Wow, we were pleasantly surprised by Cecile!!! This spot is spectacular. And right across the street from sunset place mall. Every single item we ordered tasted fresh and was uniquely different than any other brunch spot. The interior was clean and beautifully adorned with foliage. The service was great. We started off with the Croffle which was so interesting! It was a croissant smashed into a waffle with maple syrup. It tasted AMAZING!! For our main brunch meal, we ordered the breakfast sandwich and the eggs Benedict croissant. Both of us got sides of the potatos. And WOW WOW WOW!!! First of all, the sandwiches were fantastic. Every item tasted extremely fresh. The side of potatoes was way better than expected. These potatoes were topped with sprinkles of cheese and shaped like little teardrops that were hard on the exterior and essentially melted in your mouth!!! I wish I had these potatoes with my breakfast EVERY day. 10/10 experience at Cecile. Definitely recommend it as a brunch spot.
I stumbled upon this little spot by sunset place. There was street parking available which was lovely. It seemed that it was busy at the time we got there but we got seated right away. We didn't really wait long to get our food once we placed our order. The service was great and super fast. The pistachio latte was amazing, you can really get the pistachio essence with every sip. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, the croissant tasted fresh and the bacon was crispy. I really enjoyed everything. My friend had the burger and she really liked it. I will definitely be coming back again, next time to try the French toast!
Love this place!! My friend and I got here around 8:30 a.m. right before the restaurant got packed!! My friend ordered a cappuccino and the garden omelette with the Cecile potatoes, and I ordered the cortado with sugar and the eggs Benedict with bacon instead of ham and the Cecile potaotes. The Cecile potatoes are tiny puffs of fried mashed potatoes which are sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. They are delicious, as is everything here! I was here last week and I ordered the exact same thing, except that I requested the eggs poached hard last time. The eggs Benedict is so good that I can't bring myself to order anything else! Our server was friendly and efficient. We were happy with her service. They have street parking for $3.50 per hour or $6.50 for two hours.
This is a really cute cafe in South Miami that serves French/American brunch foods made with high-quality ingredients and lots of flavor. The menu has a great mix of options for a variety of tastes, and I highly recommend the French Toast for something sweet and Croque Monsieur for something savory - they're both pretty large portions and can definitely be shared with a side! While this is a great spot and I've been back a couple times since first discovering it, I have to knock off one star for the check-in service and drinks: every time I come here, there's either no one at the hostess stand or the girl there has a bad attitude, and the drinks are ridiculously expensive (like almost $5 for drip coffee expensive) and honestly not worth the price. Besides those two knocks, this really is a lovely spot to enjoy a nice meal with friends and family without having to dress up fancy or break the bank. Street parking is plentiful and very cheap, so stop by Cecile's for your next brunch!
Perhaps a brunch/lunch staple in South Miami, Cecile Bakery + Cafe always provides well-made food and friendly service. On this given day, I got the breakfast sandwich with potatoes. The sandwich was good! It got the job done, but to me the real star of the show were the potatoes, which are always so fluffy and warm. A good spot to check out for some French bites!
Went out to eat here with a friend and my little baby. Great experience! The food was delicious and the service was great. Everyone was so nice! The inside was also super nice and they had a good outdoor seating area as well. Would love to come back!
Cecile bakery and cafe is really an excellent breakfast or lunch choice! The food feels really genuinely French; light, fresh, healthy and packed with flavor! I got out of here for $26 with a coffee and breakfast which feels very reasonable for Miami. Don't skip the quiche Lorraine! The service is really excellent here, and the tables stay packed but move quickly so we never have much of a wait time. Definitely a must-try if you are in the area! I have to come back to try some items from the pastry case because WOW!
Didn't take any photos as there are plenty already. The service was excellent. Although pretty packed on a Sunday morning, our party of three was seated promptly. I ordered the eggs with feta and tomato...oh my goodness! They were delicious and a perfect portion accompanied by sour dough toast and their potatoes. This is a wonderful spot for good food and people watching. We will be back!
egg benedict's overcooked, food was not served hot. Hope the rest of the menu is better. I know it was busy and I was seating in outside in the last table but I had to beg to be served so really pour attention too. I wouldn't go back. I just didn't even eat, instead I walked to Maman one block away.
I went to the South Florida Porsche which this year was held on Sunrise Drive right in front of Cecile Bakery + Café. So, as I could see most of the Porsche show from there, I sat down at a table in their outdoor sidewalk patio. Though it was crowded, I got rather quick and polite service. For my meal, I had their Huevos Iberico which consisted of Fried eggs, chorizo, "Brava" sauce, serrano ham, matchstick fries, Manchego cheese, and sourdough toast. The chorizo was of some of the best in flavors I've ever had. Unfortunately, it was of a very skimpy amount. My partner had their Eggs Benedict Croissant which were poached eggs served with smoked ham, Hollandaise sauce, and a homemade flaky croissant sided with house salad. Overall, I was rather pleased with the food and attentive service.
Always love coming to Cecile. It has the perfect brunch vibe and high-quality food + drinks. I love their breakfast sandwich that comes on a croissant. The dessert items are amazing too since they have a bakery and make patisserie items in house. You can tell the food and drinks are made with love

