We got a few things: bagel bomb, cinnamon roll, brown sugar cookie, and donut. My only regret was not getting more things, like the amazing looking croissants. Bagel bomb was actually unreal. An everything bagel stuffed with an incredible shallot cream cheese. It was one of the best bfast items I have ever had. The cinnamon roll was insanely good. So soft, so moist, so delicious. The cookie was perfect. Texture was perfect, flavor was delicious. And the donut(how they did this I don't know) was also incredible. Better donut than most donut shops I've been to. One of the fluffiest, most perfectly textured donuts I've had. This place, simply put, is one of the best bakeries I've been to. The people were also incredibly nice. Please run.. don't walk.. to try this place! You will not be disappointed. Thanks!

Finally got a chance to stop by here and I regret not visiting sooner…read more Pros: - charming and cozy space with seating both indoors and outdoors - nice assortment of baked goods and it sounds like they switch up their offerings regularly. The cruffin was delicious and well worth the calories - local family-owned business Cons: - it would be helpful to have signs and prices for the items. I imagine it would speed things up if the staff didn't have to answer those sorts of questions repeatedly. - the staff were helpful but not very warm. - the matcha latte was the worst I've had in recent memory. Watered down and bitter. Not sure if the person making it messed it up or their matcha quality is poor, but it was a waste of $6. Overall, I feel lucky we live close by and look forward to visiting again.

I got a curry chicken croissant and my sister got a tuna one. Cost vs sandwich is middle of the road In my opinion the tuna was better than the chicken curry - the tuna as well as the curry was cold in the center but near the edges was warm. Not sure if it was supposed to be warm but probably would have been better that way. If I come back it would be to try out all the sweets and maybe a different style of coffee. The lavender latte and hazelnut lattes were ok. The coffee was not that strong

It wasn't until yesterday that I went to the shop with her to see for myself. From the outside, you see a house and there are three shops inside. The Uptown Tea Shop is in a medium size bedroom which has been converted to a little store. Here against the walls are nearly every flavor and types of loose leaf teas you can imagine. I typically like herbal teas and caffeine free teas and finding something new was fairly easy. There are also tea accessories such as canisters to keep your teas fresh. The prices I found to be inline with the quality of the teas. The customer service associate was polite, helpful and welcoming; needless to say I will be supporting this small business in the future.

I've been visiting for the last 2 years, and recently, there seems to have been an ownership change. I assure you, they still serve up the same delicious high-qaulity baked goods. It's always an amazing customer experience and we end up picking up way too many pastries! The spinach pastry, as well as the strawberry and cheese are highly recommended. Flaky, crusty, perfection. If you appreciate baked goods made on site, throughout the day, definitely check out Java. I think going fresh makes all the difference and keeps me coming back for more.

I heard later in the afternoon they have live music and a lot more of a vibe, but honestly it was perfect for my friends and me. They have fishing, a park for kids, games, animals, food, picnic tables, and lots of open space to run around. Very family-oriented and such a nice outdoor experience. We really don't have many places like this in Miami, so I genuinely enjoyed myself. I didn't try the lemonade this time, but I did get an iced coffee and it was delicious. Next time I'm trying the lemonade, it comes in these mini buckets and looked super refreshing with a bunch of flavor options. If I'm not mistaken, parking was free (maybe because it was Sunday), and if you plan to fish, you do need to get a wristband and pay. Don't try to sneak around it because they will come find you pay your dues ;)

Good amount of seating inside (mostly 2-seaters; one larger table reserved for bigger groups). Helpful and friendly staff who were amazing with my little one. You have to try a slice of the basque cheesecake. The plain slice (with no whipped cream or fruit topping) is not overly sweet and the perfect amount of "burnt" & creamy. We also tried the madeleines, which - as the café's name suggests - were on point. And the garlic bagel is a garlic + cream cheese lover's dream. The iced dalgona latte was such a treat. Sweet with a creamy foam and topped with crunchy cookies - very well balanced and delightful to drink. The prices reflect the care and high quality of the products.
