On a recent visit to Miami with another couple, we stumbled upon News Cafe during a Sunday morning stroll down Ocean Drive. We sat outside on the front patio and enjoyed people watching and a lively volleyball game happening across the street. We were greeted with smiles and positive energy. Our server was engaging and kept us entertained. We all enjoyed our meal and the great vibes around us. I highly recommend News Cafe and will definitely return in the near future. read more

The News Stand Cafe is such a cute spot, with fun themed decor throughout the restaurant that gives it a lot of character. Our waiter was extremely nice and helpful, which definitely made the experience better. We started with the mozzarella sticks, which came with a sweet Coca-Cola dipping sauce. The sauce was definitely interesting...very sweet and almost caramel-like. Personally, I'd pass on it and ask for a regular marinara instead. The mozzarella sticks were pretty good otherwise - crispy and great size. For my main, I ordered the classic chicken sandwich, which was recommended by our waiter. Unfortunately, it didn't really live up to the recommendation for me. The sweet heat flavor was pretty underwhelming, and the chicken itself could have used more seasoning. The French fries were the best part of the plate. Overall, I didn't love everything I ordered, but I did enjoy the atmosphere and the service. I'd consider coming back and trying something different. read more

Nice spot for breakfast but you gotta set the right expectations like for any restaurant on ocean drive which is highly touristic and busy! Food was ok. The avocado taste was a lil plain in flavor but not bad. OJ was pretty good and service was ok too! read more

Made a reservation for a large group of 8 while in town after a friend shared a video of their Molten Chicken Parm from the prior evening. We had a perfect table on the patio with impeccable people watching. We were sad our meals were not poured on top in front of us but given it was 8 orders it made sense for the magic to happen in the kitchen. Everything was amazing and we all highly recommend! read more

Growing up in South Florida, I spent my whole life coming here. After moving away 15 years ago, I worried it may have lost its touch. I couldn't have been more wrong. Prices remain relatively affordable, ESPECIALLY for south beach. The brunch still holds strong. The lobster toast was SO good, I still dream of it. Ended up having breakfast here with bridesmaids the day before my wedding and everyone loved it. Glad to see a historic spot not only still standing but still doing well! read more

Always a great time at the legendary News Cafe. Friendly staff, chill vibes, beautiful south beach views and off course amazing food & refreshing drinks. read more

Haven't been to a News Cafe in over a decade, but after a quick mini vacay in South beach, and the 20 percent discount offered by the hotel where we were staying right behind them, we couldn't pass it up. Thought I'd be disappointed and it would be just the name hype. But nope. Some of the best burrata ever, and an amazing poke bowl reasonably priced. Not to mention the view. read more

The News Cafe has always held a bit of a mystique for me as the late, great Gianni Versace would walk down for his morning newspaper. When I'm in town, I inevitably find myself drawn to the location and in all fairness, it's the only place you can get a light quiet breakfast. It's reasonably priced for Miami and still carries its original charm compared to the cookie cutter restaurants that surround it. read more

We have enjoyed breakfast at the News since late 90's. Sad when it closed in the Pandemic and delighted finding it reopened at the same location. Nothing stays the same but Valentines Breakfast today felt great. My wife loves the yogurt and fruit bowls. She suggests vanilla yogurt. I had the 'Big Breakfast'. Next time french toast. Service wonderful. Ambiance good as ever. Hint: you can still buy your sweetie the black News TShirts. read more

News Cafe - News Valentine Special. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

News Cafe...one of the OG's on the beach..yes they have a plaque honoring Gianni Versace, yes they still have some newspapers (remember those?) and the men's bathroom has a picture of the great Antonio Montana. Service is pleasant but laid back, and they still have the a20% automatic gratuity. All that being said, this Sunday's visit definitely earned it and an extra. I stopped by for lunch this Sunday Beach Day, after checking out their much streamlined new menu. It's been reduced some since the days of yore, but since my friends know I had been fiending a good red sauce pasta dish, their Volcano Chicken Parm caught my eye. I sat down, ordered my (pretty decently blended) mojito, and sipped it while people watching. Next thing I know, my server brings a large plate with grilled chicken occupying major amounts of plate real estate, a helping of pasta and a big pot of something. This delicious melted bechamel of melted cheese and red sauce was the perfect blend of "Sunday Gravy" that would have another famous (cinematic) entrepreneur (the owner of Satriale's #iykyk) very happy. It was well flavored and very generously portioned. I did leave a little space for the bread pudding waffle dessert (hit the spot and could be a meal itself) as a closing shot of Wooford Reserve. I'm glad I rediscovered News Cafe! read more

Had breakfast here while in South Beach- the place is cute and sits right on Ocean drive- indoor and outdoor seating. The server was great- friendly and accommodating of any requests to sub items. The breakfast was tasty and filling- portions were a nice size. The Oat milk lattes were really good and well made. I subbed an egg white omelet and picked the filling- no problems- so far in the area, this is the best breakfast! read more

Elmer, our server was friendly , accommodating and checked on us without hovering.. when our group went from 3-9 people he pivoted and handled everyone with the same welcoming attitude he had with us. The food was fresh and good, espresso shots not overly acidic, they have alt milk options. Playlist was great.. music always adds to the mood. There are stairs to get to The restrooms And the inside where you can purchase souvenirs with the famous cafe logo. Overall great experience. read more

