Rice, beans,  plantain, chicken,  salad, 2 pastries. It was a random too good to go app closing special. This was so good.
Heather M.

I live half a block away and have walked by every day since they opened. I never went thinking it was probably another tourist trap with high prices and low quality food. It is not. It's good food with good prices and good quantities. I went in because I saw a special on too good to go. (A random plate at closing, they choose what you eat) for $5 and figured I'd try it. I took a photo of what I got and I'm super happy. I'll definitely be back to get the app deal platter and to get breakfast/ lunch

Where else can you get a champagne with guanábana juice?! Yummmmm
Gigi S.

Fine sized breakfast with attentive service and bakery. As we munched my attention shifted over to a baby iguana making its way down a planter to nestle within the greenery. Nearly undetectable, others found interest in what we might be so amused with asked us to point the little guy out, he was beautiful. Let's not allow a rogue baby iguana to take away from the fact that my server made me a mimosa with delicious fresh guayabana juice!

Salmon
Joseane R.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The salmon meal was incredible -- fresh and flavorful. I definitely recommend it if you're around Miami Beach.

Iced latte, pastry in bag
Ashley R.

Stopped her for breakfast one morning and our sandwich, pastry, and iced lattes were fabulous! Their lunch options looked super affordable and fresh too! Super clean, if in Miami again I'll be back!

1. Avocado & Egg Toast
Katie O.

This is a must go place! I'm still dreaming about the avo toast and egg! The red pepper comes on the side so you can spice it up if you'd like. It was such good flavor and kept me full! They don't have coffee flavors but the plain coffee with milk was really good! The staff was friendly and the place is small but well decorated with a few barstools if you wanted to eat there. It's also a great location a few blocks from the beach

the menu of the restaurant

My boyfriend and I were staying at a hotel nearby and woke up craving something fresh for breakfast. We found this place on Yelp and decided to head over to get a smoothie. We arrived to find a small shop that offered even more than just smoothies. They have juice, acai bowls, breakfast sandwiches, croissants, all types of coffee drinks, and more. I ordered a #15 which is a green smoothie that includes spinach, kale, orange, mango, ginger, and apple. It was really fresh and easy to drink. I liked it. My boyfriend ended up coming back on another day to get a breakfast sandwich. However, he wasn't very impressed. Overall this spot was pretty good. I would stick to the smoothies and juice though. That seems to be what they specialize in. Happy eating!

Cuban Sandwich with an Iced Coffee
Andres C.

So of course when in Miami, the first thing I needed was an authentic Cuban sandwich and I had to pair it with an iced coffee. I stood near the strip on south beach (The Clevelander to be exact) and I Googled the nearest Cuban restaurants to see where I could pick up a cuban sandwich. Cuba Cafe came up and it had good reviews, so I decided to give it a shot and surely wasn't disappointed. The cafe is a small shop but don't be fooled. Upon arriving I received a warm welcome from Esmeralda and she treated me as if I had been there numerous times. Her hospitality won me over before even trying the food, which I will add was great. As with all businesses, customer service is a huge deal and she truly understood that. The sandwich was delicious and the iced coffee, which she prepared with Cuban espresso shots, was the icing to the cake. I came to this cafe the final two days of my trip and I surely wish I would've known earlier because I would've stopped here everyday for either breakfast or an iced coffee during the day. Definitely give it a shot and say hello to Esmeralda while you're there!

Deliciousness! Pastries and Empanadas were rocking good. The Cuban expresso was on point. Nice place to drop in on for a treat.

Super filling. Everything I had was really good and the people were great. It is a bit small so I suggest getting food to go!

The fruit smoothies are nice but I didn't like the #15 and the woman at the counter didn't care to help me at all. Kinda rude.

Finally made my way down to Miami Beach to try SunLife Organics…read more My first impression is "WOW! This place is going to be expensive " If you've seen a lot of my reviews and check-ins, you've seen that I love me a smoothie, and frequently visit my local Tropical Smoothie Cafe. When I did research for the best dupe for the Erwohn "Hailey Beiber Smoothie" this came up on top! So I had to put this on my "Must Visit" list. As you can see from the pictures, it looks just like it. Now, I live in Florida and haven't been to LA yet to try the famous smoothie, so I have no idea what it tastes like, but what I can say is that this one TASTED AMAZING! I added a photo of the menu and the ingredients of the smoothie below and it tasted so interesting, healthy, and delicious. It was sweet because of the added coconut cream and the dragon fruit pieces. The service was really good, the employee was very nice. The one thing we all hate about going to Miami Beach is that they ask for an additional tip for EVERYTHING. So beware. My order total was $38 for a smoothie and an Acai Bowl. ($20 for the smoothie and $15 for the bowl plus tax) Absolutely insane prices. I did love the layout of this "cafe" they have merch, protein bars, and extra powder additives that you could purchase. Overall, I'm giving it a 5-star review, because it really is "Worth the Hype!"

Love the fresh and healthy food here. Avo is another gem of a restaurant that does not use seed…read moreoils. And you can get wild-caught branzino served with the healthiest, most delicious lentils and quinoa. In fact that power bowl combo is my favorite and I order it every time. I recently also tried their grass fed and finished beef brochette and filet mignon and I gotta say while the filet mignon was great, the beef brochette was chef's kiss. Seating at this location is limited and they are always super busy. Order in advance for takeout. Street parking only, which can be hard to find sometimes. I would be here every day, but all their locations are too far from me. Please open a location in Aventura!!

Unbelievably bad. I live down the street and have eaten here a couple of times before--it was never…read moregreat, but it was fine. Last night, it was not fine. Three of us went for dinner. One ordered a grilled tofu dish, one ordered salmon, and I ordered fettuccine in creamy basil sauce. The tofu arrived burnt on the outside and soaking wet and way too soggy inside, so it was sent back with the promise that it would be replaced. Spoiler: it never came back. The salmon was also oddly wet, with a distinctly unpleasant look and taste. My fettuccine was somehow also waterlogged and over-soft, and clearly had been sitting in water for far too long. No al dente here. As for the basil sauce, there was absolutely no flavor. None at all in the noodles or in the sauce, just flavorless watery mush. I don't remember another food that had absolutely no flavor. I tried to get chili flakes or anything to rescue it, but couldn't get anyone's attention and eventually just stopped eating. We tried to make the best of it, but between the missing tofu, the mediocre-to-bad food, and inattentive service, we gave up. To top it off, a 20% tip was added automatically without asking. (Note: this is not a full-service restaurant - customers wait in line to order, find a seat, they bring the food and set it down, and that's it.) The bill for this experience was $93. I'm giving two stars only because I didn't see any critters crawling around--my personal threshold for one star.
