    Cute seating area
    Melodie M.

    This cafe is so cute! Selfie wall, treats, sips, free wifi, and a ton of seating make this a perfect work from cafe spot, and I will definitely return. Love that the empanadas are embossed with the monada name. They had a decent amount of cookies and pastries left at almost closing time, and the cookies looked large and gooey! SO many cute tables and chairs outside, a long bar with stools facing the big window, and more nooks, couches, and tables and chairs inside. So many options! Love the decor, service was awesome and friendly. Can't wait to return!

    Airy space!

    I'm back after about a year away. These folks are better than ever, having dialed in their barista skills.

    The food was incredible, the drinks were incredible, and the staff was so sweet! They also had several GF options, including a GF coffee cake, if you need/prefer that. My tropical fruit smoothie was divine, and I appreciated the giant straw! The croissants are flaky and buttery and went perfectly as a breakfast sandwich. The entire place had an adorable vibe and was also super clean. 10/10 would recommend stopping in here for breakfast or a treat if you are in the area.

    Cuban panini

    I tried this place for the first time and I personally did not like it. I order a ham coquettes and they were a bit soggy. The chicken panini was not a panini and the chicken was flavorless and dry. The Cuban panini and ham croissant was good.The price was not reasonable the chicken panini was 14.99 with no side or drink included the Cuba was 13.99.Overall, I will just get the breakfast items next time because that is what they seem to excel in. Additionally the service was good.

    Cute place

    A Latin cafe, east of the railroad tracks, is a killer idea. Julius Meinl coffee? Even better. The case, with empanadas, and the menu of Latin sandwiches, looks amazing. What comes out? Espresso that, with an improperly calibrated machine, is off. The meat in the Pan Con Bistec sandwich is under-seasoned, and the whole sandwich is unfortunately bland. The bread is good on crunch, but just lackluster on texture. No chifles (plantain chips), but Cape Cod "reduced fat" potato chips? The chef is Colombian, I'm told. Maybe it is British Columbia? They're going to have to figure out TONE. Don't do Latin half-heartedly. Be Latin and proud, in a neighborhood which just got a Delicias Cuban Bakery three blocks away, at the Chevron station up the street. You can go more Wonder Bread with inoffensive muffins and American sandwiches. This place needs to find its center. It's soul. Is it terrible? No. Is it terribly good? No. It's earnest, but it lacks passion. Lots of restaurants can get by without much energy in their food. We are a nation of grazers. Location, though, becomes a problem. Located closer to the always-promised opening of the long-shuttered Gulfstream Hotel, in a building which doesn't make its retail stand out, street side, the very location demands that A-game food that will turn it into a destination. I hope that they can find a way to kick it up a notch. They're very nice people. I would love to love this place more. Right now, it's won't thrill ya, won't kill ya. That's not enough to make me hunt down parking around that building.

    Ham croquetes
    Luis C.

    Stopped here for a quick snack while on a bike ride and really like the atmosphere of this place. It's cute, modern, very clean and has a good range of selection when it come to food. I decided to try the ham croquetes and they were light, fresh and delicious. I love a place that makes this little delight fresh! I'll definitely be coming back to try some of the other dished. The sandwich selection looks amazing!

    We loved this little place. There are tables outside and a few inside. Very clean. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I had a great cup Of coffee and a guava and cheese croissant. Delish.

    Mochachino and iced cold brew

    Always happy with our visit! If you're spending the day at the beach stop for a smoothie, an ice coffee, or açaí bowl! Today I got the veggie omlet for breakfast and my husband got the turkey and egg bagel sandwich and oh YUM! Please come support this adorable cafe and small business. The staff is always happy to great and serve.

    Amazing cute cafe! Great atmosphere! Peruvian owners and amazing staff. Fresh food! Smoothies are the best I've had and amazing coffee! 100% recommend this place

    Monada Café
    Gloria G.

    Monada Cafe is a local gem! It's a cafe conveniently located on the east end of Lake Ave on the way to the beach. It's new, bright, and clean with a hip vibe. The sun streams in while chill music plays in the background. You can get a variety of pastries as well as my favorite, avocado toast with perfectly poached eggs. The owners are South American so there is a Latin flavor to the menu and an excellent café con leche! If you're in the area (or even if not) go and support this local treasure.

