    Everything bagel, bacon, sausage, and cream cheese with chives.

    I've been coming to this place for over 25 years. I walked in today after not being here for like six months and I come to find out if they changed somehow someway their food has gotten better. I don't know how.

    Current menu

    Prices have increased & I wish they had new bagel flavors. Not sure it is worth the drive but a bagel is a bagel!

    Spinach and tomato Omelette with cheese.

    Quick and delicious breakfast. Small place located in a strip mall. Everything was made on the spot with fresh ingredients. The omelettes and bagels were great! The little potato salad that comes as a side was fresh and delicious. I was just a little disappointed with the salmon, it was tasteless. Also, the outside tables and chairs were not clean. They ran out of napkins while we were there, but they were quickly replenished. Fast and friendly service

    One of the BEST salmon bagel in town! The dough is very soft big amount of salmon and also the potato salad is one of the best sides you can choose :)

    Two eggs and bagel breakfast
    Maria A.

    Went there this week while on staycation. We wanted a good bagel so we thought why not bagel express. Once we got there we thought that they have breakfast so we chose the two egg, bagel and coffee breakfast. Plain breakfast but satisfying. The bagel were handmade therefore they tasted good. They charged a little extra for bagel with cream cheese but that's ok. Customer Service is a little dry but not disrespectful, so I can handle that.

    Classic breakfast!!

    This used to be one of my top breakfast destinations during my Miami Dade College years. Decided to grab some breakfast and ordered their smoked salmon platter with wheat bagel. Amazing , got a great portion of the fresh salmon and onions, capers, and chives cream cheese. Family owned and great hidden gem in West Kendall.

    Nova Scotia Platter on an everything bagel with a side of potato salad and a pickle.
    Falyn H.

    The Nova Scotia on an everything bagel hit the spot this morning! The pickle is definitely an acquired taste and not one that I personal had. Lol I was too full from the bagel to make it to the potato salad, but I did taste it and it was really good. My husband had the garlic bagel and liked it, but said it was a bit too salty for him. Are you a Dr. Brown's soda pop fans like my husband? They got you cover here with a variety of flavors. The staff was nice and made sure to clean down the outside tables in between guests. We live down the street from this sweet little bagel shop, so we'll definitely be coming back again soon.

    I was really looking forward to trying Jholano's in the Gables, after seeing many positive reviews,…read morebut unfortunately our experience didn't live up to them. The space itself was small but clean. When my husband and I walked in, there were no other customers. The young lady behind the register was looking down at her phone and didn't greet/acknowledge us when we came in. Even once we were standing in front of the register, my husband said hello first, she looked up but still didn't greet us, just slightly grinned and waited for us to start ordering. When we did order we had to repeat ourselves three times because nothing was being written or entered as we ordered. I thought maybe she was new or this was one of her first jobs, but the whole interaction felt very disconnected. I ordered one of the egg sandwiches. The bread was fresh and had a slight sweetness that I actually liked, but overall it was not anything I'd order again. My husband ordered the 6PM in Tuscany, which was around $26. Unfortunately, his sandwich was missing several of the listed ingredients. We hadn't requested any modifications, so after tasting it, we actually checked the menu again because something seemed off. The chicken cutlet had no crunch, the sandwich was bland, and was just missing so much he didn't even finish it. I really wanted to love this place because of all the great reviews I had seen. Maybe we caught the Coral Gables location on an off day, but between the service and the food not matching what was listed on the menu, this visit was unfortunately a disappointment. I genuinely wish Jholano's well, but based on the experience we had a couple of Sundays ago, I wont be rushing back.