I got the eggs Benedict croissant (the portion felt small for the plate size) and the potatoes. The food was also a little cold. I saw the vision with the potatoes, they were mashed and either fried or baked into dollops; however, they were tragically under seasoned. I had a bite of my friends French toast, it was delicious. I like the concept of the eggs Benedict croissant, I think it was executed well, just wish there was a little more. My main complaint is that my meal was interrupted 5 times, from three different waiters who seemed to really need my plate. I still had a quarter of a croissant left and my potatoes. The servers were just really persistent. Maybe something was blocking the food from their vision. I was just enjoying my meal and my friends company, after the fifth ask I reluctantly allowed them to take my plate. Overall pretty good, I will come again. Hopefully after they get their next plate shipment in. read more

After a doc appt, my wife and I wanted to grab something in the Coral Gables area since we still had time before I picked up my vehicle from the collection. Looking for a new place to try without an overwhelming menu and healthy options. It was about 930am, not crowded, there some people sitting outside and inside. We were immediately greeted at the door and shown a table. Offered water and given menus. Our server came over to get our drink order and gave us time to look over the menu. My wife had mocha latte and I ordered a cappuccino. For entrees my wife ordered the veggie quice with side salad and I got the French toast. It was simple and delicious. I didn't even use the syrup for my French toast. My wife said her food was great and hit the spot. We would definitely come back here again the food and service was outstanding! read more
Found this hidden gem on an early Thursday morning and decided to sit outside and have some breakfast. The waiter was nice and very accommodating with the tables as the sun was coming out and it seemed rather sunny where we sat. He also informed us that they had mimosas so why not. We had one to try. Now I'm not big on Mimosas but this was actually really refreshing. The iced coffee and iced matcha were delicious. Love when places has milk replacements - we were able to substitute for oat milk. If this bakery was not so far from me, I'd get my morning coffee here. The breakfast was amazing. Their version of huevos rancheros (which actual name I can't remember right now) was so tasty. It had the right amount of flavor and egg to cheese ratio. The egg scramble was exactly how I make it at home. No runny, watery scrambles over here! Now the star of the show was the Cecile potatoes. When I say these potatoes melt in your mouth I am not exaggerating. It's like a fluffy potato pillow in the cutest little shape and taste. We were too full to try the pastries but most definitely coming back to try their croissants which looked amazing. read more

I went in for lunch and was seated fairly quickly on a Tuesday. The food also came out pretty promptly and was delicious. I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and an avocado BLT. The menu says that it's spicy, but it's not super spicy at all just a little kick. The restaurant was very clean in it of itself. I would come back only next time just to try the desserts. read more

Solid breakfast restaurant in Sunset area. It was pretty busy for 930am on a Saturday morning. The place was adequately staffed, very clean ans spacious. Outdoor tables are available during the nicer Miami weather. Quick, accurate, and friendly service. The bakery had delicious pastries and decadent desserts. My meal was good -- the bacon was crunchy, eggs were good (1 scrambled egg would've been enough for me) and the bread for my liking should've been toasted a bit more. The tomatoes were fresh -- they were great to add it as a side, even if not offered as an option. read more