An Italian sandwich is only as good as the bread, and unfortunately neither of us could enjoy ours. My husband ordered the same sandwich and felt exactly the same way. I expected fresh ingredients and much better quality. It honestly tasted like the bread had been sitting around for days. After a few bites, we gave up because it just wasn't enjoyable. I decided to try a new local spot instead of my usual go-to, and I definitely regret it. Deluca's Italian Kitchen has consistently delivered fresh, delicious sandwiches and has never disappointed me. Not sure why I decided to switch things up this time. Unfortunately, I won't be ordering from this restaurant again.

There were so many good choices on the menu that intrigued me (including the steak bomb, buff chic, and italian) but OF COURSE I had to try their beef carpaccio sub... it is truly life changing. Fresh crusty baguette, delicious tasty beef carpaccio, fried onion strings with balsamic??? it is just outstanding. In my opinion, it is worth it to get the boxed lunch. IT came with a ginger lemonade, fresh kettle chips, and a delicious chocolate chip cookie with sea salt. omg. and of course a pickle too. This place is just next level. I cant wait to try the shop in the Gables and to also try some different sandwiches on the menu. Pro tip: place your order ahead of time because it will take about 20 minutes for them to make the sandwich.

Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. It was mediocre at best and honestly felt more on par with something you'd get at Olive Garden than at a restaurant with this kind of vibe and price point. On top of that, the service was quite slow, which made the overall experience feel even more underwhelming. If you're going for drinks, music, and ambiance, it may be worth a visit. But if you're expecting the food and service to match the atmosphere, it falls short.

This was definitely a one and done because there was nothing special about this place. DO NOT ORDER A SALAD because it only comes with 3 small cucumber slices, 2 green pepper slices, onions, and 4 tiny tomato slices for $13.99. If you want the other toppings that come on a sub, there is individually a $.75 upcharge for sweet peppers, hot peppers, pickles, and jalapenos. If I had known before I ordered, I would have just gotten the sub that was the same price as my "sub in a tub" (no bread). My salad was just boring and not TOTALLY AWESOME! I ordered my Chef Salad to go and when I got home, it was missing the turkey and the roast beef was only half of a slice. Less than 3 oz. of meat on the whole salad.

Totally Awesome Subs has been serving up fresh and delicious subs and salads since 2011. Totally Awesome Subs has a classic rock theme.. There are rock music posters and collectibles on the walls and music playing throughout the cafe. There are a number of tables if you want to eat in or you can take your meal to go as I did. All of the subs and salads are made with high quality meat and cheese, locally sourced produce, and fresh baked bread. The menu includes cold subs and wraps, hot subs including their signature subs, fresh salads, soups, and snacks. Feel free to customize your meal to your taste. I decided on the 8 inch Italian sub with ham, capicola, Genoa salami, and provolone. All subs come with lettuce, tomato, onion, sweet and hot peppers, oil vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano, mayo, and mustard. Any other toppings are an additional price. I loved that they sliced the meet fresh for my sandwich and the bread was fresh. I took my sub to go to enjoy at a nearby park but I felt welcome to dine in. I found both the price and service to be satisfactory at Totally Awesome Subs. I would stop in again if I was in Greenacres and in need of a quality and budget friendly lunch.

However, I don't think it's ideal for catching up with friends because the music (which selection -wise was excellent) could get quite loud. We didn't order any apps, so I can't speak on those. I did enjoy my cocktail (a tequila and mezcal concoction ) but forgot the name. I split the tamarind short ribs and the OTC Caesar salad with a friend. I thought both choices were good, but did not taste the tamarind flavor at all and the short ribs portion was small for the price. The salad had a kick because of the scotch bonnets and tear drop peppers, and I loved the use of bread fruit for croutons; it was an interesting spin on a Caesar salad. There is a Caribbean influence in the entire menu, a nod to the owner's origins. We finished with the carrot cake which was delicious and big enough to split between our group of three. As for service , I give them 5 stars. Very warm and attentive staff who checked on us often. I would come back here to enjoy another evening :)