Sure, you could do a bit of grocery shopping, but…read morelet's be honest, you're here to hunt down oddball snacks and niche sundries you didn't know you needed. Open since the '70s, these Pinecrest pioneers launched their Central European mini‑market as a side hustle, all while earning their keep as classical musicians. That kind of multitasking deserves a drink. Start smart with a refreshment like Almdudler. The closest American parallel is a love child of Dr. Pepper and Sprite, but that sells it short. This Austrian classic is a bit herbal thanks to elderflower and sage, yet snaps with lemon zest, and happily moonlights as a mixer for beer, wine, vodka, and even cold brew. Honorable mentions go to Apfelschorle (apple juice spritz) and the pride of Salzburg's suds, Stiegl blond lager. Whether you believe the lozenge or the tea came first, Ricola Schweizer Kräutertee, an instant herb tea, will knock a cold flat on its back. In my home, it completes an anti‑illness trinity alongside Advil and Vicks VapoRub. Mainzer's also stocks a tight but thoughtful lineup of German personal‑care creams and cosmetics, because sometimes your sinuses and skin are on red alert. The deli slings cold sandwiches stacked with Schinken (ham) or Gelbwurst, a pork‑and‑veal bologna seasoned with ginger, nutmeg, and white pepper that can be customized with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, or mustard. Hot subs come piled onto rolls with sauerkraut and mustard. The Brat and Weisswurst lead the sales, but the Double-Smoked BLT remains a point of almost defiant pride for the Mainzer clan. I could keep waxing poetic about all the shelf treasures, but this women‑owned piece of Pinecrest history demands boots on the ground. Dive into the unusually deep selection of chocolates and marzipan, debate the finest ketchup for a currywurst, and boldly snack where few South Floridians have snacked before.

I've been coming to the Roasters original Pinecrest location for 26 years. And for most of those Ivan has been working Sunday mornings! Their bagels are always on point, which I usually request to be scooped and toasted (my technique is cream cheese first, then whitefish salad inside the scoop) and come in all the good flavors, but none of the not a bagel flavors. Their nova comes in multiple grades (regular and Acme(tm)) which is sliced by Florida's top professional "nova slayer" in such a way that it is just better than the best you'll have anywhere else. Their whitefish salad is the most classic and perfectly prepared I have had anywhere. The original Roasters is the only NY Deli in Miami that always lives up to the name.

    Hello everybody and hard to believe that I have been coming to this traditional Jewish Deli for…read moreyears now and never written a review but here goes as I can tell you that they really deserve it. Lots of Lox Deli in my opinion is a jewel located in the South Dade area of Miami, nestled in the Pinecrest / Palmetto Bay area. Truth be told there are not many traditional Jewish deli's left in South Dade so we are very lucky to have them. This is a family owned business that has been turning out great New York style sandwiches and deli items for many years. You all know how much I love local businesses and we really need to support great local businesses as much as possible. One particular item they have on the menu which is not found in many places is their deli style Tongue Sandwich. Yes I know it sounds weird but it is absolutely delicious and very hard to find. Most of their food items such as their soups and slaws are for the most part home made on premises which means they are always fresh. The service and atmosphere as you can imagine is true to form, a little noisy with everyone talking and enjoying their food and the servers really do a great job of getting things going for you as quickly as possible. On this occasion, I ordered the vegetable soup and the hot pastrami sandwich, piled high with awesome pastrami. As expected, it was excellent and very fresh. Outside of the menu, make sure to checkout the specials on the white board on the main wall, as they always have some items that are not on the menu on that board. Parking should not be a problem as they are located in a strip mall on US1 and their tends to be plenty available; however, they do get busy on weekends and lunch time so plan accordingly. Overall, Lots of Lox really does an amazing job and I if you like traditional deli style food I am sure you will too. Wishing you all a great deli experience! Enjoy and Bon Appétit mes amis!

However, we probably waited another 20 mins after. While we waited more people showed up, but our food was not getting done any quicker. People who ordered in person got their order first, and they came in at least 5-10 mins after we arrived. I have worked in the food industry, so I do understand that it gets busy, however when we came in time, it was announced that we were there to pick up the food. Only one employee apologized for how long it was taking. I would have thought that our food was going to be done first. The drinks were alright, we got the lemonade, and half sweet and unsweet tea. We ordered the King Club, Chicken salad Sandwich, Spicy Turkey Melt and the Max Spud. Mind you, these items were all half, so imagine waiting more than 30 mins total from the time we ordered to the time we got the food. The King club was good, the honey mustard added a nice sweetness. The Spicy Turkey melt was mid, I think it could do without the avocado. The Chicken Salad sandwich was good too, I love the little sweetness the cranberries added. The Max spud was also mid. I don't think I'm a baked potato kind of person. The vibes were like as if Panera and TooJays had a baby. Would come back for the food but service could improve.

