La Boulangerie locations have been popping all over Miami and we decided to have a brunch at their South Miami location. We were seated in a booth and our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about all the most popular food items. We ordered a Prosciutto and Mozzarella baguette sandwich and their egg omelette with a croissant. The sandwich was delicious with a toasted and crunchy bread and the meats and cheese were very fresh. But the star of the show was the delicate omelette that was stuffed with tomatoes, potatoes, and artichokes. Those combinations gave it a solid flavor, while the croissant was home made and went well with the dish. La Boulangerie's quality food and ambience makes you feel like you are relaxing in a Parisian cafe.

The service was unbelievably poor from start to finish. My cappuccino arrived after 25 minutes and was completely cold, as if it had been sitting on the counter for a long time. When I took it back inside, the cashier gave me a dirty look and offered only a brief apology. The problems continued. I was charged for soup but waited 45 minutes without receiving it. After I went inside to ask about it, an employee simply said, "Sorry, I forgot." The same thing happened with my crepes and ice cream. The plate had clearly been sitting out for a while, and the ice cream had melted into a puddle around the crepes. The açaí bowl was no better. The fruit, especially the strawberries, appeared old and far from fresh. When I asked to speak with the manager, I was told the manager was not on duty. There seemed to be no supervision, no professionalism, and no concern for customer service. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The food quality and service were unacceptable. This restaurant should be ashamed of the way it treats its customers.

The short version: This is one of those places where you are…read moreentirely dependent on the mood of the servers. I've had perfect visits (considering that it IS a Pinecrest bakery) and really awful "I will leave without ordering" visits. The Experience Well... like every other Pinecrest Bakery, generally speaking, the food is a safe bet if you know what you like. If you go for the pre-made options, sometimes it's been in the warmer a while, but it can still be called fresh; and if your order is to be made in the spot, pretty much always is good. But different people on the staff makes your experience a rollercoaster, if you go often and in different shifts. I've been received by a slight sort-of-acknowledgment look by someone who barely rises their head and leaves you hanging (saying nothing) for a few minutes until finally (ignoring me) call someone else "to come to the front because there's people here"; and I've had the loveliest servers treat me like a king and looking happy to serve me... in the same week. On the other hand, I lover their churrasco sandwich, there's nothing quicker to bite than an empanada if you're in a hurry, and, if you get one of the nice servers, take the time to have a sandwich cubano made. Just... be prepared because you never know beforehand if you're going to enjoy your food and service, or you're going to leave hangry after a few minutes of being ignored.

The Cypress Cafe was renovated in 2018. There is ample seating with tables, couches, and even a piano in the dining area. You can order Per'La coffee, soda, water, and light bites at the counter. Bottled water is only $1 and highly recommend you grab one to stay hydrated in the Florida heat while walking around in the garden. I decided on a delicious cappuccino and croissant for my snack. Celia who was working put a lot of time and effort into making my coffee and it was perfection. She is a treasure. My very fresh mini croissants were served warm with an adorable pot of strawberry spread and butter. As you eat and drink the floor to ceiling windows provide a beautiful view of the garden that serves as a lovely backdrop to your meal. It is so nice that the elegant Cypress Cafe is available to provide refreshments while you take in the stunning Pine Crest Gardens.

I love the halloumi cheese, tomatoes and olives in particular. My husband went for the truffle croque madame and it was massive - he had to take half of it home, which he almost never does! Service was quick, without us feeling rushed. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

First off, the service really stood out to me. Everyone was so welcoming, attentive and genuinely nice. I especially loved seeing how much the staff helped each other. You could literally see the teamwork throughout the restaurant, and I love that because it makes such a difference in the overall experience. Everything flowed, the food came out in a timely manner, and we always felt taken care of. We originally sat outside because the patio is adorable, but Miami started Miami-ing and it was just a little too hot for us lol, so we moved inside. They were super accommodating about it. Also, a little warning from your Yelp friend: downtown Miami parking is atrocious if you don't know the area. Save yourself the character development and Uber. Nowwww, the food. I ordered the passionfruit smoothie, pain au chocolat and the steak & eggs. When I tell you the steak & eggs is a REAL meal, come hungry! It's tender short ribs over roasted potatoes with two sunny-side-up eggs, cilantro dressing and a delicious sauce on the side. The short ribs were incredibly soft and tender, almost like a brisket situation, and the portion of meat was HUGE. Honestly, it could easily be shared. I ate about half before my stomach politely told me we were finished and the rest came home with me. The potatoes were delicious, the eggs were cooked perfectly, and I really appreciated all the different flavors in the dish. Everything worked so well together. Definitely not your basic little steak-and-eggs brunch situation. The pain au chocolat was approximately the size of my head... and I have a big head, so please understand the measurements here lol. It was really good! I do wish it had been served warm and had a little more chocolate inside, but I'd absolutely order it again. Next time I'd probably get it by itself with a latte or hot chocolate and have myself a cute little pastry moment. And the passionfruit smoothie? Soooo good. Refreshing, flavorful and not overly sweet, which I appreciated because we don't need all that extra sugar. We have figures to watch around here. My mom really enjoyed herself too, which made the experience even better. Between the food, generous portions, cute atmosphere and especially the service, Café Bastille definitely gave us a reason to come back. Until next brunch... mwah! S/O Jeffrey our wonderful server!

To get your food at the Glasshouse you check out the menu and order at the outside window. They give you one of those plastic squares that vibrate when your food is ready and then pick up your order at the inside window. You can then eat inside or out. It was blazing hot out and the line was long but the staff handled it well and kept the line moving forward. They have a nice variety of sandwiches, salads, soups, drinks, and desserts. Prices are a reasonable $8 to $14 for a sandwich. They even had a board with some specials for museum day. I prefer to eat inside because I love their dining room not to mention the air conditioning. The whole back glass wall of the dining area looks onto the Wings of the Tropics butterfly garden and it's beautiful. While we were eating we got to watch numerous butterflies and we even saw the hummingbird flit around the flowers. The ceiling has a gorgeous Chihuly glass sculpture hanging from it. For lunch we shared the croque-monsieur and the La Basque's club sandwich with grilled chicken and bacon. Both were delicious. For dessert we had one of the large chocolate chip cookies that had three kinds of chocolate in it. All of that plus two sodas came to $28. I love eating at the Glasshouse when I come to visit the gardens. The food is of a higher quality than most attractions and the view is one of my favorites.

The cheezy loaf of bread is great for sharing and the mortadella cochito is by far the best ever.

I am not a fan of places forcing gratuity on me. If it was a sit down and table service establishment please by all means charge me 20% automatically bc that's what I usually give for good service but when I walk into an over the counter order establishment I don't feel like I need to tip to order my food and pay. If I do tip that's on me not the establishment forcing me to pay it. Build that 6% into your prices and I would not care but add it on my bill as gratuity....no thx.