Amazing place! The food is outstanding as is the service. Our waiters were super friendly, attentive and helpful. The food is the star of the show, made to order and tastes great. The plating presentations are clean and well done. The quantity of food is just right. We left totally satisfied and eager to try more dishes. A definite must if you're in the area. We will certainly be back soon! read more

Came to Cecile for breakfast with my best friend and her niece. I've heard a lot of good things about this place so I was excited to try it out. We started off with an iced mocha and a capuchino (not pictured). They were both good. I had the breakfast sandwich with a side salad. It was great. Everything tastes fresh. My best friend had the tuna salad sandwich (not pictured). She said the tuna was regular and the croissant tasted freshly baked. The fries were great, perfect blend of crispy and potatoe-y. Her niece had the 2 eggs with toast and salad. She likes her eggs more dry but they looked good. She loved the pancakes. We got them plain without any fruits or chocolate chips. Our service was great. Our waiter was quick and responsive. The place was super cute and clean. Overall good experience. read more
Must try French bakery in South Miami. I have been so good at avoiding bread for several months now, but unfortunately it all ended at Cecile's. Words cannot describe their almond croissant. In my opinion, it's the best almond croissant I've ever had in my short life. The inside is perfectly moist and stuffed with soft almond custard. I cannot get enough of this croissant and it's a problem. Aside from their pastries their breakfast and coffee is pretty tasty. The owner of Cecile is a sweetheart. I asked her what one of the pastries was and what it tasted like and she gave me one for free. That was the sweetest thing ever. read more

Eggs Benedict Croissant is my fave (add smoked salmon) makes it 10x better! I love the potatoes served along with and the chai and matcha lattes are really good. The monkey bread is a hit for me too. I love the ambiance and the service is always pretty quick. read more
The perfect place for a coffee date or study spot! It's super cute inside & they have a good amount of seating! I ordered the Prosciutto Sandwich, it was super yummy, I really liked the bread it came on. I'm very picky about my fries and these were amazing, they were super crispy! I also tried my friends Breakfast Sandwich and I will definitely be ordering that next time I come, the eggs were cooked perfectly & the croissant was so flaky & soft! I will definitely be back to try more menu options & some of their pastries! read more

Stopped in for brunch before going to the movies; I ordered the Salmon Tartine and was pleasantly surprised at how filling it was! Service was pretty good, but they were very busy. We were fortunate to be seated quickly, but you may have a little wait. Beautiful decor; very aesthetic and perfect place to grab a pic for Instagram read more

Absolutely love this place! It's a cute cafe in south Miami and serves great dishes. Today I had the huevos Ibericos which were absolutely delicious. Also tried a bite of the short rib grilled cheese (WOW) and I've previously had the chilaquiles which are GREAT. Staff is always friendly and attentive. I recommend if you're in the area and even if you're not it's worth a drive read more

I was rather disappointed by the coffee at Cecile bakery. I ordered a chia tea latte with an additional espresso shot. It tasted like an American cold brew topped with cinnamon at the top. There was no chai flavor whatsoever. The mocha latte was similar. The topped the drink with dry mocha powder which added no flavor to the drink. Macaroons were good but not good enough to up the rating unfortunately read more

I came here for lunch but I'm not recommending it for lunch. I think it's a better spot for breakfast/brunch. I got a breakfast bowl and it was super clean and kept me full without feeling gross. I also had an iced coffee and my mom had a decaf coffee. She said it was amazing! read more

I went to Breakfast at Ceciles & was surprised that it was so full , but was lucky enough to still get a table from the Girl upfront . Obviously I knew that I was in for a treat just by looking around the room and seeing the delicious pastries and breakfast items. I ended up ordering the Salmon Eggs Benedict & the French toast that comes with strawberries. Everything was delicious and the service was great ! Ps ... You will have to park on the street in a meter read more

A classic breakfast and brunch spot in Coral Gables! Cecile's has food for everyone. Whether you want a morning pick me up lattee, a full on brunch or a quick pastry snack, everything is delicious. The menu ranges for omelets, French toast, yogurt bowls and pastries. Cecile's has both a restaurant spot to hang out in and a walk up pastry and coffee bar for takeout. For the food: French Toast is a popular item and has a vanilla crema on top that is perfectly sweet. The Chocolate Almond croissant is equally FLUFFY and CRISPY. This is a must get snack option. Similarly the drinks and espresso are perfectly creamy, although a bit pricey $6+. Ceclie's is the perfect little breakfast spot, but be mindful of wait times because they fill up on the weekends. Pro Tip: Don't skip out on their fresh baguettes, grab one before you head out! read more

