Very high quality breakfast food, pastries, and coffees. If you want a sit down breakfast you can have it, but if you want to just grab something quick and go you can do that too. Kind of expensive so be prepared but it's definitely worth it. Different seating types available inside and outside. Small place but cute
So many delicious pastries on display, it's hard to choose. But the big vat of hot oil for fresh churros is what caught my attention. They are the specialty here and totally worth trying! Churros w/ SG Chocolate & Dulce de Leche: What a treat! Thin churros fried fresh to order. They are the legit Spanish variety, not the thick cinnamon sugar Mexican derivative. Loved how airy and crispy they were. The thick chocolate sauce was perfect for dipping, clinging nicely to the churro and adding a rich coating. I also ordered an extra dulce de leche since I love that sweet jolt. Latte: Nicely executed, A good pairing to the churros.
I can only speak for this churros since the two times I've been here that's all I've ordered. Definitely on higher end odlf price spectrum. But it is very good. I was much more impressed with the dipping cholocate this time than a year ago. Wish they had drinking chocolate. The food tKe longer than you think to be served but that's because they are making it (at least the churros) after you order. So you always have them fresh. Great location right near the beach.
Olé! I brought my family (my aunt's 90th B-Day) to recreate the taste of Spanish churros. We arrived by mid-afternoon. We ordered a mixed sample of small bites. We wanted the paella, but they ran out. Spanish bocata, ham croquettes and tortillas. All were delicious: the bocata with Serrano ham & Manchego cheese. Croquettes were bite-sized delights with crunchy, creamy insides. The tortilla is made to order with potatoes and onions. Drinks :Water & Estrella beer f To cap the lunch, churros & hot chocolate. One orders and pays at the counter. Food is delivered to the table. Service was prompt and friendly. The bill has a 15% service charge included. We enjoyed the food very much, the food and place. We will be back.
We stopped by this cafe for the first time after reading good reviews, and I must say we really enjoyed our meal here! The staff were attentive, friendly, and the two cooks were working tirelessly to make great food. The environment was bustling and lively! Our meals were fantastic - I had the breakfast tacos and they were phenomenal!! The iced latte was good as well, nothing special though!
Very nice restaurant in the South Beach area, we stopped for coffee on a weekday morning. Not very crowded, which was nice ... service was quick, the staff was very friendly and helpful with explanations of the many food items available and on display! The place was clean! Nice little dining area. Coffee was delicious, and our little morning pastries were very tasty! We'd go back! Recommend San Gines!
Whenever we get a cold snap in Miami, the only thing I want for breakfast is churros y chocolate, so San Ginés is where I go to get my fix. They need to open a location somewhere on the mainland because the trek out to the Beach is really a pain point, but it is quicker than hopping a flight to Madrid! The churros y chocolate are delightful. The churros are made to order so they are served warm and crisp, and the chocolate is rich, thick, slightly bitter decadence. Even better is the dulce de leche dip -- but only if it's warm/melted. Some days they will melt it and it's literally the best sauce in the world, and some days it seems they can't be bothered so it's a goopy paste which still tastes great but that texture is not ideal for dipping churros. Service is just okay...South Beach has notoriously abysmal service in most places anyway, so 'just okay' rates rather well in this area. It's conveniently located near Lincoln Road so you can walk around afterward or just sit and people-watch. There is seating outside and inside, and there are some high-top tables inside as well.
I'm not sure what all the negative reviews are for but we couldn't have had a better experience. We stopped by Friday night, Service was fantastic from all the staff. We ordered churros, hot chocolate and flan. The churros were excellent! Crispy, hot, and nicely coated in sugar while the inside was soft and fluffy. The hot chocolate was perfect. Rich, thick, dark chocolate that wasn't too sweet and stuck to the churros. The flan was amazing too. Rich and silky smooth, not overly sweet, and great custardy flavor.
Wow! Its been years since i was last in Spain and this spot had me in a chokehold for lunch. All the specialties from tortillas, pastries, jamon serrano, and cafecitos, are available. The displays are just as mouthwatering as the dish you are served. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Bathrooms are clean and have a code. There are two outdoor tables. Inside is cool with A/c to beat the miami heat but you can still catch views out the massive glass store front. I only wish my stomach was bigger to have more tasty delights. Will definitely return
Great breakfast selection. Have juices, pastries and more. Little place to sit outside as well. Eggs weren't fluffy.
I was in the area and wanted to try a different cafe than Rosetta and others around that I like so I gave this a chance. It was horrrible. Service is superrrr slow and they got my order wrong. Its self serve...order on the counter...and tell me why its automatic gratuity, resort fee, etc...so many fees and the food is already sooo expensive since its miami beach so I understand to an extent. On top of bad service and how expensive it is....I ordered beef empanadas which were one of the cheaper items btw...and it took a while...when I got it it was cold...and getting their attention is non existent. Then I tried the chocolate croissant hoping it would be decent since this place claims to be a chocolatier? It was soooo dry and not fresh at all...barely even warmed despite my request. I know miami beach is expensive...and sometimes ok fine at least this was enjoyable but no everything was terrible- Poor food quality, poor service, expensive. Tourist rip off...never ever going back! As a local I highly recommend Rosetta next door instead.
Not bad at all. I was curious since I had been to San Gines in Spain before, and I thought it was okay (maybe I'm biased toward Mexican churros), so was wondering how it would be here in Miami Beach. We ordered the six regular churros with dulce de leche on the side and hot chocolate, and I was actually pretty impressed at how crispy these were on the outside and tender on the inside (might I say ... better than I had in Spain, which were a bit on the harder side). These paired well with the thick hot chocolate (made for dipping by the way, not drinking!). The dulce de leche was also pretty good too. Service was friendly, though the wait was a bit longer. Perhaps because these are made fresh. In terms of the place itself, there was tonsss of seating, and some wifi, albeit not that strong, so I'm not sure it would be a great place to study. But definitely good for gathering up a group of friends. I've had better churros elsewhere, but overall this was good! I wouldn't make a whole trip out of just going here, but I'd stop by again if I were to be in the area.
Yelp Review 2026 #193: It's been a while my last visit to San Gines in Madrid - the oldest churreria in the world. When I found out they have a location in Miami, of course, I had to go! Located in Miami Beach on Collins and Lincoln, it's a small cafe. I was surprised to see sandwiches displayed at their window because San Gines in Madrid only made churros con chocolate and drinks. They have sandwiches, wraps, tortilla española, Croquetas, filled churros, breakfast food, and matcha! They don't have those in Madrid. CHURROS CON CHOCOLATE: I didn't let myself get distracted by all these menu items. I came here for churros con chocolate and that's what I got. They fry the churros to order so they're piping hot when I got them. They only give you a tiny cup of chocolate to the churros in. In Madrid, you get a tea cup of chocolate! But I asked for another serving of chocolate - they gave it to me for free. The chocolate is thinner at this location. But did it satisfy my Spanish churro craving? Absolutely! 4/5 FROZEN ESPRESSO COFFEE: Espresso double, milk, and caramel-vanilla. 4/5 Until I return to Madrid... Service was not the warmest/ friendliest. They were...just there. They'll give you what you ask for. read more

