I especially loved adding the vanilla wafer cookie to my coffee. We tried both the chicken and beef empanadas. Both were good, but we both agreed the beef empanadas were the standout. The flan was also delicious and definitely worth ordering. The staff were friendly and welcoming each time we visited. One thing I'd note for first-time visitors is that it seems easiest to order at the register, especially when things get busy and there's a lot going on. Great coffee, great food, and a place we'll continue coming back to whenever we're in Miami.

I ordered an iced coffee with pistachio cold foam and let me just say... this coffee did not come to play. Strong, smooth, perfectly balanced, by far one of the best coffees I've had in a whileeee. The kind that has you singing karaoke in the car afterward and feeling like life is good again. The vibe inside is super cute cozy but stylish, with plants, pastries on display, and just enough buzz to feel alive without being chaotic. It's also dog-friendly, which automatically earns bonus points. Henry absolutely loved it and felt very included . Bonus bonus: it's right by Edgewater, so you can grab your coffee and take a little walk by the water afterward to catch the breeze. Truly an ideal Miami morning. Amazing coffee, great energy, strong culture, and a space that feels both local and special. Magdalena is officially on repeat.

I'm not usually picky about eggs at all, but these were undercooked, actually ended up leaving most of them, which is rare for me. The bread came out dry too, no butter, no oil, had to ask for it separately, which shouldn't even be a thing at this price point. Overall, just a very mediocre breakfast for something that ended up being around $20+. The pastries actually looked really good, but I didn't have any more funds to try them after already spending that much on eggs and a coffee. Only thing that saved it a bit was the coffee, it was good but very disappointed on paying that much for the breakfast I had. Not the worst meal I've had, but definitely not worth what I paid.

I tried the guava lemonade, which was a little too sour for me, but they were kind enough to let me add a flavored tea, and it completely transformed it. So refreshing and delicious! The cheddar scone was fabulous. It was such an interesting combination, it reminded me of cornbread and a buttery biscuit had a baby. I kept thinking it would be AMAZING with jalapeños, which for some reason I was really hoping it had! Just throwing that out there guys! Of course, I had to try Martha Stewart's caramel chocolate chip cookie and a traditional chocolate chip cookie. Everything was delicious. I actually ended up running into an old friend of my husband's, and we sat there enjoying tea and cookies, which made the experience even better. The second time, I ordered delivery and absolutely went CRAZY. I got the pistachio cream chocolate croissant, and I can confidently say this is my favorite item. I NEED MORE. I'm seriously trying to figure out if there's a way to order these online and have them shipped to the West Coast because I'm already craving another one! I also tried the orange muffin with pecans on top, and it was incredibly fluffy, moist, and delightful. And let me be very clear: Martha Stewart's caramel chocolate chip cookie might be my favorite cookie in the whole wide world. I am BANANAS over this cookie. I SUPER, SUPER, SUPER DUPER recommend Maman! If you're in the area, grab some treats and take a walk around the neighborhood. It makes for the perfect combination of getting your steps in while enjoying something delicious. Definitely a must-visit!

As he was talking to me, he kept typing and looking back at his phone. Not a great first impression of the service, but the food runners were very sweet! I ordered the coconut water matcha and it was really delicious. Slightly sweet, matcha was smooth, and the perfect amount of ice. I also ordered the quiche sofia which has leeks. It took about ~15 minutes to come out. I was hoping that it was because they were warming it up, but when it arrived it had an awful mix of warm and cold spots. Kind of like when you microwave something and it doesn't heat all the way through. It tasted great, but for the amount of time I waited for it, I expected it to at least be warmed through. I'm a huge fan of Martha Stewart, and I would've been interested to return to try her collab menu items but it feels as if in this location, not everyone cares about providing great service. Luckily for me, Wynwood has a ton of other of cafés so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything if I don't return.

There is absolutely nothing touristy or manufactured about it. Stainless-steel tables, red plastic baskets, a busy counter, family photos covering the walls and a dining room full of people who clearly come here all the time. And the sandwiches are HUGE. Enriqueta's, opened in 1964, is best known for its Cubano and pan con bistec, but Rachel and I shared a medianoche, a tortilla con chorizo y queso and something called the "Super Cheese" with bacon. That last one is basically an enormous griddled pile of bacon and molten cheese barely contained by Cuban bread. I also grabbed some empanadas to take on the plane. The tortilla was beautifully browned, packed with chorizo and cheese, and substantial enough to be a meal by itself. The medianoche had the proper soft, slightly sweet bread, pressed crisp around a serious amount of pork, ham, Swiss, mustard and pickles. Nothing dainty happening here. The iced café con leche is also extremely strong. I will not be falling asleep on the flight out. Best of all, we got to meet the boss herself, Lucia Plá, the beloved matriarch on Saturday morning, greeting customers. Her husband, who bought the diner in 2000, Jose Luis, passed in 2019. This is the classic Cuban diner experience--a completely different vibe from Versailles or La Carreta. Smaller, more personal and much more like Puerto Sagua: a real neighborhood restaurant serving real people, with no interest in becoming a theme park version of itself. I'll definitely be back.

It had almost a 5 star rating on Google and yelp and we were already walking around Wynwood, so we gave it a shot.

The interior is beautiful, I loved the painted cafeteras hanging from the ceiling and the beautiful cigar area was a nice touch! However, my son and I split a burger and it was not only very undercooked (we ate it anyway and dreading that decision) but it was a tiny piece of meat for the amount of bread. I mean I should know better than to order a burger at a Cuban restaurant but their dish options were already very limited and feeding a 9 year old boy, well burger it is. We also got the ham croquettes. Not sure if I got the wrong ones but they tasted more of cheese than any ham. I'm going to assume they gave me the wrong croquettes but it was mostly cheese and while a good flavor, not at all what I expected. Not to mention, for just the 2 of us they add a 20% gratuity that isn't mentioned at first and hardly assumed for a party of 2. But, that's Miami for ya! For the kindness of the servers, I'd give 5 stars but because the food was not what I expected at all, it's 3 stars for us.
