    The food and drinks were great, we stopped here on a whim while in Miami and we were pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was good for breakfast food, the service was great. Would def go back if I was in Miami again.

    American Breakfast

    Food and coffee were both great. Service was a bit pretentious. No condiments on tables so you ask for hot sauce and syrup and get an eye roll... nice fast casual setup so would be good to have condiments by the water dispenser.

    Spanish Breakfast

    such a cute little cafe in a cute area! they have both outdoor and indoor seating. we stopped here for breakfast when we were in miami and they had a huge variety on their menu that i couldn't decide what to get! we ordered at the cashier and picked a table inside since it was super hot outside. the food was prepared really quickly. i got the spanish breakfast and the golden latte. the spanish breakfast was super filling, and i'd definitely get it again! this was my first time trying plantains and they were good! i think the spanish breakfast included tofu as well, but it was very chewy so i couldn't finish it all. i've never had a golden latte before, so i was surprised when it was actually yellow. would definitely come back and try more from their menu!

    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).

    Shakshuka

    This is a cafe with restaurant quality food. You order at the counter but they bring the food to you. I got the shashuka which tasted fresh and zesty. However, the eggs were cooked through so the yolk did not burst the way I wanted it to. My husband got the Spanish breakfast which was honestly better than the shashuka

    What a lovely atmosphere this restaurant has! Came here for a late breakfast and we dined outside. I ordered the Shaksukka and a side of sausage, along with an oatmilk latte. The entree was very good and full of flavor. I loved how billowy and soft, yet toasted the pita wedges were. Very filling dish and I could only eat about half. The side of sausage was a big portion! Not bad for $6. Service was good and food brought out quickly. I will say that the restaurant dining area and outside seating area are so lovely and inviting that it makes their bathroom pale in comparison.

    Novela Cafe Social is great place to do some work or just chill. I came here on my last day in Miami for some lunch and I had shakshuka, which was profoundly delicious paired with a green juice. We sat outside enjoying the sun and the vibes of Wynwood. Service was quick and I got my order in no time! If I lived in the area I definitely would choose this place as a work/study spot.

    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 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.

    Came to Café Bastille for a Yelp event and brought my mom along for a cute little mother-daughter…read morebrunch date... and Yelp might've put me on to something with this one. 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!

    A glimpse of Paris in the middle of Miami…read more I found this spot on TikTok before coming to Miami and it was on my must-see list. It was too busy to get a seat on Sunday morning so we came back on Monday morning and were seated immediately. We chose inside seating for a break from the Miami heat but it was even a little warm inside. The decor is adorable and Instagram worthy. But it's not just a cute spot with mediocre food. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I had. I started with the summer Bellini. It was adorned with a slice of dragonfruit and the peach flavor was full and robust. For brunch I had the salmon omelette without tomatoes/onions. It was so full of flavor. I think the truffle oil is what took it over the top. The avocado spread on the multigrain sourdough bread was so good. The side of potatoes was good but I restrained myself by only having a few bites. Service was also good. I believe our server's name was Ebony. She was super kind and attentive. A short walk from the Kimpton Epic hotel for a trip to Paris! I can't wait to return.

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.

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.
