and cheese cachito, and oh my goodness... it instantly took me back to the ones I used to eat as a kid in school in Venezuela. The size was perfect, the flavor was spot on, and even though it was a little greasy, it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, just a normal bakery vibe, but I didn't care. The cachito was that good. I didn't try anything else, so I can't speak for the rest of the menu, but for the cachitos alone, I'd happily drive from Miami Lakes all the way to Kendall again. Solid 9.8/10. If you're looking for an authentic Venezuelan cachito experience, this is the place. Highly recommend!

This isn't my first review, I've been here plenty of times. But today I finally tried the guava and…read morecheese pastry. I've always seen it, just never ordered it because I figured it was "just" guava and cheese. Big mistake. This is hands down one of the best guava and cheese pastries I've ever had, and I grew up eating these. Perfect balance, not overly sweet, and just done right. I had to come on here and say something. Definitely don't skip it.

Their teas come in huge bowl-size cups that weigh too much for one hand -- definitely enough to last you throughout a 2-hour catch-up with friends, lol! The ambiance is serene, and has a tall shelf stocked with books for all you bookworms out there (like me). The service was over the top too. Definitely deserves a do-over :)

So I looked up something healthy near me and somehow landed on The Avalon Miami... and WOW, what a find. I was craving waffles, so I had to go for the protein waffle--and the best part is you get to pick 4 toppings. I chose banana, strawberry, Nutella, and peanut butter... OMG. Absolutely incredible. Like, next-level delicious. I'm not exaggerating when I say I was literally doing a happy dance while eating it. My boyfriend went for the organic empanadas--one beef and like three cheese ones--and he was OBSESSED with the cheese. The dough is made from yuca, and that combo? Straight up dangerous. So good it should come with a warning. We also got two protein smoothies, both with 24g of protein. The Avalon mocha had an espresso shot with chocolate protein--rich, smooth, and honestly perfect. The Tropical Twist was mango, pineapple, coconut, and vanilla protein... super refreshing, light, and very tropical vibes. I genuinely can't even put into words how good everything tasted. It's one of those places where you go thinking "healthy option" and leave like "wait... why is this better than dessert??" 1000% coming back.

The decor is pretty awesome, I'll include some pics that I snapped. The wine and apps were delicious . The Charcuterie board is surprisingly large, not the tiny boards you see in other restaurants.

Inside, they have table seating and ottoman seating, and they also have outside seating. The coffee and salmon bagel were delicious! I had their Blueberry Lavender coffee (a seasonal flavor), and I absolutely loved it! It made me want to drink more blueberry flavored coffee. But, the best part of this place is its staff and cause. The staff is super friendly and kind. Additionally, the place is neurodivergent positive, and I always love supporting a local place that supports creating safe spaces for all. I will definitely be back!!

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.

Following the soup, I had the tostones cups with lechon and WOW the flavors were truly, truly amazing. The pork chop chucks were well seasoned and hit the spot. Black beans and rice -- again, great. Pan con bistec was decent. The bread was just a little too hard but still good. And the coffee was dark and sweet just how I like it.