The restaurant has a history with Gianni Versace, so that adds to its intrigue. However, the food was a little lackluster. Tomato soup was ok and the grilled cheese was short on cheese. Service was all business. read more

We had a fantastic breakfast at this restaurant! I made reservations, but we came an hour early after coming off a cruise. They accommodated us without an issue and we sat outside and enjoyed the lovely scenery and fans they had outside to keep you comfortable. Our server, Hugo, was great! He was friendly, attentive and provided excellent recommendations. We had the News Cafe breakfast with the Pina colada pancakes. All the food was good, but the pancakes were particularly impressive. The belini was also very refreshing and not too sweet. This is a spot I would definitely visit again in Miami. read more

I recently visited this restaurant with my elderly parents, who were visiting me. Unfortunately, what should have been a nice dinner turned into an extremely unpleasant experience. When we arrived, the music was blaring so loudly that it was physically uncomfortable and we could barely hear one another speak. We were the only customers in the restaurant, yet the volume was completely unreasonable. I immediately explained to the bartender, who was standing near the hostess stand, that the music needed to be turned down or we would not be able to stay and eat. He told me he needed to speak with the manager. The manager then arrived, and rather than addressing the situation professionally, the manager, bartender, and hostess began gossiping about us directly in front of us. They ultimately agreed to turn the music down, and we decided to stay. Unfortunately, after we ordered and our food was brought to the table, the music was turned back up extremely loud. At that point, it felt as though our concerns had been deliberately ignored after we had already committed to staying and ordering. What was especially upsetting was the combination of the staff discussing us openly in front of us and then allowing the music to become excessively loud again. We were there with elderly parents and simply wanted to have a comfortable dinner where we could actually hear each other talk. As a Miami Beach local, I find this particularly disappointing. We were literally the only customers dining at the restaurant, so I would have expected the staff to make some effort to provide a welcoming experience and accommodate a very reasonable request. In hindsight, we should have simply left when the situation first occurred. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because the way this was handled was unprofessional, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. read more

Located in south beach near muscle beach along the Art Deco hotels you'll fine News Cafe at 8th & Ocean Drive. We were looking for an outside cafe offering brunch all day. News Cafe was the perfect spot! We parked our rental bikes street side and relaxed to cool off and enjoy brunch. Salmon & Avocado Omelette and Burrata Caprese hit the spot. Service is excellent and relaxed. We had great service and suggestions offered by our sweet server Juan. The hostess was more than helpful on where to safely park our hotel bikes. I don't know why the yelp stars are so low. It looks like a lot of the bad reviews are older reviews or price point complaints. News Cafe is a 4-5 star spot! Every decent restaurant in South Beach is going to be expensive. The portions are large and filling - so for that - you do get what you pay for. Thank You! read more

We only had drinks here, but the folks working couldn't have been more welcoming or friendly. Neat bar inside, but it's a lively place to sit and watch the world go by - and a place of some historic note as well. If you're strolling down Ocean, hit News Cafe for a drink after you do the Front Porch at the Betsy. You'll probably like News Cafe better. read more

Went here 3 days in a row. When I lived in Miami I would come all the time. I either didn't realize how good it was or this place has just gotten better.

This is such a cool spot! It has been in South Beach for a while and it never disappoints! We were seated promptly and the ambiance was really nice. Our server, Petronio, was outstanding! He was attentive, fun and really friendly. We had a lot of fun talking to him! We shared the guacamole to start, and for my entree, I shared the fish tacos. They were really good. We also ordered the truffle fries and they were delicious. The rest of the entrees looked good too. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant for any meal! read more

Great spot along the crowded strip in Miami Beach. Tucked under one of the old hotels is a traditional American breakfast place with a menu that covers the entire spectrum of breakfast foods and dishes. Slightly pricey for breakfast, but typical for Miami Beach prices. A lot of shade which is great to beat that beach heat and an ideal location to start exploring the strip or head on over to the beach. read more

We love the News Cafe! Miami south beach classic! This time around I got the burger and my partner ordered the fish and chips. Realizing they don't have malt vinegar, we swiftly change the order to steak frites, because what is fish and chips without malt vinegar. We ordered the tuna tartare for starters and it was yummy. One cosmo and kiwilicious cocktail with gin later and we are onto our entrees. One Gianni Burger and Steak Frites. Divine. Petronio was outstanding and a shining light. Great service from and the rest of the staff. Sitting outside watching the pedestrians on Ocean Ave is always a spectacle. Love being able to play fashion police and munch on a fry simultaneously. Overall, always great. Will be back soon. read more

Been coming here for years, but first review (guess I went pre Yelp). Beautiful Friday morning we dined outside to enjoy the outdoors and people watch. Ordered an espresso which was quite good. Then had a 3 egg omelette with avocado, asparagus, and boursin cheese. Seasoned potatoes and toast. Really enjoyed it. One of my kids ordered a fresh fruit and yogurt platter and it was beautiful. Overall, for the 4 of us was $110 out the door...for breakfast. Not sure I can do that often! Plus parking :) read more

Breakfast with a side of politics! This is the quintessential SOBE breakfast place. The staff tending to the table was courteous and the food was adequately prepared; Bloody Marys were giant and delicious. We did have to sit through (The Hill News) a partisan TV show during a Christmas morning visit. Should leave politics out of dining, unless you want to make 60% of the country uncomfortable. I don't want Donald Trump and JD Vance to join me for breakfast when I'm paying premium prices. Not the right ambience. read more
