As u can see NO FOAM , not even on the inner layer , cause the steps of a colada wasn't respected .

I visited this establishment specifically to order a traditional Cuban colada. Before purchasing, I spoke directly with the owner and asked if they made authentic Cuban coladas. He confidently confirmed that they did. I then specifically asked whether they prepared it with espuma (the sweet foam created by whipping the first drops of espresso with sugar), which is the defining characteristic of a proper Cuban colada. Once again, he assured me that they did. Unfortunately, what I received was not a colada. The employee prepared what was essentially black coffee with sugar added afterward. There was no espuma, no proper preparation process, and very little sugar, leaving the coffee noticeably bitter. After tasting it, I remained at the counter because I knew immediately that this was not what I had ordered. The owner noticed I was still waiting and asked what was wrong. I explained that the drink was not a colada and that it lacked the proper preparation. Rather than acknowledging the issue, he began explaining that his family previously owned the business and now he runs it. When I asked whether he was Cuban, because I was genuinely surprised by his understanding of such a basic Cuban coffee preparation, he responded that it doesn't matter whether sugar is added before or after because "it's the same thing." It is not the same thing. Anyone familiar with Cuban coffee knows that a colada is not simply coffee with sugar. The espuma is created by whipping sugar with the first concentrated drops of espresso before combining it with the remaining coffee. This process creates the signature flavor, texture, and presentation that distinguish a Cuban colada from ordinary sweetened coffee. What disappointed me most was not the poorly prepared drink--it was being told that an incorrectly made coffee was somehow the authentic version. If a business advertises Cuban coffee and claims to serve coladas, the staff and ownership should understand the basic preparation of one of the most iconic beverages in Cuban culture. For anyone unfamiliar with the proper process: 1. Brew strong Cuban espresso. 2. Pour the first few drops of espresso into a cup containing sugar. 3. Vigorously whip the sugar and espresso together until a light caramel-colored espuma forms. 4. Slowly add the remaining espresso while preserving the foam. 5. Serve as a colada. What I received was simply coffee with sugar added afterward and presented as a colada. Those are not the same thing. If you're looking for an authentic Cuban colada prepared traditionally, this was not my experience. Plus I added a second reference for you sir , A colada is a traditional, large-format Cuban espresso designed for sharing. It is made by brewing dark-roast espresso directly into a small amount of sugar, creating a thick, caramel-colored sweet foam called espuma. Served in a large cup with small plastic thimbles, it is meant to be passed around and sipped as quick shots.Follow these steps to make a traditional colada:What You'll NeedEspresso Maker: A standard Moka pot (cafetera)Coffee: Finely ground dark-roast coffee (e.g., Café Bustelo, La Llave)Sugar: 1 to 3 tablespoons of granulated white sugar or brown sugar (to taste)Equipment: A small mixing pitcher, a spoon, and a stack of small demitasse or plastic thimble cupsStep-by-Step InstructionsBrew the Coffee: Fill the bottom chamber of your Moka pot with water, just below the safety valve. Fill the metal funnel with your coffee grounds, leveling them off gently without over-packing. Screw the top on tightly and place it on the stove over medium heat.Prepare the Sugar: While the coffee is heating, add your sugar into a separate, heat-safe cup or metal pitcher.Catch the First Drops: Watch the top chamber of your Moka pot closely. As soon as the very first, thick, dark drops of coffee begin to emerge, pour about 1 teaspoon of this concentrated liquid directly into your sugar.Whip the Espuma: Vigorously whisk or beat the sugar and coffee drops together with a spoon for about 1 to 2 minutes. Keep whisking until it transforms into a pale, thick, peanut-butter-like paste.Combine: Once the rest of the coffee has finished brewing, remove the Moka pot from the heat. Slowly pour the hot coffee into your whipped sugar paste while stirring gently. The sweet foam (espuma) will rise to the top.How to ServePour the colada into your small sharing cups, leaving a nice layer of the sweet foam at the top of each serving.

Good local Cuban spot. I love the breakfast, pastelitos, & coffee here. It's family owned & operated. Everyone is really nice, & the food is freshly prepared daily. Highly reccomended if you're in the Miami shores/north Miami area.

Menu

I was recommended Goodway Coffee Shop from a friend. It's a mom and pop shop and it's always busy when I come. I definitely recommend calling in your order. Their cafe con leche and tostados are authentic. The owners are hustlers and very nice people. They remember everyone's order! I can't recommend this place enough! Keep up the good work :)

Tostada, BLT, fresh squeezed orange juice, and cafe con leche

After coming here recently for a Yelp event, I very quickly came back with my husband in tow! We…read morewere sat immediately and Maday was a fantastic server - helping us order of coffee and a cookie croissant almost immediately! I tried the pistachio latte, which was delicious - it wasn't too sweet, but the pistachio creme and actual nuts added some fun to the beverage. The cookie croissant, warmed up, was decadent and such a crazy sweet treat to start the meal. I opted for the Israeli breakfast - it was just hearty and everything was so fresh and flavorful. 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!

He was our server and he was a real pleasure. He recommended the Pancakes which were the best I've had and I travel often. Then we ordered the side order of short ribs. They' were tender and full of flavor. Also ordered the Asian Salad. Not a huge fan of it because of the Kale but overall the components were tasty and the dressing was amazing. Lastly, the strawberry matcha was amazing! The right balance of sweetness. This is a great place to visit especially if you're like us and needed to kill some time before the cruise allows for embarkation. Outside was clean and the rest room was also cleans.

I ordered the Truffle Bun with Avocado, and I have to say, it was really good. The Flat White was also good. My friends had the Guava & Cheese Danish and the Salmon Eggs Benedict, and everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I would give 3 stars for the food and the nice outdoor seating. It had just rained, so sitting outside was actually really pleasant--not too hot or humid. The other 2 stars I'm taking off are for the service. The servers never really smiled and seemed like they didn't want to be there. We honestly felt like we were bothering them whenever we asked for something. Maybe they were just having an off day, but a little friendliness would have made a big difference. The food was good and the place itself was nice. I just wish the servers were a little more welcoming and pleasant.

When we walked into the restaurant, I immediately recognized how cute everything was. There's a lot of pink and girly colors. I wanted one of everything on the menu but instead settled for oreo pancakes, breakfast tacos, and La Gringa burger. There was not one item that disappointed me even a little bit. My first bite was of the Oreo pancakes and Oh.My.Gosh. I couldn't even believe that was happening that I was eating the most amazing pancake in the world. The pancakes were super fluffy and somehow tasted like there was butter throughout the cake itself. It did not need any syrup. The Oreo flavor was bursting throughout the pancake. The whipped cream was homemade. To die for. Then there were the breakfast tacos which were delicious having eggs and chorizo out of a pancake, are you kidding me? The chipotle sauce was awesome. Unfortunately, I could not get to the fries but the burger was amazing too. The bacon was super crispy and the meat was tender and the bun was soft but a little crispy around the edges.

Yes I know bacon is supposed to be fatty, but this was another level. Again, the service was great, however food was subpar.