This is such a cute breakfast spot in the heart of South Miami! They have a huge selection of different croissants, French pastries, and breakfast items. The service was great, everyone was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. I ordered the avocado toast which had feta and I added eggs on the side. The avo toast comes with a side, so I decided to try their house potatoes. The potatoes are like a cloud of heaven, it was so fluffy and flavorful. We also had mimosas and the orange juice was freshly squeezed so it was extra delicious. This is the perfect breakfast spot to catch up with friends and enjoy amazing French breakfast food. I definitely recommend this place if you're into croissants and good food of course! read more

This bakery is very nice, they serve: breakfast, lunch and they also have coffee and pastries. It is perfect for afternoon tea or coffe. I love the deciration and ambience. It's definitely a keeper! The Chouquettes are incredible awesome, fluffy in the inside and so addictive...! All desserts are made in house, they also have a full variety of ice cream flavors!!! If you are in the area, pass by and you will probably like it... I love that it feels so cozy! Someone asked me, when I told them about Cecile, Do they have comfortable chairs? Of course they do...!!! They are so comfortable that you want to spend more time there mingling and eating! read more

I had previously placed an order with Cecil using UberEats-- but only for pastries. Since I was in the area I decided to stop in for breakfast and I am so glad I did. The inside dining space was full but we still managed to get seated rather quickly because of their fast service. I decided to try their breakfast croissant with a side of Cecil potatoes with French toast to share and it was so delicious. The Cecil potatoes are crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside pieces of heaven. Must try! So happy to find my new favorite breakfast spot! read more

FOOD WAS EXCELLENT. I had an iced oat milk latte and the avocado toast. I went on a Thursday morning and it was soo hectic. I was looking for a cozy cafe to do some reading, and it's more of a loud high energy vibe. Service is slow due to all of the customers. But the food is worth it so I'll definitely be back. read more

Cecile Bakery and Cafe is a newer addition to South Miami and someplace I can see myself frequenting. If the decor doesn't get you (because it is so pretty... where do y'all get your blue chairs from?!), the food definitely will. There is plenty of seating and a large menu with many options. You can have breakfast, brunch, or lunch; coffee, tea, wine, and beer. On this beautiful day I got the brown rice and lentil bowl with roasted sweet potato, cauliflower, kale, wheat berries, farro, barley, goat cheese, a fried egg, and a slice of sourdough bread. Not only was this yummy and flavorful, it was also very healthy. My friend got the ricotta and smoked salmon on multigrain toast with capers and dill, plus a side house salad. I'm not a huge fan of smoked salmon but Cecile's was delicious. They also have an assortment of baked goods and to-go sandwiches. I ran in a while back and got a quiche which was cooked perfectly. Cecile's has a really good mocha latte that I highly recommend getting with oat milk. read more
I have been wanting to go here for a while. When they had the pick up and go option for quarantine I went for it. The almond croissant was delicious. Such nice packaging as well. I wasn't a big fan of the cold brew though. It is located right next to sunset place. You can't miss it. I'm willing to give the coffee another go :) read more

This cafe is right by sunset place with outdoor and indoor seating. There is street parking right in front of the cafe, but if they're taken, there are nearby lots and parking spots a short walk away. There are large tables for big groups, smaller private tables, and a bar top. I have done work here before on my iPad, but this does seem like more of an eatery-cafe than a study cafe. I've gotten chicken paillard, which was very refreshing with the salad and shaved fennel that they put on the dish. I've also gotten the breakfast croissant sandwich which is very delicious! I recommend getting it with the Cecile potatoes on the side, which are fried Hershey-kids shaped whipped/mashed potatoes. The potatoes have a nice crisp outer shell but are like a warm cloud on the inside that just melts in your mouth. For dessert, I love the ambre-crunchy! You can't go wrong with chocolate and hazelnut, and the dessert definition packs those flavors. There are also many other desserts from macarons, tarts, and gelato. The wait time for food is typically not long, and overall I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a new cafe-type of eatery! read more