I stopped by this well-established "bakery" chain for a quick bite. I chose the Pinecrest location because I always thought it was the nicer one. Other locations, particularly Doral, leave a lot to be desired in terms of ambiance. That's not to say this location is anything extraordinary, but at least it feels like a place you'd actually want to sit down and visit. It's been a long time since I last came here. I can't remember if they always stayed open until 9 PM on regular days, but I distinctly remember that on weekends at least, they used to close around 6 PM, and that by 5:30 PM the kitchen was often already shutting down. Because I generally wake up around 2 or 3 PM on weekends, this place became impractical for me long ago. I eventually found far better options closer to home that stay open later and offer a much broader selection of bakery/pastry items, all-day breakfast, while also offering sandwiches, entrées, desserts, and just about everything else. Still, after years of rotating through the same places, my friend and I decided to venture out, especially since I had woken up "early" by my standards. We arrived around 5 PM and I was absolutely floored by the menu prices. Wagyu or not, a smash cheeseburger for $25? A seafood fettuccine for $36? At a 3.6-star corner bakery? Dishes that cost around $18 a few years ago, such as the Black Forest ham and cheese scramble with coffee and orange juice, are now effectively $24 once you add the $2 extra charge for the coffee and small orange juice that used to be included. That's a staggering 33% increase from what was already an expensive meal three years ago. And that percentage doesn't tell the whole story, because even back then their prices were already 30% to 50% higher than many of their competitors. And let's be honest: the supposedly superior ingredients didn't exactly create some unforgettable culinary experience. You'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference between their Black Forest ham and the regular ham served elsewhere. Back to yesterday's visit. I had already driven there and didn't feel like searching for another place. Plus, my usual order at bakeries is a ham and cheese croissant, and that happened to be one of the few things on their menu that hadn't reached absurd pricing territory. At around $8, it's arguably one of their better deals, especially considering that a croissant filled with Nutella or some other typical filling costs roughly the same. Granted, it's not even a traditional ham and cheese croissant like the ones found in 99% of bakeries. It's a smaller version with the ham and cheese baked inside, almost like a pastelito. So when you factor this in, it's equally overpriced. Naturally, destiny enjoys playing jokes on me. The waitress informed me that they had already run out of croissants... at 5 PM... in a bakery supposedly known for its croissants. She then explained that they had shifted "more toward their bistro concept." I couldn't help but wonder: what bistro? Adding a few wildly overpriced restaurant dishes to your menu doesn't magically transform a bakery into a bistro. It simply gives the impression that you've drifted away from your original identity. And that's unfortunate because, as a French bakery, the selection here is already surprisingly limited. Compare them to competitors like Bonjour French Bakery and the difference becomes obvious. They simply can't compete. La Boulangerie mostly offers a handful of pastries and some jarred desserts and calls it a day. As for the coffee, both Bonjour French Bakery and Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar completely outclass them. Their coffee is richer, smoother, more flavorful, their prices are more reasonable, and their menus offer a broad selection, from all day breakfast to sandwiches, entrées, as well as pastas. Which brings me to the giant sign in the middle of the restaurant that proudly says "BAKERY" and to the word "BOULANGERIE" itself, the French term for a bakery specializing in bread and baked goods. Those words have never felt more irrelevant. There's a reason this place sits at a 3.6-star average rating as of this review. Had I seen that beforehand, I never would have driven this far based solely on memories from two years ago. I have a simple rule when it comes to restaurants: I don't go anywhere with less than four stars on Yelp. This visit was a good reminder of why.
