    Went here because i was walking by and saw they just opened and i wanted a coffee after my workout. I ordered just a plain vanilla iced latte. It was too warm for an iced latte and had way too much syrup. The person taking my order wasnt too friendly. Probably wouldnt come back, or if i do, it would only be for food (their pancakes for breakfast looked good).

    Sausage Egg & Cheese & Ube Matcha

    We stopped by Novela Cafe Social in Wynwood on a whim because the Miami weather was perfect and we wanted some outdoor seating. The patio is really cute and the atmosphere is relaxed, making it a great spot to work on your laptop or just hang out. The food honestly was delicious. I had the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich and it was so surprisingly incredible. The fried egg with the crunchy layer of cheese surrounding it was especially good. I'm still wishing I could have another one. I also tried the Ube Matcha, which was nice and subtle. Next time I'd probably add honey for it to be a little sweeter. If you're in the area and want a cozy spot with surprisingly delicious food, definitely check out Novela Cafe Social. It's an awesome find, especially when the weather's nice. Total hidden gem!

    After an evening out, my husband and I desperately needed strong coffee and a big breakfast. Parking in Miami is a nightmare, but walking a few blocks was worth it to get to Novela Cafe Social. The cafe is filled with remote workers quietly working and sipping their coffee while others head to the back to a yoga and Pilates studio. The workers were really nice and helpful as we decided what coffee and food to order. I was desperate for coffee so forgive the no picture, but I had an iced latte with extra shot and hazelnut that helped me wake up, and the French toast covered in berries that soaked up the alcohol from the night before. I love challah toast, thick, cinnamon, and the berries came together for a great bite. It really hit the spot! My husband also had an iced latte, I think with honey. The American Breakfast was huge and way more than he expected as he'd ordered sausage on the side not realizing it came with bacon, and there was even hash browns under the scrambled eggs Overall, we had a great experience and if we were local we'd definitely come back, as I see why so many choose to come and work out of this space.

    I thought this place was fantastic, coffee was good food was delicious and the prices are decent. You also get to sit in the courtyard with the beautiful trees definitely recommend!

    This is my 3rd time back! I've had a random craving for French Toast for a week, finally decided to go out and find it, little did I know it would be so close. It was my first time having the Challah French Toast and it was soo worth it! Quite possibly the best I've ever had. Service was much faster than my first experience (disclaimer: I knew it was a one-off). It was a cool cloudy day so I opted to sit inside this time and enjoyed the soft music playing, people quietly working around me, food and coffee being prepared in the background, just easy going, relaxed vibes, exactly what I needed.

    Decided to check out this restaurant with my friend during Art Basel week in Miami. Even though there was traffic it was worth the brunch. Antonio was attentive and quick to help. The outdoor and indoor seating was decorative and open which was a plus.

    The atmosphere is great, lots of seating inside and out. Coffee is great and the food is very good , the portions are filling and very flavorful. Would definitely be back.

    I came with my mom for the first time today on National women's day and I was not disappointed by Novela Café Social, I was impressed. My mom and I love it, she got the Spanish breakfast and I got the avocado toast with eggs and we both got matcha latte. Best place to get a matcha latte. The place is super calm, welcoming with a peaceful atmosphere and the vibe is great. Highly recommended!

    The moment I walked into Novela Café Social in Miami, I knew I wasn't just entering a coffee shop--I was stepping into a full-blown telenovela. The air was thick with drama--in the best way possible. The music, the decor, the aromas... it was like every sense was dialed up to eleven. I ordered a cortado and the moment the barista handed it to me--no joke--I felt like I had just received a love letter. The foam was like silk, the espresso rich and deep, like a secret no one dared speak out loud. I sat near the window, watching the world pass, and somehow even the sunlight pouring in felt romantic. Then came the food. I wasn't ready. The shakshuka? A passionate explosion of flavor. The avocado toast? A plot twist with every bite. Even the salad had more drama than a season finale. I half expected someone to burst in and declare their love in front of everyone. The energy in the space is electric. Strangers make eye contact like old lovers, friends talk with animated hands and laughter that fills the air like a soundtrack. I caught myself daydreaming mid-bite, imagining I was the lead in some sweeping love story--complete with espresso and scandal. Novela Café Social isn't just a place to get coffee. It's an experience. A beautiful, bold, over-the-top, ridiculously delicious experience. If you ever wanted your morning to feel like chapter one of something unforgettable, this is the place.

    Cheesy Eggs on Brioche
    LaKayla L.

    I tried this place with a couple of friends while we were waiting to head to our cruise. The ambiance is absolutely amazing. As soon as you walk in you feel the vibe and it's very cozy and inviting. A plus is that there are soooo many outlets near the seating area. There's also an outside sitting area that's covered. We opted to sit inside because it was a little warm out. I ordered the cheesy eggs on a brunch with a side of sausage patties. The eggs were delicious and fluffy. The cheese was divine and the pull effect was real with the cheese. The bottom bun had some sort of jam on it that I didn't realize until I bit into it. It added such a sweetness to the sandwich that blended perfectly. The patties looked to be homemade and were a nice size. Not sure if it was chicken, pork, or turkey. They had a great flavor to them in that they were pretty hearty and nicely seasoned. This meal was nice and filling! I would definitely visit again :)

    The food was good but not amazing. It's pricey given that it's Miami. But the vibes of the place were nice. We are outside in the courtyard under the trees which was very pleasant. The servers were pretty amicable and the decorations were cute. I had the breakfast burrito which tasted good but was a little too greasy for my taste. I would say it's a decent option for breakfast in the area.

    Sausage Egg & Cheese Sammie on a brioche w/ Spicy Mayo & Avocado Toast with fried egg

    Novela is one of my favorite little cafes to work from. The WiFi is solid and the food and coffee never miss. I got the sausage egg and cheese sammie on brioche with spicy mayo and it was unreal--so good I find myself craving it way too often. The avocado toast with a fried egg hits every time too. Their outdoor area is beautiful and makes working from there feel easy and calm

    Classic breakfast. Potatoes are hidden.

    Great patio for hanging with dogs and people. Food was really good and the service was lovely. We had coffee drinks, eggs, breakfast burrito and a Spanish breakfast dish. Only thing we didn't enjoy fully was a green drink. We will be back. And the yoga class inside looked awesome.

    I knew when I saw the 4.3 Yelp rating and hundreds of great reviews, this was the place !! And it…read moresure lived up to its expectations... actually, it surpassed them! The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

    I had been seeing a lot of great reviews about this place, so I was excited to try it, especially…read morethe tacos. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and while they tasted ok, the portion size felt pretty small for the price. Overall, it came across as a bit overpriced for what you get. The service style is more casual and self-directed. You order and pay at the register, get a number, and then find your own seat while they bring the food out to you. Water is self-serve, and once you're done with your meal, you just head out. There's minimal interaction with staff, which might appeal to people who prefer a more low-key, independent dining experience or want a place to sit and work without being interrupted. That said, the service did not feel very friendly or welcoming. And personally, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.