While I Miami Beach for the annual cruise trade show called Seatrade I needed to grab something QUICK before the walk to the convention center for the marathon of the meetings I had. This bakery is across the street from the Kimpton where I was staying and so it looked like a good option. I entered to no one in line and five employees causally working. When standing at the counter none of the employees acknowledged me or came over until after three or four minutes and another group of a half dozen customers. I finally got a lackluster greeting and ordered a butter croissant and bottle of water. This cost over $13 that includes the MANDITORY 20% tip included in all restaurants. This is a huge issue in Miami Beach that a number of people voiced disappointment with this year's Seatrade. The service has gone into the toilet because the staff get tipped automatically at 20%, so they seem to care less to help. I never tip this much for counter service and would not have given any for this lack of service. The pastry was also not that good either and I wouldn't come back next year when we come back for the annual Seatrade. read more

The food was ok, service was quick and ambiance was ok...they didn't really understand what we wanted and they do not toast anything! Don't ask for crispy bacon or potatoes they don't know. Very over priced but we are in Miami. Wouldn't come back here. read more
I love churros so I'm always on the hunt for good ones. San Gines in Miami Beach is just what I'm looking for. Established in Madrid in 1894, they serve the freshest churros and a chocolate dip that's just to die for. As soon as you walk in, you'll be enticed by some delicious croissants, cookies, sandwiches, and other pastries. But the real star of the show is their made-to-order churros. You can choose 4 or 6 pieces and different sauces and toppings. I'd stick to the original with their famous San Gines melted chocolate dip. It's so savory and not too sweet. Perfect for a rainy day or cold weather. Also, their sandwiches are good. You can't go wrong with the Cubano and Smash Burger. And don't skip on the frozen coffees. Definitely try the Caramel or Mocha and go for the whipped cream :) I'm a fan of this place. I just wish it was closer to my home because I'd probably be there everyday. LOL :) read more

We stopped by to try their famous churros. I was a little hungry so I also had eggs. Overall pleasant place in Miami Beach. Quick, efficient, friendly. I wasn't sure how to order churros, the lady helped me to decide. They were fresh and delicious (even though I am not a fan of sweets). Parking on the street. Laid back place with a few tables inside and outside. I would recommend, they have different food. 4 stars because for some reason they put everything to go, or maybe it is their policy. read more
Located across the street from Miami Beach A very delicious cute spot that serves a nice Cuban sandwich and delicious fresh churros. Miami prices for good food. The churros is a MUST. The pastries are also a must. Paid parking in a lot or paid parking on the streets read more

Great hot spot for hot chocolate and churros and people watching The service is amazing They make the churros to order and the hot chocolate is reach and creamy. Yummy read more
Incredible experience! I went to this place last month in Madrid. Their menu is different, they ONLY have churros. Here in Miami, the menu is past. From pastries to sandwiches, you are guaranteed to find something you like. The churros were made fresh in front of you. They were lightly dusted with cinnamon sugar. You are given warm chocolate and dulce de Leche sauce to dunk in! The croquetta we tried was prosciutto and Swiss! Yummy but cheese flavor was overpowering. The Spanish tortilla was outstanding!! Egg, potato, and cheese with almost an aioli to dip in! I really want to return for their croissants! Their iced coffee is also pretty good if you need a bit of caffeine! read more

I've been to the original San Gines in Madrid so I was excited to visit the Miami location! Cause who doesn't love churros. As you enter, you are invited by their beautiful display of pastries. It made me want to get one of each. But I came for the churros!! I also got a pistachio croissant because they're my absolute fav! The pistachio cream inside was very creamy & rich with the right amount of sweetness. The churros were delicious as well! My bf got a breakfast sandwich that was huge! It could've easily passed as a burger. He said he really enjoyed it cause the sausage patty was different than what he's used to. read more

The Madrid location has Gluten Free churros. Does this new location offer gluten free?
I don't think so. Churros are marked as vegetarian and kosher but n gluten free option is posted anywhere.
